[MOD] Lux Invicta

[richvh]

There isn't really an easy mode position in this mod, but you might try one of the Catholic statelets... I think the Catholic holy orders are still the most powerful in-game. And you don't need to go halfway across the map to use them, plenty of heretics and infidels next door.

turns out going viking without any heirs is not such a good idea

You should've given it some thought

 

[MylesSCP]

Ok thanks, I'll try those ones.

I've found playing as the SPQR in Rome is pretty easy, as even though you have one province your neighbors are also small so expansion is pretty easy. And once you get to a decent size most of the remaining Italian duchies will submit to vassalization.

 

[TheDarkMaster]

Is it possible to select a random Catholic nation and take some of their wealth away and give it to a nation that triggers an event?

 

[Bad_Haggis]

I do think that if Aztecs work for LI then it will be excellent, fighting off the Aztecs as the decedents of King Arthur or Alexander would be unbelievably awesome.

 

[TheDarkMaster]

I've finished events for a regular viking now. Just missing some grand voyage results now.

The Light... shall always... triumph over the darkness!

I think his disappearance sounds quite horrible. I can only hope he just had a burnout or something.
Anyway, I hate to be an ass like this but how long till the next version release? I've grown very fond of LI and can't wait to play the new version

It all seems to indicate severe burnout. I mean, Shaytana was working on this mod on a manner we would all call insane. I tried making a world from scratch, modding CK2, and adding all the files with their cultures, affiliation, etc, was really tedious and hard. Really, really hard. With all those new religions and cultures...

Catholics are really strong if you're PIOUS enough to get access to those nice Hospitallers and Templars. Which, being honest, don't make much sense in a context of "no real crusades" and no "Catholic universe from Portugal to Poland". But hey, there they are, ready to give you a hand whenever you need.


#You just call out my name,
#and you know wherever I am
#I'll come running to see you again.
#Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
#all you got to do is call
#and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah,
#you've got a Templar Knight.

I believe so. I think it would have to be a fixed amount rather than scaled though.

Just bumping a concept Shaytana described in June and never implemented... religion-based events when provinces get conquered... food for thought only

Since the mod is called Lux Invicta and there are many duelist religions involved you should probably consider (for future editions and not the initial one) changing around what traits do for people who follow say the evil portions of duelist faiths. For instance should a lustful hedonistic Ahrimanist really be losing piety for it? After all he follows an evil god essentially. If anything the seven sins would be venerated. On the flip side the virtues would be looked down upon. Other traits like content should also probably be considered negative for the followers of an evil portion of a duelist religion.

Just a thought anyways something to add more flavour to the game.

I agree entirely, a full traits revamp will be in order in the future. If there's enough interest and my enthusiasm holds I also want to add many events...Imagine you are an Avar Ahrimanist and conquer a province...an event pops up do you:
a)impregnate their women(to put it politely) (lustful trait-some provincial issues, bastards time)
b)pillage everything of worth (greedy and cash- some provinicial issues)
c)kill all their men (cruel -neighbours won't like you that much, bonus to provincial culture switch)
d)Ahriman is come! (cruel trait, genocide time uhoh - you're just asking for it now)

 

[Tsar Monarchist]

When releasing new version, maybe we could add cybrxkhan's new congenital traits? Changes in vanilla traits are quite nice, and the new traits are also interesting. One of it we already have ('Tall', from F&F mod traits), but could we use more of them? Pwetty pwease!

With triggered modifiers, could it be made so the traits Chaste and Lustful have no effect, but trigger a modifier that does, then some religions could have a variant modifier, then you could have light and darkness as opposites holding high what the other casts down, as well as many variations inbetween, pagan liking wroth and pride but not the gluttonous ann envious, etc.

This would be very cool to have, rather hard to set the modifiers up, and very easy but time-consuming to implement afterwards.
+1 for this proposal.

 

[richvh]

Just noticed while making adjustments for the integration of germanic pagans with norse pagans that there's a religion check for the ting events affecting MTTH. What religions should be tested for in the ding (German/Dutch/Frisian) and gefolge (Vandal/Visigothic/Suevic) events?

 

[Teutonic_Thrash]

I've been doing the bloodline histories for those imperial dynasties, and I've finished the Diocletian, Valentinian and Aurelius. However I'm confused as to whether the Augustan of Neapolis and the Julio-Argeadai of Rhomania are both descended from Alexandros of Neapolis in 192 CE of Shaytana's timeline?

The Julio-Argeadai descend from Augustus and his Hellenistic wife. I think Alexandros of Neapolis created a side-branch of the Julio-Argeadai.

The Julio-Argeadai descend from Augustus and his Hellenistic wife. I think Alexandros of Neapolis created a side-branch of the Julio-Argeadai.

So they'd both have the trait 'Blood of Alexandros Augustus'?

 

[Bad_Haggis]

Also anyone know what the difference between the Julians and the Julio-Argeadai is?

Edit; I'm wondering if it's possible to reduce the heathen relationship malus for different religions, like Norse / German and Mithra / Solar Imperial for instance or if its hard-coded and cant change depending on which religions it applies to.

The Julians are the dynasty that stems from Julian "the Apostath" (only he wasn't an Apostath in Shay's timeline), the philosopher platonic pagan Emperor that tried to go back to the old ways (sort of) and got himself killed while almost defeating Persia (maybe killed by one of his own men, a Christian soldier, who knows).

Julian, therefore, was part of the Constantinian dynasty.

He was an able general and a cunning philosopher, but sometimes a bit naïve. Although he survived the blood bath that was the Constantinian dynastic purges.

***

Regarding the Julio-Argeadai, would get the Blood of Augustus trait, I guess.

 

[Bad_Haggis]

Right so the Julians are his decendents in Shay's timeline and the Julio-Argeadai are a mix of them and Alexander's dynasty? It seems like they should have both bloodline traits or a totally new one.
