CK2 Dev Diary #20: Don't Fear The Reaper

Hello all, welcome to the final pre-release Reaper’s Due dev diary. As you might imagine, there is not a lot left to say at this point, so I’m simply going to tell you about the new Achievements and then post the 2.6 patch notes. It’s been a lot of fun making this DLC, and we all hope you have even more fun playing with dying horribly in it!

Hospitable - Build a Hospital.
Aptly Named - Die from the Black Death.
I Got Better - Survive from the Black Death.
Scarrrrrred for Life - Become One-Eyed, One-Legged and One-Handed.
Typhoid Mary - Contract three symptoms.
There Can Be Only One - Become immortal.
Eternity Denied - Kill a character with the Immortal trait.
Not So Bad - Survive the End Times.
No Solicitors - Go into Seclusion.
An Honest Mistake - From Seclusion, kick someone out who did not have the plague.
Close Call - From Seclusion, kick someone out who had the plague.
Papal Mache - Have elephants trample the Pope/Caliph.

you might notice the old "What doesn't kill you" name here, it was changed to Scarrrrrred and became a bit more piratey.


I’ll post the patch notes in sections first and then in full in the following post so I can both keep this post short and allow you to read them in a larger format if desired.

Don't forget you can see the Reapers Due content pack renders over here too!

# Expansion Features
###################
- Revised Black Death & Epidemic Mechanics
    - The Black Death is now a major world event with devastating consequences!
        - There are many different Black Death outbreak scenarios, both fictional and historical (controlled via the Game Rules feature).
        - Widespread plague might trigger an Epidemic Blame Game!
            - Your peasantry demands blood! Will you blame the Witches, Jews or Cats - or simply ignore the peasant rabble?
        - The aftermath of a major plague might result in your peasants claiming this is the End of Days!
        - After the initial outbreak, the Black Death might become endemic and sporadically return.
    - A plague banner will appear if the world is suffering from the Black Plague or if a minor Epidemic is in your realm, clicking it will bring you to the Epidemic Map Mode.
        - Hover the banner to see the epidemics currently ravaging the world!
        - The new mapmode shows the coverage and spread of Epidemics across the map!
    - Minor Epidemics (I.e. Slow Fever or Consumption) are more frequent and spread in a more logical manner.
        - Minor Epidemics might have Minor, Normal or Major outbreaks.
    - Provinces infected by epidemics, especially the Black Death, might become Depopulated.
        - Depopulated provinces carry many penalties, such as tax, levy and supply limit, but are easier to convert!
    - Disease and Depopulation will have accompanying aesthetics:
        - Plague graphics; ravens and rats, peasants stacking or burning corpses, and even a grim reaper if things are really dire!
        - Plague audio; from occasional coughing to hordes of wailing peasants!
    - Chronicle entries for plague outbreaks and regions being depopulated.

- Seclusion Decision
    - Characters may go into Seclusion when an epidemic threatens, shutting their capital holding off from the world. In seclusion characters are safe from the disease outside, as long as no one inside is already infected...
    - Secluded characters will be marked by a portcullis icon on their portrait.
    - When in Seclusion, contact with the outside world is limited.
    - Special Seclusion events will trigger for secluded courts, i.e. starvation.
    - A ruler can at any time open the gates and go out of seclusion, doing this too early might have consequences...

- Hospitals
    - Hospitals are a new type of holding that can be accessed and built in the Extended Province View.
    - Hospitals protect against Epidemics, and help alleviate the effects of Depopulation.
    - There are several types of buildings that can be constructed in the Hospital holding, i.e. Leper Colonies, providing various benefits.
    - An icon in the Province view will show the current 'Hospital Level' of a province, and the benefits of having them.
    - You may ask the leader of a holy order of your faith to build a hospital in your capital in exchange for permission to build a castle there too.

- Prosperity
    - Provinces who are not Depopulated will eventually start to Prosper!
    - Prosperity can increase in three levels, providing more benefit for each level.
    - Prosperity ticks up over time, but is decreased by disease, bad governance and war.
        - Random events may increase prosperity of specific provinces.
        - Bringing back loot as a raider will increase prosperity.
    - A new ambition has been added that allows a peaceful ruler to increase the prosperity of their realm.
    - Prosperity increases the tax and levy regain rate of a province, while also reducing the revolt risk.
    - Prospering provinces are more likely to attract Epidemics.
    - Each independent realm of the rank Duke or above, as well as larger vassals, may set a province as their Crown Focus!
        - The Crown Focus province will prosper quicker!
        - If the Crown Focus province has the highest level of prosperity special events may trigger giving permanent rewards, i.e. province modifiers giving bonuses and extra holding slots!
        - Your Crown Focus is marked with a 3D crown icon on the map for easy reference!

