attacking hordes to stop paying tribute

[jdrou]

There doesn't seem to be any way to allow a CB to work against hordes. However, you can offset the stability hit for attacking with no CB. I added this mission to my personal mod:

attack_nomads = {

	type = neighbor_countries

	allow = {
		
		nomad = yes
		NOT = { truce_with = THIS }
		NOT = { war_with = THIS }

		THIS = { 
			war = no
			is_lesser_in_union = no
			is_subject = no
			nomad = no
		}
		
	}

	abort = {
		or = {
			this = {
				or = {
					is_subject = yes
					is_lesser_in_union = yes
				}
			}
			not = { num_of_cities = 1 }
			NOT = { neighbour = THIS }
		}
	}

	success = {
		war_with = THIS
	}
	
	chance = {
		factor = 2
		modifier = {
			factor = 1.5
			THIS = { MIL = 6 }
		}
	}
	effect = {
		THIS = { stability = 1 prestige = 0.05 }
	}	
}

localisation:

attack_nomads_title;Attack $COUNTRY$;Attaquer $COUNTRY$;Greift $COUNTRY$ an;;Ataca $COUNTRY$;;;;;;;;;x
attack_nomads_desc;Our people are tired of paying tribute to nomadic barbarians.  It also makes us look weak in the eyes of our neighbors.;Attaquer $COUNTRY$;Greift $COUNTRY$ an;;Ataca $COUNTRY$;;;;;;;;;x

Any mods are free to use this.

Updated to fix a problem where the mission could fire when you were already at war with the target horde. The war_with trigger seems to work for horde wars.

Good idea, thanks for making it. I'll add it to my collection. Will give feedback if I notice anything regarding the "war_with" note mentioned. Cheers

Which is exactly what makes this mod? I do not understand much, since I do not speak very good English.

And another thing: what file I have to add your mod?

[jdrou]

The mod adds a mission that may fire when you are paying tribute to a horde. When you declare war on the horde the mission will succeed and reward you with +1 stability and +5 prestige to partially offset the -2 stability loss for declaring war without a casus belli.

Put the first chunk of code in a new .txt file in the missions folder and the second chunk in a new .csv file in the localisation folder (csv is actually also a text file). Make sure the csv file has exactly one blank line at the end. Might be easiest to create the csv file in notepad/wordpad and then change the extension to .csv.

Thank you very much for the clarification

Thanks for this. Nice idea, wonder if it might have other applications?

The general idea of missions canceling out other penalties is not new; in older versions where annexing vassals moved your decentralization slider France's missions gave +1 centralization when you annexed a vassal to complete the mission.
