Sorry guys I didn't update the mod for the latest update since I kinda dropped playing EL. I might look into it if I feel like playing the game some more, but can't promise.
I believe as of 7 May, 2021 this mod doesn't work anymore due to the "Monstrous Tales" DLC. The last update V.8 was made on 27 Feb 2019 a month after the "Symbiosis" update and I have just followed the installation instructions very carefully and also get a soft crash during startup.
Best of luck in your gaming folks and hope this helps, Rhoan.
So I installed the mod the way it said(or at least, how I interpreted it), but whenever I try to open the game with the mod it just closes quietly during the loading screen.
It's a crude solution, but I deleted files labeled as "affinities" and "factions" in any was and it stopped crashing. You can probably narrow down it to one or two files that obstruct the game, but I feared some files might be interconnected so I axed half of it. I assume it's something with new units, not sure.
There were 3 different .xml files with syntax or pasting errors. The output_log.txt near the bottom will tell you
<whatyouarelookingfor> is expected Line <number>, position <number>
Use a text editor like Notepad++ to easily see the line numbers, fix the first file, fire up the game. Crashes, open the log file, find the next .xml with an error, fix that. After 3 different files were fixed (Simulation\Factions.xml, Simulation\FactionTraits[Custom].xml, and Gui\GuiElements[FactionTraits].xml) the game loads fine for me. Haven't gotten to play yet, but I can now get to the menu.
I am also sitting at the last file named GuiElements[FactionTraits].xml, I find 3 lines of grayed-out code which doesn't fix it but I can't find any other line that needs a correction. Using the original file won't allow you to start a new game but at least gets you into the main menu.
The output_log.txt file stored in your main installation folder does not show the line, it does show you the file causing the CTD tho.

TL;DR The last file only has a single line missing, navigate to line 103 with NPad++ and add "</GuiElement>" right below ?<!-- Unit4: Militia --> <GuiElement Name="FactionTraitBrokenLordsUnit4"> <Title>%UnitMilitiaTitle</Title> <Description>%UnitMilitiaDescription</Description>
However I sadly noticed that this does not allow me to start a New Game since whenever I click on that all that remains is the animated background and sound, instead of getting the usual UI to set it up.
Will try to see if I can do more, until now I don't have a solution.
So i have a few questions on how to get this mod to work. I tried copying and replacing the xml files of Gui, Mapping and Simulation but the game seems to quietly crash.
1. where do i need to put the EME v8.0.xml?
2. I see 3 maps in my file what do i need to do with the 3 maps (Gui, Mapping and Simulation)? I'm asking this just to be sure if i'm doing this correctly.

Might expand the mod for the new factions if I like them ^^
