Project Balance

[Meneth]

Does it work with feudal vassals only? Because I had a successful independence plot (no war, the emperor just released everyone) where every non de jure vassal went free, save prince-bishops and republican counties.

The current beta version fixes an issue where all non-dejure vassals wouldn't go independent, which is likely what you ran into.

It's a CPR issue,but Meneth could fix it like the Nomad's buildings issue...

It's probably a CPR issue, and I cannot fix it.

Having an annoying issue. My current character's father was a Jewish courtier married matrillinealy to my previous Queen. When I took control of him I got an event which stated that as his father/mother was Jewish would I like to convert my character to Judaism. I declined the event but it keeps popping up month after month and is getting a little annoying. Anyone know where this event is located so I can tweak it?

Thanks

Not a PB event at least, so I have no idea sorry.

not sure if this is an issue or just coincidence (or hell, if it's caused by PB or VIET or SWMH), but clicking on the alexiad bookmark gives me a ctd for some reason. thought I'd drop a line since I shut down my pc anyway :laugh:

I'll look into it.

Has anyone experienced this bug?, in my current playthrough the Catholics conquered Jerusalem and the first rulers were from a random European culture (normal), but at some point they changed to arabic culture for no apparent reason, they didn't even married arabs or anything, more weird even, they're still catholic.

The only thing I can think of is that they assigned an arab (either Muslim or christian) as his guardian, but the AI is not idiotic enough to put it's heir under a different culture/religion guardian.....or are they?

That shouldn't be happening in PB, as I've set those event up to not allow Christians to convert to Arabic culture. It can still happen via guardians though, and I've got no plan to prevent that currently.
However, if you know what event it happened by (if not a guardian) I could look into it.

That is another problem, it doesn't seem to be available for me, i only saw it available once or twice and used it for Mesopotamia but i've basically reunited the whole empire without it, eas thinking that was WAD but seeing from your post it seems it's not, no idea why i can't them.

Check the "is war possible?" decisions.

Could somebody help out with this - I've been reading through this thread and the rest of the forum but I can't seem to find the answer:

I'm playing as the Count of a single county and I have strong claims (fabricated) on 2 neighbouring territories (another county belonging to a different de jure duchy and a prince-bishopric belonging to the de jure duchy I belong to). I've taken the gold and prestige hits that comes with using the claim, but I can't declare war on either of the rulers because it says I don't have a valid CB. I'm playing as the vassal of the Duke of Lower Lorraine, who has recently gained independence from the HRE, and as far as I'm aware there's no crown authority preventing me to declare war on vassals. I'm playing PB + SWMH + VIET Events and Traits modules.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Are they by any chance allied to you? In that case you need to meet some additional requirements that are listed in the "is war possible?" decisions.

I have a nice Prussian play through going and am about to create Lithuania, but I noticed I wont be able to create the Empire. If I do happen to take down Poland, I may have to go Catholic first, what files do I need to edit to be able to create it? Also would it be save compatible? PB+SWMH as always.

Hi Meneth, thanks for the quick reply. No, neither one of 'em is an ally.

Also, where could I check "Is war possible?" I seem to remember this used to be among the Intrigue decisions but it's not there now (possibly because I'm now running SWMH and VIET events + traits, which I wasn't before??)

As long as PB is properly enabled, the "is war possible" decision should be there. If it isn't, that's indicative of PB itself not being enabled.
To play your combination of mods, you've got to make sure you've got these mods enabled:

• PB
• PB+SWMH
• SWMH
• VIET Events
• VIET Traits (already included in PB though, so not really needed on its own)

It's likely you don't have PB itself enabled, breaking all CBs except for the Imperial Reconquest one.

I believe I've found a major bug playing as Mercia, 867 start date. The feast decision disappears after being clicked on, the feast never happens and the option never comes back. I've read around a bit, and the problem seems to be related to the Duel Engine (vassals can duel each other during feasts), which hasn't been updated for The Old Gods but it still seems to be included in Project Balance. Might be causing more than one thing to short out.

I'm playing CK2 v1.101 and PB v3.2.17 with the PB version of VIET v1.3.1 (all PB-compatible modules).

I checked out the VIET thread as well, which is where I got the hint this was a Duel Engine problem.

