[MINI MOD] Improved Independence CB
Here are two versions of the independence cb that I think work better than vanilla. Both are compatible with 1.04c. Please feel free to incorporate this into any other mods.
Since most people who will be interested in this mini-mod will probably be combining it with another mod, I've just posted the code for each version of the cb. To use them, just overwrite the vanilla bid_for_independence cb.
1. No Free Revoke Title on White Peace
The first version simply removes the traitor modifier after a white peace. This means that the liege does not get a free revoke title unless he enforces demands in the war. So, the three possible outcomes for the war are:
2. Independence on White Peace if Liege is not De Jure
The second version includes the first, but it also checks if the war is between a vassal and his de jure liege or not. If it is, then a white peace works normally (i.e. the vassal is no longer independent). If however, the vassal is rebelling against a merely de facto liege, then a white peace gives the vassal independence. This makes having a de facto title over your vassals more important, and encourages the break-up of non de jure blobs.
With this version of the cb, the six possible outcomes for a war are:
EDIT: added a claim on vassal titles lost via white peace for defacto lieges.

1. No Free Revoke Title on White Peace
The first version simply removes the traitor modifier after a white peace. This means that the liege does not get a free revoke title unless he enforces demands in the war. So, the three possible outcomes for the war are:
- Vassal Wins: The vassal becomes independent; the liege loses prestige/crown authority.
- White Peace: The vassal does not become independent and loses prestige.
- Liege Wins: The vassal does not become independent, loses prestige, and is imprisoned; the liege gets free revoke title on the vassal.

With this version of the cb, the six possible outcomes for a war are:
- Vassal Wins vs De Jure Liege: The vassal becomes independent; the liege loses prestige/crown authority and gets a claim on the vassal's primary title.
- White Peace vs De Jure Liege: The vassal does not become independent and loses prestige.
- De Jure Liege Wins: The vassal does not become independent, loses prestige, and is imprisoned; the liege gets free revoke title on the vassal.
- Vassal Wins vs De Facto Liege: The vassal becomes independent; the liege loses prestige/crown authority and gets a claim on the vassal's primary title.
- White Peace vs De Facto Liege: The vassal becomes independent but loses prestige; liege gets a claim on the vassal's primary title.
- De Facto Liege Wins: The vassal does not become independent, loses prestige, and is imprisoned; the liege gets free revoke title on the vassal.
