After the release of Vanilla Factions Expanded - Empire, a lot of you have requested that we tell the other side of this marvelous story - the story of Deserters. So many of you have requested it that in fact we made it our priority to release the Deserters faction expansion as soon as it was reasonably possible. What initially was meant to be a small mod about stealing stuff from the Empire, quickly became a grand new campaign against the evil nobility. We didn’t stop on just a few new quests and a new weapon - this mod comes packed with content to make the anti-imperial playthrough not only viable, but also oh so fun!

An indepth visibility system will track how much the Empire knows about you, and will affect everything that occurs in your game against the Empire. Higher visibility might result in larger imperial raids, less time for the empire to send reinforcements to their compounds, higher contraband prices and even quiet absolver raids.

Our goal with this mod was to make you feel like you’re a part of the bigger movement happening across the entire planet, but still in secret. You will be able to contact other deserter cells to send shuttles to pick you up, cause distractions and taunt imperial forces. You will be doing all that by trading intel - which is a new resource obtained directly from the empire via a variety of different ways. I encourage you to check the infographics to find out more about what we cooked for you!

For obvious reasons this mod requires Royalty DLC.

Q: Can I add this mod to an ongoing save?
A: Yes! However, you will need to wait for a new Chased Deserter quest to occur before you join the deserters.

Q: I’m an enemy of the Empire but I’m not a deserter! Why?
A: Two different things. You can wage normal war on the Empire and make peace with them later. Being a deserter is permanent, and only occurs when you actively harbor imperial deserters.

Q: It doesn’t make sense lore-wise that XYZ.
A: Ok, you do you.

Q: Can I continue playing the game after reaching the new ending in this mod?
A: Yes, but bear in mind both the Empire and the Deserters will cease to exist.

Q: Is this mod compatible with Combat Extended?
A: We do not handle CE patches. Best ask Combat Extended team on their discord/steam page. Do not ask here.

Ahh, I'm kind of wishing I had looked at the comments before starting to use this. Oh well, I'll get rid of it after this run

Even when information is present, it isn't recognized. There's no target. Without fixing these issues, gameplay is impossible. Looking at the comments, it seems there are more bugs, but is the fix progressing?:steamsad:

Is anyone fixing this broken mod? Major issues:

1. Trade ship spawn rate is surreal - almost 2-3 per day in some cases.

2. The starting scenario is almost unwinable - within 2-5 days the Empire sends missiles to kill everyone. Starting on 85 awareness is stupid. its meant to start on hidden.

3. Quest target spawn issues.

Etc etc. How is this part of the well organised Vanilla network when its so poorly managed.

Hi, I don't have a lot of time to play, nor do I trust myself to get far enough to find out myself. Bio secured crates can only be opened by ex royals, I'm m assuming that's anyone with a title. Do they have to be part of our faction, or could they also be a slave? I'm thinking how deserters wouldn't take every/any royals into their ranks.

hmmm so I joined the deserters, but then got the usual mission for helping a knight being chased by a manhunter animal. It said in the quest that they would be hostile on sight, but when I accepted it, they joined normally, non-hostile, and was able to get in the shuttle and leave without issue, including my pawn getting the freeholder title. any ideas? Could be a weird mod conflict maybe

Hail Mary here, but does anyone know how the empty assassination plot bug works? I know it involves saving and reloading after accepting the quest, but I just figured out if I send a single pawn there it will spawn everything. Send more than one? The usual GenStep dev log pops up. I am hard locked at the moment and I do not want to give up on this run because of a terribly timed crash + not knowing you can't save at all after accepting those quests.

theres a dev action to generate a plot mission, and it looks like I can keep going using that, but theres no way to complete the baron one since its bugged.

+1 on the gravships bugging out plots, I cant start any more after Baron, and I did build my gravship right after the last plot to escape divine inferno. Hope they look into this, was really excited to play odyssey hit and run with the deserters.
