I think it would help if you put a warning in the thestrals are a danger to ponies option because i did not realise that no other civil war nation will spawn.

It was going to be explained at some point in the prewar storyline that is not written yet.

Tell me if this explination sound reasonable:

Celestia says batponies are a danger, Luna gets big mad. Luna then IMMEDIATELY starts plotting coup, plans for a swift takeover and then fails thus the reason why the NLR is super outnumbered to start and no breakaway happens because unlike the normal civil war path that has a slow destabalization then civil war this is just ~poof~, failed one day coup then massive military buildup on both sides preventing any potential tiny breakaway state because they would be outnumbered 100 to 1.

yeah it sounds reasonable

Cool, will be working on that at some point. Currently have classes/hw/test today so probs not much today. I did release first update and added the basics of the religious system, (And a bugfix) but it's pretty simple so far and while I DID plan ahead some and some of the things impact the religion (Certain focuses and whatnot add to it) there is no continuous way to ramp it up as of yet. Maybe late tomorrow bigish update will hit.

cool

Just did a playthrough with this mod for Equestria/Solar Empire and it works brilliantly. However the vanilla Stress mechanic to trigger Daybreaker is still operating while the mod is active. In my last playthrough I had Daybreaker trigger with the vanilla Stress mechanic while the Desperation mechanic was active. I suggest removing the Desperation mechanic and just leave everything active because the mod content was alot of fun.
