Extended Offices Mod

do not forget to change ancillary images names. at the moment legates have their own image like image
LegioI belongs to Legio I Legio I Adiutrix

Yes, I've noticed that and made a list for my own... however it seems that it doesn't matter, in which order the ancillaries appear, am I right? (I still dunno what the attribute "electability" is used for), thus the easiest way will be to change conditions for ancillaries to be achieved - for exaple if I set conditions for LegioI = Legio I Adiutrix to be available when Rome has >50 provinces and an FM is in Segestica, while Legio VII Claudia Pia Fidelis (= LegioXVI) will be available in Capua and if Rome has >3 provinces, then I suppose that Legatus_of_LegioXVI will appear BEFORE Legatus_of_LegioI.
And that will be OK for me.

you do not have to change anything except the line:

and I_NumberOfSettlements seleucid > 49

if you do like that you do not have change the order and you can code their occurance order.

for city it is easy :

and SettlementName Taras

just change the city name.

for electability: mostly it is for avoiding getting another ancillary. for detailed info you can ask ancillary guys. I keep it because my module for my mod was written by EB Team for Roman Governors and Seleucid Satraps. I just deleted trait triggers but I did not touch roman goverment and seleucid satrap section.

do not forget if you change EDA you should start a new campaign. the save games works with previous ancillaries but you will not get any more ancillaries, tested confirmed. I have not gotten any ancillary for more than 10 years (40 turns) after I changed EDA on a save gave.

I still dunno what the attribute "electability" is used for.

Electability is an attribute used in vanilla (where a Senate faction existed) to detrmine the likelihood that a character will get elected to one of those vanilla senate offices.

As EB no longer uses this feature, they are free to use it for other purposes. All characters come with electability = 0 by default. The effect of a province or legate ancillary will raise this rating by some number (I guess it does not really matter how much, here at least by 11). Now the trigger to get any of those province or legate ancillaries contain a condition that the character has electability value less than 11 (or whatever). The result is, that a particular character cannot obtain more than one such ancillary (unless you transfer one on him manually), which makes sense and prevent spamming of several such ancillaries on one man when other conditions are met.

At least this is my understanding of the use of this attribute. I admit it has puzzled me too for quite a while.

Hi all :)

What's the difference between Extended Offices Mod V.2.2 and Extended Offices Mod V.2.1b

Thanks :)

[V.T. Marvin]

Basically the Extended Offices Mod V.2.1b gives you legionary ancillary since the beginning of the game (Camillan era) allowing you to have one legion for every three provinces conquered. Tha ancillaries look all the same, they differs only by legion number inscribed on them and gives you the names (in the ancillary description) in no particular order, just to keep track of your legions. Suitable for role-playing campaigns that do not dwell too strictly on historical timelines.

The Extended Offices Mod V.2.2 gives you beautiful RS ancillaries for legions from Marian era onwards, with detailed historical descriptions matching the regions where each particular legion was originally raised or deployed. Suitable for those who love to re-play/re-create historical Roman Empire.

In other respects the versions are identical IIRC.

You could also download both, check the files and than decide which suits more to your preferences and install that one.

Marvin is right my own version is based on historical order. his adaptation is based on geographical order. Namely I stress time he stresses place.

BTW, I just came to say hello as I made another mod that was too easy to mod even I do not count it as a mod then just a bit modification.

I hope you all liked my mod. I will not here until Juli because of my vital exam.

so Zoroaster returned his cave again...
