1.4b is save game compatible with 1.3b as long as you don't copy over common\objectives.txt .
1.5 is up. Since filefront is still down, I added a mirror to mediafire.
Have fun.

I was a bit disappointed with the distribution of province upgrades at game start. The building text file gives specific nations (Byzantium) and religions many buildings in all provinces. I made some alterations myself, but perhaps this will be more historically accurate and updated more often if you decide to integrate it into your mod.
Ah, I suppose the penalties are all pretty annoying, since its a heck of a lot harder to grab good men.
All the random women, even my further kin, are simply unimportant. That is it with their chances for bringing men into my court. Could they... take other things into account for their decision? Or is this going to be absolute?
In perspective, my kingdom is run by women. Men go and play at war, while the women keep things running back home. Never around to do their duties, if I forgot to give em a job after I appoint them.)
Any chance at least to reduce the penalty, including the ruler penalty when laws are absolute-cognatic? Except for the church one... (Even the women I put into these prestigious positions hate me for it.)
Just for the case you don't know: Localisation files work like songlists - you can put your custom localisations into their own files. Stick them into "bga.csv", for example, and they will work. Found out about it when I tried that successfully with the Council Shuffle mod.
Just a idea I had not sure if you can mod it in would be nice do.
If after you raised the levy the first time in a war for every time after that their would be a major hit to vassal relations so if HRE did this like 3 or 4 times every vassal would want to revolt would like to see this because the major empires keep bringing up new 10k armies with no problem and levies never run out

Yay, 1.5! :happy:
Also I like what drake000666 said. The rate at which the levies replenish can be quite annoying at times.
That would also make for more decisive battles IMO. Right now it means absolutely nothing when I pitch in all my money for mercs to get that 6.000 man strong Danish army off my back, if they can field another stack of similar size in the time it takes them to ship them over to my doorstep in Wales.
I mean, I do get warscore for that victory, sure, but the effect is hardly ever enough to press for a favourable peace deal before the next stack arrives.

Was this reply about my suggestions on characters with a clerical education, court chaplains and bishops?
I ask, because I don't see any change about them in the change log for 1.5.
Damn, GAGA, stop releasing awesome updates so fast! I need to play this game! xD
Are you considering expanding heresies to be more than stumbling blocks? Adding stuff like allowing Cathar, Lollards etc to set up their own Pope, Monophysites to establish their own Patriarchy etc? At the moment, it's very threadbare.
I think he meant he added it onto his todo list.
EDIT: Things you should add, definitely: Tartans, Cities of 1066 (makes it so Spain doesn't easily steamroll the Muslims).

Tell me about it, I'm still committed to my 1.2 game, even though I really really want to play with all these awesome updates
I think this should be a Paradox issue but is there any way to separate Ambitions and Plots? So that, you can have an ambition and plot at the same time. They are both two very different things, plots are short-term and ambitions are longer term goals. Sometimes, the AI doesn't plot because they are "Amass Wealth", doesn't make sense to me. Ambitions and plots don't seems to be fleshed out much and one of the more disappointing aspect of the original game.
- Characters with theological education will now be less likely to receive the "get married" ambition.Was this reply about my suggestions on characters with a clerical education, court chaplains and bishops?

And I think I found a small mistake - in 1.6, priests will now lose an active marry ambition.
Better province setup might be added later.
I will add a condition that will remove the penalty with enough cultural flexibility.
Unless there is an on-action for that, I doubt I can add it.If after you raised the levy the first time in a war for every time after that their would be a major hit to vassal relations so if HRE did this like 3 or 4 times every vassal would want to revolt
I have already increased the levy regeneration penalty for being at war - although I am not sure if it works correctly, it could be a province scoped modifier... :<
Setting it too low would be gamey, though. Imagine a human player DOWing the Byzantine Empire just to reduce it's unit regeneration speed so the muslims can break it...
Yes, I already suggested to split the two things. And that is the reason why I want to be careful with ambitions: As long as they are in place, all plots are blocked...

Is this mod at all compatible with vanilla saves? I would hate to lose 250 years of play, wherin I united Britain and half of Scandinavia as lowly Munster (Ireland)...
@Gaga If possible for 1.6, could you consider reducing the "Pretender of the Throne" opinion modifier?
I know someone has mentioned it before, and you stated you would consider it, so I guess I'm just reiterating it for you, but hopefully with a valid reason to consider it.
Basically, the way I see, you can lower it to -30 or 35.. It's still high, but since you increase the Bloodline Dynasty opinion to +20, in the end of the day it makes it just -15 or -10, which I think is nice "balanced" prospective (which is what this mod is trying to accomplish I assume right?) of that idea of being 2nd or 3rd in line to the throne. Meaning that relatives understand they are part of the same dynasty and they will respect that, but at the same time, they could want more.. Thus if they get certain traits like "Ambitious", Envious, etc.. Than that just amplifies the fact that they indeed want more than being just part of the dynasty, or naturally with a few titles in their hands, and interesting chaos could ensue.
Well hopefully it's a good enough reason, and if it's not, totally understandable as this is your mod after all, heh.
thanks,

Probably not.
Only once I have other options for pretenders available. Increased dynasty opinion should already mitigate some stupid AI behaviour.
Thank you for not adding Poland to Russian Empire. Thank you a lot .
FTOH, how about Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth? Pretty please?

The problem is: As an empire, it would be too easy to form.Thank you for not adding Poland to Russian Empire. Thank you a lot

As a kingdom, there would be trouble with de-jure kingdoms under a de-jure kingdom. :<
