Global Enchantment Slots - 9
Human AI Level - Master
Artifact Forging Limit - Limited to 1 per turn

Victory Conditions - There are 5 Level 1 Thrones, and you must control 3 of them. That should make the game go a little faster. This was changed to 12 Level 1 Thrones, and control of 7, because 3 out of 5 was too easy to blitz.
Cataclysm - After 84 turns (that should give us plenty of time to wrap it up).
Nations and players -
Evil_Steve - Vaettiheim
Kolbex - Atlantis
Mysterio - Bogarus
pyrhic - Arco
dfs - C’tis
legowarrior - Patala
I am the only one that changed.
Diplo is not binding, except for trades.
That being said, we have new players here so, let us not be too Machiavellian.

That’s it for now. Try out a few test games with the mods in question. A good rule of thumb is the ability to take about 15 provinces by the end of the first year.
Oh and something I created that might be helpful.
This spread sheet can help calculate the gold cost of different scales put together. Keep in mind, CBM changes the Order from 3% to 4%. If you take Ragha, you’ll need to change the Heat/Cold Scale to .025 because they only suffer half the penalty from heat or cold. If you take Abysia, you’ll need to change Growth/Death to .01 and .001 respectively, because they get only half the penalty/benefit from it.
If you want to maximize gold as anyone but Abysia, take 3 Growth, +/- One heat or cold from your starting position, and 2 points of Sloth.
After you are done, please set it back to zero.
Finally, if you are relatively new to the game, I suggest the following discords. They’ll usually help you out with any questions you might have. Especially useful if a spell is pretty vague or if you want to know a value of a summon (most are not worth it).
