Eye of the Vortex Retrofit
• Make sure to load this mod first in the Launcher. As this this is a mod heavily reliant on scripting, it needs to run before all other mods to ensure it works.
• Based of the script from the Old World Campaign mod by proaliahmadr: a huge thanks to them for granting me permission!
• Activation button on Turn 1.
• Disables all factions and regions outside the New World; They cannot be colonised, armies outside the area get movement range penalty, no replenishment, and constant attrition.
If you recall the original Eye of the Vortex map, it was oddly shaped in some areas to account for gameplay and start positions. As I am using the Immortal Empires Map as a basis (and is much more faithful and better designed, in my view), I have made some creative choices to ensure the best possible experience. I have tried to honour the original Eye of the Vortex starts as close as possible and have succeeded in the most part, but there have been some notable changes (most prominently with Queek Headtaker and Grom the Paunch). As always, leave your feedback and suggestions below!
As you might have guessed, there is no Vortex Race/Ritual, nor any narrative campaigns carried over from II. Those will have to be added to WHIII at at later stage by CA.