- Revised Maimed Traits
    - Characters no longer just get 'Maimed', there is now an entire category of maimed traits!
    - When you're maimed you now either become One-Eyed, One-Handed, One-Legged, Disfigured or Mangled.
        - One-Eyed and Disfigured characters will have new on-portrait graphics! Sport eyepatches, broken eyes, silver masks and other ornate facial coverings.
    - When Maimed you gain a temporary trait, 'Severely Wounded', which will heal over time.
    - Severe Wounds can develop into full-blown infections.
    - Trait-specific flavor events, host a masquerade ball, become ambidextrous, or many others!

- New Character Disease System
    - Gone are the days of simply becoming 'Ill', diseases now come in many flavors!
    - Before manifesting a disease you will now gain up to three Symptoms, symptoms can also be harmless products of paranoia.
        - Headaches, Fevers, Chest Pains, Diarrhea and many more!
    - Diseases are more varied and, in general, more deadly!
        - New diseases include the Flu, Gout, Dysentery, Rabies, Cancer and Food Poisoning.
        - Characters with Leprosy will become disfigured over time.
        - Spend enough time at sea and you might contract Scurvy!
    - Diseases have a chance to be mild, severe, or bedridden/incapacitating. Strong and Brawny characters are more likely to get mild illnesses, while weak, frail, or old characters are more likely to get severe or incapacitating illnesses.
        - Injured or bedridden characters can get an offer to receive care from a spouse, lover or child. Accepting will lead to a good or bad outcome. The caretaker can choose to take advantage of the situation and botch the patient’s treatment.

- Court Physician
    - In order to protect yourself from Disease, you can now employ a Court Physician!
    - Court Physicians will attempt to diagnose any symptoms you have in order to treat your disease more effectively.
    - Court Physicians provide various types of treatment for diseases, ranging from cautious to experimental and even mystical!
    - Court Physicians will, in addition to treating you, treat anyone in your court.
        - Choose to reward a Physician for a job well done, or punish them for failing in treating your friends and relatives.
    - A new decision allows you to scour the realm to find a Court Physician, though beware of quacks...
    - Plenty of new flavor events tied to the Court Physician.

- Prisoner Interactions
    - Depraved rulers can now choose to Torture or Mutilate their prisoners.
    - You can choose to Publicly Humiliate your foes to sap their prestige.
    - When executing a prisoner you will no longer just 'execute' them, instead a culturally appropriate execution method will be chosen! A few new methods include:
        - Burning heretics and witches at the stake.
        - Carving your enemies into Blood Eagles.
        - Impaling your victims.
        - Crushing prisoners with Elephants in India!
        - And many, many more!

- Life & Death Events
    - In addition to feature-specific flavor events, there is also a host of new Life & Death events!
        - Go on a quest to find Eternal Life! Who knows, you might even get what you wish for...
        - Reaction events for firstborn children and firstborn sons.
        - Events for mourning the loss of friends, rivals and lovers.
        - Gain a plethora of new pets to keep you company, i.e. cats!
   
- Added targeted decisions and associated events to ask vassals to end their wars against each other.

# Expansion Features
###################
- Revised Black Death & Epidemic Mechanics
- The Black Death is now a major world event with devastating consequences!
- There are many different Black Death outbreak scenarios, both fictional and historical (controlled via the Game Rules feature).
- Widespread plague might trigger an Epidemic Blame Game!
- Your peasantry demands blood! Will you blame the Witches, Jews or Cats - or simply ignore the peasant rabble?
- The aftermath of a major plague might result in your peasants claiming this is the End of Days!
- After the initial outbreak, the Black Death might become endemic and sporadically return.
- A plague banner will appear if the world is suffering from the Black Plague or if a minor Epidemic is in your realm, clicking it will bring you to the Epidemic Map Mode.
- Hover the banner to see the epidemics currently ravaging the world!
- The new mapmode shows the coverage and spread of Epidemics across the map!
- Minor Epidemics (I.e. Slow Fever or Consumption) are more frequent and spread in a more logical manner.
- Minor Epidemics might have Minor, Normal or Major outbreaks.
- Provinces infected by epidemics, especially the Black Death, might become Depopulated.
- Depopulated provinces carry many penalties, such as tax, levy and supply limit, but are easier to convert!
- Disease and Depopulation will have accompanying aesthetics:
- Plague graphics; ravens and rats, peasants stacking or burning corpses, and even a grim reaper if things are really dire!
- Plague audio; from occasional coughing to hordes of wailing peasants!
- Chronicle entries for plague outbreaks and regions being depopulated.

