Successor Wars - Para Bellum - Compatibility Patch

Description
This makes the Successor Wars mod compatible with the series of Para Bellum mods. Keep in mind all of the Para Bellum mods are optional here, but they do require the patch to play with them.

INSTALLATION ORDER
The mods should be placed in the following order with Para Bellum:

1. Armies, recruitment & garrisons
2. Better Campaign AI
3. Better Sieges
4. Edicts
5. Seasonal conditions
6. Para Bellum - Combat
7. Successor Wars - Para Bellum - Compatibility Patch
8. Successor Wars - Part 1
9. Successor Wars - Part 2
10. Successor Wars - Part 3
11. Para Bellum - Effects*
12. Para Bellum - Interface
13. Para Bellum - Population
14. Para Bellum - Units
15. Para Bellum - Units II
16. Para Bellum - Units III
17. Para Bellum - Weather

(See the Required Items section on the right if still confused)

NOTE ABOUT PB EFFECTS
Para Bellum - Effects requires to choose and download one of the movie file type files at:
-> https://1drv.ms/f/s!AkxsjR9oKKNhhboC1_0QSo1WsnVXQg?e=ceYtHc

Para Bellum - Effects movie.pack <- This includes blood, dust, fire and smoke effects
Para Bellum - Effects Lite movie.pack <- This one only blood effects (less GPU intensive)

Following the download, you must place the file in the game data folder (located at: \Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II\data) then activate the Movie type mods in Rome 2's main menu (click on Options-> Mods)
This way it loads the effects correctly but also doesn't interfere with other effects mods and movie files in data folder. So this requires you to unsubscribe + delete movie files from the data folder to avoid any conflicts.

Also it's recommended to set the terrain quality to Very High/Ultra to prevent blood stains to disappear from the ground.

IMPORTANT
Do NOT use Para Bellum Collection with Successor Wars, as it will crash your campaign a few turns in. But the mods listed above are basically the equivalent of PB Collection.

@zafeirios I very much appreciate it, hopefully it continues to work smoothly!

@Pontifex, thank you for your response. It seems that the particular campaign had some issues. I started a new campaign and I am at turn 17 and it seems that I don't experience any crashes. I hope that it will stay this way, because your mod is amazing. I can't wait to see the new updates.

@zafeirios There's hundreds of factors. In most cases it's because of the load order or if you're using other mods. So check that thoroughly that it's right

Hello @Pontifex, the game crashes after some turns, why this keeps happening?

so when i was downloading i subscribed to all cause it needs everything that downloaded para bellum campaign and factions is it supposed to do that cause i cant play para bellum campaign

@AveMetal thanks for your answer, i can understand it, so i really found a good solution for this, by combiing Para Bellum with a "decisive battle" mod. So at least, the ai needs 4 turns to recruit new units, this helps :steamthumbsup:
AveMetal  [author] Jan 21 @ 12:54pm 
@kuonenjerome basically because ai is stupid managing budget, and adding upkeep limits the army compositions and quality of the units, they won't purchase good and elite units, only low tier. What determines the number of armies is the fame table, imho is not so difficult at the beginning if you take advantage of your stronholds and play strategically but is balanced this way taking into account medium and late campaign when is very easy to steamroll and become boring.

@Pontifex You were right I had the order wrong.
