Sudenburg becomes a Great Power? Wat?

[Major Moolah]

So I am playing as Khalida for the first time and in the Vortex campaign to boot. For some reason Sudenburg has become the dominant power over in Nehekhara and control 13 regions at the moment. They are warring against Settra and winning too, taking over the Black Pyramid in fact! I think this is the first time I have seen some very minor random faction get this kind of success so I have to ask I have borked my game somehow or if anyone here has seen something like this in their campaigns.

Are you running any mods? I've never seen that happen but it sounds awesome.

Only comparable thing is if you use the Randomizer, which flattens the initial power curve, the Savage Orc tribes can quickly take over the world and get like 60 settlements.

One of those alternate realities where settra is perishable!!

Good. For the first time in the history of the game, something challenges the tomb kings dominance in the south :D. Screenshot this rarirty

May be that's why they introduced them to ME as well :P

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1559630682 There you go, I am kind of surprised someone actually believed me. I am not using anything that should do this. The only mods that really affect gameplay are the unofficial Bugfix Mod and Advanced AI. All those cosmetic mods or minor features, like Better Behaved Allies, are for other things.
