Description:

Start position swaps.

• Swaps Deathmaster Snikch and N’kari
• Swaps Villitch and Azazel
• Swaps Kholek and Sigvald

This mod is 100% script based, so mod conflicts are very unlikely. Changes only take effect if you are playing as one of the 4 pictured factions.

The player is Maio Ying

• Sigvald/N’kari start with some extra territory. N’kari gets some territory in the chaos waste in case he gets wiped out of Cathay
• Sigvald/Azazel/N’Kari start with extra units in their starting army
• Sigvald/Azazel/N’Kari starting army units promoted to rank 9
• Sigvald/Azazel/N’Kari bonus starting treasury

The player is one of the three Slaanesh factions

• Maio Ying starts with her entire home province
• Maio Ying starts with extra units in her starting army.
• Maio Ying starting army units are promoted to rank 9
• Maio Ying bonus starting treasury

The player is any faction

• Diplomatic affinity boost between Slaanesh and Warriors of Chaos factions.
• War is blocked among/between all of the following: Kurgans, Archaon, N’Kari, Sigvald, Azazel, Yusak, Dolgan. This is on by default but can optionally be turned off via the Mod Configuration Tool. Needs to be changed before the campaign starts.

Note that there are no changes to faction "potential" in this mod, as many other mods will let you tweak potential (listed below).

As you can see from the turn 25 screenshot, the current AI is isn’t very aggressive even on VH campaign difficulty. I did nothing as Miao Ying for 25 turns, and Chaos still didn’t breach the bastion.

If you actually want to feel under threat as Cathay, I highly recommend any one of the below mods to improve the AI performance.

Miao Ying vs Slaanesh face off (campaign balance) My other mod, this one will greatly boost the potential (economy cheats) of all Slaanesh aligned factions if you are playing as Maio Ying, and on the other side boost the potential for Maio Ying if you are playing as N’Kari/Azazel/Sigvald.

Unnatural Selection Ultimate
Lets you configure potential buffs and debuffs for individual factions via MCT.
SFO has this feature as well.

Survival Campaign
This one should provide a fun combat boost to all chaos factions (WoC, Khorne, et al), beastmen, skaven, greenskins, and vampire counts. No potential changes so you can combine this mod with either of the "potential" mods above for an extra fun time.

Realistic Aggressive AI
Brings back anti player bias. I looked at the tables and anti player bias is nonexistent in IE as of 2.1 This mod makes the AI smarter about identifying a proper main threat and actually attacking it, but also brings back anti-player bias where it makes sense. No potential changes.
