Total Conquest v2.2 Lite

[Cheexsta]

Barring any major bugs, this will be the last version of TCM for a while. I've decided to stop jumping between projects and getting nothing done; instead I hope to concentrate on single projects for a while and actually release them Unfortunately, I did have grander plans for this release, but very few of them ended up working properly, so this will have to do.

Total Conquest v2.2 Lite for Vae Victis 2.32 Official Patch

Download Here​

Features:

• Increases the maximum province limit for annexations to 12 (from 2 in vanilla).
• Introduces a mechanic where controlling all of a country's provinces will make them much easier to take in a peace settlement. This makes it possible to force countries like Carthage or the Seleucid Empire to cede more than a small handful of provinces even when you have 100% warscore.
• Provinces overrun by rebels have a chance of defecting to a neighbouring country.
• Introduces the ability to diplomatically annex tributaries, a feature present in EU3 but not EUR. This can be done through the Decisions window if you have an ally who is paying tribute.
• Introduces the ability to release nations that don't exist but have cores on your provinces (again, like EU3). This can be done through the Decisions window while at peace.

Changelog
===========
TCM2.2 Lite
===========
- Compatible with 2.32 Official Patch.
- Added a modifier to stop civilisation spread while at war (to stop the 'turbo civving' effect of provinces after the 'Vae Victis' efent).
- Added a modifier that reduces civilisation spread for Barbarian provinces.
- Changed the 'Vae Victis' event to only fire for countries that have fewer than 6 provinces.
- Made some changes to the diploannexation decision that *should* prevent the 'crazy decisions' bug (couldn't seem to reproduce the bug consistently with 2.32 beta patch). Also fixed some localisations issues.
- Introduced army mutiny event sequence.

Good work my friend!

I was looking over you stuff and found something that might be the reason for the 'crazy decisions' bug you mention.

The ally scope only works with one ally at a time so if you have two or more allies which fulfil the requirements of the limit it will blink like crazy while switching back and fort between them.

I circumvent this problem by giving each ally/tributary a unique flag but since you already use all country tags in some of you other stuff you could just make a unique decision for each tag and that should fix the problem as well.

 

[Cheexsta]

Thanks Y, that does make sense. I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with

Back to the drawing board!

Edit: looks like this version does actually fix the issue. I'm playing an Epigoni campaign with the updated TCM files with two tributary allies (Athens and Achaean League) and the decision shows up correctly:

Shown is the tooltip for the Diploannex decision triggers. Of course, it will only apply to a single vassal at a time (in this case, Athens - possibly since they were the first to become vassals). One day I might make a diploannex decision for individual tags, but for now this will do.

Edit 2: seems like I made the image too small. Hopefully you get the idea

 

[Hardradi]

Yes, that is definately the problem. I have seen a similar issue where the Censor title re-election time was in the title and in the common folder. This caused the Censor to blink madly becuase it was picking it up twice (this was Cursus Honorum).

The army mutiny event looks great.

Diploannex decision gone!

Cheexsta;

I am playing Lofmans mod and your tcm 2.2 lite combined.
Running vv 2.3.2 and Lofmans mod is 1.8b.
Everything was working fine. I diplomatically annexed Lucania and later Massillia. I now have 8 allies, 7 of which are paying me tribute, but now the diploannex decision no longer appears!
Is there a limit to the number of vassals you can have beyond which the decision does not trigger?

I really like expanding this way and would like a resolution.
I have Egypt as a vassal.

edit 1:
Went back to TCM 2.1 Lite and changed tcm_diploannex.txt in the decisions folder so that num_of_allies = 10
and num_of_cities = 25. Was able to diplomatically annex Egypt with 23 provinces!! But now my infamy is 23.8.
Plus 1 infamy for each province! Ouch!!!!!!!!

edit 2:
Well, it looks like my joy was short lived! It only worked the once and then the spastic decision bug started again.

 

[Cheexsta]

Yes, the decision no longer works if you have more than one or two tributaries as allies. Just break some of the alliances until you have only one vassal as an ally, diploannex them and then re-ally with another vassal you want to annex.

And yes, the infamy penalty can get huge! I might add a small tweak that decreases the chances of larger allies accepting annexation.

Diploannex Bug

Thanks Cheexsta for the reply, but...

you wrote:

In my current game Croton and Mamertines are my vassals. Since Mamertines has both Messana and Rhegion, I disolved the alliance with Croton. Now the diploannex decision does not show up at all!!

 

[OberGeneral]

Still no joy! Is no one monitoring this thread anymore?
I would like to know how to get the province asking for help (after they have been held by "REB" for 90 days
ported over to EU3 HttT.

 

[OberGeneral]

It is in EU3 as I discovered.

Also I have fixed diplo_annex. I have PM'd Cheexsta the fix.

I have num_of_allies and num_of_vassals set to 2 and the largest nation you can diplo_annex set to 17!!!!
Watch that infamy! BTW if you ally another nation after 2 the decision goes spastic, just as before, so you must keep nations that are paying tribute
and are allied to one or two, then it always works.

Cheexsta said he may release a hotfix after he has tested it.

I really need to check this subforum more often

Sorry, I've been too engrossed in Mount & Blade to play EUR lately, but I'll be sure to make some time for it this weekend!
