Description:

This is my own personal version for limiting the amount of tomes available to players and the ai. The goal of this mod is to make factions feel more unique during long games by making tome choices matter.

How is this different to other tome limiting mods?

My version follows an unrestricted methodology capping the total amount of tomes a player can research instead of capping the amount of tomes a player can unlock by tier.
In simple terms, This mod restricts players to researching 11 additional tomes with the players starting tome being 12. However, players progress through the tome tree similar to vanilla.
So a players path could be – 2-3-3-3-1, or 2-2-4-3-1 without making any changes to the mod. Upon acquiring the 12th tome, The faction will be locked out from selecting any others so choose wisely.

Are there any rules?

There is no restriction using the default versions
With the restricted versions: The faction must pick a minimum of 2 tier 1 Tomes(Like Vanilla However, they can select more if they choose)
The faction may only pick 1 tier 5 Tome
Tomes are still locked by affinity requirements

Skills per cycle of tomes is set to 4

Will this work with modded tomes?

Yes, I have tested this with multiple tome mods on the workshop.

Will this work with multiple tier 5 tomes mod?

in theory yes, You will still be restricted to researching 12 Tomes however.

Will this work with research scaling mods?

I don’t believe so as they edit the same file.

Can you make a version with x limit of Tomes?

Yes, comment the limit you would like and I will create a variant for you.

Current Variants
Tome Limit 12 – Default
Tome Limit 15
Tome Limit 18
Tome Limit 20
Tome Limit 12 – Tier 1 Restriction
Tome Limit 15 – Tier 1 Restriction
Tome Limit 18 – Tier 1 Restriction
Tome Limit 20 – Tier 1 Restriction

To use a variant version, go into the variant folder of this mod, Select the version folder, go into the folder, select the variant .acp file. Copy the file, Back out to the main mod folder, Delete the Tome_Restriction.acp file and replace with your variant. Rename the variant .acp file to Tome_Restriction.acp
