CK2 Dev Diary#27: Continued Converter Capabilities

[Zhetone]

I personally preffer current way, that preservers my country name. Also catholic EU4 Sweden events, does not match pagan Svithjod. Perchaps the best option would be to have a separe setting, for the conversion that will allow you to decide whether to keep original names, or convert to matching tag (regardless of culture).

Yeah, I don't know how the coding works, but maybe it'd be possible for it to see that Svithjod is the cosmetic name, but k_sweden is the title name, and so it would give you sweden ideas or whatever but keep your name?

Per changelog, country ideas are not longer attached to tag. the trigger for Swedish ideas is:

SWE_ideas = {
   trigger = {
       num_of_cities = 15
       OR = {
           government_rank = 2
           government_rank = 3
       }
       is_subject = no
       primary_culture = swedish
   }
}

There are a few more things we want to add to the converter, but what we need now is the time

Really all you need to do is just change Sweden's name in the localisation files. Then it will have the correct name and tag.

I'm really thankful for the great work that has been done on it in this patch. I'm finally happy with converted games, thank you all!

Could you tell me what a few of the national ideas sets that were generated? And were any island nations generated with some cool naval ones?

Not really. Mostly I just noted down which nations had had default NIs on the gamestart screen, then went and looked at their traditions. Lithuania had cavalry buff (either cost reduction or strength increase of 10% but I don't remember which) but I didn't really look at island nations. England had English ideas. Aquitaine had french and french was generic.

 

[ethuo]

My Pruthenian baltic empire had generic ideas

Also catholic kingdom of Anadalusia had French ideas , not sure if its because it had a french king ,

Are a lot of unique idea groups around though, just bit dissapointed my realm seems to be The only one almost with generic ideas ...

Note: All nations who get custom generated ideas will display as having 'National Ideas' when picking nation. This is because the ideas are generated as the game loads into action.

Now that is impressive.

 

[Chipchat2]

oh I was about to make a ragepost that Dynastic national ideas aren't working.

A few people were talking about adding the heresy icons in EUIV to CK2, and while I do agree that it is important that we can tell that they're heresies, I also agree that they would look nice in CK2. So, how about this; if a heresy becomes the orthodox religion, it will begin to use a new icon, with the former orthodox religion being a red-shaded version of that icon. So, for example, if Yazidi becomes the orthodox version of Islam, it will begin to use the peacock feather icon, with Sunni using a red-shaded version of the icon to note that it's a heresy of Yazidi.

But that is not how it works in EUIV, first and foremost there is no standard/red differentiation between heresies and non heresies. Nor even a concept of how to differentiate the "orthodox" version from the "heretical" one. And Yazidis as you may have noticed do not even have a red icon, why would you add one to Sunni?

I'm talking about CK2, not EUIV.

Then I missunderstood you, I appologize. However, it would be somewhat contraproductive if you want to make it apparant what they are a heresy of.

If you load the save then save and go to the nation selection after that will it show the ideas?

 

[Shock360]

Could any post an example of some generated ideas?

You could just fire up a random date, convert it and check the result. Stop being lazy.

Not everyone has access to the game at all times.

Instead of being a jerk and accusing people of being lazy when they can't access the game at the moment you could just be helpful *shrugs*
