IMO the Pymous stratagem and vidcom packs are all you need. And you don't need those. They just make the game look a lot nicer.

Is that your modus operandi? If you don't like a though or opinion, shutdown it down categorically, rather than offering considered dialog and interchange regarding your viewpoint?

Yes.

https://i.imgur.com/lMxMlhSl.png Doesn't really make sense that a female leader cannot use the services of a courtesan as it's really not about reproduction. https://i.imgur.com/j76PbFZl.png Nor does it make sense that leader of the Supreme Command Council cannot be chosen for it regardless of sex....

Is there a simple way to disable all the "Fate Pack awarded on X difficulty only" limitations?

I never play on Normal, so I end up getting barely any FPs all game and feel like I'm missing out on a part of the game never using any of the fun FP cards.

The real answer here is going to a subscription-based business model, but that's such a foreign idea for these types of games that it would never fly. With a subscription-based business model, the developer would be free to fix, update, upgrade, etc... whatever is best for the game and community, w...

instead of going around the bush of relieving wasting pp clicking dismiss 10 times until u get the one u want. just let me click the one i want select what position they should replace the current with and use interior staff roll to reduce negative backlash to it. its so unnecessary complicated to ...

Of course there will be someone quoting the maxim about amateurs and professionals in regards to logistics, because they actually have no real clue how the military works. Generals have staffs that take care of all that and provide the commander with advice on the best options; they don't manage it...

So you need to leave troops in the pool in case of riots? I guess I need to make sure of that when I build new units, in case the one turn I used all the troops to build with coincides with one of these events. Games that require you to devote so much attention to a myriad of issues are tedious, fr...

Isn't unrealistic, just awkward interface. You can both choose to supply them from their zone or create a new SHQ, and possibly buy needed items in zone, otherwise your orders are assumed to "do not supply the troops until connected". How does one "supply them from their zone"? ...

Stratagems usually have another stratagem as a pre-requisite. I would suggest to avoid scrapping the minor diplomacy stratagems if you were doing it, it will help generating the entire range of minor stratagems. I don't know from the top of my head for minors but I remember that for majors it gener...

Check the 'items' tab above the unit portraits to see what was requested and what was delivered.
Also, click on the barrel icon next to the SHQ commander's face to see details on what a certain unit is missing.

Am I correct in thinking that the commercial gift (and estate gift) are essentially pure flavor text/role play and they have no effect on the economy or assets beyond boosting leader relation?

Not sure if it's a bug or a design decision, but conquering two (or more) cities on same turn still only gives 1 FP total. If staggered out between multiple turns each conquered city gives 1 FP. It feels kinda gimmicky and counterintuitive to stop and wait one turn between conquests just to maximize...

Thanks for this. I've been a fan of the statagem mod for a long time and this one goes great with it. However, I'm noticing frankly pretty awful JPEG artifacting in some of the screens. Perhaps most notably this one but also this and many others. These screenshots are uncompressed PNGs so this is ex...

I really like the new portraits. However, I noticed they're not used by the 'scrap' cards. I'm not sure if it's a static face or one generated for each card because it's my first time seeing this card, but either way: https://i.imgur.com/d7ghbbqm.jpg The unit portraits also use the old faces, but I'...

This is 50% related to the mod and 50% the game in general, but I just noticed that the scrap cards are not customized by the mod. (I have played the game for 200 hours and never used the 'scrap' functionality before.) https://i.imgur.com/d7ghbbqm.jpg Nor do they use the modern face gen, but that's ...

I have just pushed the delete button on my Shadow Empire "saved games" at the 12th unsuccessful try at playing the game to conclusion...after probably 150 total hours or more of play. I had no trouble playing my first game to conclusion in what was probably 20ish hours. I didn't win, but ...

Has anyone found a way to replace the default (lack of) portrait?

I know it's just a minor detail but I'd much rather have a hand-picked image than the generic question mark to represent myself.

I thought I was going crazy. Just logged in to download some mods earlier in the day and everything looked the way I remembered it.

The manual says it means the skill was used recently.
