thank you for this mod

For those who are wondering, yes, this mod still works as of the most recent version.

Sorry, but I haven't played in almost 2 months and I don't have the time right now. But whoever wants is free to take the files and modify them to adapt them to the current version and publish it.

I can't seem to get it to work :(

doesn't work

Doesn't work.

Bettttt I've been waiting for this my entire life

It should work as the condition is not having pacifist ethic.

Does this work with ethics and civics alternative?

Check that it is not due to other mods by activating only this one. In the policies tab you should see the option Armageddon within the bombing policies. In my games it works perfectly.

Doesn't seem to be working.

Updated

working with 2,6 or update planned?

This mod isn't working for me. I'm not sure why but the bombardment policy still only has two options.

@Memekip The Ultra God
Pfft. That is nothing. See that planet? I'm committing EXTERMINATUS.

welp time to vIOLATE THE GENEVA CONVENTION

I think it's unnatural how much I enjoy tombing enemy planets

Correction it won't turn enemy worlds into tombs at all. It will kill all the pops, but it won't nuke the planet afterward. It used to work but there seems to be some change in the last patch or so that interferes, in short the fault seems to be on paradox end.

This wont always turn planets to tomb worlds for some reason

I just checked it for Hive Minds and it works. Remember that the mod does not allow you to put the bombing mode of your fleets in armageddon directly, but allows the armageddon option in the policies tab. If you are not allowed the option in the policies tab is that another mod is interfering. To check it you can deactivate the rest of mod.

Is it a mod conflict I'm experiencing, or does this mod not give Hive Minds the capacity to tomb a world?

If you use a few mods it's easy, but if you use a lot, it's a pain in the ass. You should look at all the mods and check if they modify the policies folder, if so, then check if they change the bombing policy part. If so, then change only that part, in this case the simplest thing that you copy what is written in the notebook of my mod. Problem, if the other person updates the mod you would have to repeat this again since the mod is downloaded again undoing the change. As I say it is a pain in the ass. I do not use Zeneth of the fallen empires for that very reason, instead I mount a mod that mixes a bit of Zeneth of the fallen empires, Dark Matter Power Creation and PJs :: Becoming to Fallen Empire. This solution the problem is that it takes time and effort.

Just wondering if you could point me in the right direction for modding i love playing with Zeneth of the fallen empires but like you said it clashes so i want to know how to fix this issue in all mods i play with and may make in the future

I am aware that there are some mods, especially those that touch policy things, that make this mod not work. This is because some modders have the bad habit of copying and pasting the entire notebook even if they are only going to change a part of it. In those cases I can not do anything, with The Zenith of Fallen Empires 2.0 I for example had to manually change the part of the bombing policy, because although the mod that part did not change it with respect to the vanilla, the modder copied and pasted also the parts that he did not modify, so he overwrote my mod.

I don't think this is working with the government + mod that expands perks. That's my only guess

I just checked, now it works.

Just tested it, and no, it seems to be broken.

Does it still work?

Frankly In the current patch of the game, not having armageddon bombing when they deathstack 3 police presincts in one world on all of the AI Worlds is just infuriating.

That's kinda actually my point: making Armageddon available in connection with the finishing of the colossus project sort of represents the national leadership going "you know, now that we've committed to being able to blow up planets whenever we feel like it... what's the point in being so restrained in our orbital bombardment policy?"

mmm, I do not see much sense because being able to do an Armageddon bombardment does not depend on your technology, you have nuclear weapons since the beginning of the game, it is a political decision of whether you should or not.

Here's a suggestion for a spin-off mod: how about finishing the Colossus project unlocking Armageddon bombardment?

oh...only -20. that's why i've missed it :D thanks for the clarifications though.

and i guess my usual warfare tactics is to blame too. i use raiding bombardment to reduce the population...and then armageddon to finish planet off (cuz my goal in the war not to win, but to destroy opponent entirely)

That last part is at the end of the next page of the Wiki - https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Land_warfare - that is independent of the orbital bombardment policy, so it should continue to have effect.

I'm sorry for not answering before, I've had a busy month.

@Emperor Newt It should work with everyone except pacifists, including Gestalt Consciousness. If it does not work for you, it is most likely due to incompatibility with another mod.

@Slynx Jewel I do not understand what it says in the description of the mod, but it does seem to modify the bombardment, so it should not be compatible. Armageddon bombardment has diplomatic penalties. For having the policy of Armageddon bombardment you have a penalty of -10 and -20 from Pacifist Empires and Fanatic Pacifists respectively, it must be indicated as Bombardment Policy. Further, "each pop killed by Orbital Bombardment lowers the Diplomacy opinion of every non Militarist and Fanatic Militarist empire, particularly Pacifist and Fanatic Pacifist ones. Fallen Empires also ignore it, with the exception of the Benevolent Interventionists".

You can never be to sure.

i guess it's not compatible with https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=887011008 ?
also... i've missed something or setting you bombardment to armageddon doesn't cause any sort of diplomatic penalty at all? (unlike unrestricted wars that upset pacifists)

probably for the best though. less compatibility issues

I'm guessing this won't work on Machine Intelligence? Just tested it out and it doesn't seem to show up in the Policies, @Palillo.

yeah it showed up, guess I was just being dumb, sorry!

Have you seen that the orbital bombardment policy you have in Armageddon?

OK, its just that I've tried changing my bombardment stance and I still only have limited and indiscriminate. I'm playing an Authouritarian, militarist,materialist Empire

save-game compatible

Is this save-game compatible, or do I need to start a new game to use this?

Pacifists do not like to bomb civilians even if these "civilians" do not have their own conscience. The main problem is that pacifists have a negative modifier of opinion towards empires that have a policy of indiscriminate bombardment or armageddon bombardment. It would be as if the egalitarians could have the slavery allowed.

I've been looking for this! Should be useable for all! Why would'nt a pacifist faction nuke a hungry, devouring Hive Mind Swarm.
