Malakai Makaisson in Karak Dum - Start Position Change

I never bothered to check for Malakai mods but this one is almost exactly what I needed to enjoy the engineer slayer again - Elspeth was just too huge of a competitor back then.

Almost, because even if the starting point is perfectly manageable, Malaki being so OP, it still lacks in the RP dpt and could use some tweaks so that the starting province doesn't push you North/East into Archaon and Kolek, but to Karak Drak / Chaos Dwarfs, and Kislev. Or if you didn't need to kill the poor ogres. As of now, you just don't have the choice but to delete the Chaos, which is fine, but not what the campaign aims at.

I use the console to change that but... it feels like cheating, it kinda breaks the mood (and the mod, ahah) (ahem), and I'm just too old and blind to learn how to mod =)

Anyway, really great and straightforward job, so the long commentary, thanks !

Right, I understand what you're going for here. Maybe one day i'll give it a try :)

@RogueSkeptic, thanks! pretty much all of my start position mods are compatible through all updates unless they directly mess with starting locations that I'm changing

@Therivox, I knew this would be kind of doomed, which is the point - you're playing as a slayer going to the middle of the wastes to a place called Karak Dum
Malakai is uniquely designed to be an effective nomadic faction, so try to survive!

Nice if you really want a challenge, but not really fun to have Archeaon and Astrogoth teaming up on you from turn 10. Campain lasted until turn 20.
Using this knowledge, I suppose you can turtle your starting area until you have tier 3 walls on all 4 settlements when attempting to venture further, but that's not my cup of tea.

Missions sometimes still ask to go to the area around Karak Vlag, which is very far down the list of priorities in this start.

Just to confirm, this works on the latest Campaign AI BETA #2

Being surrounded by chaos dogs is just what the slayer engineer needs to test his munitions

All good! It still works fine, albeit ofc now Ferrik being there also is very odd since they got hacked out. I just figured it was worth pointing out that this is a VERY different spot with it being Arbaal's intended province.

@Daverin2112, I'll do some testing when IRL stuff lets up but I suspect that changing some starting enemies will be enough to alleviate the pressure. I really want to avoid changing too much for the sake of compatibility

Will be curious if you want this to remain the exact same, since this all but forces an elim match between Arbaal and Malakai after DLC. Not that this is unprecedented, but even Teclis v Kairos nominally leaves space to pretend it isn't gonna happen, loool.
