Sylvania: Faction Overhaul

Description
"At the edge of the Haunted Hills by the source of the Black Run River, Leicheberg lives in fear of its neighbour to the east, Sylvania. Its ruler, Count Petr von Stolpe, has faced the Walking Dead many times in his life and is convinced the von Carsteins mean to expand beyond their ancient borders."

Probably my most complete mod yet, this mod adds a whole new faction to the Empire; Sylvania.

FEATURES
  • Sylvanian Expedition – 1 new Faction, 1 Legendary Lord, 2 Legendary Heroes, 1 new RoR, and 5 new units
  • 2 new landmarks and 3 new building chains
  • Custom Mechanics
    • Stuck in the Past - Sylvanians are unwelcome to any new technological advancements. Sylvania will have a faction debuff to gunpowder/artillery units until you complete the "Sylvania goes BAM!" quest, issued after capturing Castle Drakenhof.
    • Empire Politics - Kinda. Mostly works, except for Reinstating (IE)

PLEASE READ
  • This mod is balanced for vanilla gameplay. It aims to insert itself into vanilla campaigns as seamlessly as possible.
  • Tier 3 Forges and up are locked until you finish the "Sylvania goes BAM!" quest.
  • Gunpowder nerfs will be removed when finishing the "Sylvania goes BAM!" quest.
  • Jovi Sunscryer can be recruited by building the Templehof Light Order landmark.
  • Reinstating this elector/faction will not work in IE. I've tried everything I could and it just won't work, as I suspect there will be some changed needed in the startpos for it to work. Please don't bother Mixu or anyone to ask about this.
  • However, I highly recommend to play this faction in The Old World, as all Empire Politics mechanics will work there.

RECOMMENDED

I appreciate it!! Never any pressure, just a fan of your work making a request. :)

Oh thats what you mean. I’ll try to fix as soon as i can

It must be something on my end then, my apologies! The regular Grand Masters do not show up for me. ^^

@Betamax - they are recruitable by other empire factions, through a landmark at castle sylvania
@Elia - pretty sure they are already

Hey! Is there any way this could be made compatible with your Grand Masters mod? I absolutely love your mods, and they are a staple in all of my runs especially as the Empire.

Never mind the Karl wardec fealty issue, that was RDLL

Playing on old world getting an error message about the startup script crashing every time I load or return from a battle after Sylvania bit it.

Also, I think the game parsed me as wardeccing them somehow because I have fealty malus from declaring war on an empire member?

Is there any way you can make the new units recruitable by other empire factions? Maybe make them tied to provincial military buildings, like Xoudad has done with Sigmar's Heirs?

Sylvania goes BAM quest triggered as achieved (before I had all gunnery schools complete) and now after I do have 3 of them I'm still locked out from the level 4 forge or whatever. Not too big a deal really as the mod is still amazing but would be nice to have some extra firepower :D
