Impressment Office is still not there.

Say again. Can't get Homebrew inventions from artifisery events. event homebrew_idea.18 for example

Fixed

The mod removes Impressment Office from the game. Instead of there is placeholder building that does nothing and cannot be build.

thank you for promptly adressing it! i love this mod a lot and the idea groups make anbennar way more engaging personally. good work bro <3

Fixed refund (I hope)

also added to assimilation and nationalism ideas, some free focusing and purging

i`m agree. refunding mp doesn`t works.

Ohh, racial menu is now built on "custom gui", but old way of dealing with it was left in files, that's why I didn't noticed that something THAT importat has changed. I'll check how does it works, maybe I will come up with something interesting for that idea, in exchange for that 2.5 admin eff which was just to partialy refund loss of admin eff from purging

the refund of mana points on selecting a racial interaction in the new racial menu doesn't seem to work for the nationalism ideas 2nd idea. Development does increase when a minority is purged still, but i still had to pay 100 admin points to enact the purge edict/button click/whatever its called.

i was playing Duran Blueshield and was purging the Orcs after getting nationalism's 2nd idea as a meta strat id developed. the only other submod i have is ages reformed for anbennar.

I'll get to Silverdoged tommorow, I mean today, gotta sleep sometimes

Also if there are any compatibility mods for HB, about which I don't know, tell me, I'll add them to the description

Everytime there is an update, im basically checking every thing that homebrew introduced, and that's not even all of them

Update is out. I couldn't test it properly in game (only with console), I will apprecieate feedback after playing for 100 or 150 years, soo:
Does artificer's capacity is doubled from relic with artificery ideas?
Does assimilation idea give proper bonuses from minorities?
Does nationalism idea makes racial interactions free?
Does government ideas (aristo, pluto etc) works properly?
Is racial menu always working?
Does absolutism reduction from court ideas work properly? (and to an extent, superiority of the state gov reform)
Does mercenary ideas feel underpowered?
Does "can create client states" fit as finisher in influence ideas?
Does new decision to show provinces excluded from adjacent fort penalty makes any issues? On top of that, does information provided by that decision, match what's happening in reality? (applying modifiers, and highlighting such provinces are 2 eniterly independent systems so there might be some problems)

Does ramparts, stacked with mage towers and defensive + fortress ideas combo with fort on dwarven hold, with magic fort (as kobold), seems fair? (probably not, but that's peak of engineering)
Is there any problem with advisors?
Are artificer inventions working on tier 2-3 + unique and cultural?
Is there any problems with events regarding migrations?
Are there problems with buildings in general?
(i know that there is some weird interaction with insta building for sailors, with conscription ideas + highseas combo, but I couldn't find out why, Ovdal Tungr game??)
Is there any problem with factions?
I've threw some modifiers around, in mil ideas, regarding forts being too weak, so, is now leaning into defensive ideas even worth (countries with any MT's and defensive bonuses are favoured anyway) on every country, or you can just get offensive and don't think about that?

[*]

I still have to check every file by hand, separately, if I didn't fck up something during taking updates from anbennar, then check ingame if everything HB related works (like, bonus from assimilation ideas, can fck up race menu so it won't work entirely) aaand then, if everything is fine i'll update

we still waiting for update

<3

Tommorow I'll get to it

anscylla my goat please update

Currently not, at least as far as orcs are concerned

This was working more or less fine, as far as I could tell, on the previous Anbennar version, but as of today there is now new Anbennar version. I wonder if it will still be compatible.

If it's not, I suppose one could always download the older Anbennar versions from github manually.

you uploaded .git folder together with the mod, I'd recommend to remove it, save 6 mb of disc space for everyone

will this mod get be made compatible to the upcoming main mod update when it is released?

Love the mod by the way. I remember Trying to make the old mod this is based on compatible before you mad this one... Huge respect for actually being able to make it work.

update it pls

Does this mod break the mage heir event? I had two mage heirs and neither of them actually became mages!

Hi Anscylla, I am a huge fan of the HB submod and I want to congratulate you on the military changes, I liked some and other not too much but that is fine. But there is a huge issue with playing defensive now, the AI can easly doom stack artillary( I dont know why, but they do) and there is a lot of bonus of art vs fort in the ideas. I was playing as dwarfs with fort, serpentspine and defensive ideas, and my forts where made of paper. I know you dont have the time with your studies, but something has to be balanced here.