The feast decision is working just fine for me. If used in October or later the feast should start immediately. If used before October it should fire in October or November.
It's possible VIET somehow breaks it though, in which case you should report it in that thread.

I've just posted there, but I think this merits further testing. From what I can see, the Duel Engine is still within Project Balance despite being obsolete. If the issue's related to vassals dueling during feasts, then it's not a constant, and feasts would trigger normally if people don't have a bone to pick with each other.

While the duel engine hasn't been updated, it's not obsolete.
Related files (E.G., feast events) will indeed be a bit outdated, but they'll still work just as they did in 1.092.

The feast trigger in PB is quite simple though. It'll trigger after month 10 (October) while you're not in prison and not at war. There's no way for the Duel Engine to interfere with it.

Damn. I've no clue then. But it's really throwing a wrench into my ongoing 2-player MP game. Here's the savefile, in case it helps. Remember, it's PB v3.2.17 with all the PB-compatible VIET v1.3.1 modules. Just load as Mercia and see if you can get the feast to fire. So far it's been over five years since the decision disappeared, and no feast in sight.

Exactly, I figured I only needed PB + SWMH. Thanks a lot for your help.

Just making sure this didn't get lost, since it needed moderator approval because of the links.

 

[Steelwarrior]

found a solution for the bug in my LP - now it is ongoing again - thanks Meneth for your mod ;-)

I'm playing a game of PB+VIET as a Reformed West African Mali Empire, and I'm finding that I can't declare holy wars when it seems like I'm meeting all the requirements.

Here are the pop-ups for the Holy War check decision. All three holy war checks are positive.

Here's the region where I'm trying to declare war: Mali is peach, the target duchy is green, independent, Ibadi, and shares borders with my realm.

And here's what I see in the diplomacy screen when I want to declare war.

I can still use the Pagan conquest CB, but for some reason I can't declare holy wars on any of my neighbours, all of whom are Muslims. Are the check decisions up to date?

Additionally, and probably unrelated, is this. Since the start of the game, the holder of More has always been the holder of Sama, despite both of More's holdings belonging to its de jure duchy.

The issue with Möre is a VIET issue.
The holy war issue is likely also a VIET issue, as VIET changes some of the requirements for holy wars without updating the war checks.

 

[Vintage Zombie]

Thanks! Should I post in the VIET thread, then?

 

[Meneth]

Yes. I keep bugging Cybr to update the "is war possible" decisions with his changes, but he still hasn't bothered.

I'm using PB only (3.2.17) and having issues with the Subjugation CB.

All of the checks are green and I verified in the save file that I do not have the flag subjugation_done, I only have achievement_get_married and commissioned_runestone in the flags section. I also do not have launched_subjugation as a modifier. I wasn't sure if I'd have subjugation_done as my father started a Planned Invasion and my current character completed it.

The relevant block seems to be this in the CB:

				AND = {
					NOT = { has_character_flag = subjugation_done }
					OR = {
						trait = ambitious
						trait = diligent
						trait = brave
						capital_scope = {
							kingdom = {
								title = PREVPREVPREV
							}
						}
					}
				}

I really can't see why it wouldn't work. All of the checks are green.

                    }
                }

I really can't see why it wouldn't work. All of the checks are green.

Send me the save and I'll look into it this evening.

Playing as a vassal in Hungary, tournaments of the other lords seem to never happen because of "the death of X lord." I'm pretty sure they are not dying. I'm running PB, SWMH, PB+SWMH, PB VIET Events, and PB VIET Traits. I will get invited to the event, and then it will be cut short prematurely because of the lord's death. Happened quite a bit.

I won't have access to my gaming computer until the weekend. I can upload it then if you still need it.

Just a couple questions, firstly, did you change any CoA's in 3.2.17? i was using .14 until recently and now my syrian sultans CoA is the same as the sunni caliph's but a different colour but i can see from my list of save files that it used to be different. Secondly i was wondering if there is a way to stop Shia being a heresy of Sunni. i'm sorry if this has been asked before but it is hard to find anything on it. Lastly, i've been having a strange crash recently, i used to have some CTDs for various reasons but worked them out but this crash just freezes the game, the music keeps playing but nothing works and when i bring up task manager it's not responding, any ideas?

Thanks for the great ever updating mod!
