Reward Veterans Consequences
In history, the need to keep the army loyal through donatives and bribes undermined the integrity of the Roman military and political system. To reflect the dangers of relying on payoffs to keep the army loyal, this mod adds the two year country modifier "Army Decadence" to the "Reward Veterans" action, which adds the following effects :
discipline = -0.05
land_morale = -0.05
global_cohort_recruit_speed = 0.1
loyalty_gain_chance_modifier = 0.6
monthly_corruption = 0.02
Not sure if these are the right modifiers to use, or the right values – let me know what you think in the comments, and I’ll work on tweaking them. Adding a bonus to recruit time is intentional and is meant to reflect the increased appeal of joining an army that will shower you with bribe money.
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with most things but will not be compatible with anything that modifies "Reward Veterans." So it probably would not work with an overhaul.
Disclaimer
I have tested the mod to make sure it works and I can’t imagine what it would break, but I haven’t used it in a long playthrough – back up your save and use at your own risk!
