Tool for generating Shattered World mods for Imperator: Rome

Usage

The generator is used as just another console application.

Open a terminal and run the ImperatorShatteredWorldGenerator executable, making sure that all the desired arguments are supplied.

Configuration

The generator settings are supplied via CLI arguments

Argument	Description	Optional	Default
-d --dir --game --imperator	Game directory path. Example: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/ImperatorRome	Mandatory	N/A
-n --name	Name of the output mod	Mandatory	N/A
-s --seed	TNG seed to generate Mod	Optional	Random
--capital-population --capital-pops	Amount of pops for capital cities	Optional	10
--city-population-min --city-pops-min	Minimum amount of pops for regular cities	Optional	4
--city-population-max --city-pops-max	Maximum amount of pops for regular cities	Optional	12
--city-civilisation-min --city-civ-min	Minimum civilisation level for cities	Optional	0
--city-civilisation-max --city-civ-max	Maximum civilisation level for cities	Optional	20
--city-barbarian-min --city-barb-min	Minimum barbarian level for cities	Optional	0
--city-barbarian-max --city-barb-max	Maximum barbarian level for cities	Optional	0
--country-centralisation-min --country-cent-min	Minimum centralisation level for countries	Optional	0
--country-centralisation-max --country-cent-max	Maximum centralisation level for countries	Optional	0
--random-countries --new-countries --rng-countries	Amount of random new countries to generate	Optional	500

Note: I would advice against generating too many new countries. The game may (or may not) load fine, but it could crash at any point after the game has started (even many hours later). Note: I was not able to generate more than 1,900 countries without the game crashing at startup

How it works

The generator will load and randomise the pops, culture and religion of all the habitable cities defined in the vanilla game. It will then proceed to load the vanilla countries and remove all their regions except their capital. The religion and culture of the capital will be set to the country's culture and religion (which usually matched the vanilla ones for that city) New countries will be generated randomly, based on randomly chosen vacant cities.

Note: The game will throw a lot of event errors if some of the vanilla countries are missing. To be on the safe side, all of the vanilla countries will be kept regardless of generator settings. Fixing this would require rewriting many events, and a lot of debugging effort.

Plans / Goals / Roadmap

• Random trade goods
• Random country names (based on culture. probably based on Markov chains)
• Option to remove vanilla countries
