Better Laws and Policies

In 1 collection by SassyCrissy
Better Laws Mods - Official Collection
14 items
Description
A mod that expands the rudimentary law system into a well connected, intriguing web of choices that are balanced and impactful but also friendly to role play.

EaW (Equestria at War) version out now!


Modifier Icons I highly recommend using this mod alongside mine.

Inspired by these mods:
  • Better Mechanics : Civilian and Military Laws
  • Better Government
  • Pax Brittanica
  • Millenium Dawn
  • TNO


Compatibility

A Road to 56 patch fixing visual issues is out now !

KaiserreduX submod out now! Please post issues regarding the submod on its own page !

Kaiserreich submod out now! Please post issues regarding the submod on its own page !

Equestria at War version is out now! This is a standalone mod so make sure to use it on its own.


This mod is compatible with most mods that don't change the base game ideologies, even overhaul mods like Great War Redux or RT56. Issues, however, may arise when using mods that overhaul the base game's UI to a large degree as laws may not display correctly.


For translation submods, please check out the official collection near the start of this page !


How does this mod differ from other alternatives like Better mechanics or Better Government ?
  • This mod is (compared to the other law mods out there) more balanced, additionally it uses the game's AI weight system to direct the AI to use policies based on their ideology and leaders instead of statically assigning policies at the start of the game to the AI.

  • While this may mean that the AI will need to spend more PP (Political Power) it also allows the game to be dynamic, with changes to countries' leadership being reflected in the laws. It also allows for newly released states to function correctly and with no issues.

  • Finally, this approach allows for small ideological differences to also be reflected through laws, as sub ideologies of the same group e.g (liberalism vs social democracy or marxism vs stalinism) will select different policies.

The AI has been tuned to be sensitive to changes in gameplay and pick laws accordingly.

Feedback regarding balance is extremely appreciated! Please leave a comment about even the most minuscule issue you have with this mod.

You can also help by giving this mod a thumbs up, an award, a favourite and/or by sharing it to other players!

pls make a remove all restrictions and conditions sub mod i love your mod but want more freedom
Hey author
I suggest you remove all restrictions and conditions for the submod for Kaiserredux
because the given conditions that you made do not correspond to the madness of the mod
remove all conditions, give the players the freedom to set the laws they want

Could you remove or nerf the Race Hierarchy law, I feel it just weakens F nations way too much, along with all the Non-Core buffs other ideologies can get, finding if left to their own devices, Allies have way too much manpower at the start

Hey @SassyCrissy, we've spoken before about the use of your content in my mods, and I was hoping to potentially get your help once more? If we could speak on Discord it'd be great. My username is ct.burke

Yeah the EaW version is just perfect. The special UI does make it even better.

@Shadow Dragon The EaW version has a lot of variety that sadly didn't make it to the original draft. I may do a balancing retouch soon and maybe add a couple of things as well.

I love this mod so much. Still wish you could add something like one-party-state or so for fascist nations instead of them just being a "military dictatorship".