And another thing... is it possible to make a variant submod that has the old HB ideas?

Thank you my friend, and have a good one.

I can just add a decision which will highlight provinces with exceptions. I won't make it toggleable because defensive buildings are balanced to favour at least some degree of planing how to maximize your provinces (salt,holds or literally any modifier which just makes certain province just better location for a fort, for example) and just to discourage fort spam

also @BalkanMontero
I have no such problems, make sure You don't run incompatible mods and Your EU4 install is OK

Please if possible add either a map mode that shows valid fort provinces or just a startup option to disable the fort limiter entirely. Figuring out what provinces are exceptions from it and what aren't is annoying.

what on earth

oh no, lizard apocalypse, again

Oh yeah and are there supposed to be Lizard minorites in every province across the world? and whats with the mechanims?

Lich kings keep arising in every country after every reload and when your ruler dies a lich becomes king. Do i go back a patch or 2?

Ohhh okay. Thx. Glad everything works as intended.

Yeah, shock and fire are unlocked at mil tech 7. War production at mil 11. Artificery at mil 14 with artificers estate. Colonial empire at dip 13. Industrial at adm 11 with artificers estate

I might be talking outta my ass here, but I don't remember seeing them right from the start, so I reckon they come with a tech level requirement - they're kinda bad at best in early game anyway, at least Fire ideas certainly are.

Somehow Fire and Shock Ideas are not being shown eventhough they show up as having potential policies. In total I have 13 military/adm/Diplo Idea Groups available. Is that supposed to be like this? I only have Anbennar and Homebrew running.

@anscylla thanks

I can try to add some more logic to every idea / borrow something from xorme, but it will take some time to update since I can't spend as much time as I would like to code, sadly
(trying to not be kicked out of uni, again)

There would be needed compatibility patch, since xorme modifies values for AI, which are inside vanilla files etc

idk how to post screenshot but it supposed to give (+20% National manpower modifier -5% Discipline) all of the Quantity inno ideas vanila ones stays same if you use xorme - ai idk if they can fix that or i should ask the xorme - ai maker

It wasn't supposed to be like that?!

cant play with xorme - ai makes it idea go back to normal
(example ideas like Quantity gives +33% National manpower modifier)

It's probably dependent more or less on overall balance of buildings / AI's economy. Since all builidings have higher cost, AI might decide that it's better to spend their money on advisors or gather money for them, instead of spending it full on army. I didn't notice nothing out of the ordinary, like yes, bigger, wealthier nations will of course have more resources for bigger army, and smaller nations with tighter budget will focus on something else butt, there are some hidden modifiers for AI (like cheaper ideas etc) to help them with that so I can't tell that situations like that (deleting armies entirely) can't happen, because of course there is difference between nations in richer trade nodes in cannor, post 1500 serpentspine and poor desert of bulwar.

tldr: too many variables to be exactly sure why, but the longer the game goes, the richer provinces are, the more nations can spend on army

Does this mod affect the ai's willingness to field armies? I notice some nations have armies almost filled to the limit while others lowball like crazy or even get rid of them all together.

Weird, since they should be available since the beginning because there is no requirement set for it, nor any blockade for it in files

Alright so Ive now gone through the text files, tested multiple countries, and even had a friend act as a control to confirm that they had access to it when I didnt. What are the criteria for having access to Infrastructure Ideas? My friend has access to it at Tech 8 as Reveria by 1490. The text files show no requirement but that it is an AIG idea group, meaning there is some unspecified requirement for it. Can anyone give me the actual answer for access the idea group?

Ah dammit, I was using Doge's ideas as well. Thanks for pointing that out, guess I'll try dropping them

If you are using both homebrew and doge ideas, that's why. They are based both on Idea Variation so game doesn't crash, but it can't handle more than 7 ideas but in this scenario, game merges them together

Meanwhile I've just came back home aaand I'll tommorow get to work

Are you playing with any other mods aswell?

All the new idea groups seems to have ~14 ideas in them, and in some of them (fo example Fire ideas) 8-14 are exactly the same as 1-7 are and I cannot buy the 8th. I mean I can click on the icon and it asks me whether I want to really spend that mil mana on it, but when I confirm, nothing happens and the mana isn't spent. As such, the Fire ideas group is stuck halfway complete and I never seem to receive the finisher bonus.
Is that working as intended?
