The Great War mod is a total conversion modification for Napoleon: Total War. It creates an authentic representation of World War 1-era tactics, strategies and general warfare within the game. Including stunning new visuals that include entirely new models and textures for equipment, vehicles and more, the mod immerses you into the era with brand new gameplay unlike anything you've experienced in Total War before.
I've made another breakthrough that will make the effects on the government more effective and interesting.
I have found a way to assign ancillaries to the ministers that triggers based on what trait level is active on the faction leader. Meaning when the Tsarinas Rule trait is assigned on the next turn the Tsarina herself will be assigned as a follower to the minister.
This is important because effects like -1 to management of the justice dept only work when its added to the minister of justice etc. So now the proper effect will be assigned to the proper minister to debuff the Russian government.
I'm planning on making an ancillary of the Tsar to assign to the minister of the army once the commander in chief trait is assigned.
And the best part is even if the minister is removed by the player or they die the script will just assign her again to the minister that takes his place. You cannot escape her wrath.
The purpose of this is to incentivize the player to follow through with February revolution to remove the Tsar. All of this goes away when the Tsar abdicates.
hi I think its good that the AI follows the historic path but I would prefer if you as a player of a faction could alter the history (e.g. sucessfully fighting the revolution as russia).
Thanks for your work tho !
None of this stops the player from fighting against the revolutions. It just makes keeping the Tsarist regime a bit more challenging.
thanks for your reply! Thats fair. I thought I remembered that there is no sense in fighting the revolution since the rebel forces keep spawning? Maybe I got that mixed up
Another tactic to minimize the negative effects of the Tsarina would be to rearrange or kick ministers until you get better ones like 4 or 5 stars that way the negative effects will be diminished.
