Is it possible to mod in a religion with female priests?

Yes, the Norse mod did that.

 

[Jia Xu]

Yes, the Norse mod did that.

I see. Could you tell me how it's done? Thanks.

 

[richvh]

Not my mod, and while it's incorporated into Lux Invicta which I am maintaining, it's not a section I've touched, so no, I can't tell you.

Is there a way to make certain things only for someone holding a title, I.E, retinues etc.?

Which file defines mercenaries? I'd like to make some changes and add a few extra merc groups.

The groups themselves are defined in landed titles. Their size and composition are defined in static modifiers.

landed_titles.txt

For example, I myself added Sudanese and Nubian companies for East Africa, so you'd do this:

d_nubian_band = {
	color = { 90 130 50 }
	color2 = { 255 255 255 }

	capital = 793 # Makuria

	religion = miaphysite
	culture = nubian
	
	mercenary = yes

	title = "CAPTAIN"
	foa = "CAPTAIN_FOA"

	# Always exists
	landless = yes
	
	# Cannot be held as a secondary title
	primary = yes
	
	# Cannot be vassalized
	independent = yes
	
	modifier = d_nubian_band_modifier
	strength_growth_per_century = 0.25
}

And then you need to edit static_modifiers.txt:

d_nubian_band_modifier = {
	levy_size = 1.5
	light_cavalry = 350
	knights = 75
}

And add some localiation and a coat of arms for them:

d_nubian_band;Nubian Band;Nubian Band;Nubian Band;;Nubian Band;;;;;;;;;x
d_nubian_band_adj;Nubian;Nubian;Nubian;;Nubian;;;;;;;;;x

It's not that difficult, you just need to make sure you've changed every relevant file.

I haven't managed to make retinues link to titles. It seems only culture-based, which is an odd decision by Paradox.

Ok. Hopefully Paradox either changes it in the next patch or I find away to do it.

Edit: It is possible! Just add this tiny bit of code into the retinue and it's created.

	ROOT = {
		title_holder = *titlenamehere*

Another Edit: It doesn't work. Back to trying to figure it out...

I'm trying to add a condition to allow (or not) the bestowing of certain titles - in the case below, I'd like to allow a certain title for those that have relations with their liege equal or above a certain threshold :

Confidant
title_confidant = {
	dignity = 0.05
	grant_limit = 1
	opinion_effect = 20
	
	## monthly_salary = 0.01
	monthly_prestige = 0.002
	
	allow = {
		age = 16
		OR = {
			opinion = { who = ROOT value = 80 }
			has_opinion_modifier = { who = ROOT modifier = opinion_friend }
			}
		OR = {
			reverse_has_opinion_modifier = { who = ROOT modifier = opinion_friend }
			reverse_opinion = { who = ROOT value = 80 }
			}
		OR = {
			prisoner = no
			host = { NOT = { is_liege_of = ROOT } }
			}
		FROM = {
			is_feudal = yes
			primary_title = {
				OR = {
					tier = king
					tier = emperor
				}
			}
			## NOT = { has_landed_title = e_byzantium }
			## NOT = { religion_group = muslim }
		}
	}
	
	gain_effect = {
	}
	lose_effect = {
	}

	message = yes
}

...but having tested this, it seems like any character can be awarded this title, no matter if they're close, indifferent or even rivals do the ruler/player.
Any way I could fix this? Does anyone spot a mistake in the code?
:unsure:
Any replies much appreciated!

@ash: Try using FROM instead of ROOT.

 

[ash001]

Right on target, mate!!
Thank you.
I'll keep it in mind for the future.
FROM and ROOT are tricky ones for the inexperienced modder, I can tell you that.

 

[ShadowGamer42]

How would I go about raising the levy size when at war or with a high martial ruler? (Which I can assure you is balanced out by less tax income)

Generally: ROOT is the same scope as a section starts in. Thus scoping to ROOT usually won't do anything. (One exception: In CBs ROOT is always the claimant, who isn't necessarily the attacker. FROMFROM is always the attacker, while ROOT only sometimes is)

A triggered modifier would work for the first, though the levies wouldn't automatically reinforce.
For the second, you could add the modifier directly to the static modifier for Martial.

I mean, what bit of code would I add? For the martial, I've tried, 'levy_size = *value*' but it doesn't effect the levy size at all. Even if the value is 1 (100%).

And also, if you can have the war one in the static under the 'Realm Static Modifiers' section.

 

[Meneth]

Strange, levy_size should work.

Hmm, never noticed the war static modifier. I assume it was added in 1.7. But yeah, it should work fine.

 

[ShadowGamer42]

Ok, I'll test it a few more times. Thanks for the help. Would -0.05 reduce the levy size by 5%?
Yep, it's definitely not working. >.<

 

[Meneth]

Yup.
The only reason I can see for it not to work is due to being applied at a character level. Then again, tax modifiers and such still work at character level.

 

[ShadowGamer42]

It's not only not working for the martial but also for being at war. The tax modifier works but not the levy.
