Does DEI crash a lot?

[Wagon Wheel]

It does not crash if you have proper install and no mod conflitcs, at least not more often than base game already does.

You can join DeI discord for more help

I used to have DEI installed, was one of my favorite mods, they turn times for me were way to slow, uninstalled and went to Para Bellum, turn times are a lot faster.

I bought R2TW years ago specifically for DEI so I've never played vanilla but I recently in the last week downloaded Para Bellum. DEI is incredibly detailed which makes it more immersive and certain features make it more of a challenge (I love the supply line reforms and population systems) although I find the AI has too many buffs,

On the flip side, I like the idea of Para Bellum with it's increased building costs and greater reliance on food but it has a lot of UI issues, not as many enhancements as DEI and there doesn't seem to be anything limiting the spread of any given faction across the map such as economics, diplomacy, modified AI aggression or restoring native factions (based on faction size, they just tend to either conquer or confederate) which ultimately forces me to constantly be on the offensive attempting to prevent a currently friendly faction from growing into a potential threat later on which prevents me from being able to disband legions/fleets during a period of peace in order to concentrate on building my economy..

Edit: Another thing I like about DEI is that most provinces have 1 extra settlement (often with a unique faction) which adds to the diplomacy and challenge of the game by making progress slower for player and AI..

I will soon release Alternative Campaign submod for DeI that rebalances AI bonuses while also changing player economy. The goal is to have a bit easier start as small faction but stuff will scale with your empire as you grow.

Thanks Man, I'll look out for that.

Indeed background scripts can cause crashes. But.. TW games all have memory allocation problems and that causes crashes. Memory leaks. Better to play and save. End game start up again.. do not play for long periods again do lots of saves. Save before battles and after too.
