It's probably broken because of that update CA did to the shogun 2 launcher. If you want to edit them personally for yourself then all you need is packfilemanager (just google the name), launch it, select shogun 2 download location, then select in the top left file>open, then open the data.pack file in your shogun 2 data folder, navigate to db>cai_personalities_budget_allocations_tables and then change the appropriate numbers in the agent funding cap and whatnot to zero or whatever you want it to be.

When CA updated it broke all the mods such that I couldn't use any of my own mods despite selecting them in the launcher, so I resorted to just editing the game files in such a way that it can't be ignored by the game. and any time you mess up something or it causes the game to not work you can just re-verify game files and steam will re-download the original data.pack for you, removing any alterations.

This mod seems to be broken, but another mod <AI no navy no agent> still works. I don't know why it is broken. I don't want the AI ​​to send out agents, but I want the AI ​​to be able to build a navy and I want to fight naval battles. :)

Finally I don't have to drown in a sea of Metsuke and Ninjas spawnkilling my own agents/murdering my generals through sheer weight of numbers.

10/10 mod.

@AirOregon it will work

I don't even know what that is. But probably not.

Do you know if it works with UEFC ?

Awesome, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Ended up starting anew file anyways because the AI spammed agents. Had 3 times the amount of agents as he had provinces somehow haha. Mods working great on the new file.

current agents stay but no new ones will be recruited

Can this be added mid game, and if so what happens to any current AI agents?

I have no idea how to do that

Thanks for the update.
Could you make a mod for the rifles to have historically accurate bayonets?

It should be updated now. Had a problem with the new launcher because it wouldn't update, or do anything in fact. Turns out the new way to upload mods requires the thumbnail to be a .png and not a .jpg like it was in the past. A good change that I wish they would have mentioned somewhere. If any of you in the future want to ask legacy mods to be updated mention this in case the modder doesn't know.

please update

please can you update?

Works for me. No new agents

Does this work for FotS?

Mod Manager is back baby :) please maybe update for the new manager

does not work:(

Cringe CA "solving" problems. Just play Rome 1 and medieval 2

AI now generates agents even with the mod subscribed. Didn't happen before CA updated the launcher.

Idk what that means

It stopped working with the CA update on its platforms.

doesnt work.

This wil be good for my Rage agenst enenmy agents.

no problem.

Nice, thanks!

I've made two mods. Whether they work or not in co-op I do not know.

Makes Agents expensive:

Makes Agents completely unavailable (minus the starting ones)
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2786616546

it would! if thats not a problem, but yeah making them really costly would do it, not sure of the cap before AI decides not to pick them up... I guess like 10k or something lol

Plausible fix would be to make it so agents are not recruitable by the player or the AI, either by making them ridiculously expensive or just making it so you cant recruit them. Would this kind of a mod interest you?

I've tried it on multiplayer and it didn't work. I don't know why.

any word on multiplayer? we had some crashes but also other mods.

Indeed it cannot. Moss has it's own AI budget allocations file, which overwrites the vanilla one, and as this mod only modifies the vanilla file, it cannot affect moss.

Can't work with moss

Cool

yep it works, i can recruit agents but the AI is unable to as i haven't seen any for 120 turns

Probably

Does it work with FotS?

Works for me

What's the problem?

Doesn't Work.

Okay awesome, thank you :)

No, however, the agents that the AI has already recruited will be unaffected and work as usual, however this mod will prevent them from recruiting any new agents from the moment you activate it.

Do I need to start a new game for this to work?
