hi, i can't seem to find a menu anywhere

My mod would overwrite most official difficulty settings.

what r differences between this mod and most official difficulty options? Does this mod work with most official difficulty？

Great news the game will have official difficulty options very soon

As for compability sure it would be possibible, i wont stop anyone from making a compability patch. Im too lazy to make that happen and keep updating it tho :P

just for future references, this mod should work with new game updates , just ignore the mod is outdated message

is it possible to make this mod compatible with the More Game Rules mod? It seems to overwrite your difficulty settings.

Updated the mod, again if you hve issues with my mod not updating resub to it will fix it

A big thanks to all the new subscribers , ive noticed a big spike recently. It is nice that there still seems to be a need for this mod to exist. It also gives me the incentive to keep updating the mod for future updates.

I put out an update, if it doesnt auto load, unsubscribe and subscribe again, that will fix it!

i already made a list on things i probably have to adjust in my ck 3 mod: Extreme Difficulty Mod on steam

new sheme modifieres
new lifestyle traits
admin realm stuff for ai
landless play balance for ai

i think thats about it for now , i will update my mod as fast as possible as always, enjoy and have a great time!

Im glad it gave you the experience you where looking for!

Thanks! This mod is awesome!

reduced build cost and speed to 5/10/15%
reduced lifestyle trait xp gain bonus to 40/60/80%
reduced accolade glory gain to 40/60/80%

added legitimacy gain bonus 40/60/80%
added court grandeur baseline 5/10/15
added scheme secrecy 5/10/15
added county opinion bonus of 5/10/20
added monthly county control growth 0.4/0.6/0.8

Alright so i do have some ideas, like making it easier for the ai to gain legitimacy. Ill need to check if i thats possible with modifiers. I will give it a look. Any other suggestions ?

Last update for now. Hopefully X)
-AI war cooldown reduced by %25/50/75 yet again. This does not mean the ai will declare wars. Just opens the possibility for it.

- AI war chance increased by % 5/10/10

- Vassal Opinion changed to Direct Vassals Opinion, Value Changed to 15/20/25 from 10/15/25
- removed not working winter supply modifier
- reintroduced Vassal Levy contribution % 10/10/15

I have updated again to make sure all life style traits increase properly for the ai

Major Update with tons of changes, read the changelog for information on all the changes!

Could you please update it to the latest version?

were almost at 500 combined subs through both mods, THANK YOU GUYS <3

Hey everyone, the ai only version is online again!

still under review, kinda annoyed at this point, but fine, just stay with me guys, one day i can update my only ai version. trust

my other version should work too but its still under review for some reason

Quick update: Version bump to 1.9 and you can now earn achievements while using the higher difficulty settings! Enjoy :)

Great mod, I like your approach to buff AI instead of debuffing player.

Update: Adjusted very hard and extremely hard difficulties to be slightly less rediculous
- reduced ai vassal contribution for taxes and levies on extremely hard to very hard level
- reduces tax income bonus on extremely hard to very hard level
- reduced most bonuses on very hard and extremely hard slightly
- vassal opinion and realm priest opinion reduced

- adjusted player penalties for court grandeur and personal sheme power penalty

Highly Recommended Mod:
Unofficial fixes https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2871648329

UPDATE
new player penalties:

- stress gain increased by 10, 20, 30 % (based on difficulty)
- court grandeur baseline reduced by 3, 5, 10 (based on difficulty)

small update:

Added icon to show 'not achievement compatible' when setting game rules

Made it so that if you first start up this mod the default difficulty setting is set to hard automatially

mod has been updated to Bastion 1.7*
- removed the plot armor changes to be more compatible with further base game updates.

The mod should work with future updates even if it says it is outdated !

I have yet to try your mod, but I will on my next play trough, since it seems like the hardest one out there!

I have to remark, from a mathematical standpoint increasing and decreasing with 80% seems a bit asymmetrical. An 80% increase is to multiply with 1.8, while to decrease with 80% is to divide by 5. I would intuitively think that the game's native mechanics would be better preserved by a more proportional take. For example you could both multiply and divide by 2 (in other words a 100% increase and 50% decrease).

I hope this makes sense to you and that you are not offended from me commenting before actually trying the mod.

Would it be possible to mod in that the player is also affected by the dread an AI character spreads? Giving the AI more dread is good for them, sure - but the effect is unnecessary limited in my eyes, as long as the player directly evades its effect.

yeah had that issue was at war and 80 people declared I was like oh shit Im fucked

Update: Removed the player plot armor "Don't gang up on players" wich allows multiple ai to try and murder a player at once.

sounds good, thanks

Hard is supposed to be like very hard mode in eu4 , very hard is probably limit your alot and extremely hard is like hell mode where you need alliances and stuff to even do something

it it even possible to play on very hard or exxtreme

Update: fixed ai scheme bonuses to actually work and increased ai hostile scheme chances
increased ai realm priest opinion
increased ai piety gain
increased men at arms on extreme, increased vassal limit on hard

Update: Opinion changes mostly. Removed: long and short reign bonuses.
changed general opion to opinion of vassals but buffed the amount.

Mod updated for 1.6 Iberia update

awesome looks great

I made some major changes again to try and bring the game to life, i got rid of the ai personality changes, made top lieges have more taxes and levies and adjusted alot of modifiers. Embarkment cost for ai has been reduced. There is less money overall but more for top lieges now. Same for levies.

i buffed the amount of men at arms the ai can have significant

It would be neat to see the option to reduce player levies but it would be even cooler to see a massive increase to the number of men at arms the ai could have because I always see the ai with a massive income and nothing spend it on.

Seems like the players vassals are also buffed with bonus levy not only the enemy and their vassals. This is sad. Can u fix it?

nice loved that CK2 had a grind and difficulty to it but it was well worth the struggle but now CK3 is easy mode and I get board

@BlackLuck thank you for the feedback, im currently trying to play witth more ai values.Im also changing levy and tax bonuses to ai ruler only vassal contribution buffs to make it even less easy for a player to gain something from the ai buffs in their own realms. that said i apreacate the feedback alot. This new update might be pushed later today.

@DestinyCallsYou thank you for your work on this - it is good. I went much deeper in a game without steamrollering, and yes, I used this one that affects the player.