- Seclusion Decision
- Characters may go into Seclusion when an epidemic threatens, shutting their capital holding off from the world. In seclusion characters are safe from the disease outside, as long as no one inside is already infected...
- Secluded characters will be marked by a portcullis icon on their portrait.
- When in Seclusion, contact with the outside world is limited.
- Special Seclusion events will trigger for secluded courts, i.e. starvation.
- A ruler can at any time open the gates and go out of seclusion, doing this too early might have consequences...

- Hospitals
- Hospitals are a new type of holding that can be accessed and built in the Extended Province View.
- Hospitals protect against Epidemics, and help alleviate the effects of Depopulation.
- There are several types of buildings that can be constructed in the Hospital holding, i.e. Leper Colonies, providing various benefits.
- An icon in the Province view will show the current 'Hospital Level' of a province, and the benefits of having them.
- You may ask the leader of a holy order of your faith to build a hospital in your capital in exchange for permission to build a castle there too.

- Prosperity
- Provinces who are not Depopulated will eventually start to Prosper!
- Prosperity can increase in three levels, providing more benefit for each level.
- Prosperity ticks up over time, but is decreased by disease, bad governance and war.
- Random events may increase prosperity of specific provinces.
- Bringing back loot as a raider will increase prosperity.
- A new ambition has been added that allows a peaceful ruler to increase the prosperity of their realm.
- Prosperity increases the tax and levy regain rate of a province, while also reducing the revolt risk.
- Prospering provinces are more likely to attract Epidemics.
- Each independent realm of the rank Duke or above, as well as larger vassals, may set a province as their Crown Focus!
- The Crown Focus province will prosper quicker!
- If the Crown Focus province has the highest level of prosperity special events may trigger giving permanent rewards, i.e. province modifiers giving bonuses and extra holding slots!
- Your Crown Focus is marked with a 3D crown icon on the map for easy reference!

- Revised Maimed Traits
- Characters no longer just get 'Maimed', there is now an entire category of maimed traits!
- When you're maimed you now either become One-Eyed, One-Handed, One-Legged, Disfigured or Mangled.
- One-Eyed and Disfigured characters will have new on-portrait graphics! Sport eyepatches, broken eyes, silver masks and other ornate facial coverings.
- When Maimed you gain a temporary trait, 'Severely Wounded', which will heal over time.
- Severe Wounds can develop into full-blown infections.
- Trait-specific flavor events, host a masquerade ball, become ambidextrous, or many others!

- New Character Disease System
- Gone are the days of simply becoming 'Ill', diseases now come in many flavors!
- Before manifesting a disease you will now gain up to three Symptoms, symptoms can also be harmless products of paranoia.
- Headaches, Fevers, Chest Pains, Diarrhea and many more!
- Diseases are more varied and, in general, more deadly!
- New diseases include the Flu, Gout, Dysentery, Rabies, Cancer and Food Poisoning.
- Characters with Leprosy will become disfigured over time.
- Spend enough time at sea and you might contract Scurvy!
- Diseases have a chance to be mild, severe, or bedridden/incapacitating. Strong and Brawny characters are more likely to get mild illnesses, while weak, frail, or old characters are more likely to get severe or incapacitating illnesses.
- Injured or bedridden characters can get an offer to receive care from a spouse, lover or child. Accepting will lead to a good or bad outcome. The caretaker can choose to take advantage of the situation and botch the patient’s treatment.

- Court Physician
- In order to protect yourself from Disease, you can now employ a Court Physician!
- Court Physicians will attempt to diagnose any symptoms you have in order to treat your disease more effectively.
- Court Physicians provide various types of treatment for diseases, ranging from cautious to experimental and even mystical!
- Court Physicians will, in addition to treating you, treat anyone in your court.
- Choose to reward a Physician for a job well done, or punish them for failing in treating your friends and relatives.
- A new decision allows you to scour the realm to find a Court Physician, though beware of quacks...
- Plenty of new flavor events tied to the Court Physician.

