Using this mod, 70 turns in and two looter armies spawned in the North East provinces and I abandoned my game. I use other mods so its possible they conflicted, but i don't want to play another 70 turn game just to test it on its own.

works

Can anyone using this mod confirm that it actually works??

as mentioned on the description, i loaded the mod before starting the game and loaded my save file and played for 5 turns to test it out. Looters are spawning as usual no difference whatsoever. i get 4-5 looter army spawning in my territory.

Also tried the new campaign with the mod. first 5-10 turns no spawns but as soon as i overtook a faction and my territory grew bigger, same old looter spawns.

I get 3-4 spawns each turn with the new campaign with mod turned on. I left the looters to see if they they go away eventually for like 4 turns and WALLLA i had like 12 looter army in my territory......

Im pretty new to the game so i dont have any other mods installed except this. Do i need to install something in addition?

Legit this looter spawn is turning me off from playing the game.. like wth? what were the devs even thinking?

I wish there was a more in depth solution to this, maybe relating to happiness or population, but the current system is fucked. I have a pop of 2 million and I get fucked. I appreciate this mod, but the main game shouldn't make me download this lol

@Boogra You click on the subscribe button and then when launching the game open the mod manager and make sure the mod is checked on.

Yeah the looters council option is dumb and only exists to annoy the player. You can use it again the AI but it doesnt really have much effect nor do they seem to care.

[Noob Alert] Can you tell me, like I'm five, how to install this mod, as in what exactly to do here? I was having a blast until the Looters began to spawn. What kind of gaming company would do such a thing? It seems almost malicious. I don't think I know how to install this mod at all. Thanks very much in advance, JX.

2023,,Works fine for me. If it wasn't for the great work done by the modding community this game would be on the trash pile. With mods its a great game. Thank you for this mod.

@Ironside12 the 'mode' is generally unstable,, so playing new games is naturally a priority. sir
JX83  [author] Jul 17, 2023 @ 4:56pm 
@Ironside12 Do you have any conflicting mods in your campaign?
Ironside12 Jul 17, 2023 @ 4:43pm 
Doesn't work. Enabled it mid- campaign and a few turns later had a stack spawn. Stupid mechanic but it must require a new campaign to work?
McdoRonaldo Jul 11, 2023 @ 7:57am 
still work

Thanks for the info.

Hi guys,

I don't know if this is compatible with TROM and if it is not, I do not have plans to create a compatible version.

As for reversing it to create more looters all over the place, it would be quite difficult.
Oniichan Dec 30, 2022 @ 8:54am 
Is there any way to reserve this instead? Like more looters and banditry chaos all over?
아빠와나 Oct 29, 2022 @ 8:30pm 
would you kindly make this mod can work with TROM?
LemurKing Oct 14, 2022 @ 2:48pm 
Any chance this works with TROM? Understand if you don't know.
The Holy Sandwich of Jersey Sep 8, 2022 @ 1:27pm 
thank God this exists, they are a total Turn off for anyone even imagining playing as Shi Xie who was too awesome to have a bandit problem that frequently
JX83  [author] Jun 4, 2022 @ 8:01am 
Cheers, glad you're enjoying the mod.
verum.amo Jun 1, 2022 @ 1:19am 
That did it. I feel like a big dummy. Thank you so much. 10/10 mod. 10/10 service.
JX83  [author] May 31, 2022 @ 5:58pm 
In the TW game launcher, is the mod enabled in the mod manager?
verum.amo May 31, 2022 @ 12:07am 
I just hit subscribe...I was just looking for the overwritten file to see if I could find evidence that the system registered a change to the file (date modified sort of thing) since it doesn't appear to be working. I'm still getting overpowering looter stacks popping out of nowhere.
JX83  [author] May 30, 2022 @ 5:44pm 
@verum.amo It overrides an existing CA script. Since this is meant to override that script, if it's named differently, it won't work. In your case, if you copied and pasted the script into test_script_here.lua, it won't work at all because the game will view it as an additional script to run, rather than viewing it as a replacement for an existing script.
verum.amo May 30, 2022 @ 11:34am 
For some reason, I'm still getting looters. Is it possible that something is stopping the lua script from being used?

This was in my lua_mod_log.txt file: Failed to load mod: [script\_lib\mod\test_script_here.lua]

Where is the lua script supposed to run from? I checked the CA script folder in AppData\Roaming and there wasn't any script there.

Oh my GOD thank you, campain was getting fucking anoying.

This is my favorite TW game in the franchise....after mods. Without mods? I waited 2 years to even buy this game. I can't think of a more garbage iteration of a vanilla TW war then this title. Maybe thrones lol...

not all heros wear capes thank you
JX83  [author] Jan 29, 2022 @ 8:36am 
Glad you're enjoying it, cheers!
Alvazia Jan 29, 2022 @ 7:17am 
This still works I can confirm it as Dong Zhuo main I'm very happy about it thanks a lot!
JX83  [author] Jan 27, 2022 @ 8:09pm 
@Popololo You shouldn't.
Popololo Jan 27, 2022 @ 8:03pm 
Will I be seeing any more looters playing Ma Teng again?
JX83  [author] Dec 11, 2021 @ 6:26am 
@Alvazia this was created after the last patch so it should work. However some users have reported that it doesn't work. Through my own testing I've never seen looters spawn so I'm uncertain as to why it's not working on their systems.
Alvazia Dec 10, 2021 @ 10:04pm 
does this still works?
Schankks Oct 12, 2021 @ 8:04am 
@JX83, no rebellion, did not load a game during the AI's turn, even Han Sui had them too so for whatever reason they are still in the game with the mod enabled.
JX83  [author] Oct 12, 2021 @ 7:45am 
@Schankks It's not a rebellion from -100 public order is it?
The other possibility I can think of is that you loaded a game during the AI's turn.
If it's not one of those, I honestly don't know.
Schankks Sep 28, 2021 @ 8:46am 
@JX83 Tried it with no other mods subscribed. Looters still spawned :(
JX83  [author] Sep 27, 2021 @ 4:43pm 
@Schankks Are you using any other mods?
Schankks Sep 26, 2021 @ 11:49pm 
Booted up a campaign with this mod, didn't work at all, looters kept spawning when playing as Ma Teng.
Nagaterbang Sep 22, 2021 @ 7:30am 
Thank you for fixing this awfully lazy mechanic
Prkl8r Jul 28, 2021 @ 8:34pm 
Is this MP compatible? I know some script mods are not.
JimmyTheSnake Jul 14, 2021 @ 7:16pm 
Such a ridiculous feature. Thanks for the mod.
JX83  [author] Jun 30, 2021 @ 7:48pm 
I took another look at the script and there isn't an already built in way to add cool downs to these events. That means I would need to write that from scratch which I'm certain would introduce a lot of bugs.
outcrowd1 Jun 29, 2021 @ 12:48pm 
It would be wonderful if there was a way to put a cooldown on this instead of disabling it entirely, or make it much more expensive, but since this is save game compatible I'll try just disabling it every few turns to give myself a breather. 1-3 looter full stacks of elite troops spawning every single turn is just ridiculous and annoying. Thanks!
JX83  [author] Jun 6, 2021 @ 8:01pm 
That's beyond my current modding ability.
Total Warlord Jun 6, 2021 @ 4:53pm 
Can you make a mod where looters will spawn with only Qiang , Xiognu or Xianbei Units that would be great.
Salamarder Jun 6, 2021 @ 10:46am 
awesome
