@DramaLama Is it intended that free cities become near impossible to vassalize? When I give them a whispering stone, instead of the usual 6-8 turns before the next level toward vassalization there is 50-100 turns to an eldritch pact. I'm not playing as an eldritch lord, and it doesn't matter what race the city is, I get the same result.

Same problem than @phoenixfighter09

Not sure exactly what is causing the issue but this mod is making every free city into Umbral Dwellings instead of the default Free City type.

I believe it was originally added to show people that the "defend city" option meant they would stand on its city. But it was decided it was not needed and so it was disabled.

I think it would be a great edition to add back into the default game but we'll have to see what the developers decide to do.

Personally I would have it delete any existing army that was patroling the city beforehand when a new patrol army is created if the developers were to re-add his functionally to the game.

Wait re-enables?
As it is used to be part of the game?
Why was it removed?

Is it possible to make a mod that allows you to take a province from a vassal? just like you change provinces between your cities.

I am running the latest version of the game.

You may have to re-install the game, do you own the expansions? This shouldn't require any of the expansions just the latest version of the game. But any differences with your version would help to know.

Yes, I have.

have you enabled the mod in the launcher? i've tried installing the mod on a new device and everything seems to be working.

Can anybody help me please?

For me, the new options aren't visible from there... I really have no idea what's wrong.

Just to confirm, the new options are visible from within the rally of the lieges menu, and not from pressing on a vassal city.

If your using a controller you need to press the reinforce vassal option before the Guard and Patrol options became visible to you.

I'm having the same problem. I've tried playing with only this mod and the new options aren't showing for me. Very strange. And I'm not on beta either.

Not on beta version. Also tried downloading the mod from Paradox Plaza and manually installing the mod, no luck. Very strange. Will keep thinking and trying. If anyone can come up with an idea please share.

I Can't find anything that would conflict with this mod in that list? Are you guys on the beta branch of the game maybe?

I've tried this on several different devices with it working on each one, even the steam deck that requires downloading the paradox launcher externally.

Sorry for the late reply ^^ I'm using 69 mods in my playset..., this will exceed the 1000 limit of the comment. Shall I still post the list?

So in essence the only 2 mods I have in common with the poster beneath me are Age of Colours and Banner Bonanza ^^ 90% of my mod list is tome stuff related or cosmetic, so I really can't imagine why it wouldn't work.

I also only tested with only this mod active and I can't get the menu buttons to show up. Tested with a vassallized free city. I also tried unsubbing and subbing. It's a mystery :D

Skip Intro
Age of Colors
Repeatable Rites
Banner Bonanza
Empire Skill Costs doubled - custom personal mod to increase the cost of Empire Skills
Slower Slow Game Speed - custom personal mod to slow down game speed

Have you tried only using this mod? You can open up the mod folders to see what files they edit.

What mods are you guys using?

@Holy Fool Sehrael
I am not seeing the new options as well. Mod is downloaded and activated. I am using other mods, but I am sure they are not editing the same file. Have you resolved the situation?

It shouldn't conflict with any other mods unless they directly edit the vassal rules. I'm not home at the moment so I can't check but this mod only edits 1 file and should be very lightweight when it comes to mod compatibility.

I've not seen any other mods that seem to edit the rules of vassals.

Those buttons do not show up for me :/ Do you have an idea what type of mod this most likely comflicts with?

Any chance you could add more trade options with vassals? An occasional item that they will sell to you. Or the ability to give them knowledge in exchange for gold or mana, for example?

Spawned patrol armies should act exactly as normal patrol armies should work, meaning they will absolutely attack enemy armies within their borders :)

Uhh nice, finally the vassal free cities can be made active ^^ If they patrol, do they attack enemies like infestation units on their turf? Well i guess I'll find out soon :P
