Greetings! Today is the big day, and soon you will be granted audience to the Royal Court and everything therein. And not only that - we have a quite sizeable patch that goes along with the expansion, which we have dubbed Fleur-de-Lis. Below you will find the full changelog, which can hopefully tide you all over until the release later today!

Everyone here from the DevTeam is very excited about the release, and hope that you’ll enjoy what we’ve spent so much time making!

###################
# Expansion Features
###################
  • Royal Court: Kings and Emperors now have access to the Royal Court, a fully realized 3D throne room that houses the ruler, their courtiers, family, and vassals. Presented in four distinct graphical styles, each with several variations, as well as variations based on Grandeur!
    • Grandeur: Increase the Grandeur of your court and reap large diplomatic benefits, unlock new Council Jobs, gain special Traits, and more - but make sure to manage your expectations! Compare yourself against other courts, and try to have the grandest court in the world.
    • Amenities: Spend gold on Amenities to increase your Grandeur, while at the same time unlocking effects and events for your court.
    • Court Types: Select a Court Type based on your Cultural Ethos and gain benefits scaled by Grandeur depending on which one you choose.
    • Court Language: Select which language should be spoken at your court. Either choose the language of a grander court, leeching off their Grandeur to your own, or propagate the language you like and reap the benefits of having others adopt it.
    • Hold Court: Invite your vassals and subjects to air their grievances in front of the throne. Increase your Grandeur and gain many different benefits as you arbitrate on various problems and challenges.
    • Court Artifacts: Collect glorious artifacts and decorate your throne room with them to increase your Grandeur and gain other benefits. Dynasty banner court artifacts will see their effects increase as the fame of your dynasty grows.
    • Court Events: Experience courtly life inside the throne room, with events featuring those closest to you.
  • Inspirations: Fund great works of art, legendary smiths, and daring expeditions to gain artifacts; from masterwork swords and opulent crowns to the Ark of the Covenant.
  • Petition Liege: Bring a specific issue directly to your liege and have them use their might to help you. Use your skills to sway the decision of an unwilling liege in your favor.
  • Pay Homage: Bring gifts or promises of loyalty before your liege, increasing the bond between you - increasing both of your reputations. Just make sure not to make a fool of yourself!
  • Form Hybrid Culture: Meld two cultures together, creating a new one with aspects of both. Pick-and-choose between pillars and traditions to create a culture that can thrive.
  • Diverge Culture: Break away from your culture by diverging a new one; select a new ethos and change your traditions to suit the situation you’re in.
  • Reform Culture: Change existing Traditions, Ethos, or Pillars over a long period of time.
  • New Council Tasks:
    • Bestow Royal Favor (Chancellor): Increase the Prestige of both you and a select vassal, while significantly increasing their opinion of you.
    • Convince De Jure Territory (Steward): Convince other rulers to relinquish to you what is yours by De Jure right, or face diplomatic consequences.
    • Manage Royal Guards (Marshal): Increase the effectiveness of your knights, while reducing the success chance of any schemes targeting your person.
  • New Dynasty Legacy, Customs: A legacy focusing on peaceful coexistence and the running of a prosperous multicultural realm
  • New Portrait Assets: A selection of opulent headgear for Kings and Emperors, such as the Iron Crown of Lombardy, the Crown of Justinian, and the Sassanid Crown.

###################
# Free Features
###################
  • Court Positions: Hire on characters to serve in various roles in your court, giving them a salary in exchange for an effect. There are plenty of roles; from Seneschals to High Almoners, Bodyguards to Antiquarians. Look for skilled characters, as their Aptitude will determine how good they are at their job!
  • Cultural Overhaul: The culture system has been completely reworked, cultures are now made up of several different components, making each and every one unique.
    • Acceptance: Cultures now have acceptance scores with all other cultures, determining how well they get along. The higher the acceptance, the lower the penalties, until they’re completely gone at 100% acceptance.
    • Ethos: The spirit of each culture lies in the ethos, which determines baseline cultural acceptance, and which Traditions are easier or harder to adopt.
    • Pillars: Heritage, Language, Aesthetics, Martial Tradition, and more. Pillars make up the foundation of a culture, and have a vast impact on its Acceptance towards other cultures.
    • Traditions: Traditions give each culture a unique flair, carrying modifiers, changes to rules, interactions, and much more. For each era a culture progresses through, more Traditions can be added.
    • As the Culture Head, add traditions to your culture over time.
  • Personal Languages: Characters can now learn languages. Knowing a language cuts opinion penalties in half towards characters and counties speaking that language. A character can know a limited amount of languages.
    • Learn Language Scheme: A new scheme allows you to learn the language of another character. This scheme is improved through several Lifestyle perks and Dynasty Legacies.
  • New Steward Council Task, Promote Cultural Acceptance: Increase the acceptance of a culture in your realm towards your own culture. This job is significantly more effective for Independent rulers.
  • Artifacts/Inventory System: Characters can now carry Artifacts on their person. Equip a weapon, armor, regalia, headgear, and up to four trinkets.
    • Durability: Artifacts have durability, which decreases over time or when sieges/raids damage them. Pay gold to repair them, or reforge them into Court Artifacts if you own the Royal Court expansion.
    • Artifact Claims: Gain claims on artifacts carried by your predecessors, and go to war to reclaim lost heirlooms.
  • Steal Artifact Scheme: A new scheme that allows you to retake lost artifacts, as long as you have a Claim on them.
  • Challenge for Artifact Duel: Challenge those that hold artifacts that you claim, the winner takes it, the loser forfeits their claim.
  • Commission Artifact: Pay gold to summon smiths and craftsmen to forge basic artifacts for your inventory.
  • Coat of Arms Designer: Design your very own Coat of Arms and apply it to your House, Dynasty, or Title/s. Adjust existing designs, or create a CoA entirely from scratch. As with the Ruler Designer, CoA designs can also be copied to the clipboard and shared with others. You can also save the current CoA to disk as an image file, to show off to your friends.
  • Added a new look for the Duel event window, where weapons will brandish their weapons against each other. If a character has an artifact, the look of their weapons will reflect that.
  • Added a lot of new character animations
  • You can now change the map color of titles you're allowed to rename
  • You can now pick the map color of your new faith when you create a faith

