[Six Gun South]

[PMM Mod]Playable Pagans/Muslims, Additional Mercs, Combat Overhaul

Pagans, Muslims, and Mercs Mod
Current Version 0.24


The new patch made the main reason for my mod to be standalone, obsolete (unlocked Pagans and Muslims), so I conferred with Wiz and turned my mod into an optional add-on for CK2Plus.

So here we go:

WARNING: WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY WITHOUT CK2PLUS

ALL THE FEATURES YOU LOVE ABOUT CK2PLUS AND:
-Additional combat tweaks
-New holy orders for non-Christian factions
-Additional holy orders for Catholic factions that expand and contract over time
-Balanced holy orders
-New "budget" mercenary bands of 500-1000 troops
-More mercenary bands for areas with a lack of mercenaries
-Naval "transport fleet" mercs
-Buffs for Horn of Africa nations (Abyssinia, Axum, and Nubia), and Tengri nations (Cuman and Pechengs)

CHANGELOG - VERSION .024 - FIRST VERSION AS CK2PLUS SUBMOD:
-Removed religion conversion event as it is obsolete with new patch
-Made compatible with vanilla patch 1.04
-Made compatible with CK2Plus
-Added 'Arrest Templars' decision
-Added three mercenary "transport fleets" for landlocked countries and those without sufficient transport capacity

Nice.

 

[fcmsaab]

++Rep!

You rock

 

[sam1133]

very well done.

many thanks.

 

[wazzupdude]

Nice! I've been waiting for someone to come up with this mod.

 

[birdboy2000]

I knew some creative coding could get around the vanilla muslim/pagan block.

Will probably give it a look when I finish my current (Zoroastrian) game.

 

[ranbir]

As Muldoon would say: Clever girl!

Great creative use for those two weeks.


Of course, I'm going to be cheeky and use this as a way to form the Kingdom of Jerusalem very quickly! (Independance from Shia Caliphate and convert!)

 

[GAGA Extrem]

Nice idea. May I add that to my mod?

 

[ranbir]

Finish adding additional mercenary companies (plan to add about 12-15 more mercenary companies, particularly in merc-devoid areas such as the Horn of Africa, Scandanavia, and Muslim Iberia)

I would love to know how you achieve this, when you do it. The only thing I can find is what religious group it allows but nothing to show why choices are limited in the holy lands but plentiful in central europe.

 

[redeyejedi]

wont this make loading saves impossible?

EDIT: And GAGA, please do your thing and add this to your mod, as yours is my mod of choice

 

[Six Gun South]

^^I'm not sure what you mean. Like vanilla saves? I imported my vanilla saves over and they work fine except from a few weird things, like the new merc groups missing leaders.

Nice idea. May I add that to my mod?

Sure, as long as you give me credit, that'd be fine.

Mercenaries have a province they are "located" in. It's where they operate out of, and only people within a certain distance can hire them. You can see their location in the landed_titles.txt file. The merc hiring distance modifier is in the static_modifier.txt file. One of the changes I made that I forgot to list in the change log is I raised the hiring distance, so you should now be able to see and hire mercs from farther away, thus giving more options.

The reason certain areas are devoid of mercs is because the vast majority of the merc groups are located in Britain, Germany, and Italy, so the nations at the ends of the map get almost nothing to choose from. I intend to correct that soon.

 

[redeyejedi]

I meant that since your script would turn all the rulers back to their original religion groups, you wouldnt be able to load your saves due to your pagan/muslim ruler no longer being part of the christian group...

 

[unmerged(52491)]

Very impressive. Do you plan to flesh out muslim & pagan world?

No, once you save with a pagan or muslim, you can play as them from there on out. It works that way in vanilla too, you just couldn't select them from the menu, I modded it so you can.

Very impressive. Do you plan to flesh out muslim & pagan world?

I hope to! I'm still getting a grip on how events function, this is my first time modding a paradox game.

If anyone has any ideas or contributions on how to add more character to the pagan and muslim factions please feel free to share!

One thing I know I want to try and do is implement a "raiding party" event for pagans that let them raid their catholic neighbors for loot and slaves.

 

[Donkey Hote]

One thing I would suggest would be a Holy War CB or a retaliate for holy war claim duchy CB for pagans.

 

[Cainrae]

Fantastic work! You have my appreciation for making this available!

 

[Saroodai]

great work.. but whay "Go on grand Hunt" is invisible??
this is only for non-muslim religion !!

I hope we can have this Decisions...

if anyone know how to make it avilable plz tell me...

 

[Sir Garnet]

Thanks.

 

[LeifNepstad]

Thank you so much for making this. I found it stupid that Paradox wanted to limit the scope of how you could experience the era. I'll post notes or suggestions as I make 'em.

I think this decision is only available for Kings, or whatever the Muslim equivalent is (Caliphs, I guess)

By the way, I will likely have a new version ready tomorrow that fixes some things and adds more holy orders/mercs.
