Legalism and it's effects

[david3k]

Straight to the question: how do I mod the impact of legalism tech on demesne size?

	TECH_LEGALISM = {
		1 = {
			modifier = {
				SHORT_REIGN_LENGTH = -1
			}
		}
		2 = {
			modifier = {
				SHORT_REIGN_LENGTH = -2
			}
		}
		3 = {
			modifier = {
				SHORT_REIGN_LENGTH = -3
			}
		}
		4 = {
			modifier = {
				SHORT_REIGN_LENGTH = -4
			}
		}
		5 = {
			modifier = {
				SHORT_REIGN_LENGTH = -5
			}
		}
	}

Above is from technology.txt

Nothing about demesne size.

In defines.lua there also seems no indicator of this.

can I request for this thread to be moved into the mods section? Maybe someone will know how to help me there

if you want to increase Demanse size, go to:

Defines.lua

and then it should be in the first bank of text near the bottom of the 'paragraph'.

Observe:


NDiplomacy = {
PRESTIGE_LOSS_ON_SEND_GIFT_DECLINE = 10,
PIETY_FROM_CHURCH_GIFTS = 3,
BREAK_TRUCE_PRESTIGE_COST = 100,
MONTHS_PER_SUCCESSION_CB = 60, -- Number of months a succession CB lasts
ATTACKING_SOMEONE_CRUSADING_PIETY_COST = 40, -- Piety hit for attacking someone crusading
ATTACKING_SOMEONE_DEFENDING_AGAINST_OTHER_RELIGIOUS_GROUP_PIETY_COST = 100, -- Piety hit for attacking someone who is defending against other religious group
ATTACKER_CALL_DECLINE_COST = 25, -- Prestige cost for refusing to join an offensive war
DEFENDER_CALL_DECLINE_COST = 100, -- Prestige cost for refusing to join a defensive war
CALL_TO_WAR_DELAY = 60, -- Months between attempts to call someone into war
PAPAL_INVEST_PIETY_COST_MULT = 0.5, -- The effect of Papal investiture on the piety cost of the special Papal actions
SHORT_REIGN_YEARS_END = 9,
LONG_REIGN_YEARS_START = 10,
DOW_ON_ALLY_PRESTIGE_COST = 50,
MINIMUM_SEND_GIFT_COST = 20,
SEND_GIFT_INCOME_SCALEFACTOR = 24,
RELEASE_PRISONER_PIETY = 5,
USURP_TITLE_PRESTIGE_MULT = 0.25, -- Multiplier on Creation Prestige
DEMESNE_BASE_MAX_SIZE = 10.0, -- Base Max Demesne Size
DEMESNE_MAX_SIZE_TIER_MULT = 1.0, -- Extra Max Demesne Size from the ruler's rank
DEMESNE_MAX_SIZE_STEWARDSHIP_MULT = 0.25, -- Extra Max Demesne Size from ruler and spouse intrigue
GAVELKIND_MAX_SIZE_BONUS = 0.30, -- Max demesne size bonus from Gavelkind
DIPLO_FRIEND_OPINION_THRESHOLD = 40, -- Characters above this opinion are considered friends
DIPLO_RIVAL_OPINION_THRESHOLD = -40, -- Characters below this opinion are considered rivals
OBJECTIVE_DISCARD_WEIGHT_THRESHOLD = 0.05, -- AI will not pick ambitions or plots below this evaluated weight
CROWN_LAW_REVOLTRISK_INCREMENT = 10, -- Revoltrisk reduction/decrease due to crown laws


The bold underlined section is the part your looking for.

I'm actually looking for modifying the Legalism tech so that the +demesne size from it is larger on levels 3, 4 and 5

Those lines from defines.lua only show base size and modifiers from rank and stewardship.

 

[david3k]

Sorry... there surely must be a way.

 

[Dorevai]

That is odd. I'm not sure. I can't find the "TOO_MANY_HELD_DUCHIES" modifier either (just the localisation). I think it's in the .exe. Perhaps the legalism thing is too.

 

[david3k]

The problem is that it is hard to find a way at all to increase the demesne size, be it by event, triggered or static modifier, without changing the defines.lua.

	TECH_LEGALISM = {
		1 = {
			modifier = {
				SHORT_REIGN_LENGTH = -1
                                                       DEMESNE_BASE_MAX_SIZE = +1
			}
		}
		2 = {
			modifier = {
				SHORT_REIGN_LENGTH = -2
                                                       DEMESNE_BASE_MAX_SIZE = +2
			}
		}
		3 = {
			modifier = {
				SHORT_REIGN_LENGTH = -3
                                                       DEMESNE_BASE_MAX_SIZE = +3
			}
		}
		4 = {
			modifier = {
				SHORT_REIGN_LENGTH = -4
                                                       DEMESNE_BASE_MAX_SIZE = +4
			}
		}
		5 = {
			modifier = {
				SHORT_REIGN_LENGTH = -5
                                                       DEMESNE_BASE_MAX_SIZE = +5
			}
		}
	}

Just seemed logical using the Defines.lua info.

 

[david3k]

Doesn't work, unfortunately.

 

[MasterofMagic]

hrmmm try this then:

DEMESNE_BASE_MAX_SIZE = 1.0+1

EDIT: didn't work crashed.

 

[david3k]

No, it doesn't work as well.

And please don't take this as me being hostile, but this could not have ever worked "in your game" since from my knowledge it is impossible to directly change the values from defines.lua once the game is running, so don't make unsupported claims.

EDIT: Also, it doesn't crash the game.

 

[GAGA Extrem]

The additional effects from legalism seem to be hardcoded.

The values from defines are used to multiply the base value, and the end result may NEVER be <1 or the game will crash.
Unfortunately, due to this limitation, reducing the demesne limit is impossible.

 

[david3k]

Which makes me a sad panda :/
