Every State Independent – Equestria at War
This is a version of Every State Independent mod that uses Equestria at War map. Though this doesn’t use anything from the original ESI mod, only the main idea behind is the same. Most importantly, this mod doesn’t have eye burning state colors that original ESI has and each state gets a unique (at least i hope they are) color.
Apart from Every State being independent, this mod includes a Scripted GUI Welcome Screen to adjust many things about the game setup, like buildings, population, ideologies, technology and more, but if you do not want to bother fine tuning the options, you can select one of the 4 presets in the initial screen: Default, Randomised, Equalised and Dev’s Choice. Mod also includes another Scripted GUI to claim, core or increase compliance in states. There are also decisions to form nations.
This is a submod for Equestria at War, so run the mod with it.
You may want to play the mod with Battle Royale, if the expansion progress feels too slow. ESI-EaW’s own State Management decisions used to be really performance heavy, so there is a starting option to disable the State Management GUI, if you use something else. Performance improvement won’t be as big as it used to, but every bit should help when it comes to Every State Independent.
