Daedric Invasions are in SVN, but they aren't working. Etienne added those to SVN just so they don't lose those. But interacting with Princes is already in SVN.
Princes cannot change their statues and policies as of yet.

You will still be able to claim Daedric artifacts (including new ones) and have the old Daedric decisions and events without any new DLC.
The offmap interface system requires Jade Dragon.
Are you sure about that? I don't think that Paradox said that offmap stuff would require Jade Dragon, and the wiki says it doesn't need it either.
I believe you're right, but if that's the case, it'd be if you can build an offmap which works in its own bubble. The Daedric offmap system (including decisions and events) is heavily based off of the Chinese offmap system.
The offmap interactions are based off the Chinese Empire's mechanics from vanilla, which require Jade Dragon if memory serves. It was one of the DLC's selling points.
Basically, you can make offmap stuff without the DLC. However, the team has decided to use the DLC specific content to build their offmap content, which restricts it to only those who have the DLC? Have they checked with Paradox to know if they should/need to include those content gates there? If enough of the content and implementations are original, it should be fine to unlock that. Assuming of course that the offmap mechanics are partially locked behind DLC and only certain parts of it can be used without.
Is there currently a method (or plans to enact a method) to effect how much a Prince can interact? IE, as a worshiper, through sacrifices, or building places of worship, or completing tasks, or converting provinces, etc. Not necessarily directly, but in the sense that your actions can provide some assistance to help the Prince get their plane in order so they can start interacting again with Nirn in five years instead of twenty.
@Colossal_Elk I would absolutely LOVE if you guys used the "left for china" mechanic and made it where rulers that openly worship a daedric prince, have appropriate stats, and are a certain age, are able to leave their old life behind to travel to the realm of the prince they worship. It would double as an early abdication and a grace boost for players that want to give up their old ruler for their young heir.
It would add a substantial amount of flavor and roleplay to playing a daedric worshiper, letting you send off your favorite kings knowing that they would be at peace roaming their master's lands for all eternity.

Don't know about you, but apart from Hircine, Meridia and Azura and maybe maybe Sanguine... I'd never ever travel to any realm of the Princes.
The thing is if you're the type of person that has the traits associated with a daedric prince, you'll want to go there.
I don't know, Malacath seems ok for the orcs but he requires a death in battle afaik and that would mean no physical travel, a follower of Sheogorath it's hands down a lunatic so it isn't too far from the realm of possibilities, but all the other realms seems like places where no one in their right mind would go. To me daedra worship it's more something where you pray to them and make their chores on Nirn to get something back, maybe an artifact but beside the one i stated all he others seems like a living hell for anyone who would go there. That being said it wouldn't be a bad RP idea so implementing t would only add to all the daedra experience.
Clavicus Vile's plane seems reasonably good if you're tough enough to survive. Apocrypha does explicitly appeal to the type of person who would worship Hermaeus Mora. Evergloam is generally accepted to be perceived differently by different mortals, so presumably a worshiper of nocturnal is going to have a comparatively pleasant time. There's also the question of whether a particular worshiper is deemed important enough to sustain away from the Dreamsleeve; while some like Dagon will keep them around regardless to try and prove themselves, the majority would probably pass on most of them as not worth their attention. The ones that do end up being claimed would probably be viewed as an investment, kind of like the Nightingales, and would be well treated rather than simply dropped off somewhere filled with lesser Daedra and told to make do or die. A valuable worshiper of Dagon, for instance, might find himself in an officers position.
Precisely. To live the rest of your life in a Daedric plane, is to pass on and potentially become a powerful asset to a daedric prince, like Mankar Camoran, Miirak, and any of the Nightingales. While you may not make it to the top, if you truly worship and see the world the way your master sees it, you will find pleasure residing in their realm, danger and all.
You two indeed make a point, it would also open up the chance for strange shenanigans were the actual ruler could potentially fight against one or more of his/her ancestors in a Daedric invasion.
all of the new dlc really seems tailor made for this mod conversion. agot doesnt have some of these features added by JD for instance. EK has potential to be the best.
