Sandbox Initiated

WARNING: Your game will FREEZE on the second turn on the start of a new campaign with this mod. The freeze is due to random placement of the factions, don't worry.. it's working as it should!

Do not recommend enabling this on existing games. Only enable for new games!

Supports MCT (OPTIONAL) to modify just about any setting provided in the mod and more!

Great care was taken to be compatible with SFO, Radious or any other overhaul but certain side effects may be inevitable based on what faction you're playing.

No campaign will ever play out the same way. The mission of this mod is to make your campaign as dynamic as possible and to make it more fun!


IMPORTANT NOTE: There was recent change to how attribute randomization is performed on melee defense and offense when rolled at the start of the game. How it works now is every faction including players start at whatever the "Randomized Attributes Threshold" value is set in the negative. So if it's set at the default 20 then you (if you set player randomization) and all AI factions start with -20% melee attack and defense, the random roll then increases the value from this base with maximum roll of the "Randomized attributes Threshold" so a perfect score would be no negative melee attack\defense (the player may get a tiny additional bonus). Why was this changed? Well once melee attack\defense get too high, they get increasingly irrelevant. So I believe this change will make these values much more relevant, don't worry about negative values here too much, both you and the AI are under the same rule.

• Random diplomacy across the board every new game. However, by default relations are still weighted based on lore in certain directions via order\destruction\chaos dynamics but this does leave the door open for some "unholy" alliances. This can be heavily modified through MCT.
  
• Random placements on turn 2. Corruption automatically adjusted based with the placement.
  
• Simple missions that gives you some sort of goal to work towards with currency rewards.
  
• Tweaked AI behavior for better experience. Anti-player bias is nerfed to be more fair and AI will be more reasonable (or opportunistic) in it's decision making and will focus on expansion.
  
• AI factions will not be bound by their default campaign behavior.
  
• "Inherited" corruption based on the native population of a region was removed. This was to make random placements more fair based on the roll.
  
• All factions have no climate penalties based on settlement location.
  
• Over 26 attributes for each AI faction are randomized at the start (attributes like Armor, Weapon Damage, Missile Damage, Melee Attack, Melee Defense, Growth, Control and much much more).
  
• Different and Fair Strategic Threat mechanic. The exact same rules apply to you and the AI.
  
• Rivalry system (where anyone who are bitter enemies or have very friendly relations with the player can randomly get generic buffs to keep up the challenge and to make alliances more rewarding).

It's 'mostly' MP friendly, I cannot test it completely. However this is what I've learned from comments and some of my limited testing:

1) When the mod recently got updated. Make sure it's up to date, try unsubscribing and start the game and then quit and then re-subscribe.
2) If your using MCT make sure you that whoever you're with is using the EXACT same settings. Even though the new MCT should technically solve this, I still randomly hear issues about that.
3) On turn 3, Desync almost always happens (due to the random starts) however after re-sync, will likely keep working after that hopefully.

If MCT is installed, you have the ability to change battle length, enable dynamic battle difficulty based on how powerful you are (rules apply to AI as well) and much more!

• Random placement happens on turn 2 instead of the start of the game, I did this for other mods which may adjust settlement ownership at the start of the game.
  
• Random placement isn't as painful for certain factions (note the climate and native population changes above).
  
• All wars end on turn 1 & 2 as a reset. You can still declare war on a faction on turn one to get your initial mission reward and then that war will end on turn 2 when randomized placement occurs.
  
• Certain faction mechanics adjusted to be more friendly to the randomized placement (Empire's Imperial Authority, Cathay's Bastion mechanics and Dwarf's initial grudges are the biggest offenders which have been modified). More in the Faction Changes rollup post under the "Discussions" tab above!

• Knowing factions you are not neighboring with or across the map.
  
• Victory conditions could be impossible.
  
• Initial Objectives could be impossible.
  
• The introduction may make no sense by turn 2.
  
• Cathay caravans are 'hardcoded' in the WH3 DB and so their routes will remain the same regardless of the randomized placement.
  
• End game scenarios may have 'unintended' consequences as some scenarios assume vanilla placements... so you may be in for a world of hurt depending on where you are and what your diplomacy is when it triggers. Consider yourself warned!
