Description:
"Enmity" is a new tradition added in 3.9, while "Eclipse" is a sub tradition under the "Enmity" tradition tree, but it was buggy.

Features:

According to the description, if you win a ‘humiliating war’, each rival will give you a 2% output bonus. But in reality, each rival will give you a 20% bonus instead. This makes it very overpowered. If you have 5 rivals, then this will be a 100% bonus after winning. As a result, you will continue to wage wars for this advantage. But returning to the correct design, when you have 5 rivals, winning a war will only give you a 10% bonus, which is extremely uneconomical to launch a war for.

So this has become a tradition driven by bugs, without which it would be meaningless. But a game should not be running based on bugs. So this is an incorrect design, and it is also the content that this mod fixes.

In Reasonable Eclipse Tradition:
Regardless of whether or not to launch a ‘humiliating War’, each rival will give you a static 1.5% output bonus, which makes it a slightly useful tradition even without wars.
Choosing to launch a war and win the war will bring an additional 6% bonus from each rival, which is a relatively strong but not too disruptive bonus. So, you should weigh carefully whether to stay on basic bonuses or take risks to earn war commissions.

Sorting order and conflicts:
  • Can be put anywhere
  • All mods modified Eclipse tradtion will conflict with this mod.

If PDX is thoughtful enough, hopefully I think they may modify this tradition according to my design.
