Revolutionary! Never saw anything like this in the forums. Worst thing about CK2's combat is that when you are attacked it's basically an useless effort to invade your enemy, because you won't gain much by forcing him to surrender. I wonder how you will balance it; one may declare war for a single county but actually trying to push for the white peace, getting much more land than he ever could using the CB alone.

I have separate CBs for basically every type of war in order to balance it and limit outcomes. So for example, instead of vanilla's claim CBs which can target any claim I have a separate CB for claims on counties, duchies, kingdoms, etc. That way I can very easily control the CBs.

I also have events designed to help end wars in more sensible ways to prevent abuse from the human and AI.

I'm a little worried about how the AI will deal with this.

Very easily, been tested already.

Any more news on your health and progress on both the fantasy mod and this fine creation mjohnson?

My health is okay, still have 2 holes in my back but they are healing. Thanks for asking.

The fantasy mod is coming along very nicely. I have all the religions and cultures fleshed out and added (each have their own bonuses and maluses).

The traits and resources and buildings are all done.

I have 25% of the province map drawn (100% of the empire, kingdom, duchies) and functional.

The elf portraits look pretty awesome, really happen with those. I've got new sets of armor and clothes so portraits in general are really good.

I really don't want to talk too much about the fantasy mod in this thread, I will start a new thread when the time is right for that. If anyone is interested in that mod's development feel free to PM me.

Yep! Acting entitled to the free labor and creativity of another person does not make things go any faster.

To be sure, I'm now over at Stellaris. But, I am still interested in seeing Johnson's vassalage system for myself. Sounds very radical/different.

I'm not sure how your health is currently MJ, but if it ever gets to a point where you need to give up this endeavour, would you consider uploading the WIP version of the mod, so that someone else might continue your work? With full credit given to yourself, of course

If I ever give up on this, which right now I don't intend to do, I would have no problem with someone picking it up.

I hope this makes some people feel better. I know I maybe jinxing it, but if I had to guesstimate based on his current progress and timeline of posts, as well as health issues I would say somewhere between Late July to mid to late August is when this mod will be released. After all he can't work on it all day and night, he has other priorities, this is a huge mod which takes time to do, and his health has been an obstacle to its release (he has had some health issues). So i say we just wish him the best and patiently wait for this mod to be released.

I am going to predict medio August 2022. Just so he will probably be releasing something sooner than expected ;)

I have been playing as the welsh baron of cardiff, I have managed to get all of de jure Glamorgan (and some land in Gwent, Hereford, and Gloucester) I am one of Englands most powerful vassals and Lord president of the council, how do I get the Count title, does the king have to grant it to me and if so why is he taking forever to do it
