Papal Elections/Succession for the Orthodox Church

Yes_Aranovich · Jun 13, 2016

I'm sure this has been asked at some point before, but I cannot seem to find a thread on it. Is there a way to give the Catholic style succession to the Orthodox Church. The system of Pentarchs and Patriarchs is much less engaging and immersive than the electing of Cardinals and Papal elections we find in the Catholic Church. I have actually played a game where I converted to the Byzantine Empire to Catholicism solely to play with the Catholic system. Help.

The same way to give the pagans the "papal" election

In the archive 00_religions.txt

Code:

 orthodox = {
        graphical_culture = westerngfx

        icon = 2
        heresy_icon = 7
       
        color = { 0.7 0 0.5 }
       
        crusade_name = CRUSADE
        scripture_name = THE_BIBLE
        priest_title = PRIEST
       
        high_god_name = GOD_GOD
       
        god_names = {
            GOD_GOD GOD_THE_LORD GOD_JESUS GOD_THE_BLESSED_VIRGIN
        }
       
        evil_god_names = {
            SATAN LUCIFER THE_DEVIL
        }
       
        investiture = yes
        can_have_antipopes = yes
        can_excommunicate = yes
        can_grant_divorce = yes
        can_grant_invasion_cb = invasion
        can_call_crusade = no
        priests_can_inherit = no
       
        can_retire_to_monastery = yes
       
        religious_clothing_head = 2
        religious_clothing_priest = 2
    }

And in the 00_religious_titles.txt

Code:

title_orthodox_cardinal = {
    religion = orthodox
    can_elect_head = yes
   
    grant_limit = 9
   
    realm_in_name = no
    show_as_title = yes
   
    opinion_effect = 20
    dignity = 0.9
   
    monthly_salary = 0.1
    monthly_prestige = 0.5
   
    allow = {
        religion = orthodox
        is_theocracy = yes
        k_orthodox = {
            holder_scope = {
                is_within_diplo_range = ROOT
            }
        }
       
        NOT = {
            top_liege = {
                any_vassal = {
                    any_claim = {
                        title = k_orthodox
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
   
    gain_effect = {
    }
   
    lose_effect = {
    }

    message = yes
}

Thanks a lot for the reply! It's the GUI modding aspect that I'm most unsure of. When you use the code you have posted the game crashes when you click on the religion tab.

I hate to ask it of you, but if you could figure out what I'm meant to do there. That guide isn't entirely clear to me.

Yes_Aranovich · Jun 14, 2016

I think I have figured out how to import the GUI for the College of Cardinals in for the Orthodox, but I haven't figured out how to get rid of the Pentarchs/Patriachs screen, which is causing my game to crash each time.

Can you show the changes you've done ?
I doubt autocephaly = yes and papal election are compatible, you should try disable it in religion definition.

Where did you see 'autocephaly = yes'?

I think I have figured out how to import the GUI for the College of Cardinals in for the Orthodox, but I haven't figured out how to get rid of the Pentarchs/Patriachs screen, which is causing my game to crash each time.

why? Is easier the way i told you

The problem you have is too easy to solve,

change in the 00_religious_titles.txt the name of title_orthodox_cardinal to title_cardinal, the .gui i don`t know how to change, i need to check all of the celtic_pagan_reformed religion on ck2+ to repair the no antipopes bug

I forget something important to change in the archive succession_laws.txt

Not quite a synod, but it's nicer than random courtiers I suppose
