A Request from a Huge Fan and Modder

[LildawgGaming 115]

To @Łukasz Jakowski,

Hello! I am Lildawg and Lilypad, or more commonly known as LildawgGaming here on the forums.
I am the mod dev behind Age of Gensokyo for the original Age of History II and have been working on it on and off for a few years now.

I am currently porting over Age of Gensokyo to Age of History 2 Definitive Edition, which has been a mostly painless experience and am happy with how easy it was to do. Having Age of Gensokyo in Definitive Edition will allow me to do so much more with it and am excited for how future updates will go.

However, I am facing a problem.

The nations of the mod are more based on the characters of Touhou Project. There are over 180 of them in total, which has provided plenty of content for me to add over the years. A vast majority of the characters are confirmed to be thousands of years old, and I made sure to reflect that in their birth dates. The original Age of History II's Leader System was actually perfect for this mod, as it didn't care how old characters were and would spawn them in anyways. This huge flaw in the base game actually benefitted the mod greatly. It allowed me to add almost every Touhou Project character to the mod from the most well-known Reimu Hakurei all the way down to the obscure Fortune Teller, and every deity, monster, and Moon person in-between.

Definitive Edition does have the ability to turn Leader Deaths off, which is wonderful and a feature I was hoping for, however only leaders that could reasonably be alive during the start date of a scenario shows up.

I would like to request for the option to allow leaders regardless of age to show up in a scenario in a similar way to the original Age of History II. Whether that would be an option or a game value for modders. That would be a wonderful addition.

From a big fan, Lildawg and Lilypad
