Very enjoyable mod! I have a humble request/suggestion :-)

When playing as Vampire Coast, the tier 2 vanilla effect of -10% cost to build and recruit is only available on the first tier of resources buildings. So it is typically not a good choice to upgrade them until rather late in the game.

Do you think you could implement that effect on all tiers? Alternatively make it tiered as -0%/-5%/10%?

(I have not modded much, so I don't know how complicated this change would be.)

@TToKKang - Don't see your creation anywhere

thanks for this

@_Harted_ - Thank you for providing the helpful advice as needed

@Baron Devastator
Put Rhox's mod higher in the load order than Eviltide's mod. Both mods change the allowed diplomatic options. Rhox's mod prevents Grudgebringers from forming alliances, as this is a hardcoded restriction for mercenary contracts. Eviltide overrides (removes) this restriction, and because of this, the mercenary contract system breaks. If you put Eviltide lower in the load order, everything should work.

Hi. Great mod but there is any solution to make this work together ?

After combining these mods in my collection, war orders from factions stop generating and only a blank board remains. No crash, just lack of orders.

Hello! I translated this mod into Korean and uploaded it! If you don't like what I uploaded, I will delete it!

update pl ㅠㅠ

@Ragnarok I am glad the stack trace helped you.
Thank you for your time

Ah so its 'Old World Rites' mod that does not like my mod granting military access it seems. I never used that mod, so would never have known.

@Ragnarok it boots fine I just get script break errors in game, example log:

I am not quite sure what is breaking on your end, works for me. Is your game unable to boot up?

@RagnaroK I can provide complete modlist and/or script logs if you want

Got some script break errors with your mod. Found it using the powershell command based on the script logs

I can make Golg able to ally and make vassals like others, but it will render his merc contract mechanic unusable sadly.

I tried dabbling with the vanilla script to make it all work, but no luck sadly, so for now its an either or situation.

>Does this work with Golg's mercenary contracts? Yes, but he won't be able to make alliances nor vassals, which kinda suits his mercenary style.

Is there any chance of you making it an option/submod? Love this mod, thank you.

Legend!

@Ragnarok - thank uuuuuuuuuu

Freaking legendary modder man

Hell yeah!

Golg contract mechanic works now. So many hours I never get back.

Happy gaming fellas!

That would be massively useful if they did

They really need a way to batch add Golgfag as an exception don't they?

Hey fellas, yeah I was looking over a multitude of options for a few hours yesterday without luck.

It is because I scripted all diplomacy options for all factions, that golg merc mechanic breaks for sure.

I am trying to exclude him from alliances and vassals, but no luck so far and I really don't wan't to manually add 500+ factions manually in an attempt to exclude him.

But I am working on it and hoping to find a solution.

Is it possible to disable this for goldfag, vassals automatically declare war as well as the contract buttons not working, cheers!

Yeah, can confirm. this mod deactivates Golgfags mercenary contracts.

@Ragnarok. The game mechanic for Golgfags faction i mean. The button for contracts is "grey" with this mod.

I started with Uzzag and it seems to be working fine. Thank you.

That was some leftover MCT stuff I was testing a while back, but I generally don't like how MCT 'works' most of the time, so I decided against it.

I have removed those files and updated, it will be gone with your next load in and it had no effect on the game.

It seems like the Mod Configuration Tool option is broken. I get the following warning message:
"eviltidetrade" has been disabled due to an error while loading it. Report this issue to the mod author.

Glad to hear it! But what is broken exactly? What is his mech?

i love this mod. thank u! golfags mech dont work 4 now.... can u fix this?

Update

All diplomacy options has been added to all factions.

Yes all options will be available for all factions once I update this mod tomorrow with the DLC update.

I could look into the different aspects and see if there would be any doable parametres to tweak.

For a short team solution, you could probably gift gold to gain some quick approval albeit expensive. I haven't had the time to play the demons as of yet, but I assume they probably have some aversion towards Bel'Akor, but I'll see if I can tweak something.

