Two example for small decissions that would add flavour imho.
Historical Backround: In HRE the succession allways was a hard fight so sometimes it was decided to give the title of a Co-regent ("Mitkönig" / "Mitregent") to
the son of the current King. For example the upcomming Henry IV in 1053. This title had
no imediate effect but it was a boost in prestige.
How to implement?:
As decission
Conditions:
- Be independent
- Have a heir
Effects (when not electoral monarchy):
- Gives prestige to the next person in succession + improved relations
- Costing little gold (ceremony)
- Chance of seriously damaging relations to the 2nd in the succession line
Effects (when electoral monarchy):
- Gives prestige to your son
- Costing little gold (ceremony)
- Chance of seriously damaging relations to the biggest duke/count
What would it add to the game?:
Everyone wants his new ruler starting with high prestige but it
could be the start of a civil war to support your son/successor too much.
--------------------------------------
Historical Backround:
Becoming King is not only a pleasure, it's also very expensive!
And a King without a propper coronation would have to face serious
trouble. There are even examples where kings made debts to pay
for their coronation fesivities because it was so important.
How to implement?:
Trait "uncrowned king" giving relation malus to every vassal.
As decission
Conditions:
- King/Imperial level
- Hasn't had a coronation yet
- Has X money
Effects:
- remove the modifier "uncrowned king"
- Lose X money
What would it add to the game?:
A downside to becomming king and if there are many kings
following in a short timeframe they won't all have the money
to aford the right ceremony or didn't care like in the historical Interegnum
in the HRE where Kings where elected that never had a propper
coronation (William of Holland, Alfonso of Castilia, Richard Cornwall).
--------------------------------------
I heared that the game is nearly feature-complete and I just cannot
wait till next year (sounds so far away) for it to be released so just
ignore me please :unsure:
