Thank you for this mod Syren - I've incorporated this into a mod pack I use solely with a few friends in our private games and it has formed the basis of something we feel is really increasing our enjoyment of the game. I've just finished adding a new "capital" building chain - which adds a chain which can only be constructed in your capital. Each upgrade tier requires a higher tier of title, meaning there's a building for counts all the way up to emperors, with the effects being cumulative.
I wanted to try and give higher ranked people a slight edge/advantage over lower tiers, when engaging in a pure 1v1 where everything else is equal, as well as generally make the buildings and higher tiers more interesting. I'd just like to share the code, as it might give other people ideas and form the basis for other building chains - as it shows how this can be achieved.
I've thoroughly tested - if you move your capital, the building will vanish and it's effects will disappear from the county within a month. This is to prevent cheating and moving capital around to build them all over the place. You *can* build multiple within the capital county itself, if you hold multiple baronies there but I don't mind that as you're already neutering yourself by limiting your demesne that way, so it balances out anyway. Besides, the higher level versions are quite expensive.
In
buildings.txt, insert this anywhere after
castle = { (directly below that line, before the other building chains start works just fine)
