@Dr. Slaptastic : ah yeah, quite an old mod and it was one way to boost the factions that was considered major. If I remember correctly, it was also played with other boosting mods to bring baktria up a notch.

In my experience in a couple games as Parthia i restarted, this mod doesn't just "nerf" Bactria, it completely neuters them, in three different restarts I was able to just walk into 1 city and and auto-resolve the rest due to the garrisons being low strength, no armies to speak of, not even any buildings upgraded except for Bukhara. I don't know if that was intended lol. I didn't immediately go after them either.

@LVL : Also affect EA campaign! Description updated.

Only Grand Campaign? What about Imperator Augustus Scenario?

@IceSquidd : Ah great! Yes, me too! It is def. necessary if you want to face the historical enemies of Rome! You could check out my other mod, Nova Roma. Perhaps it is the mod you are looking for!

@Yenza just tried it out, it is save-game compatible! Thanks btw, i'm using "Guaranteed Major Faction Empires" but i dont think it fixes the problem by itself. I like the idea of having the so-called minor faction have advantages, because it adds a lot of flavour and different possibilities for the campaign, but after a lot of campaigns played now i just want to see Rome, Carthage, Egypt etc build their empires and have huge fight at the end game. My last campaign was with Parthiaa and my main goal was to basically conquer everything towards Italy and then make a huge war with Rome, but instead i had to fight the Boii and the Insubres, which was kinda of a let down.

@IceSquidd : Yes, I believe it is!

Hello, is this mod save-game compatible?

@KillerKarl - haven't tried

work with dei?

@Tommyboy : Yes!

Hate to feel like im asking a stupid question...but does the AI also benefit from these changes?
