TDM and PvK Balance Mod can NOT be combined without reworking all of the AI General files. The AI will not be able to design empires very well without modification. Reworking them is not difficult, merely tedious.
FQM includes instructions for combining it with other mods in its Help folder. You can also find the same files on it's
web site.
If you want to combine FQM Deluxe and PvK Balance Mod, you will have to splice the changes in Settings.txt in each mod together. FQM Deluxe changes theses settings:
Number Of Population Modifiers := 101
Pop Modifier 1 Population Amount := 19
Pop Modifier 1 Production Modifier Percent := 100
Pop Modifier 1 SY Rate Modifier Percent := 100
PvK Balance Mod changes all of the racial characteristic costs, from:
Characteristic Physical Strength Max Pct := 150
Characteristic Physical Strength Min Pct := 50
to
Characteristic Maintenance Aptitude Threshhold Pct Cost Pos := 200
Characteristic Maintenance Aptitude Threshhold Pct Cost Neg := 5
