Virtual Limade for Invictus
This is a simple compatibility patch to make the anti-blobbing mechanics of Virtual Limes (Invictus) play a bit more sweetly with the expanded map and custom mission trees of Imperator: Invictus.
What this does:
Virtual Limes does a great job of preventing border-gore or a Carthage based in Scandia by forcing AI empires to release far-flung conquests as vassals or military marches. However, because Invictus adds many formables and claims to more distant areas via missions, Virtual Limes script will often blocks or hinders the AI from completing their intended missions or possible formables.
This patch widens the underlying expansion boundaries of Virtual Limes so the AI can build their historical empires without getting punished by the script.
Requirements & Load Order:
You must be subscribed to both Imperator: Invictus and Virtual Limes (Invictus).
Place this patch below both of them in your playset load order.
Compatibility Notes:
Should work with everything as long as the required mods are present – it just modifies some scripted triggers used by Virtual Limes invictus) (adding a single small txt file to the game). If you don’t run Invictus or Virtual Limes for Invictus, this won’t work.
One user reports incompatibility adding it to existing files, so beware if adding it mid campaign.
I don’t know if it’ll work with Reanimata.
It might work with some of Terra-Indomita’s regions, but won’t touch the added areas.
If anyone wants to copy what I did for another VL version, basically you just need to look at the scripted triggers of your relevant Virtual Limes copy and make a new scripted trigger file that includes your desired additional expansion paths in the relevant region/area list for the relevant expansion stage. Feel free to use this mod as a blueprint, just give credit to Zamenis (and I guess myself?).
