Default TSM Foreign Relations - Better Patrols *Updated*
I got tired of my loyalty slipping on my annexed territories with no good way to get it back, so I whipped up this little mod.

What this does is modify the LoyaltyChange gained for each type of Patrol from 5 to 50.

Loyalty ranges from -100 to 100 so if you are very negative, you can use this to put you back in the positive pretty quickly, or if you are already positive, you can use this to quickly get you the Max Loyalty achievement.

*UPDATE2* As reported by SinisterSim below this appears to still be working with the new patch.

*UPDATE*
As requested, I added some ranges to the file.

10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, and for those who wish to send their Kingdom into rebellion a -200 option.

I also changed the time it takes to patrol from 1-2 hours to be a flat 1 hour, allowing your Sim to get on with their life.

Ranges are in the name of the file, just install the one you want to use, leaving the others out.

*EDIT* I didn't test all of the files, since it was just a bunch of copy/paste/value changes, so if someone finds one that's not working properly, let me know and I'll fix it, however, they should all be working just fine.

thanks! This is really awesome. I hated having to feel like I needed to patrol constantly when I was on my Monarch, Knight, or Spy.

Just want to say thanks again. I just finished annexing all the territories so having this mod is a godsend with trying to keep them all loyal!

This is great, but maybe you could make a few less extreme variations? eg. one with 25 instead of 50.

Thanks! This is great, though I'd second a polite request for something like +20 or 25 instead of 50

Thank you. I'm currently playing a Kingdom with all the territories annexed and it has really been stressing me out!

I've been kinda out of it lately so I didn't get to see your replies till now.

Thanks for the kind words.

If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll make some variations on the amount for people who don't want it so extreme, and also for those that want to take it all the way to the top in one trip.

Is this updated for 1.3? Nothing is stated in the OP if it has been.

I haven't had a chance to even download the patch yet to see if anything has changed that needs to be updated.

If anyone gets a chance to test it before I get home (At work now), and could report back whether it's still working, that would be great.

I just downloaded it and used the 25 version and it worked fine with patch 1.3.
Had a big jump in loyalty and it only took an hour to patrol.
