Party Party Party (Party Affiliation Tweak)

Description
All IGs, by default, now prefer joining a party if it is at all possible. IGs will only remain independent if they somehow dislike every option available


Recommended Mods:

Observations on balance:
Because the "government of size" factor treats each party as a single unit, and the penalty goes -0/-20/-60, it's very easy to max out or nearly max out your legitimacy as a democracy with this tweak enabled,

however, if you do include everyone, a few laws you'd like to pass would probably have a higher stall rate, as those that are in your government can stall any laws they don't like. Might be worth it still to include everyone for the enactment rate, but you can play it safe too by picking less parties.

Nov 2 update: attempted to fix Andrew Jackson showing up in the wrong party

So an issue my friend had with brazil is literally all factions went into the same party so he couldn't do anything governmental.

this will be difficult because far as i know the names are not dynamic, but rather defined in the files always

I would like that.

I suppose I could make another mod that makes the criteria for an IG being "powerful" stricter. If I set this threshold at 25% that should do it.

Do you think you'd want to use such a mod? @ftsces?

So I tested this a few more times.

The reason why at game start, america occasionally has a free trade party, among other things, is that the Industrialist IG is powerful.

It makes sense that if an IG is powerful, then they would go their own way.

And this doesn't always happen, sometimes the Industrialist IG is not as popular.

Notably, if vandy has a really good trait, he will lead the Industrial IG to breakaway from the whigs.

So when it happens you are basically playing an alt history game where vandy decided to go against Clay's designs. Because in that timeline he is not just a tycoon, but also a political operator.
