Whatever happened to the Baqt?

[TapirusAugustus]

I was hoping to start a new Makuria game, but noticed that the "Violate Baqt" decision doesn't seem to exist anymore. Is there a way to get it back?

The Baqt has been removed from EMF, I believe.

That's a shame. It was a good, historically accurate feature right? Maybe it was causing some kind of balance issue? Or the AI just never broke it so that area was left very stale and uninteresting during the game? I think it's a cool feature.

Oh no, the AI broke it all the time, but that never removed any of the modifiers, giving East Africa a never-ending stream of income. Until it can be replaced with a sturdier and more foolproof mechanic, the Baqt as we know it will not be included.

Is there a reasonably simple way of modding it back in?
