Caravaneers and Nomads coexist

Mod is currently not compatible to Stellaris. Last tested working version is 3.6

need update?

3.7.4 - should work but the plural name might be broken, as "NAME_Namarians" no longer exists in the localisation files

This mod is currently outdated, I didn't check if the last patch changed the Nomands event file, or if any syntax changed (which could cause bugs or events not fireing).

This mod only allows the Nomads to spawn, which the activated Megacorp normally DLC prevents (in favor of the Caravaneers and their EA lootboxes). No idea if Paradox changed anything about the Nomads, do as you think is best.

I remember back before the Megacorp DLC came out, the Nomads would sometimes offer me the opportunity to purchase a huge fleet for a silly low price, very early in the game. That was just stupid and horrible.

Has that been fixed, or is it something I ought to worry about before deciding whether to enable this mod or not?

@ranma100 I think this requires a new game, since that is where nomads/caranveers empires get created for a galaxy.

Does this need to be in a new game or can I drop it in an existing save?

Makes sense, I kind of wish we could mod the game just a little bit more without triggering the checksum and preventing achievements, at least mods that are fair and do not add actual advantages. Namelists, species or even enabling things that already come in the Vanilla game come to mind.

damnit i just want that damn ship

@Kashino it edits events/nomad_events.txt so it can't ever be ironman-compatible.

Generally anything that touches /commons/ or /events/ folders will break checksum (IDK if any other folders trigger checksum, but those two are guaranteed to and are the ones most impacted by anything but ui or graphical mods)

IMHO this is one thing Creative Assembly does better with Total War, they allow gathering achievements with modded play. In Stellaris you can completely cheese the difficulty by just moving Pre-FTL and game event date sliders to absurd amounts and essential be undefeatable, so the checksum check is just added tedium.
