@Mr. Bones
you are welcome. btw. feel free to add me on steam or contact me on discord if you want to have a chat about it. maybe i can help you by pointing at the right compatches or pointing out how to make things compatible.

I see, thanks for the detailed response. I'll probably have to look at those com-patches to see how I can make my mod more compatible.

(cont'd)
for many mods where such conflicts are happening i did provide compatibility patches (see compatibility list/thread ). as a matter of last resort i also provided a redux BG patch which basically removes all BG culture files, making BG even more compatible with some mods where such conflicts can happen. but BG redux patch mod users would then only get to see graphical armies for 11 different (=amount of vanilla) cultures instead of 37, which is the downside of using this. btw. i already asked PDX devs to exclude the gfx unit links from culture files in order to improve compatibility between mods. i hope they are going to do this at some point in the future.

@Mr. Bones
CK3 culture files include links to unit_gfx. so for example if someone wants to add a custom english/french/hre army unit to be used instead of the generic western army unit that is being used by vanilla (=CK3 with no mods) for all those cultures then one has to add some code into the culture file. BG mod does add more graphic variety by adding more different looking armies for several cultures (like mentioned within the features list of this mod). since culture files also include links to other graphical and non-graphical content the culture files are often causing compatibility conflicts for many mods.

Why does this mod touch every culture?

@MangoFoalix
even though i already knew it had to be working fine, out of curiosity i just tested BG+EPE+BGEPE Compatch and everything is working fine for me. so whatever is causing issues for you when using together BG and EPE and the BG EPE compatch it has nothing to do with a wrong EPE compatch or something like that. it's either another conflicting mod or wrong loading order or mods not being loaded properly by steam etc. i could most likely tell you how to fix it, by conducting an analysis incl. mod playlist checkup/error log reading and so on, which i offered if you reach out to me via discord, or via using the compatibility thread or via steam directly (the comment section is just too limited for an extended discussion and analysis). this is time consuming but i want to help my mod users as good as possible. however it's up to you to make use of it or not. if not, then have fun without BG :)

@Ajey
I tried everything you suggested afterwards and decided to just remove it along with the comppatches for my current playthrough. I'll give it a shot next time I'm done with my playthrough

I just released a new submod: Battle Graphics: ZSM LITE . This submod is a LITE version of the original BG ZSM submod. This new submod only includes one feature of the BG ZSM mod: army and travel units will not get bigger or smaller anymore when zooming in and out of the map, while the original CK3 unit scaling was kept untouched and all other features of BG ZSM original mod have been excluded as well. this mod should be compatible with basically any mod on the workshop. that being said, do NOT use it together with BG ZSM (because BG ZSM does use smaller unit scaling) and do NOT use it together with BG Battleground commanders (because this mod was built for BG ZSM original submod). have fun!

(cont'd)
if you have further compatibility questions or need help, then please contact me directly on steam or via BG discord server or use the compatibility thread . so far i managed to help everybody that contacted me there. but this comment section is limited and i want to keep things clean i.e. use this comment section for announcements or comments only about BG (and not other mods). thanks in advance!

@MangoFoalix
like i said before all culture files are being deleted by using the correct mod loading order and comp. patches (those culture files which store gfx unit variety for BG and clothing for EPE etc. are the only potential reason for such compatibility conflicts).

the only reasons why you could encounter an issue with clothing might be
a) if the BG EPE Comp. patch is not being loaded with correct mod loading order or
b) if it wasn't downloaded properly by steam (can happen sometimes)
c) another reason that just came to my mind could be if you use another BG comp. patch with a wrong loading order and maybe after the BG EPE Comp. patch like the MHG compatch for example. if you did so, then you might have missed the loading order instructions for MHG (or another mod), because i stated that BG EPE compatch has to be loaded after BG MHG compatch.
