Thank you for creating this...

Did some light Bombing for a few Months and was wondering why people suddenly hated me to the Extreme managed to get 250 Malus Terror Bombing in 3 Months xD

@Remulus, indeed! You can get up to x3. The other one factor is being in a federation/defensive pact. I haven't changed this from vanilla, only changed the relevant values from 1 to 10.

I definitely agree there can be finer balancing to be done, this is a very crude solution. But ultimately I think a simple massive decay buff works okay in simulating what I think is both mechanically desirable (in-game), and realistic: empires care a lot about dead civilians in the immediate moment, but stop caring relatively quickly.

If you (or anyone else!) make some alternate tweaks, I'm happy to link it in the description here. :)

Oh and BTW, I just discovered if you assign an envoy, the malus gets reduced 2x - so its 20 now XD

Hey, no problem I'm a dev myself - but thanks for the tutorial!
I have just seen a month or so a go a discussion on reddit about the terror bombing malus and people were really split about it. I would argue that 10 as a value is very high, but maybe the base could be 3 and then there is a diplomatic action for your envoy to quickly reduce it in a given country? Would be a nice addition to diplomacy!

Anyway, good mod!

@Remulus, that strikes me as too modest a change from 1, so I'm not really keen on doing that.

It should be fairly easy to do yourself though!

(1) start the launcher, go into the "Mod library" tab
(2) click on the "..." on the right of "Terror Bombing Decays Faster", then select "open folder".
(3) click into the folders until you see "98__opinion_modifiers.txt", open that file.
(4) Ctrl-F for "decay", and then you should see three instances of 10, change them to 2.5
(5) save the file.

Hey, the idea is very nice! Could you maybe give us a lite version of 2.5 a year?

I've been wishing for someone to address this mess. Thanks a bunch!