- Prisoner Interactions
- Depraved rulers can now choose to Torture or Mutilate their prisoners.
- You can choose to Publicly Humiliate your foes to sap their prestige.
- When executing a prisoner you will no longer just 'execute' them, instead a culturally appropriate execution method will be chosen! A few new methods include:
- Burning heretics and witches at the stake.
- Carving your enemies into Blood Eagles.
- Impaling your victims.
- Crushing prisoners with Elephants in India!
- And many, many more!

- Life & Death Events
- In addition to feature-specific flavor events, there is also a host of new Life & Death events!
- Go on a quest to find Eternal Life! Who knows, you might even get what you wish for...
- Reaction events for firstborn children and firstborn sons.
- Events for mourning the loss of friends, rivals and lovers.
- Gain a plethora of new pets to keep you company, i.e. cats!

- Added targeted decisions and associated events to ask vassals to end their wars against each other.

# Expansion Features
###################
- Revised Black Death & Epidemic Mechanics
    - The Black Death is now a major world event with devastating consequences!
        - There are many different Black Death outbreak scenarios, both fictional and historical (controlled via the Game Rules feature).
        - Widespread plague might trigger an Epidemic Blame Game!
            - Your peasantry demands blood! Will you blame the Witches, Jews or Cats - or simply ignore the peasant rabble?
        - The aftermath of a major plague might result in your peasants claiming this is the End of Days!
        - After the initial outbreak, the Black Death might become endemic and sporadically return.
    - A plague banner will appear if the world is suffering from the Black Plague or if a minor Epidemic is in your realm, clicking it will bring you to the Epidemic Map Mode.
        - Hover the banner to see the epidemics currently ravaging the world!
        - The new mapmode shows the coverage and spread of Epidemics across the map!
    - Minor Epidemics (I.e. Slow Fever or Consumption) are more frequent and spread in a more logical manner.
        - Minor Epidemics might have Minor, Normal or Major outbreaks.
    - Provinces infected by epidemics, especially the Black Death, might become Depopulated.
        - Depopulated provinces carry many penalties, such as tax, levy and supply limit, but are easier to convert!
    - Disease and Depopulation will have accompanying aesthetics:
        - Plague graphics; ravens and rats, peasants stacking or burning corpses, and even a grim reaper if things are really dire!
        - Plague audio; from occasional coughing to hordes of wailing peasants!
    - Chronicle entries for plague outbreaks and regions being depopulated.
 
- Seclusion Decision
    - Characters may go into Seclusion when an epidemic threatens, shutting their capital holding off from the world. In seclusion characters are safe from the disease outside, as long as no one inside is already infected...
    - Secluded characters will be marked by a portcullis icon on their portrait.
    - When in Seclusion, contact with the outside world is limited.
    - Special Seclusion events will trigger for secluded courts, i.e. starvation.
    - A ruler can at any time open the gates and go out of seclusion, doing this too early might have consequences...

- Hospitals
    - Hospitals are a new type of holding that can be accessed and built in the Extended Province View.
    - Hospitals protect against Epidemics, and help alleviate the effects of Depopulation.
    - There are several types of buildings that can be constructed in the Hospital holding, i.e. Leper Colonies, providing various benefits.
    - An icon in the Province view will show the current 'Hospital Level' of a province, and the benefits of having them.
    - You may ask the leader of a holy order of your faith to build a hospital in your capital in exchange for permission to build a castle there too.

- Prosperity
    - Provinces who are not Depopulated will eventually start to Prosper!
    - Prosperity can increase in three levels, providing more benefit for each level.
    - Prosperity ticks up over time, but is decreased by disease, bad governance and war.
        - Random events may increase prosperity of specific provinces.
        - Bringing back loot as a raider will increase prosperity.
    - A new ambition has been added that allows a peaceful ruler to increase the prosperity of their realm.
    - Prosperity increases the tax and levy regain rate of a province, while also reducing the revolt risk.
    - Prospering provinces are more likely to attract Epidemics.
    - Each independent realm of the rank Duke or above, as well as larger vassals, may set a province as their Crown Focus!
        - The Crown Focus province will prosper quicker!
        - If the Crown Focus province has the highest level of prosperity special events may trigger giving permanent rewards, i.e. province modifiers giving bonuses and extra holding slots!
        - Your Crown Focus is marked with a 3D crown icon on the map for easy reference!