- Custom loc keys can now have variants. These simply use the logic of a parent custom loc key, and add a suffix to the resulting localization key
- Custom loc will now log an error if a loc key is missing. log_loc_errors = no can be used on individual bits of custom loc to suppress this

- Eliminated some unused hardcoded modifiers
- Eliminated title_to_title_neighboring_barony and title_to_title_neighboring_and_across_water_barony, but made the other variants significantly faster by optimizing based on only counties and above being allowed

- Fixed using "current_date" and other date triggers in weird ways causing overflow. Now gives the # of days since year 0

- Make shortcuts moddable
- OpenGameViewData global data function added.
- OpenGameViewglobal data function added.
- Rally points are now consistently called that everywhere in code and script, rather than occasionally being called "banners"
- Remove the on_weight_changed on action, weight modifiers are now known to code and applied directly based on the new OBESE_WEIGHT_VALUE and MALNOURISHED_WEIGHT_VALUE defines. Usage of the change_current_weight effect will now correctly update and apply the modifiers automatically as well now. Increases yearly tick performance by removing weight calculation overhead.
- Rewrote the "complex blocker trigger should have custom localization" warning to be easier to understand
- Same-sex marriage is now supported; gender-based restrictions are now entirely handled in script
- A title/titles history can be verified for gaps using the verify_title_history and verify_title_history_all console commands
- Schemes now support custom icons, using the standard "icon" syntax. Note that the icons for the scheme interactions are still handled separately
- Setting a trait group on a trait, but no level, will no longer crash the game on startup; it'll now just log an error
- Significantly improved upon the event_log.txt file. Now written as a spreadsheet itself to event_log.csv, and it now includes the # of times each event has been checked, and the # of times each option has gotten picked. It'll also automatically write on shutdown if enabled
- Skill/trait items are now generated on every event display rather than the first one. That means if you make use of trigger_if or similar, you can ensure only the relevant one actually shows up
- The "take title" debug interactions now let you pick what title to take
- The AI is now able to use interactions with mutually exclusive options when none of the options show, just like the player. No mutually exclusive options showing up no longer executes the effects as if the first option was selected (all the send option scopes return false now, instead of the first being true)
- The AI profiling now also profiles AI decisions, putting those in ai_interactions.csv
- The custom_tooltip trigger now localizes properly. The custom_tooltip effect now allows other effects to be inside it (and thus hidden). Both now allow you to override the subject
- The game will now log an error on startup when a modifier is used in a place where it won't work. E.G., using "diplomacy = 2" in a county modifier
- The game will now log on startup if there's any event themes or background referenced that do not actually exist
- The object explorer now includes activities, schemes, wars, stories, factions, and council tasks
- The object explorer now includes global variables
- The random effect now gives an actually useful error message when you forget the 'chance' field
- The set_sexuality console command now has tab-completion for its parameter
- The trigger number_of_election_votes now uses "target" rather than "title" for consistency
- The triggers join_faction_chance and title_join_faction_chance now use "target" rather than "faction" for consistency
- The various allowed_for triggers for CBs no longer provide the defender. This allows for some significant optimizations. Use allowed_against if you need the defender
- Title keys for the title and its dejure lieges are now shown in the province tooltip, title tooltip, and realm tooltip in debug mode
- We now log errors if there's any province that can have a holding that isn't in a visual geographical area
- You can now put "ai = no" on CBs to make the AI ignore them
- consume_imprisonment_reasons and similar will now error if the target is dead
- custom_description will now log an error on startup if the referenced effect/trigger loc doesn't actually exist
- debug_log_scopes = yes now also logs temporary scopes
- mercenary_count_mult no longer needs to be an integer number. We now calculate the total # of companies (rounded) then distribute them between the sizes available (smaller preferred if equal distribution is impossible), rather than requiring the same # of companies at each size. So a culture getting (1, 1, 1) companies will with a +50% modifier get (2, 2, 1) companies
- modifiers.log (generated by the console-command script_docs) now tells you what objects every single modifier can be used for. E.G, "character", or "character, province, and county"
- open_interaction_window can now take a target_title field so as to pre-fill the target title. Note that this does not validate the title at all; if it isn't selectable it'll just not be selected
- player_heir_position now uses "value" instead of "position" to reduce code duplication
- send_interface_message now also supports temporary scopes in its descriptions
- set_title_name, set_title_prefix, set_house_name, and set_dynasty name now all log an error if their loc key does not exist
- spawn_army will now only spawn levies if scripted to do so
- independent_primary_defender_advantage_add. Gives advantage in combat when the commander is the primary defender in the war.
- same_heritage_county_advantage_add. Gives advantage in combat when the commander has the same cultural heritage as the province of the battle.
- Added support for “unique” and “pick” within random_list. This allows for the list to pick multiple options X times, and can force them to be unique. “Pick” defaults to 1 and “unique” defaults to false.
- Added support for non-uniform bone scaling
