Description:

Vanilla friendly set of configurable options to raiders in the game. Raids are too rare? Want to disable raiders entirely? Tired of constantly scared raiders? This might be a mod you are looking for.

This mod doesn’t modify save file and can be added/removed without issues.

Config

This game uses a configuration file to save those settings, which can be found in:
Windows: C:/users/{your_username}/AppData/Roaming/songsofsyx/settings/EmiTheWitch.txt
Linux: home/{your_username}/.local/share/songsofsyx/settings/EmiTheWitch.txt) OR inside your wineprefix

It will be created the first time you load any game with the mod active.

How to change settings:

  • Edit the .txt file directly.
  • OR use the Extra Info mod by EmilyTheWitch to access a "Mod Settings" tab in-game.

Changes should work as soon as you reload the game or manual/auto save is triggered. If it doesn’t do the trick – restart the game.

Default config
Raid_Settings_Bounty_Multiplier=1.0 Raid_Settings_Fearless_Raiders=0 Raid_Settings_Frequency=5.0 Raid_Settings_Leave_My_Raiders_Alone=0 Raid_Settings_Ruthless_Raiders=0 Raid_Settings_Show_All_Raider_Info=0 Raid_Settings_Wealth_Scaling=1.0

To reset your config either replace it with above or remove the file and let game recreate the config. Setting invalid value will reset them to default as well.

Settings explained

Bounty Multiplier (0.0 to 100.0)
Multiplies denars you get for defeating a raider.

Fearless Raiders (0 or 1)
Tired of purposely keeping small garrison and hiding your troops on a lake to provoke weak raiders because you are completionist and want to kill them all? Enable it and their survival instinct will be effectively lobotomized.

Frequency (0.0 to 1000.0)
Direct multiplier to the frequency. 5.0 – 5x more frequent, 0.5 – half as often, 0.0 – disabled

Any value above 500 will likely make raids happen directly one after another. Values above ~300 might create a backlog of raiders to handle one by one even after you remove this mod due to how game code handles raiders.

Wealth Scaling (0.0 to 100.0)
Direct multiplier of wealth impact on raider interest. 0.0 – no raider is ever interested, 1.0 default, 5.0 – raider is interested with 5 times less wealth. Irrelevant when ruthless raiders are enabled.

Leave My Raiders Alone (0 or 1)
So once again a friendly neighbour mentioned a raider that is about to attack you from their territory. You refused to pay and didn’t want help, yet they still not only stopped the raider, but they are upset, that you didn’t pay the raider??? Enabling this setting will make them never intervene unless you specifically use "Ask for Help" button.

Ruthless Raiders (0 or 1)
Raiders ignore wealth. As soon as raids are unlocked, every single raider will want your stuff. They will extort you with you being unable to defend yourself, quite likely without money to pay. Why wouldn’t they? Life is not fair. Enable at your own risk.

Show All Raider Info (0 or 1)
Removes raider fog of war if you don’t care about roleplay like this. You will see portraits and armies of all raiders even if they never raided you.
