Hello! I've made a list of various small problems I've seen in ES2, most of these are related to the Awakening DLC, however, some are just general frustrations or problems exclusively with modding.


In SimulationDescriptors[HeroSkill_DLC4].xml, like 45

    <BinaryModifier TargetProperty="SystemFIDSIPercent"  Operation="Addition"        Left="FIDSI_PerHeroLevel" BinaryOperation="Multiplication"  Right="$(AllianceCount)"  Path="../ClassEmpire/ClassColonizedStarSystem/ClassColonizedPlanet"/>

Left value doesn't have $() around it, causing:



AcademyEra1 and AcademyEra2 are also placed in AcademyFactions/ImprovementListDefinitions[DLC4].xml, unlike every era, causing

Unless there's anything weird going on here, this could just be deleted.


There is a duplicate of the GuiElement AcademySmallAttackWeak under Gui/GuiElements[ShipDesigns_DLC4].xml, causing 

There is one at Line 124, and another at line 151, based off of how everything is organized, I believe the one at 124 is the one that should be deleted.


There is a duplicate of TemporaryEffectObliteratorMalus, causing 

There is one at Gui/GuiElements[TemporaryEffects_DLC2].xml line 36, and another at Gui/GuiElements[SimulationDescriptors].xml line 1530, based off of how it is organized, I believe the one in TemporaryEffects_DLC2 should be deleted.


In every language, there is a duplicate of GroundBattleRemainsStandby under ES2_Localization_DLC2_Locales.xml at line 1405 and 1412 for most languages (-1 to both for english), causing

English is the only language where these differ, with line 1411 having a different translation than 1412 on all other languages, I believe line 1411 in english and line 1412 on all other languages should be deleted.


In every language, there is a duplocate of TempleOnSystemTooltip under ES2_Localization_DLC4_Locales.xml at line 441 and 902 (903 for english), causing

I believe the localizationpair on line 902 (903 for english) should be deleted since the translation is less detailed and doesn't directly translate to what all other languages have


Under Gui/GuiElements[ShipDesigns].xml line 957 and Gui/GuiElements[ShipDesigns_DLC4] there is a duplicate of Vampirilis_Mothership with no difference to each other, causing 


Whenever the Nakalim ships appear in the title screen, the diagnostics are flooded with things like this



Custom populations cannot gain Population Collection Bonuses, I'm not sure as to why this happens, but I have screenshots of the behavior

https://imgur.com/a/uqqN2on 

All of the Haunt's PopulationCollectionBonusTraits.xml/SimulationDescriptors[PopulationCollectionBonus].xml and SimulationDescriptors[Population].xml/SimulationDescriptors[PopulationCount].xml code are literal copies and pastes of public versions (can provide code if needed), showing that even though vanilla code is used, the population is incapable of getting the simulation descriptor for the population collection bonus when it is earned, preventing the minor population from being able to activate population laws, ground battle tactics, or anything else.



Last problem I've encountered is that as far as I can tell, GroundBattleStrategies.xml's Interpreter cannot use any other object than Defender System, preventing it from being able to use the interpreter outside of the said defender's system.


Thanks for reading, I hope as many of these as possible get patched!

Additional suggestions

  • Add the option to disable the academy and make it go back to how it was before the DLC, a lot of people don't like how it works with game mechanics but like playing as Nakalim.
  • Add an option to disable hacking, similarly to the academy, a lot of people don't like it and end up disabling the DLC in its entirety even though they like playing Umbral Choir
  • Custom minor faction populations spout this warning in the diagnostics, nothing I can control (from what I could tell) can fix it:

But how would you play UC without hacking?
Speaking for myself, I enjoy hacking a lot. However I almost hate Academy features from Awakening. Raw material.
