[MOD] Ghosts on the Thrones (v1.3.9)

This mod combines the features of my three individual mods and more:
- Winter May or May Not be Coming
- Instead of harsh weather always occurring every four years, this mod has a random element with a 25% probability of harsh weather occurring a certain year (if not harsh weather the previous year) alternatively 33% probability (if harsh weather the previous year).
- (Included and integrated into Remote Regions.)
- Ceding regions and provinces, making client states and absorbing nations is no longer possible through transactions, only through peace treaties at war.
- Players' units suffer a 10% experience points (xp) decay every five turns/years.
- Plus some changed, more latinised names of the states.
Zipped files for FoGE containing 310 BCE and 550 BCE available for downloads:

Does this pack includes x550BCRemoteRegions mod? I assume not, so if I put both Ghost on Thrones and x550Regions mods in the Scenarios folder, will they work properly then?

True. It's a 310 BC start for this one.

Hello. Can you tell me if there are mods that make city sieges more realistic? For example, if a city has a non-blocked port, it could be used to deliver food and supplies to the besieged.

Don't know actually, but it's a really good idea. Don't know if it's moddable though.

Nice to read (except for your work issues!).
I welcome anyone to do mods also, and who knows, people might even have their work included officially! On a personal level, a End of Empire mod would be kinda cool.
Hi Pocus.
I like to do mods, for FoG:Empires too. But I'm having problems to get it to work from 1.3.4 to 1.3.7.0. I've eliminated error message after error message, but now I'm kind of stuck with this one:
Could you please help? EDIT: Got help, many thanks!

If you replace your bsf files one by one you'll see the issue is in BattleConnection. You might have made a typo somewhere, or a opening curly bracket has not an equivalent closing one.
I suggest you take your previous file version of this file (you do incremental backups, right?

) and compare them using a free utility like WinMerge, check the differences and see where you mistyped something.
You'll find bugs much more easily if you progress incrementally, as it reduces the amount of changes to check. Always have several versions stored as backup and compare to previous one, or previous-previous one. That's basically what I do on my side using other tools.

Ah, thanks. So that's the typical error message for those sloppy errors.
I'll have a another look. I have been progressing incrementally as you say, but with the base from the 1.3.7 files and then added my modded parts one by one. But will go back step by step and look at where I made the error. Thanks, Pocus!
EDIT: True, the very annoying bug in
BattleConnection was one instance with only one
/ pasted, whereas at least two
// seem needed to comment out scripts, etc. Very sloppy by me. And if I look at the error message afterwards now, it's kind of obvious that the problem is...

I noticed that when starting the 550bc campaign the nations setup is quite different than in vanilla, for example there is Dardarni faction north of Macedonia, while it is not present in vanilla 550bc. Which of the submods introduces that?

I believe the explanation is that factions have somewhat different names; that's all.

But in vanilla there is no faction there at all

Are those the only regions differing?
