CK2Plus - Balance improvements, more kingdoms and empires, more ambitions and plots

[Wizzington]

Their chance of triggering was changed to be more tied to plot power. It was too easy to murder someone with a low powered plot.

 

[Wizzington]

Ok thanks, 150% plot power is too low for it to happen in a couple years I guess?

150% plot power should give it a MTTH roughly equivalent to the general MTTH pre-patch, although there was some funkiness with plot power contribution being overvalued previously. I definitely think it should fire within a year or two with that kind of plot power, so are you sure you were just not unlucky?

Taking a small break from the faction system and working on a new alt scenario for fun: Reign of Princes. It's a variant of Shattered World where the world is divided into small independent states - counts, dukes and small (mostly titular) kingdoms. There's also a bunch of republics and bishoprics and several new titular titles added for it.

British Isles:

France:

Northern Germany (WIP):

 

[Wizzington]

Wiz - do you have any intention of changing the de jure lieges in the history file so that the late start de jure kingdoms and empires have altered to affect historical changes over time? It would probably take a huge amount of work, but it would make late starts more interesting.

What specific changes did you have in mind?

 

[Wizzington]

If it dropped below 50 holdings then the empire title would be disbanded.

 

[Wizzington]

Yeah it's a CK2+ issue, fixed next version.

 

[Wizzington]

Ok, I'm just playing the alternative scenario and I'm pretty surprised that we have a "Pope Joan" - yes, it's a woman. Ehm ?!

Click her Wikipedia link.

More Reign of Princes WIP stuff:

 

[Wizzington]

Yea, I Know the legend, but as there is no evidence that a woman ever were Pope I'm still surprised.

It's almost as if you're not playing a historical scenario!

 

[Wizzington]

Hey - I don't complain or criticize you or your work, I just said I were surprised, nothing more...

Fair enough, I've actually had quite a few people complain about Pope Joan being 'ahistorical' in a scenario that includes Machiavelli, Mitt Romney and an immortal Seleucid liche as feudal lords in 1066, so I thought you *were* complaining.

 

[Wizzington]

Shattered World is full of silly stuff, historical nods and easter eggs. It's a light-hearted scenario.

 

[Wizzington]

Sounds like a bad cache, clear gfx folder in my documents.

 

[Wizzington]

Hey Wiz! for Princes, are you having to come up with dynasty names for a lot of that land?

I'm building it on the Shattered World scenario.

 

[Wizzington]

where is the stuff that makes you have to sanction a holy war im trying to put that on swmh for personal use

[Wizzington]

Is it intended that some modifier, for example the estate decision, are ending 1. January 100000? I guess it's probably so that the modifier doesn't run out early as the character would live in the estate until he parts with life but still, shouldn't it just show the 'final' date of the game?

That is the final date of the game.

New version with fixes and a brand new alternative scenario: Reign of Princes. Included below the download link is a world map of the RoP start, which divides the world into mostly Duchy-sized realms.

1.32.18:
- Pagans now use Muslim CoA shapes, though with non-Muslim CoAs, to make them visually distinct from both Christians and Muslims on the map.
- Added a new 'Reign of Princes' scenario to the Alternative Scenarios module. This scenario builds on Shattered World, dividing the world into mostly Duchy-sized independent states, with a smattering of Theocracies, Republics and (mostly titular) Kingdoms. It adds a number of new titles that are only available within this scenario.
- The first generation of rulers in Shattered World will now get a special trait that greatly encourages the AI to expand heedless of risk.
- Reduced the required realm size to form an empire from 200 to 150.
- The Aztec title will no longer be disbanded from having too few holdings.
- Byzantium will now never be disbanded from having too few holdings as long as it still holds Constantinople.
- Fixed a bug that was preventing the Aztecs from using the Tribal Invasion CB.
- El Cid is now the Count of Zaragoza in Shattered World.
- You should no longer get the 'Lack of Ambition' penalties when you have aborted an ambition until you are able to pick another.

Small hotfix for a missing CoA in 1.32.18.

1.32.18 hotfix 1 (mirror)

 

[Wizzington]

The Latin Empire is never disbanded from lack of holdings, period. There are a bunch of titles that aren't.

 

[Wizzington]

2 out of 3 factions in my Kingdom was rebelious, so i attempt to instal my daughter (with a claim) on the throne by creating a faction for her and declare war. At the moment, unless I have plot backers I will be fighting the war all by myself. But given that both factions are rebelious towards my liege, I think I should be able to ask for the factions help in my war. Is it possible to mod that in?

If you have a claimant faction going there is a chance that rebellious factions will decide to back her, but they make up their own mind on who to back.

 

[Wizzington]

French king is blinding left and right in this new version. I don't understand this addition, frankly.

Also, I don't understand why unmarried courtiers of mine are getting married, especially if they're my children. I had a son lined up to inherit a bishopric, he had no titles, no honors, and yet he ends up married to some courtier, out of my control.

I really like this mod, but you've added some odd "features" as of late.

I meant to add the blinding thing as a player only thing, really. Not sure why the AI is making so much use of it, but I'll tweak it.

Unmarried courtiers can marry if they have money, but there's a specific check against close relatives of their liege marrying without the liege's control. I'll look if its bugged somehow.
