Less Province Warscore Cost (-80%)
I’ve always felt that EU4 restricted conquering far too much, and could never allow you or any AI to replicate Alexander’s conquests, Rome’s expansion, Ottoman’s conquest of Mamluks, Mongol conquests, Moghul expansion, the conquests of the first caliphate, viking conquest of england, ect. Additionally, I felt that the player should be able to take as much as they want, with the in-game mechanisms of aggressive expansion and overextension being the only limit, not an arbitrary "warscore" number. If I fully defeat you, I should be able to take as much as I want and weigh the consequences of greed instead of being limited. I also felt that overextension was so brutal. Why would the peasants and my fellow countrymen be so upset about the successful expansion of the country? So I increased the overextension "cap" to 150% instead of 100%. This means you will only get negative "bloodthirsty warmonger" events from overextension if you have over 150% overextension. This mod will let you annex all of France, or Ottomans, or Lithuania, or Mamluks in one decisive war (and face the consequences of doing so).
This mod:
-Reduces warscore cost of all provinces to -80%
-Reduces warscore cost of vassalization to -80%
-Reduces warscore cost of being forced to release an annexed nation by -50%
-Reduces warscore cost of being forced to release a vassal by -50%
-Increases the overextension threshold from 100% to 150%
COMPATIBILITY:
It should work with virtually all mods as long as they don’t change any of those 5 values above. This includes Extended Timeline (ET), Anbennar, and anything else you can think of. I tested this mod with all the ones that I usually play with (over 40 mods), and there were no conflicts. If there are any conflicts or complications that are encountered with any other mods, please let me know so I can list it here and perhaps find a solution.
I have not done extensive testing, so please let me know if there is anything that should be tweaked or doesn’t seem quite right. Please leave a comment of what you think!
