Just an update if anyone was wondering, the issue discussed with Pants had been fixed across all of my mods several months ago.

@Pants Fixed for this start position mod specifically, but I will need to update all of my start position mods for this not to be happening anymore. That will be done when patch 6.2 drops, as I will need to open every one of my mods then in any case.

Thank you very much for reporting this and for the kind words.

In case anyone's wondering, the issue was caused by a faction string parameter being used instead of a faction script interface for the reset_shroud command, causing the game to reset the shroud for all the factions in the game, instead of just for the intended faction.

For some reason while playing as Franz this mod causes the empire to no longer to be visible to him. would you ever plan on "fixing" this or is there even a way to do so? great mod btw exactly what i was looking for

@Herald of The End Times
Swissbob's True World mod does that, I'm sadly not interested in making such a change with my mods, as each of them needs to be maintained as updates come to the game.

Can you move Skarbrand to Southern Waste ?

@Rein Ostankya in Gryphon Wood creates the problem of needing to destroy her for Imperial Authority, if playing as an Imperial faction. Drycha tries to befriend you as an Imperial faction often as well. If Ostankya works well for you there, that's cool.

As for Drycha in Cathay, I expect changes in that part of the world with the inevitable Cathay/Monkey King DLC once it comes around.

Thank you for the comment!

The best changeup I have tried is moving Drycha to the Cathay forest since that minor faction has zero relevance and Putting Ostankya into Gryphon wood. Places her closer to Kislev but also means a friendly major faction now helps tie down Azhag / Vlad for awhile before eventually getting Destroyed. As for Drycha in Cathay - either gets into a death match with Nakai or lives long enough to annoy AI Lohkir whom steamrolls north east Cathay currently.
