Corruption Creep

Use a mod to remove attrition since the AI cant handle it anyway. And maybe change the overall effects of corruption to take that into account. I also plan to play with a mod that completely removes replenishment aswell which forces the player and AI to recruit new unit and merge to reinforce :)

Just going by logic, removing corruption within a province should probably be doable if there are no corrupting forces / cultist in or adjacent to it. But if you're in a province that's being raided by vampires, or adjacent to vampire territory, then you'll have corruption spreading and have to deal with it.

In my ongoing campaign, all chaos factions have been destroyed in Naggaroth, but their former provinces remain corrupted, are corrupting one another, and even spreading corruption to new provinces, like a chain reaction that's difficult to stop.

Thanks for the feedback. if I reduce the creep too much it becomes quite easy to counter early on. I've found the "issues" occur once a collection of provinces have been corrupted and you get multiple creeps affecting each other.

To me I think the solution may be to investigate a means of negating creep. e.g. if a T3 anti corruption building in in the region, it does not creep into nearby regions.

I need to understand better how the AI tries to deal with corruption before I do this though. (becuase ideally I attach this effect to something the AI does in response to corruption.)

Might be a little overturned at the moment. Klar Karond has occupied the chaos wastes in the north for 20-30 turns, and the provinces there are still at 90-100 corruption. And they can't seem to be able to deal with it.

To be fair, i also had a bit of a hard time with Morathi's Slaanesh corruption early on, as Mazdamundi. with two provinces in the north creeping corruption into my one province. So maybe I shouldn't judge the AI too harshly, and send them a corruption reducing hero.

You're right, those provinces are just keeping each other corrupted.
Seems like the AI has a bit of a hard time dealing with corruption. I doubt they are programmed to react to high corruption in their lands.

But other than AI ineffectiveness, this mechanic is really cool.

Uhh no. Are you sure that's the case? If those regions were originally corrupted by Morathi before you took them back, if enough regions are high enough, they will be creeping into each other without the original source being there.

Eagle and griffon gate will be giving +5 creep to the two province's they are adjoined to.
Vauls anvil will be giving +5 to it's adjacent regions too. So despite no more dark elves, that's +15 corruption for tor annroc.

You're gonna need to focus on anti corruption in as many regions as possible to fight back the creep to as few sources as possible.

I appears that corruption can spread across water, is that intentional behaviour? https://imgur.com/a/Wsn69Cr

Yeah, doing stuff like this via the main settlement building is a pain. I did that for my campaign line of sight mod. Even just finding all the main settlement buildings in the database was quite a bit of work.

oh holy shit. Thanks for looking into that. Did not realise it would be that massive. I am eagerly awaiting the patch to play with this, NO replenishment(at all), and no attrition. And also some AI mods etc but this might generally make the game harder and make the AI not make huge mistakes. AI doesnt really understand attrition and since I want to try without replenishment it would make attrition extremely effective. Now you have to recruit and merge units so there is a cost to even losing models in a unit. Since I remove attrition I would like a mod that increases the other effects of corruption. So giving debuffs to armies affected by it etc would be better.
