Mass Effect Civilizations - Asari

I don't know if you can do this directly (not using workaround events), but could you make it so the ASI are less likely to become a bulwark for the ASR?

Turning a Megacorp into a bulwark is a terrible idea for many reasons, but every time the ASI gets subjugated by the ASR, this happens and tends to cripple the ASR AI if they don't have more vassals, or aren't on a higher difficulty.

The ASI in my games still tend to run a massive deficit of Influence, since they are still terrible at managing the Polices (they tend to turn them all on and off every 10 years, instead of only using a certain amount).


Either way, love this mod, but the two above issues relating to the ASI AI tend to stick out.

@Princess Stabbity, perhaps you can use "if" to refer to the presence of a mod, as was done during some events and a mechanic with a DLC, but I'm not sure if it is possible to refer to the presence of items from the workshop.

@Gojira71798: They're not characters/armies as such, but yes, you are able to interact with the Justicar Order via Council Agendas.

@Dimonius: Yay! I'm happy you got it to work. I'll see if there's a cleaner way to do this (without referencing IDs that don't exist in the base game) the next time we have to push a bigger patch.

Are Justicars mentioned/a feature or mechanic? Regardless, this has been a great mod to play around with, so kudos!

Since democracy is divided into direct and indirect in ethics and civic classic, and direct is more suitable for role playing Azari, then this small compatibility edit will help a lot when playing in a pair of these two mods.

* auth_direct_democratic - it's code for direct democracy in mod ethics and civic classic

And in 01_mec_asari_governments:
gov_mec_asr = {
ruler_title = MEC_RT_ASR_M
ruler_title_female = MEC_RT_ASR_F

possible = {
OR = {
has_authority = auth_democratic
has_authority = auth_oligarchic
has_authority = auth_direct_democratic
}
has_civic = mec_asari_civic_thessia
}

weight = {
base = 19999
}
}

And in same:

gov_mec_asa_dem = {
ruler_title = MEC_RT_ASA_DEM_M
ruler_title_female = MEC_RT_ASA_DEM_F

possible = {
OR = {
has_authority = auth_direct_democratic
has_authority = auth_democratic
}
has_civic = mec_asari_civic_ascendancy
}

weight = {
base = 19999
}
}

I made a fix for myself in a hurry, it just needed to write a couple of lines in the requirements for asari civic for new gov type in ethics and civic classic.
I am sure that it will not be a problem both when playing with this mod and without it, but it will allow you not to multiply compatibility mods.
In 01_mec_asari_civics, i add:
possible = {
authority = {
OR = {
value = auth_democratic
value = auth_oligarchic
value = auth_direct_democratic
}
}

@Dimonius: I can look into it, but can't make any short-term promises. I'm focusing on other projects at the moment. That said, the mod already has its own implementation of government mechanics so a third party mod doesn't seem necessary?

Is it possible to ask for built-in compatibility with Ethics and Civics Classic? There is direct democracy as a form of government, but it blocks the civic of asari.

Would love to see the Quarian's again!
