Gift of the Neighle Submod Teaser Three: LONG LIVE THE KING
Despite High School starting up again and stuff, I have been able to get a lot of work done on the Maregpyt Submod! The Monarchist path is still work in progress, but the main body of the tree is finished, really all that's left is coding some effects and localization. Anyways, let's start off with the lore, which is mostly based on the comics:
I have no idea how to program a start screen, so I just used events that appear after you complete the first focus in the starting tree. Also apologizes about any bad grammar on the events, I have not edited these yet. Anyways, on to the monarchist path!
The path is unlocked through an event chain, detailed in a previous teaser: https://www.reddit.com/r/equestriaatwar/comments/1vfchcd/gift_of_the_neighle_submod_teaser_2/
The path mostly focuses on removing the negative effects gained in the starter tree and cementing King Kefir's rule, in addition, the 'Loyal Protectors' focus unlocks Knights Divisions
The Monarchist Path shares a foreign policy branch with Somnambula's path. The Foreign Policy branch has also been expanded to allow you to protect countries in Southwest Zeberica from Abyssinia and Saddle Arabia and eventually invade Arabia. You can also puppet Azir through the 'Foothold in the Zebhara' focus. All of the focuses in the Gulf Defense Branch involve puppeting various countries. I will also add a branch for war with Zar-Hay and the Storm Kingdom, but that's WIP.
The first part of the Monarchist tree is important for lessening the social issues that plague Maregypt. Although the Left and Right maybe subdued, the people of Maregypt are still illiterate and poor, the country is behind technology, and the government is divided. Thankfully, you can use the vast oils fields of Maregpyt to create jobs to lower poverty and aid from your Equestrian allies to boost your research and you can start literacy programs to teach the ponies to read. Finally, you can also choose to either remain an Oligarchy controlled by the wealthy Knights of Maregypt, start up a form of Managed Democracy with King Kefir as the executive, or Kefir can Embrace absolutism. Each comes with it's benefits and trade-offs.
The lower part of the tree removes the legacy of the storm, make you an oil juggernaut, and cores Ovingoland. You'll also be able to help Equestrian in the Great War by constructing a oil pipeline across the Celestial Sea.
Finally, Kefir is lonely and single, so you'll be able to pull a sombra and choose one of three ponies for him to marry, the Maregyptian General Corktantinople, the Emir of Osqat Warda Bint Sakhr, or Princess Zaida of Aesterlonia**.**
Corktantinople grants Army buffs, Warda grants industry buffs, and Zaida grants politcal buffs, but I would follow my heart and pick ZAIDA GOD DAMN IT,
Also, if you marry Zaida or Warda, you gain a personal union with the country they lead and their country gets a unique flag!
How you not have Zarishat's Colthage not collapse?
So I want to do the Dengist Zarishat path, but when I do it, the covenant always spawns and she leaves, which I don't want. Come somepony please give me a guide on how to prevent it all from falling apart? (Image by Moonatik)
(Edit, sorry about the grammar, I meant How do you not have Zarishat's Colthage Collapse

Gift of the Neighle Submod Teaser 2
I'm proud to announce the Gift of the Neighle Submod is in full swing! The first of the two Harmony Paths is almost done, all that it needs are decisions and event writing. Anyways, here's the focus tree!
You might have noticed the first focus is called 'The king is dead' that's because the way you unlock paths in this mod is by an event triggered by the focus from the previous teaser, 'A night in the palace'
Said focus triggers an event chain where you can either thwart or fail to stop a coup from the Military
Choosing evacuate(don't worry, I spotted the typo) the king causes the coup to fail, but the king's convoy gets intercepted and he is killed by the army. If he dies, he is replaced by the Pillar of Hope Somnambula
Her portrait is unused in the mod files
The first part of the focus tree is about stabilizing the Nation. Because Somnambula is the Pillar of hope in the show, she's rather lenient when it comes to punishing the Military, only exiling Far Hook to Azir(which is a fate worse then death)
The central branch of the tree focuses on stabilizing Maregypt post-coup and catching up technologically.
You'll also be able to unlock Kirin, Deer, Zebra, and other races unique techs
The left side of the focus tree removes the legacy of the storm, destroys separatism, and eradicates illiteracy.
The Right side of the tree are shared with the other harmony path.
The industry tree allows you to boost the economy and remove poverty.
The last bit of the tree, declawing the cat, has two sub-branches to deal with Abyssinia, the Greatest Threat and the Threat is gone. You will only be able to go to war with Abyssinia IF Abyssinia is led by Catrina. You can still complete the threat is gone if you never went to war with Abyssinia, but it unlocks By the Pencil. By the Bullet, however, can only be completed if you went to war with Abyssinia.
Before we pack up, I will give you a teaser teaser for the next focus tree
As for when the mod will come out, I have no fricking Idea. I will TRY to get as much done before High School start and I lose all my free time. I would say around November or Christmas, and I make sure to update you guys as much as possible on this reddit.
There should be an Evil Cadence path
They should complete the trinity and gave Cadence her own Daybreaker/Nightmare Moon path. Maybe if Equestria has a civil war, she can go crazy and declare a True Crystal Empire, making sure that the Crystal Ponies will be safe by exterminating Changelingkind.
How many crimes does Catrina Commit?
I'm making a Maregypt Submod, but I don't know how many crimes Catrina Commits that she would be charged with in international court, since I want I to list every crime she commits in a Nuremburg style event.
Gift of the Neighle: Submod Teaser
The Starting Tree, Starting Ideas, and more. Also if anyone wants to draw Queen Cleopatrot and Swift Foot from the IDW Comics portraits for the mod, pls paste it into the comments.
Achievement Idea
There should be an Achievement called 'Hellponies assemble' by annexing Chiropterra(Illumante), Barrad(Bots, and Changeling Lands(Bugs) as Fascist Hippogriffia(Super Earth)
I cried when I realized this said "You Gave us Hope, Now It's Our Turn"
How to prevent Lan Kir Collapse?
I want to conquer all of Zeberica, but Clarion always dies and the civil war starts. How do I avoid it?
