Hello and welcome to my mod collection. I am pleased you have chosen to use and enjoy this comprehensive setup for playing the Immortal Empires Expanded campaign.

This is a comprehensive collection covering every possible category, including AI overhaul, additional factions, UI changes, added lore, and much more. It is essentially a clone of my own personal setup that I use to maximize my own enjoyment of this excellent game. The goal is to give you a quick "subscribe to all" way of significantly altering and (obviously in my opinion) improving your game experience when playing the Immortal Empires campaign.

YOU CANNOT HAVE BOTH IMMORTAL EMPIRES EXPANDED AND THE OLD WORLD MOD ACTIVE AT THE SAME TIME. The Old World is itself an excellent campaign mod, however having both Old World and IE Expanded active at the same time will cause issues. I know for certain that accessing the elector counts screen as The Empire will flat out crash your game, and it will break all quest chains for gaining legendary lord items. There are probably other issues generated as well. If you specifically wish to play Old World, this is not the collection for you.

DO NOT ASK ME ABOUT SFO, SFO COMPATIBILITY, OR ANY SFO SPECIFIC VERSIONS. I don't know. I don't care. Thank you.

A couple of small technical notes: starting a new campaign may take slightly longer than normal due to, I believe, the mod that dynamically changes certain environments per faction needing to chew through the map up front. Also when/if you hit the predefined endgame crisis, because of the "endgame declares war on everyone" mod that turn will take significantly longer. Especially if you're using Ultimate Crisis mode which can result in literally 500+ war declarations and faction diplomacy recalculations, it may take upwards of 5 minutes or so. Most likely your game is not actually frozen, merely thinking. Go make a coffee or something and let it work. I personally don't usually use ultimate crisis mode, but if you do there's your warning.

If you run into any technical issues beyond that, I'll try to help in the comments but keep in mind I didn't write any of these mods myself, and sadly a lot of it is going to boil down to me saying "well, I run this setup and it works for me", which I know is pretty high on the list of least useful Steam comments.

This collection will see small updates over time if new mods that I find personally interesting are released, or if certain mods become outdated (I think we all assume CA is going to release a proper Nagash DLC at some point for example). If you stuck with me through all that, thanks, and enjoy the game.