Oh, so we wouldn't need the separate mod allowing all diplomacy for all factions? Nice. Hey something I noticed is that if I don't have trade agreements with daemon factions I am unable to upgrade my daemon units. Both Skarbrand and N'Kari are my vassals but because I'm Be'Lakor they hate me and canceled their trade agreements. Is there a mod out there that forces vassals to trade with you? I can't upgrade my bloodletters while Skarbrand is at -150 approval for some reason!

Small tidbit

When 6.0 drops on december 12th, this mod will allow all diplomacy options for all factions, which includes trade, non-aggression pacts, peace, vassals, def/alliance treaties etc.

I know a lot of factions had individual diplomacy options, but applying it to all factions is saving me a ton of work compared to do entries for 24+ factions or however many there is.

Glad to hear it and enjoy!

Just in case, you need to have a capital and that capital needs to have access to those factions you wish to trade with either via land or sea, if they are blocked, you won't be able to trade. (vanilla mechanic).

It works!! And thanks for the quick response.

When I first installed and activated I couldn't trade, but I think after letting it "bake in" for a couple of turns it started working. Because now I can trade all of the things.

+1 and thanks again =)

SFO also fiddles with resources, so I just made sure my mod would supercede their stuff, as plenty of people has asked me before.

So if you wish to fully utilize WoC and Welf resources to tier 3, then yes you have to use 'Forests & Fortresses' or a another mod granting those needed settlement tiers.

Beastmen you would most likely need a building slot mod like BSE or Mixus Mixer in order to just have room.

Hope that helps clarifying a bit, otherwise let me know.

I can see how its confusing, the way it is worded.

WoC and Daemon Prince is mentioned as being able to do 'trade agreements' with other factions, which they can't in vanilla.

The part where both are not included, is the custom resource buildings/chains producing resources, like the others on that specific list.

In vanilla they can usually only make a resource building tier 1 without resources or no buildings at all, which I give them with this mod on equal terms with other factions.

The reason WoC and Welf is left out, is because their settlements only go to tier 1 in vanilla and it felt wrong to give them building tiers via this mod for what it does, so I moved those to 'forest & fortresses' as you mention.

I'm confused about how these mods should be used. Any help? I love the idea and would love to use it!

This mod page states that Warriors of Chaos are not included, but further down in the "Trade Via Diplomacy" list of factions, both Warriors of Chaos and Daemon Prince are included.

Do I need to use this mod, the Frontier Forests & Fortresses mod, or both?

I am running SFO but Eviltide Trading & Resourceful Benefits are higher on the load order so they should supercede anything SFO is setting. I do NOT currently have any of these other trading or minor settlement infrastructure mods, as I've got some different mod that is doing that already (I forget which atm).

Anyways, thanks for a great mod idea! I'll fiddle and see if I can't get it working with my list

Thanks for letting me know, glad this little trick worked out. Also thank you for being persistent, as I now consider this mod compatable with the big overhaul mods.

You are my hero, I force resubbed and tried both Tomb Kings and Chaos Dwarfs both I had issues with previously. They function with the starting resource buildings like they are supposed to. Thank you a bunch.

I very much understand why you don't make the submods, I appreciate what you do.

I just did an old trick, maybe it will be enough to make it work.

Make sure you force resub this mod and then do a test to see if it worked. It will be the best I can do with a mod catalogue nearing a 100 and 15+ mods more in the pipeline.

Which means I prefer to not make to many submods like SFO etc. as it is to much to maintain. But as I always say, people are more than welcome to make submods for my mods etc. and I would happily link them in description too.

But give it a whirl, hopefully this fix is enough to sort it out.

@RagnaroK are you able to create a fix at all or is the problem too large/too annoying to fix? I love this mod and I would prefer not to get rid of it.

@Lachlain - Thanks for the feedback , I thought as much with that overhaul, since people reported the same issue with SFO.

I'll put it in the description.

Hello Author! I would like to report a mod conflict between Eviltide and Radious mods. Radious changes some of the resource buildings for some of the factions, I found issues with Chaos Dwarfs, Tomb Kings, and Wood Elves at the moment. Radious takes the Tiers 1-3 that you/base game have and created a single Tier 3. This causes the UI to bug out making construction impossible. I don't know if you can or are willing to make a fix but I just wanted to post this so people know about it.

Just noticed that this mod got to 5-stars.

Thank you everyone for enjoying and using it.
