Deus Vult Improvement Pack - Discussion

There is a potential ledger crash in the 1066 scenario if it is opened before the first month ends. To avoid it, do not open the ledger until you're in 1067.
I'm trying to track it down.

//Edit: it appears to be related to completely empty courts, so it should be avoidable if you just wait a single day.

//Edit2: fixed version uploaded.

I somehow made a mistake, Corfu (C474) is ruled by the wrong character. The proper ruler should be #42013 (Georgios Monomachatos), not #42005 (Beatrix de Hauteville)
Will be fixed next time.

*) Removed fake 'Robert de Brus' and family from ENGL
*) Moved Henry de Ferrers and family to Norfolk and made them Normans

*) Made mother of al-Mu'tasim Emir of Almeria older (can't have had child at 11!)

Three minor corrections...

Thanks. I corrected these already
Usually I just save the game and then edit in the savegame data into the scenario, but I neglected to do so this time. It's mostly a cosmetic issue anyway.

what kind of changes?

Click to expand...

I usually don't bother including every single change in the changelog, especially not the ones that I don't know the details of myself, but here's what aylo1 added:

*) Apokapes family (names, traits, birthdates corrected; now Prince of Karnuva)
*) Trajan Kometopoulos is dead (1065)
*) Future emperor Mikhael VII given nickname 'Parapinakes', traits corrected, given vassals to make him more likely to be elected
*) Georgios Monomachatos (future Prince of Dyrrachium) added -- this was supposed to be the count of Corfu in this update
*) Synadenos family (names, traits, birthdates corrected; now part of Vidin/Serbia)
*) Georgi Voiteh (major Bulgarian noble) added
*) Palaiologos family (names, traits, birthdates corrected)

The above is maybe a bit misleading -- aylo is a good modder and gives me the modified entries directly, so I don't even need to create or edit the characters: all I really need to do is add his info into the scenario files and make sure they do not conflict with my own changes.
That's how I ended up accidentally making a De Hauteville countess of Corfu -- Aylo chose in his updates for Georgios Monomachatos a free ID, but in the mean time I had already picked the same ID for a different new character, so I needed to give GM a new ID.
Then I overlooked that I had given the new entry for Georgios Monomachatos a different ID in the characters file when I edited the country entry for Corfu.
Since I can't check everything (mostly I do a double check nothing crashes and there are no game over situations, and that the DVIP is functional without the Addon because not everyone uses it), these smaller errors tend to slip through.

Don't recall now, some book on the Taifas I got from the library. That the taifa of Dénia (later only the Baleares) was ruled over by Saqalibah in 1066 is pretty certain, but the origin of these is not clear. I chose 'Serbian' because the most likely theory was that they were from an area near the Byzantine theme of Vidin, i.e. the Adriatic coast. I could also tag them as Croatian or Bulgarian.
They were likely not Greek or Italian, as the Moors usually didn't include these in the term Saqalibah.

It's been two years since I read that book... and unfortunately I did not mention its name.
If I track it down I'll let you know.

@Alexios -- yeah, a bit of a shame... but not justifiable to have him ruling yet in 1066

1204 has gotten the least attention of all scenarios, so it's logical these kind of errors exist.
I've fixed it for the next release.

An idea:

Sometimes I get stuck with a wife over 35 and no sons,how about an event that would fire if a wife is over 35 (don't think it's possible to check the sex of children,right?) with choices to A - sent her to a monastery but lose money and gain piety or B - Keep her as wife and get prestige?

I'm pretty sure BoPack has something like that (so it's in the Addon). You can easily check the gender of a child:
condition = { type = ruler_child condition = { type = gender value = male } }

BTW event "You have no heir should we open succesion for women" happens even if I have two grown up sons??

Click to expand...

Non-bastard sons? What succession law?

Eep. That means that primary heir doesn't work outside of a single court... not even in the same realm. I'll revise the event.
