Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church and Beatifications
Adds: Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church,event arc, as well as:
- Ambition: Establish Ecclesiastical Structure:
- For Duke and King tier players with different sent rewards depending on your rank. (Traits (zealous, diligent and removes their opposites if exist + prestige and piety.
- Decision - Request Ecclesial Autonomy that asks Papal authorization and enables event arc - chain that initiates first Cardinal nomination - of course if His Holiness will find it necessary. Pope will charge you some money 750G currently and they will be transferred directly to him, not only deducted from your account. If he will refuse your request, he will send you some back, unless he is greedy If refused the decision is on cooldown for few years, you can check it on your character page.
- While completing Ambition is not required, it is recommended so, as it also gives upgraded Church offices modifier : Curia. For future it will also be a building.
- Beatifications::
- Designated portraits for beatified characters. ( see screenshots section above for details).
- Every decade all eligible characters get a check and small chance for a beatification event (currently deceased: spouses, fathers, mothers, grand parents and their spouses, great-grand parents).
- Base requirements beside not being alive are: 500 piety, not heretic, not excommunicated. But it will be hard to get it only with that. Good relations with pope and some set of character virtues will boost the chances as well.
- Small event arc for beatification.
- Ambition: Get dynasty member beatified with different rewards for Kings, Dukes, Counts.
- New character modifiers: Beatified family member (other dynasty members - your brothers, sisters etc. get it too) , Recent Beatification, nickname and trait for dead characters.
- Events to cancel the beneficial modifier and re-grant it again.
- Ask for recognition of virtues decision (only visible if eligible) - Petition to Pope about immediate deceased family members i.e. father, mother, spouse, that meet strict and specific moral profile, suitable for beatification. Its highly costy (2000 gold, 2000 prestige, 1500 piety, Pope's opinion of at least 150. Realm needs to have Primate, Legate and at least one cardinal. Candidate needs to have one of the traits: Zealous, Crusader, Celibate, be known as Just or Martyr, piety of 750+ for fathers and less for mothers and spouses.
- New events for Imprisoned Cardinals
- New opinion and triggered modifiers - refused Pope demands, Imprisioned Cardinal, War with Cardinal (details in screenshots)
- Additional traits:
- Cardinal (bonuses and buffs are still subject to change for what you Guys will find most suitable.
- Silent and Restless
- Titles:
- Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church. After you have successfully obtained first nominations (by issuing the Request Letter from Decisions) , The Pope will from time to time try to fill your Episcopate with new ones as the old ones pass out. The better relations you have with all bishops (not only your direct vassals), the Cardinals - the rank of titles they hold, relations with Pope, it all will matter. Now it is fairly easy, but it will get more and more difficult.
- Primate of [Realm Name] - title of Primate can be granted to any Cardinal of your realm by you (Accessible via Honorary Titles. (Pope will remind you of this possibility if he likes you it is important to remember that Church respects order of precedence, and its good if the title is held by the Cardinal nominated first.
- Apostolic Nuncio - Legate of His Holiness to your realm, can be granted only by Pope via the event and only DUKES and COUNTS can hold it.
- Names of characters and realms as well as char tooltips names change dynamically, depending of what character and realm you play.
- If you would like to see messages when your characters get nominated, make sure you have your message settings set to: show titles gain and nickname gains as hi-priority tab. (See screenshots for info)
- Events arc "Ad limina Apostolorum"
- The initial one, started by the Realm Decision - Request Ecclesial Autonomy (conditions apply before you will be able to pick it)
- Events - seperate for Player, Pope, Bishopric Vassals (screenshots below)
- Province modifiers for capital:
- Church offices - initially when Pope grants you first nominations
- and finally Curia - upon completion of the Ambition
- several counting modifiers and one cooldown modifier - now displayed as icons but will be hidden at later stages. Small bonus to church opinion after picking the Decision.
- Opinion modifiers (Pope unhappy for Cardinals only holding low rank titles; Nominated Cardinal; Nominated Primate; Rejected Autonomy).
- To make sure you get a message with little ding on a left side, when any of your bishops get some shinies, go to Options (Esc) -> Message settings and set them as shown below:
- I almost forgot: Remeber that the events are real letters, they are scripted to take time to arrive. You can run into issues when The Pope nominates someone who is an oldie and the poor grandpa will depart to his creator before the nomination can reach him or he can die during the travel to Rome. Then you can ask His Holiness to extend the nomination to someone else or just wait for the next time
This is still very much work in progress and more like a frame for further ideas. I will be grateful for any of your thoughts what to add Thx in advance!