- Revised Maimed Traits
    - Characters no longer just get 'Maimed', there is now an entire category of maimed traits!
    - When you're maimed you now either become One-Eyed, One-Handed, One-Legged, Disfigured or Mangled.
        - One-Eyed and Disfigured characters will have new on-portrait graphics! Sport eyepatches, broken eyes, silver masks and other ornate facial coverings.
    - When Maimed you gain a temporary trait, 'Severely Wounded', which will heal over time.
    - Severe Wounds can develop into full-blown infections.
    - Trait-specific flavor events, host a masquerade ball, become ambidextrous, or many others!

- New Character Disease System
    - Gone are the days of simply becoming 'Ill', diseases now come in many flavors!
    - Before manifesting a disease you will now gain up to three Symptoms, symptoms can also be harmless products of paranoia.
        - Headaches, Fevers, Chest Pains, Diarrhea and many more!
    - Diseases are more varied and, in general, more deadly!
        - New diseases include the Flu, Gout, Dysentery, Rabies, Cancer and Food Poisoning.
        - Characters with Leprosy will become disfigured over time.
        - Spend enough time at sea and you might contract Scurvy!
    - Diseases have a chance to be mild, severe, or bedridden/incapacitating. Strong and Brawny characters are more likely to get mild illnesses, while weak, frail, or old characters are more likely to get severe or incapacitating illnesses.
        - Injured or bedridden characters can get an offer to receive care from a spouse, lover or child. Accepting will lead to a good or bad outcome. The caretaker can choose to take advantage of the situation and botch the patient’s treatment.

- Court Physician
    - In order to protect yourself from Disease, you can now employ a Court Physician!
    - Court Physicians will attempt to diagnose any symptoms you have in order to treat your disease more effectively.
    - Court Physicians provide various types of treatment for diseases, ranging from cautious to experimental and even mystical!
    - Court Physicians will, in addition to treating you, treat anyone in your court.
        - Choose to reward a Physician for a job well done, or punish them for failing in treating your friends and relatives.
    - A new decision allows you to scour the realm to find a Court Physician, though beware of quacks...
    - Plenty of new flavor events tied to the Court Physician.

- Prisoner Interactions
    - Depraved rulers can now choose to Torture or Mutilate their prisoners.
    - You can choose to Publicly Humiliate your foes to sap their prestige.
    - When executing a prisoner you will no longer just 'execute' them, instead a culturally appropriate execution method will be chosen! A few new methods include:
        - Burning heretics and witches at the stake.
        - Carving your enemies into Blood Eagles.
        - Impaling your victims.
        - Crushing prisoners with Elephants in India!
        - And many, many more!

- Life & Death Events
    - In addition to feature-specific flavor events, there is also a host of new Life & Death events!
        - Go on a quest to find Eternal Life! Who knows, you might even get what you wish for...
        - Reaction events for firstborn children and firstborn sons.
        - Events for mourning the loss of friends, rivals and lovers.
        - Gain a plethora of new pets to keep you company, i.e. cats!

- The "is_occupied" trigger now works in province scope, not just title scope
- The "is_occupied" trigger now works for county-level titles, not just baron-level titles
- "plot_decisions" are now only checked by characters that lead a plot or faction. Previously there was no functional difference between plot decisions and regular decisions

Really liking the look of all those database fixes. I know that they're not always very visible changes (and I'm sure it was like jumping down the rabbit hole for you guys!) but it is very much appreciated!

So, question about prosperity. If I'm at the highest level (of prosperity) and war breaks out is it removed instantly or does it decrease gradually? Also does it matter if the war is offensive or defensive?
 
Is becoming immortal part of a patch or expansion?

How does one become immortal :D?
I think it's part of the expac and I believe it comes with a event chain regarding the holy grail or some other artifact or place that grants Immortality.Though it seems that you can still die through other means judging by one of the achievements.

Just being at war doesn't reduce it, only if the province is sieged. Each holding that falls has a chance of reducing the level.

I'd swear it was previously mentioned that pagans would receive traits as reward for Great Holy Wars, like the "Crusader" trait. Is that still happening?
 
Cheers for the DD Darkrenown :D. While I knew what it was for from the title, this bit:

It’s been a lot of fun making this DLC, and we all hope you have even more fun playing with dying horribly in it!

would have given it away :D. Thanks for all of your and the team's work, looking forward to tearing into it - and love the Highlander reference in the achievements :cool:.
