Modding - Quick questions

[Wolfgang Pauli]

will any_courtier = { prisoner = yes } still work when I'm trying to select a prisoner who isn't my courtier?

*edit*
Answered my own question: yes, prisoners are courtiers of their host. New question, though: there are 925 provinces, but how many baronies are there in the game?

common\retinue_subunits - very moddable.

Thanks! Another question. I found this formula: Retinue Cap = Total Realm Manpower x (Average Realm Military Organization Tech x 0.1). Is this hardcoded and still true? And does total realm manpower mean all existing manpower all manpower that is avaible due to laws...

The formula is correct. The moddable part is the modifier 0.1, which is defined in defines.lua as RETINUE_RATIO_PER_TECH = 0.1.

Additionally, you can add a constant term to the formula using RETINUE_RATIO_BASE. I think it is added inside the parentheses, i.e. in practice defines the retinue ratio of the lowest tech level. There's also MIN_RETINUE, which I suppose gives a minimum for the retinue cap, regardless of tech, manpower etc.

About decadence. Is it hardcoded on muslim religion group? I cannot find anything that would define which religion has decadence in it.

 

[richvh]

Yes, Muslims only.

Yes it's hardcoded to the muslim group. You cannot add a new religion group that has it

I count 929 land provinces
There are over 7000 baronies. Just about every province has at 8 scripted, and the new republics have five each.

Looking through some code I have found:

NOT = { is_female = yes }

As well as:

is_female = no

I assume these are the exact same thing, only style differences?

Yup. Not = no means yes.
is_female = no is slightly faster than NOT = { is_female = yes } but this is not really noticable.
only_men = yes or only_women = yes on top of the event (outside the trigger) is even faster but of course this only works if ROOT's sex is being checked.

Could someone please make a tool that could create a family_palace + patrician by giving it a dynasty name and liege? Would really take the grunt work out of making each republic have 20+ patricians.

Please?

 

[jordarkelf]

Please?

It's not difficult.
All you need is this:

1066.1.1 = {
	holding_dynasty = 123
	holder = 456
	liege = d_republic
}

Where 123 is your patrician's dynasty, and 456 is his ID. d_republic is the republic tag he is in.
Can be saved as b_whatever, but it's best to use b_dynasty.txt with dynasty the dynasty name.

It is just very tedious work.

It is just very tedious work.

what ? creating 2 titular titles + 1 history title file ?

 

[fargoniac]

I'm trying to make my republics have 20+ patricians.

 

[Darkgamma]

Keep trying.

 

[fargoniac]

OK. Don't need to have 20+ patricians, but sure would be nice.

 

[Darkgamma]

And also unsupported by the game - the interface breaks on six, and I can't imagine what would happen with 20+ families.

especially since >5 patrician families was a bug of 1.090, probably corrected in 1.091.

Let me know how this experiment turns out. I have a feeling that once a house dies out, it won't be replaced. That's if it doesn't crash to begin with.

How can I make it so that you don't need two counties for a titular duchy, two duchies for a titular kingdom, and two kingdoms for a titular empire?
