[MOD] Lux Invicta

[Darkgamma]

What characters and provinces get this?

Provinces 1 and 2, Vestisland and Austisland

 

[richvh]

Not the Faroes?

 

[Darkgamma]

You could also add the Faroes, but then it wouldn't be Icelandic, it'd be Insular Norse.
In that case, 1/2/33

 

[Teutonic_Thrash]

Do you want to link the names?

I meant to say: do you want me to link the names?

 

[richvh]

Yes, please.

 

[Jedrek]

Just found out that Chinese transcription of Alexander the Great would be Yàlìshāndà dàdì... Jeez, the vision of Chinese invasion of Europe is infecting my mind...

 

[Darkgamma]

Arekusandurosu Idaina!

 

[Jedrek]

BTW, inspired by the Icelanding culture, I hereby propose a modification of the Varangian culture:

	varangian = {
		graphical_culture = ugricgfx
		color = { 0.4 0.55 0.5 }

		male_names = {
			Alexander_Alexander Arnfast
			Áki Ásbjôrn Ásgautr Áskell Ásmundar Ásmundr 
			Bjarnar Bjórsteinn Bryachislav_Bretislaus Báulfr
			Davyd_David Dobrynya

			Yaropolk_Yaropolk Yaroslav_Jaroslav Yuri_George 
		}
		female_names = {
			Allogia Anastasia_Anastasia Anna_Anna 
			Elisaveta_Elisabeth Eufemia_Euphemia Eupraxia
			Helga_Helga
			Ingeborg Irene_Irene
			Malmfred Marina Málfrídr 
			Olava Olga_Helga 
			Predslava Premyslava 
			Rogneda 
			Xenia 
			Zbyslava
		}

		male_patronym = "ssyn"
		female_patronym = "sdoch"
		prefix = no

		modifier = default_culture_modifier
	}

I mostly cleared the list up; removed doubled names (could you believe Rurik was listed three times? As Riurik, Rorik, Rurik), removed some misplaced names (Rogneda is by no means a male name) and added a couple to reflect antique influence on Varyags why settled in Persia (Alexander, Phillip). I'd be most grateful if some Nord would check the list up if I messed with the names' translation - I used Icelandic Wiki, but I don't know how much this language differs from old Norse.

I also propose a change to patrynomics - instead of just copying Russian "-ich", maybe the Varyags could follow the Nordic tradition of using "-sson", but slavicised to "-ssyn" and "-sdoch"? This way we'd get names like Ingvarr Rurikssyn or Helga Ingvarrsdoch - at least to my ear, they manage to capture the middle-ground character of ths culture.

 

[Darkgamma]

Could you at least replace the "Ô" with "Ö" (ö) and "z" in the Norse names with "s"?

 

[Bad_Haggis]

I don't mind Rurik being there thrice, quite a few Vannila cultures have multiple spellings of the same name.

 

[Teutonic_Thrash]

I used Icelandic Wiki, but I don't know how much this language differs from old Norse.

Not very much, so using that Wiki should be fine.

Copy and Paste it over what's already there, although make a back-up first.

Hi, since i reinstall CK2, i cant even load the game with this mod ...
I try with others mods and everything is OK, but when I load the game with Lux Invicta, ... the game just dont load. No error message, nothing

Ok maybe i'm very tired because i just forgot to download the latest patch ...

 

[Tsar Monarchist]

I mostly cleared the list up; removed doubled names (could you believe Rurik was listed three times? As Riurik, Rorik, Rurik), ...

Well, you didn't need to. Actually, it's a nice feature to have different forms of the same name. I've done similar for some (methinks 'twas southslavic mostly) cultures already.

And about patronymics... Better dare not to name your son Sukin...

 

[Jedrek]

A purely Slavic pun, indeed XD OK then, I'll give up my attempt to modify the Varangian culture for now and switch back to filling up the historical gaps.

 

[keytool]

Wondering if someone could tell me how to change the way the Egyptians and Levantines name their duchies/kingdoms? As of now only Andalusians and Persians dynastically name their titles in LI, I guess something left over from Shay older versions.
Also has anyone thought about lower the Caliph title to ducal like in vanilla, name the Fatimids Sultans of Egypt, Abbasids Sultans of Mesopotamia. Just an idea
And all my flags are messed up and misplaced. I tried deleting the Lux file in my documents and redownloading Lux but neither work

 

[richvh]

Are you using any other mods?

Shaytana's title setup is Holy Writ, we're not going to touch it (except maybe for redoing East Africa following his preview.)

You can try playing around with dynasty_title_names = yes/no and see if you can get dynastic naming working for your desired cultures/states. It looks like vanilla applied dynasty_titled_names = yes to specific cultures, then turned it off using dynasty_titled_names = no for specific states. Looks like Shay never did that.

 

[keytool]

Ha! I was... At the very bottom of the list CK2+ was checked. Lol, thanks. I'll try the dynastic naming thing.

 

[Imperator1993]

So will a history be written for Syria to give the Seleucids there proper regal numerals?

 

[richvh]

My concrete proposals:
- in triggered modifiers, a "Controls the Pentarchy" giving +0.5 monthly piety / +0.1 morale / +5 church opinion as soon as you control the pentarchy
- access to a decision "Re-unite fragmented faith" which gives:
(1) a flag to all same religious group provinces, which itself generates:
* 5-year increase of 5% of revolt risk
* possibility to convert to the controler's religion: base chance around 20% with bonii based on State Learning: +5% chance every 5 State Learning. Once a province is tested, it gets a flag never to be tested again
(2) I am not sure how concretely to give a 25-year boost in conversion through Religious advisor, but a significant boost of +5% or double would be in order

I tried to make a triggered modifier that activated when someone controlled all 4 pentarchies with this:

controls_pentarchy = {
	potential = {
		is_ruler = yes
		OR = {
			religion = pelagian
			religion = semipelagian
			religion = audianist
			religion = orthodox
			religion = miaphysite
			religion = monophysite
			religion = nestorian
			religion = monothelite
			religion = apollinarist
			religion = docetist
			religion = melkite
			religion = arian
			religion = sabellianist
			religion = adoptionist
			religion_group = neoplato_group
			religion_group = sol_group
			religion_group = graecoroman_group
			religion_group = mithra_group
		}
	}
	trigger = {
		completely_controls = c_roma
		completely_controls = c_jerusalem
		completely_controls = c_alexandria
		completely_controls = c_tunis
	}

	monthly_character_piety = 0.5
	land_morale = 0.1
	church_opinion = 5
}

but it just lags the game out. I need a better solution. Maybe use an event_modifier set in the events (all 35x4 of them) that give prestige for taking control of a pentarchy city, and reset it if he loses control (in the other 35x4 events.)

As for the lord_spiritual's conversion chance increase, best solution I can see is giving the character who reunites the faith an event_modifier, which is used as a factor in his lord_spiritual's inquisition task's conversion event's MTTH.
