Empire confederation has been tied to the allegiance system for quite a long time. This will not affect that, only the diplomatic considerations of the AI. There are no "events".

I don't believe this is working- both Gelt and Elspeth campaigns did not trigger the event when Karl etc factions were deleted (and it def did in the past).

No issues this patch.

"Noblman, swerve." O M A G

Awesome mod, kudos.

mm i see, well great mod reguardless :)

Negative.

The mechanism behind the bonus is defined by an unexposed section of the CAI's decision tree which evaluates faction strength against enemies. By observation, the modifier is already more likely to come into play the less territory a faction has. However, lack of territory correlates with lack of military strength, so it may not be causative.

Also bear in mind that the CAI's Skaven diplomatic "personalities" tend to be rather agreeable with high relations.

i just barely met clan rictus and they had 8 territories but no army and i could still confederate them with a +50 rating, idk if that qualifies as "near death" lol, is there a way to include how many settlements they have into this mod? i kinda dont want an entire empire with no armies to be confederated to my enemies

This mod does not change confederation mechanics, only the AI profies. The Empire, in vanilla, does not confederate normally, but through the acquisition of pooled resources.

Of course, I'll know... and then what other factions can't create confederations with this mod?

Empire doesnt use normal confederation mechanics. No amount of updates will change that.

Hi, you can update the mod, it doesn't work... for the empire at least.

Since those are custom factions, they might be using an AI personality profile that is not intended for normal use. There is at least one that simply accepts all diplomatic terms. Dunno, I'd have to look at Mixu's factions, but that's not like to happen soon.

Hey Jon!
I've noticed when using this that I can confed with factions on turn 1, you know those minor factions that come from Mixu's mods and the sort?
While it's useful for some people, I'm just wondering if there's any way that can stop that from happening at all?

A 4.0 update for this mod would be amazing! Regardless, thank you for the work! None of the high elves want to confederate with Alarielle, and it's super annoying.

4.0???

Works perfectly with Radious and any major mod as long as is at the TOP of loading order.

Depends on whether it messes with AI deal weighting or not.

How well does this work with Radious? Would a patch be necessary?

Does this only apply to the player's race? Or will it save other AI factions from completely disappearing?

Well, the new deal evaluation groups were added nearly a week ago now, so...

it's CA of course the dam AI will be tweaked to stop working with mods.

Not unless the AI personalities were renamed or their references juggled around. Will know for sure on the morrow.

Given the massive changes made in 3.0, does this need an update?

Wow, didn't even read the first message you could see when posting. Congrats.

Doesn't need one.

Update ?

Far more likely than not.

does this work in 2.4?

Considering it directly alter's the AI, yes.

does this work in multiplayer?

whoa that was fast, Thanks buddy!

Yes.

does it still work?

It works.
Attacking factions and expecting them to confederate with you is kind of silly.

I don't see any difference, not the slightest bonus, I tried like that.

With Bordeleau, I attacked the last city of Response, no confederation available in the diplomacy, I took it, still nothing.

Do you know of one that really works?

Table updated to new schema.
Vanilla weightings for confederation deals was largely unchanged, so the purpose of the mod remains the same.

I'll know once I have an updated version of data.pak....whenever steam feels like writing that to disk.

i think the 2.2 update has "borrowed" your mod

Considering it's a change to the AI diplomacy decision trees, yes.

Do both of the features also affect confederations between AI factions?

Will this mod work for high elve faction like Alith Anar?

what were they thinking nerfing last stand
made me quit a 89 turn campaign

Of course.

Do this mod work in I.E. map?

Keep up the good work king

What do you mean by "death's door"?

Do that mean you directly attack them and destroy their faction and force confederation?

Well done, liked and awarded.

thanks for the mod

Sometimes. The last stand bonus is high enough that it can technically overcome even the bitter enemies penalty in most cases, but you also have other factors to consider, notably the random variable.

Let's say a faction I want to confederate is on death's door... and I'm the one who put them there, will they still accept?
