FAQ for Para Bellum


- Challenging mid-late campaign: the superpowers prevail in later phases of the game.
- Construction of buildings and technology research times increased to fit more accurately the time frame of the campaigns and the historical events. Regarding this, the research buildings and character skills become more important to shorten the times.
- Balanced diplomacy: more reasonable deals and reliable allies, but bad relationships can end up with bitter enemies...
- Reworked economy, to guarantee powerful enemies and a chance to face them, if managed correctly...
- More open field battles, with bigger battlefields and wider deployment areas.
- Custom deployable sets for the different factions, with adjusted durability for more realistic results.
- Realistic armies compositions for all factions.

- Active campaign AI with adjusted priorities and different profiles according to the faction (aggressive, balanced, defensive, expansive or naval).

- Seasonal conditions for all DLC campaigns, adding a wide variety of effects, reflected in the public order, morale of the troops, the economy and other decisive factors.
- War Weariness: Whilst you are at war with other factions war weariness will increase. A higher war weariness leads to reduction in public order across your provinces. Though can be reduced by winning battles or signing peace treaties, losing battles will increase it.
- Omens: Every season the omens will influence the spirit and state of your troops, so they will be a key factor to take into account before engaging in battle.
- Rebellion chance can be checked by hovering over the 'Current public order:' text in the Province Details panel.
- Supply system, whereby your land armies on your own territories will gain supply, but will lose in unowned land regions. Once their supplies run out they will start to take attrition, so this needs to be taken into account when planning your campaigns.

- Better cameras.
- 22 new edicts (8 or 11 per faction).
- Many other mechanics, tweaks and details to improve the experience. Check the credits below for more details.

Para Bellum - Campaign specific instructions:

1. Go into Options-> Mods in the game menu and enable the use of user Script mods.
