War Score Cost Improved
Reduces war score cost of provinces and territories to allow larger land grabs in peace deals
- War score cost in peace deals for province claim wars reduced from 0.75 to 0.30
- War score cost in Wars of the Diadochi reduced from 0.75 to 0.15

SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE
Do you remember the first time you conquered Etruria… Samnium… the Greek states of Magna Graecia… finally uniting the Italian Peninsula under the banner of your growing Roman Republic? You salt Carthage in the Punic Wars, dominate the warring Gallic tribes, and see the cradle of western civilization brought to your feet by the Legions. But now you look east at the f*** off massive blobs of the eastern empires that will take centuries to whittle away at province by province. Now with WSCI, you can take more land with less pain!
This mod at its current stage is very basic with two simple changes in conquer_cost for Diadochi Wars and claim wars. Playing more I:R highlighted one of the issues that is war diplomacy. Many people have pointed out the slog that is mid to late game in taking territory. As the game goes on, pop counts in all areas of the map go up increasing the cost of land to ludicrous amounts making it hard to tell the difference between your claim and demanding a province through a show of superiority.
The goal is not to allow complete annexation of entire major powers but to simply allow for ‘larger land grabs in peace deals’. Creating new client states to integrate later on is still a viable strategy and helps in any case to get around annexation costs. Based on feedback and suggestions, values can be changed.
In the future I may go on to change more aspects of war diplomacy such as tweaking war score cost reduction from inventions and values from country ranks. I am starting out with changing modifiers but hope to move on to create a deeper overhaul of how players expand their empire.
