Is there any way to mod the Byzantine Empire to expand south and west instead of north and east? Other than changing the de jure map. In particular, from avoiding conquering territory north of the Danube?

You need the description to be anglo_saxon_DESC. The all caps is important.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure what you're problem is now. You might as well delete the events folder from your mod. Until you figure out the other problems it doesn't matter. Hopefully some other friendly modder will hop on and help you out
Btw, have you tried using The Validator?
How do you mean? All existing counties have 7 baronies defined in the landed_titles file. You cannot add any more settlements than 7. You can alter a particular county's history files to enable it to support more settlements (up to 7), and you can alter the history files to have another one built. You can even build another settlement in a province in script, even if the limit has already been reached.
So, I guess what I'm saying is, you just need to alter the history file of the county you wish to add a settlement to.
Here's one from 3 years ago, v1.07b, so only Europe. I can't find a newer one, and I'm not set up to make one right now.

before going mad, I will try to get some help here (if you can explain what happens because for me it just makes no sense)
So I have a personal mod that I like to use, I added cultures to it and in order to avoid the "Smith" dynasty names for rebels of these cultures, I decided to add some dynasties for these cultures.
what happens just makes no sense to me: I added the dynasties at the end of the 00_dynasties.txt in the dynasties folder (that I had copied and paste into my mod repetrory ofc). For the dynasty ID, I just used the numbers above the vanilla limit: the last dynasty in vanilla has the ID 1045057 (it's a suebi dynasty), so I used the numbers 1045058 and above for my dynasties. Their cultures were the cultures I had added, and which work perfectly fine in game.
well I discovered that all the dynasties belwo the "z Linavy" dynasty do not appear in game. The z Linavy dynasty and all dynasties above appear, but not the one below (I have added, as an attachment, the file I use. z Linavy dynasty is the 16th dynasty). Then I've tried to put all my dynasties in a separated file, changed the IDs (there is a gap in vanilla - there are no dynasty IDs around 700000) so my dynasties' ID would start as 700000 (because I thought there might be a problem that cause the game not to load dynasties with a great ID, and as 700000 is inferior to the highest ID used by the vanilla game I figured out it would work)
nothing solved the problem
TL;DR: in the file that is attached to the post, all the first 16 dynasties (the 16th dynasty - z Linavy - included) work perfectly fine in game. All the others don't appear in game. An idea why ?
(also I can't use the validator so not an option. maybe if you can....) (the cultures are added by the mod, so the cultures are not the problem. well, I don't think so)

The validator detects the following error:
Code:
--- Error 1 of 1 ---
Parse Failure
Path: <mod>\common\dynasties\djf_dynasties.txt
Error: Invalid character ["] at line 75, column 20
I'm trying to make a targeted decision that is like a curse, but it's not working, why wouldn't this work in the 'effect' section?
In particular, the 'any_demesne_province' construction seems to not be valid or something.
Code:
effect = {
add_trait = lustful
any_child = {
limit = {
is_adult = yes
}
add_trait = lustful
}
any_demesne_province = {
add_province_modifier = {
name = syphilis
duration = 100
}
}
}Apparently any_demesne_province does not work as an effect, only as a trigger. It's commented out in validator files with similar comment, and vanilla only uses it as trigger...

Hi to all I need help with a localization event I simply like to write a letter to a character a sign it in this way "Signed <title name> of <primary_title>" so the text above should be read "Signed Consul Giordano of S.P.Q.R" by I get only a strange list of all the character titles...
This is the localization code:
I'm sure it is possible because I have seen sometimes in letters received, for example, by my liege but I have not found how this is accomplished...
This is the localization code:
Code:
EVTDESCEoG.6;To the glorious [This.GetTitledFirstName] you are invited to\nThe Conference of Peace that will be held in [From.Location.GetName].\n Signed [From.GetTitledFirstName] of [From.GetPrimaryTitles];;;;;;;;;xI'm sure it is possible because I have seen sometimes in letters received, for example, by my liege but I have not found how this is accomplished...

You need to change [From.GetPrimaryTitles] to [From.PrimaryTitle.GetName].

The 'DESC' is in Caps but still not showing. I got that Validator but I can't seem to load my mod into it.
Thanks you! The only sad thing is that it says "of the S.P.Q.R." there is no way to remove that "the", right?
thank you very muchThe validator detects the following error:
There seems to be an extra double quote !Code:--- Error 1 of 1 --- Parse Failure Path: <mod>\common\dynasties\djf_dynasties.txt Error: Invalid character ["] at line 75, column 20
the validator is really useful.... that's sad I can't use it, but well I'll try to avoid these errors in the future
I'm not sure. Provided you already have "short_name = yes" in the title definition, and 'the' is not part of your localisation for the title, then probably not.
No, the title localization is simply "S·P·Q·R" and there is "short_name = yes" so it is not called "Empire of S·P·Q·R", it seems a bug what if the title was "Francia"? Signed, Emperor Charles of the Francia? It seems a bug to me...
What happens if you just use [From.GetTitledName] rather than splitting it up into TitledFirstName and PrimaryTitle.GetName?
I suspect that the automatic "the" you're getting is, in fact, a quirk related to the use of "short_name = yes". Just about all uses of that in vanilla would, in fact, be used with "the" if they were spoken in English. It's "X of the Roman Empire", not "X of Roman Empire", for instance, even though you'd only want "Roman Empire" on the map. France and/or Francia, does NOT use "short_name = yes", in which case it would be "Empire of France" or just "France" on the map or if GetName was used in localization.
Indeed, grammatically speaking, it is "the SPQR" -- "The Senate and People of Rome" -- and not just SPQR.
