Migz - DH's Party Loyalties Rebalanced for Rise of the Republic (Patch 20, Ancestral Update)

Description
Adds party-loyalty bonuses for every faction through the technology tree in the Rise of the Republic campaign.

This mod tweaks the current political system in Rise of the Republic (RotR) to help make the early game slightly less difficult. This is not intended to be a major game changer but is instead supposed to balance the campaign to be a little bit more manageable at all difficulty levels. You will still need to use the Politics panel to stop secessions from happening. (Hint: Marry off the other parties' generals, and promote their spouses.)

Edit: 8 September 2018, rebalanced from eight points to six points.

This mod enhances two technologies for each faction.
  • Four points of party loyalty in the first (top) Civil technology.
  • Two points of party loyalty in a second-tier technology in the Civil tree.
  • These are in addition to the points that all factions but Syracuse and Taras can get in vanilla RotR through technologies.

Is this save-game compatible?
Migz - DH  [author] 12 Aug, 2018 @ 1:31am 
Thanks! I hope that people find it useful until/if CA tweaks the campaign.

Thanks, much needed. Nicely balanced and not too overpowered. :)
