Nice

aw man, this looks really promising. Cant find other mods that do this. Please recommend here if you find other mods

What was your first clue? The fact that if you download it says outdated, the fact that it was last updated June 1st of 2016, or the fact that the two comments directly before yours addressed that?

Is this outdated

No. Would require some pretty heavy edits.

is this still playable? i mean does it still work after all this time without a update?

Great idea. Unfortunately I'm getting underscore_txt bug playing localized. Would it be possible to simply copy/paste English expression for all other localizations?

Hay Like-A-Stone, here are some suggestions for types of governments to add.
Corporatocracy (Jennifer Government) (Corps Of Engineers, Orbital Privatization)
Constitutional Monarchy
Theocratic Republic (Iran)
Theocratic Absolute Monarchy (Saudi Arabia)
Singapore-Style Democracy (Guided Democracy) (These are the weird hybrid blend of traits in order to have this type of government since this is the only country i can think of that is as close as you can get to having the best of both worlds without any of the flaws. Authoritarian. Not Fanatic Authoritarian, Fanatic Authoritarians would never allow the slimmer of plurality that Singapore allows, Materialist, Egalitarian.)
Oligarchic Republic (Republic Of Rome, Republic Of Carthage, America)

Hey! First of all, love the concept of your mod, but I have a couple of questions.

First all - save game compability? or is it only on galaxy generation?

Secondly - I'm looking forward to my crown princess succeding in establishing her shadow council within my empire in a few years, Would probably make for a really cool mod if i bothered writing in the console commands you need to pull off to accomplish it.

(if anyone wonders, i've added a hidden monthly influence leech (through random event text box) which when it reaches 250 reforms your government randomly (beyond ethic restrictions even) and either adds the heir to the rulers traits (they co-operate) or outright succeeds him)

If possible, I'd love to work together with you on this. I have the concept, the "story", and all text boxes already done, but no "real modding" so to say.

Well I mean, did you expect anything else? It hasn't been updated in almost a year now. I could fork an 'update' for it again since this mod works by just overwriting the existing policies, but given that Stone has been silent on the matter I still feel pretty bad about doing it.

BUG Currently overwrites the new empire-wide policies. Unable to change food stockpiling or refugee status (for example) with this mod enabled.

Update pls ! :D

Really liked this mod. I'd be nice if you updated to 1.5.1

Any news?

Zandor, 1.3 saw the mod directory moved from the previous location to a new one: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\281990 on Windows 7. The steps should (mostly) sitll be the same, just with that new filepath. However, the update also made several changes to other policies, which I've updated on an internal version that I myself use, but I'm still waiting for Stone's permission before I do anything with it.

@Ev Hmm.. Ihave tryed the fix but its not working... still only economy-changes. But evrything is fine, if I deactivate Stones Expansion. So I think its deffinetly this mod. I did evrything like you sayed and checked more then twice... is the fix still working?

I could probably update this again, with Stone's permission.

Update Please

hey man whats the current situation on the update?

Thanks EV

If you haven't seen it already, I posted a temporary fix for war policy on the previous page. I dunno what's been going on with Stone but it should work in the meanwhile.

Any word on the update, yet?

@Like_A_Stone Get well soon bro!

@Ev: the trick is to have a governor other than your homeworld gov which the game doesn't count for heir purposes. Didn't even need to change it :).

Glad to hear you're doing better, Stone. Sorry to the rest of you that I wasn't able to find a satisfactory fix for the communist gov't type, but I'm glad I was able to help some 28 of you with being able to actually fight wars again.

@Like_A_Stone what do you study?

My apologies, I'll have the updaet out on Sunday. I've had a health issue and grad school work, but I will push the update Sunday. Thanks for your patience!

Please update this soon.

when will it update?

Maybe I'll try to allow generals as well.

It seems to happen when leaders are generated for elections from leader_class = ruler. I tested it with a different government type that uses the same kind of elections, and the moment I killed off all of my empire leaders, the newly generated ones had no traits. Communist dictatorships don't elect any leaders from a class other than leader_class = ruler, so I suppose it makes sense that the ones generated for the election have no traits. I have no idea how I'd go about fixing it, but I might meddle with some things. Worst case scenario maybe I'll modify the gov't type so that other leaders can be elected instead of leader_class = ruler.

@JurisDocta @Ev I do not have that bug, but I know others do. P.S. Thanks Ev

@Ev, any fixes for Ruler traits not showing up (On Communist Successors)?

I have no idea why Steam has decided those filepaths are websites. They are not websites, they are filepaths. Hopefully Stone recovers from his ailments soon, but that should tide you over in the meantime.

Here's a quick temporary fix in lieu of an update. I make no promises that it'll perform to expectations, but at the very least you should be able to properly declare war again.

1) Go to your Stone Politics installation folder, which should be something like Stellaris\workshop\content\281990\690755908

2) Open up stone_politics.zip with 7zip (you can probably do it with other programs too, but I personally use 7zip)

3) Navigate to stone_politics.zip/common/policies/ and delete 00_policies.txt (Keep the program open)

4) Create a new text file with the same name (00_policies) and copy the contents of this paste data into it: http://pastebin.com/wE1zqFJ3

5) Save it as a txt file, and place the file in stone_politics.zip/common/policies/

6) Enable the mod in your launcher and play the game

NOTE: This replaces War Economy as per Asimov with the war policy. It -should- work with existing Asimov savegames, but it might take a few ingame days for the change to register.

I assumed that it might not be save-game compatible because in my experience (admittedly, the vast majority of my modded gaming has been on Skyrim), adopting and/or removing mods mid play can be a really bad idea---and after I got the War Economy thing, removing the mod didn't fix my save game, so I had to re-roll. That's why I assumed.

@jr1125a It was supposed to come out yesterday, but it was delayed. It updates on it's own. And why do people keep considering that it's not save-game compatible? He also probably delayed it because of something going on irl or just some polishing to try and rid the mod of more bugs.

Awesome. So when it updates, will it update automatically for me, or do I have to unsubscrbe and then subscribe again, or something? Also, I'm going to guess that this isn't save-game compatible, but if it is, let me know.

mod update*

@jr1125a That is an effect of the mod being outdated. It adds policies, which can certainly cause trouble when it comes to the others, especially when they change. This shouldn't be a problem much longer, as the mod will release today. I also mentioned it in the "Bug Reports" section, another person as shared the issue.

Using this mod makes "War Economy" still appear, and limits "War Philosophy" to "Ballanced." I can't declare wars to cede planets, vassalize, or make a tributary.

Is this compatible with the Free Government Creation mod?

Just wanted to say, just played with the mod yesterday and it is excellent. Keep up the good work!

Cannot wait to see events. Heck, if anyone has a guide on how to make events I might even start writing some to help out.

@Like_A_Stone Glad to hear it, hope you're ok.

The update for this mod will be out Monday, July 11. Sorry for the delay. I have had a concussion and grad school assignments due.

@Baleur Why wouldn't it? All other mods work for them, including this mod, when not even updated. Only problem is that I can't adjust War Philosophy, I did tests, it's because this isn't updated, but it's not that big a deal.

Cant wait =D Does it work on existing saves?

@Chara Who wouldn't?

Excited for the update :3

@gabychish It is compatible, I have used both mods together (including other mods similiar) and my game is running perfectly fine, even on a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ pc.
