dang its just a large encompassing mod.
Well, thank you for the reply nevertheless.

Not sure why the last link got merged into the last word.
Thatis the right link for future reference.

@John Shepherd N7117 if both mods use the same files they overwrite each other. U gonna have to choose which feature u want by changing the mod order. If u switch it the operation will appear again, but some of my changes in exchange wont be in any longer.

Found it...https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2574175110&searchtext=expanded+espionage+and+diplomacy

Expanded espionage and diplomacy mod. It has an expropriation operation. Such a large mod I've never turned it off so...became part of the "base". Apologies for the confusion.

Are you able to make a patch for it, please?

@John Shepherd N7117 there is no spy operation like that in vanilla. Do you mean the expropriate casus belli (a war declaration)?

Thank you, great mod.
Trying to narrow it down but I believe your mod disabled "expel corp" mission against pirate havens corps

@Zoranye here is now the legacy version. Sorry for the wait. I had misplaced the old files. https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3511038053

@drachenklinge4 (hart) can you please update this mod?

need a legacy port to 3.14.

@Permy134 there could be several reasons why an AI is unable to leave a federation no matter how much it wants to. If its a hegemony the fed president has all the power and not allow it. Also in wartime no member can leave a federation. And there is also a possible that maybe two members hate each other a lot, but the fed vote to kick a member out is continously declined as the other fed members like the to be kicked member too much. Even if u dont manage to get a fed to break up, at least the smear campaign leaves a lot of cohesion damage to the fed levels.

The mod is now updated to 4.0. It is now also possible to use the "prepare invasion" spy operation without needing the bodysnatcher civic.

smear campaign barely doesnt really do much for me. even after 5 campaigns in a row they are still in the federation. any idea why?

I'm grateful for this mod. In fact
vanilla spy missions were really just for roleplaying, since they consumed precious influence and had low success rates, and even if you succeeded the benefits were weak
But that's no longer the case
(although I think it's too OP that the cost of adding such a buff, even with Overdrive, is only around 50-100 energy)

@Dr. Nolegs the recovery is already increased twice as fast, as the negative opinion was increased. So in case of smear campaign it starts with the mod active at -500 and ticks down by 6,25 every month (80 months until modifier is fully gone). In base game it starts at -80 and ticks down by 0.5 each month (160 months till modifier is fully gone). Both are decaying faster with factor 1.5 if relations get improved via envoy.

smear campaign has a way higher negative opinion modifier and damages federation cohesion

-500 is utterly crippling when the AI does this on you, could you either reduce it's effectiveness, or drastically increase it's recovery?

-500 with 8-12 opinion per YEAR is just a bit much, most of the other changes are cool enough.
