Excessively Belligerent Obliteration of Factions
One of this mod’s functions needs UMM[www.nexusmods.com] (install using DoorstopProxy) to work. You can totally use this mod without it, but it might be harder to kill off enemy factions without waiting a really, really long time. Like, it can still take a few years to get rid of enemy factions WITH this mod.
About
I dislike the fact that the other factions are alive. I really dislike the fact I can’t get rid of them easily. I really, really dislike the fact that the only other mod that lets me get rid of them is sometimes not enough. I want to be able to channel my inner Dalek and EXTERMINATE!!! the opposition, to make it clear that this is my world and YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN MY WORLD.
So, I made this mod. Similarly to Destroy Factions Permanently, this mod enables ‘destroying’ AI factions by draining their influence. Kill all of their councilors, and they’ll eventually stop coming back. How this mod goes about doing that is rather different, however. DFP accomplishes it by adding an influence generation penalty from the very start of the game, while this mod adds increasing penalties over time.
As the name implies, EBOF does this rather aggressively. On the 15th year it will trigger a drain of -1 per day. On the 30th year it will increase to -3/day. Finally, on the 50th year it will go all the way to (a total of) -5/day, or the influence gain from having half of the world’s public opinion. Additionally, the mod sets an influence cap of 5,000. This is where the UMM requirement comes into play.
This isn’t as bad as it might sound; for as long as you stay on top of public opinion, keep high-level councilors, and build housing buildings in space, you will end up with more than enough influence anyways. By the time the penalties come into effect, it should be a non-issue for you. You can only ‘lose’ when you lose all of your councilors and space industry, which isn’t easy.
Or maybe not, and I’ve way overtuned this. I myself will be finding out firsthand in the coming days and weeks. I very much want feedback on my changes, so fire away!
