@ Darkreborn - the SVN version conversion demand - you broke it again!
hmy:
I think the 2.02 patch might also be messing with some stuff, but I'm not totally sure at the moment cause I do a heavy bit of editing on my own.
@Riknap/futuregary - might I petition for some changes to be made to the defines.lua and to at least the flat conquest CB?
- first, that demanding someone stop plotting be reduced in prestige cost from 50 to 10
- second, that demanding someone stop backing a plot be reduced in prestige cost from 50 to 5
- third, that the act of making someone a concubine not cost anything, but that dismissing a concubine cost 50 prestige
On the topic of Conquest CBs (which I continually whinge and whine about), I recently did the edit myself to the files to remove the "de-landing" of conquered counts, and it substantially ups the challenge of painting the map with your religion for those religions that use that CB, which is nice (specifically Zoroastrianism, cause that's my thing)
I feel that the prohibitive cost for ending plots basically cripples counts and some dukes unnecessarily - the reduced cost would still cause expenditures, but would be substantially more reasonable. As kings or emperors, you're pretty much bound to get a heck of a lot more plots regardless, so the cost scales up with the size of the realm, I think it just starts at too high a cut-off point. As for concubines, getting them should frankly be without cost if the intrigue decision menu doesn't cost anything. However, because of their benefit prestige-wise while they are young (0.2 a month for each one that is younger than 45!) they should still have an associated cost for dismissing them, to make it difficult to shuffle them in and out to get rid of meddlesome or infertile ones. I petition for these not for myself (because I do a whole crap-load of edits on my own anyways) but because I think they're in keeping with your ideas on authority, etc, etc.
@ Numahr - I think the religious authority gained from each holy site should be reduced from 20% to 12% or 15% in the defines (I've been trying out both) because it means that even with all the holy sites there's still a chance of religious disunion, etc. It still allows religions to meet the 50% requirement for reformation, while still making it difficult to achieve complete authority, which is more sensible, especially in LI-verse. In addition, I would petition that the number of holy sites needed for reformation be reduced from 5 to 4, simply because having achieved 4 religiously significant holy sites already entails a large, successful, realm.
Also, I think someone (and I'm sort of volunteering if it's necessary) needs to go through the various character bonii from each religion to see which ones still work, because the build cost reduction section of the modifiers definitely don't work right now.
Just thoughts... I'm starting to think I should get involved in doing small bits of modding to help you guys, cause I've already learned somewhat from the file diving I had to do to tweak riknap's ideas :happy:
