# Free Features

###################

- Elector window added to the law view for elective succession laws

- Added artifact history, keeping track of who has owned any given artifact

- Added region-based pilgrimage event pictures on old pilgrimage events.

- Added Religion Head Actions, letting you easily interact with the Religious Head to Request Claims, Request

Money, Request Divorce, Request Invasions, and Request Excommunications. Which of these are available depends on your religion

- Scripted granular AI behavior for religious heads when determining willingness to engage in special actions such as Request Claim, Request Money, Request Divorce, Request Invasion, Request Excommunication, and Lift Excommunication.

- Most organized religions will now attempt to defend their religious head if attacked by someone of a different religion

- Added Groomed/Uncouth traits to work as non-inheritable equivalents of Fair/Ugly.

- Added special crown artifacts tied to famous titles (Persia, Roman Empire, Holy Roman Empire) that show on portrait when worn.

- Added genetic lefthanded trait, increasing character's combat_rating.

- Desert portrait background frame tied to location rather than religion. Martial headgear visual tied to in_command status.

- All elective successions (Feudal Elective, Elective Gavelkind, Tanistry) have been unhardcoded and the AI behavior for them has been completely revamped, allowing electors to select their candidate in a clearer and more rational fashion.

- Added Imperial elective succession and government for the Byzantines and Romans. The Imperial Court and Commanders receive a variable voter strength, with the Emperor's close relatives and Commanders being all potential candidates.

- Added more mercenary bands for Africa

- Updated Game Rules:

- Split the 'Supernatural' game rule into two: 'Supernatural' which controls events such as the Demon Child, and 'Absurd' which controls events such as Chancellor Glitterhoof

- Added the 'Generate Families' Game Rule, with the purpose of filling in historical blanks when it comes to historical families. When set to 'on' (default) most characters who start without any recorded historical family will have a spouse and a few kids generated. This prevents early game-overs and kickstarts the marriage game to initiate earlier.

- Added an extra setting to the 'Chinese Interactions' game rule: Restricted, which restricts the diplomatic range of China to the eastern portion of the map permanently.

- Removed the "Restricted" setting from the 'Dueling' game rule, so it now only has two modes:

- "Default", requiring your target to be a logical one, and penalties are applied for dueling "unsuitable" targets (such as priests or non-warrior women).

- "Unrestriced", allowing you to duel almost anyone, while the heavier penalties for unsuitable targets are removed.

- Added the ‘Exclave Independence’ Game Rule, with the purpose of eliminating disconnected land on succession. As long as the new ruler during a succession isn’t at war, their exclaves should be set independent according to the setting. If the AI is at war during succession, they will try to remove exclaves once every year until such a time they are no longer at war (does not apply to Players). Settings:

- Off - The default option, no removal.

- Limited - Exclaves of Independent Rulers at peace will be removed on succession unless they are connected to the Capital area with gaps no larger than one County, via a naval path or part of the characters primary De Jure territory.

- Limited (Naval) - Exclaves of Independent Rulers at peace will be removed on succession unless they are connected to the Capital area with gaps no larger than one County, via a limited naval path (1000 distance units) or part of the characters primary De Jure territory.

- Significant - Exclaves of Independent Rulers at peace will be removed on succession unless they are connected via a naval path or part of the characters primary De Jure territory.

- Harsh - Exclaves of Independent Rulers at peace will be removed on succession unless as they are connected via a limited naval path (1000 distance units) or part of the characters primary De Jure.

###################

# Balance

###################

- Prestige-based retinues are now unaffected by retinue reinforce rate; they always reinforce at full speed

- Your dynastic muslim vassals will no longer affect your Decadence through lost/won Holy Wars, as this caused your decadence to increase/decrease seemingly at random with no chance of affecting the outcome

- Book-type artifacts can no longer be stacked indefinitely, characters can now have max 4 books active at once (Library equipment slot)

- The titular Kingdom titles in Iberia (Galicia, Aragon, Castille and Portugal) are now only formable through decisions.

- The decisions to form the Kingdom titles in Iberia (Galicia, Aragon, Castille and Portugal) can now be done at any time, rather than only after the year 1000.

- The titular Kingdom title Moravia is no longer createable as a titular title.

- The titular Kingdom title Cyprus is now only formable through a decision (independent Catholic duke of Cyprus).

- The titular Duchy title Powys is now only formable through a decision.

- Vastly reduced the cost of Prestige buildings in Tribal holdings

- Added culture-specific buildings to Tribal holdings, when upgraded to Castles these buildings will become the castle variant of the appropriate culture building (Rank 2 Tribal building becomes Rank 1 Castle building, Rank 4 Tribal building becomes Rank 2 Castle building)

- Added a small tribal building chain for defensive pagans, built with Piety rather than prestige

- Added retinue size modifiers to several tribal buildings, allowing Tribal rulers to field much larger retinue stacks than they were able to previously

- Disabled the Decisions for Tribal realms to hire temporary troops for prestige/piety, they caused too much confusion for players (where did those 5000 troops come from?) and allowed for a much too rapid conquest (declaring multiple wars to avoid having them despawn), this is only in effect if Legacy of Rome is active

- Added several tribal-only retinues that are available to be recruited for Prestige (and Piety, for Defensive Pagans), intended to fill the niche decision-spawned troops had (prestige-based armies) without causing confusion/uncertainty

- Disabled all standard gold-costing retinues for Tribals, except for their cultural one

- The AI will no longer spawn random troops from Build Legend or Build Zeal as long as they're not at war (they often let the troops expire without using them, losing prestige/piety)

- Jizya tax is now based on any liege or the holding owner having a religion that uses Jizya, rather than just the holding owner

- When a new merchant republic house is generated from thin air, the new patrician comes with a family so that they can't as easily go extinct shortly after due to a single unfortunate death

- New patrician houses no longer love to name themselves after the ruler of the republic

- Harbor and Fishing Village buildings in Nomad holdings now provide a nominal amount of Galleys

- Rebalanced sex_appeal_opinion for several illness traits.

- Unified all gender triggers for minor titles, they should now make more sense

- Removed society influence.

- Improved religion tooltips, now also list: the scripture, evil gods, high god and gods

- The religion and culture line on the character select screen now gives the normal religion/culture desc and feature tooltips

- Added the name and icon of a religion to the religion top bar screen, applied the normal religion tooltip to both

- The Caspian Sea is now functionally like an ocean. With boats and merchant republics and stuff

- The Nestorian Patriarch has moved to Baghdad, he feels more at home there

- The Miaphysites and Monophysites don't really care about Pentarchy anymore

- The Tribal Invasion and Pagan Subjugation CB's now require the actor to either have the Tribal government form or Elective Gavelkind succession form

- Upon looting a holding, the loot protected by fort level is now immediately updated, rather than only on the next monthly tick

- Only bishops of Count level or above can be made into anti-Popes

- Most of the religious head actions now have a Piety cost that scales with either your size, or your tier and that of the target

- The real Pope can now grant claims and invasions on/within the realms of people who have an anti-Pope

- Donating money to holy orders is no longer incredibly overpowered: it now only gives 100 piety, and has a cooldown of a year between donations

- Successful Decadence invasions now destroy the primary titles of the one being invaded, which should help with muslim blobs becoming stronger after suffering a decadence revolt, as the new dynasty has 0 decadence

- Nomad troops have now been rebalanced to promote buying something but the first tier horde, also added piety based 'auxiliary' hordes

- Slight cost/effect rebalance of the Corrupt Priest decision.

- Barons can no longer take ambitions such as Become Exalted and Paragon of Virtue.

- The ambitions Paragon of Virtue, Exalted among Men and Paragon of Enlightenment have been rebalanced to reflect the higher values of Piety and Prestige present in the game.

- Corrupting Magic for Satanists is now a stacking modifier, and instead of removing health it actually provides a small health boost in the same way treatments do (it doesn't actually increase your health, it only offsets negative health). To compensate it has been given much heavier stat penalties. Major soul corruption effects will add two stacks of the modifier rather than one.

- Controlled Realm Inheritance now affects your realm instead of the DeJure region for the title. And it is now in effect as long as any title above the title being inherited has set Controlled Realm Inheritance to Illegal.



###################

# AI Improvements

###################

- Fixed an issue where ai rulers would not go raiding

- We have informed the AI that prestige-based retinues do in fact not cost any money, so it shouldn't refrain from buying them just because it is broke

- The Pope is no longer likely to personally excommunicate you just because he slightly dislikes the look of your face

- Told the AI that when it is the primary participant in one war that they should actually ignore wars where they aren't a primary participant

- Told the AI it might as well not bother to loot if it can't even muster 500 men

- The AI now, having decided it should send its retinues home, won't simultaneously decide leave them just sitting in the county of some random dude in the same realm, leading to the AI keeping its military AI alive indefinitely

- When the AI's council just absolutely refuses to let it grant a title to *anyone*, the AI now goes "well if one of you bastards want it, you can damn well have it" in order to get rid of the title

- When one AI tells another "please go over there so we can gather our forces", the AI won't go "meh, I don't really like that spot" and get stuck just alternating between staying somewhere it likes and walking towards where the other AI tells it to be, just because it previously hasn't considered the existence of that province

- The AI no longer thinks it is a brilliant idea to betroth its underage heir to a woman so old they'll be infertile by the time the betrothal can be turned into a marriage

- Told the AI that maybe it should consider that their liege has a ton of tribal vassals when their liege asks them to end a plot

- The AI now takes into account the cost you had to pay in order to send the interaction when evaluating if they should accept or decline.



###################

# Interface

###################

- Fixed the law view refreshing a lot more than it needed to, causing buttons to sometimes flicker

- Fixed it not being clear that negative command modifiers end up at 0 due to martial. Now shows "Martial Influence: x 0.00"

- When the Pope decides to excommunicate someone without someone asking them to, the notification now leaves out that it was "at Pope whatever's behest"

- The character finder now shows the effects of the characters' active artifacts

- Added an indicator on the "Play" button in the lobby for ironman saves showing whether achievements are available or not

- You can now edit your user-name in the multiplayer lobby to be different from your Steam name. Note that when restarting the game, it will still default to your Steam name

- The unit morale bar now shows the morale boosts and penalties being applied on a unit level

- Independent tributaries now show their suzerain where a liege would normally be shown

- Fixed the levy tooltip leaving out many sources of levy size

- The garrison tooltip now shows all sources of garrison size

- Fixed units that cannot be disbanded right now (E.G., due to shattered retreat) being included in the Confirm Disband pop-up

- Fixed title items when viewing a title in some cases being unclickable

- When you cannot pick a new plot due to your current plot being in motion, the game now properly informs you rather than just saying you don't have any plots available

- The rel head succession notification now uses the Pope's new name rather than their old name

- Trade post locations now show up in the Economy map mode as well, not just the Trade Zones map mode

- The levies tooltip in the character view now also lists how many troops they could potentially call to arms from tribal vassals

- Fixed missing space in "TribalVassal" and "NomadicVassal" in the "Pacts" list on the character screen

- When you are in regency and the council does not approve of a diplomatic action, you are now allowed to click the button, just not send it. This means you'll now be able to see why the council is voting against the action

- "Request Claim" is now visible on characters with requestable titles, not just in the title view

- Added sound to right-clicking a province on the map.

- Added experimental UI scaling. Changeable in the the video settings.

- The in-game barbershop is no longer enabled for characters that have neither hair nor beard-styles to choose from. And both hair and beard switch buttons will be hidden now if you don't have at least 2 styles to choose from

- Religious head title shield in religious view now shows its tooltip.

- Clicking the crusade banner while the crusade window is open will now close the window.



###################

# User modding

###################

- Fixed there being a strange scrollbar in the middle of the screen if you used the "-start_date" launch parameter with a title at the end

- Eliminated the "province_setup" folder. Now based purely on province history instead, meaning you no longer have to duplicate script

- Added is_connected_to trigger. Checks if two provinces are connected via some realm's territory. Used in province or county scope. Can be somewhat performance intensive, so use sparingly. Example:

is_connected_to = {

target = realm_capital # What province to find a connection to. Takes "capital" (province owner's capital), "realm_capital" (top liege's capital), or a scope that can be resolved to a province. Must be set

sea_gap = yes # Whether to allow pathing through gaps of a single sea province (E.G., between Genoa and Corsica). Defaults to "no". Can't path through lakes

land_gap = yes # Whether to allow pathing through gaps of a single land province (E.G., a realm split in two by another realm a single province wide). Defaults to "no". Can't path through wastelands

sub_realm = no # Which realm to allow pathing through. "yes" for the sub-realm of the province owner. "no" for the realm of the top-liege. Alternatively takes a scope that can be resolved to a character (E.G., ROOT, e_hre, or owner). Defaults to "yes"

naval_distance = yes # Whether to allow pathing by sea (any number of provinces). Can take a number instead to use a max distance from already found ports

}

- Added any_connected_province, any_disconnected_province, and random versions of both. Takes same parameters as is_connected_to, except for "target". The disconnected version scopes to every province in the sub realm that isn't connected, while the connected version scopes to every province that is. Example:

any_connected_province = {

sub_realm = ROOT

limit = { some_trigger = no }

some_effect = yes

}

- Added can_naval_path_to trigger. Checks if it is possible to travel by sea between two provinces. Both provinces have to be sea or coastal. Example: "can_naval_path_to = c_london". Can take scopes and similar. Can be expanded to also take a distance: "can_naval_path_to = { target = c_london distance < 100 }"

- Added "persistent_event_target". Works like regular event targets, except are not saved in event chains. Instead they're saved in provinces, characters, titles, artifacts, societies, or offmap powers. They thus persist until cleared. Syntax is as follows:

save_persistent_event_target = { name = name_of_target scope = event_target:my_character } # Scope is the scope to save. It'll be saved in whatever the current scope is scoped to, assuming it supports persistent event targets. Relative scoping like ROOT, liege, and similar work as well

clear_persistent_event_target = name_of_target # Removes the given target

persistent_event_target:name_of_target = { } # Scopes to the given target

[name_of_target.SomeLocCommand] # Scopes to the given target in loc. In the case of collision with a regular event target, the persistent target takes precedence

- Variables now work in artifacts, societies, and offmap powers as well, not just characters, titles, and provinces

- Added console command print_holding_numbers. It prints the number of holdings defined for each county, sorted by # of holdings. Useful if you want to ensure all counties can support up to 7 slots

- Creating a holding in script when the province is already at its holding slot limit now adds another holding slot

- Added optional ai_acceptance section for decisions. This can be used to indicate to the player whether the target will accept a given decision. See 00_decisions.info for documentation

- Renamed the "decisions" section in societies to "powers" (though the old name still works). Now supports loc keys too, not just decisions. Will then use the key for the name, and the key + "_power_desc" for the extended description

- Added "society_influence = no" parameter for societies, which turns off the display of society influence

- You can now scope to landed titles in loc using their name. E.G., [k_norway.GetName]

- Fixed any_realm_lord not fetching the character's employer's sub-realm if used on an unlanded character

- For modifiers like those for council position choice, you can now specify a "localisation_key". When specified, that will make the condition show up as "Localisation: +xy" rather than as a regular trigger. This can be used to create much cleaner modifier lists. Especially useful for the "ai_acceptance" section of decisions, as that will make the display mimic normal interactions. Note that this does *not* work with multiplicative modifiers; only additive ones. This is for memory saving reasons, as applying it to mult modifiers would mean every single event MTTH and similar would need to store a loc key

- Stacking character modifiers now only show a single entry in the user interface

- Added "effect" parameter for on-actions, making it possible to fire effects directly off of on-actions. Useful for when you'd normally just use a hidden event. Highly recommended that you use scripted effects so as to not bloat the on actions file

- Wrote documentation for on-actions. Can be found in _on_actions.info in the on-actions folder

- Now possible to have several separate random event lists within an on-action, which are checked separately when the on-action happens (meaning several random events can occur; 0 or 1 per list). See _on_actions.info for documentation

- Made it clear that on_(major_)battle_lost/won do not fire for the actual army leader

- Checking "holding_type" in county (as opposed to province) scope should now work

- Added in_command pre-trigger for events. Takes yes or no. Example: in_command = no will make the event only trigger for people not commanding troops

- For custom loc purposes, notifications now provide FROMFROM as well. We won't pretend there's any real rhyme or reason to what character is FROMFROM

- It is now possible to specify characters' opinions of specific traits, and specify their opinion effect on people with specific traits. "lustful_opinion = 10" for example will now make Lustful characters like you more. "opinion_of_lustful = -10" will make you dislike lustful characters. Works in any modifier (E.G., traits, artifacts, event modifiers). Has to be defined in the modifier definitions folder, just like religion and culture opinion

- You can now define an opinion explanation for custom opinion modifiers like religion, culture, and trait opinion. Simply take the modifier key (E.G., "norse_opinion") and add "_EXPLANATION" to it, and write some loc. It gets post-fixed to the line in the opinion-breakdown. Defining one for Lustful for example might show something like "Attractice (effect on Lustful): +10"

- It is now possible to specify icons for objectives, decisions, and hardcoded interactions to show up in the diplomacy list (like how "plot to kill" has a dagger). For objectives and decisions, simply put "diplomacy_icon = GFX_gfx_name" and define that piece of GFX. For hardcoded interactions, the GFX name is pre-determined, using the format "GFX_<something>_icon", where "<something>" is the same as is used for offer descriptions, defines, and so on (E.G:, "DECLARE_WAR_INTERACTION"). By defining that GFX (in the case of war declaration, GFX_DECLARE_WAR_INTERACTION_icon), the icon will then show up

- Added effects add_special_interest and remove_special_interest. This will modify the special interests list in the outliner. Examples:

add_special_interest = { who = k_france key = some_loc_key }

remove_special_interest = ROOT

- Added triggers num_culture_provinces and num_religion_provinces. They check how many provinces there are of the given culture/religion. Should work in virtually any scope that has an associated culture. Takes comparisons. Example: num_culture_provinces > 10

- When debug_mode (AKA "charinfo") is active, the script tags of traits, modifiers, artifacts, cultures, religions, societies, and governments now get shown in their tooltip for use in console commands, script effects, and similar

- Added trigger society_has_active_progress = <yes/no>

- Added trigger society_progress = <value>

- Added effect start_society_progress

- Added effect stop_society_progress

- Added effect add_society_progress = <value>

- Added effect set_society_progress = <value>

- Added trigger holy_site_distance. Checks the distance to the nearest holy site of the target religion. Example: holy_site_distance = { target = FROM value < 200 }. Works with provinces, characters, and similar as targets as well, not just religions

- Added trigger religion_distance. Checks the distance to the nearest province of the target religion. Example: religion_distance = { target = FROM value < 200 }. Works with provinces, characters, and similar as targets as well, not just religions. Use with care, as it can get a bit expensive as it has to check distance to all provinces of the given religion

- Added console command "save_without_ironman" to save the current game-state without ironman

- The "version" console command now also puts the version info in your clipboard so you can paste it elsewhere

- Added "log_missing_adjectives" console command, which logs any title that has no adjective loc key defined (E.G., if the title "k_title" is defined, but no loc "k_title_adj" is defined)

- It is now possible for a religion to have autocephaly without having a pentarchy (though not the other way around). "autocephaly = yes" now only provides autocephaly, while "pentarchy = yes" provides both

- Added trigger "has_pentarchy". Works in anything that has a religion (religion, character, province, etc.)

- Added religion parameter male_temple_holders (default "yes") and trigger religion_allows_male_temple_holders

- Added the following effects, which change religion features. Works in religion scope, or a scope from which a religion can be gotten (character, province, county/barony title, title with religion defined, society with associated religion):

set_seafaring

set_allow_looting

set_autocephaly

set_pentarchy

set_religion_head # When used in religion scope, sets the title that controls the religion. Use "none" to set the religion as not having any controller. If a title already controls the religion when this is called, it will cease to control the religion. Example: set_religion_head = k_norway/ROOT/none

set_uses_decadence

set_can_have_antipopes

set_priests_can_marry

set_priests_can_inherit

set_ignores_defensive_attrition

set_female_temple_holders

set_male_temple_holders

set_branch_tag

set_allows_matrilineal_marriage

- set_divine_blood effect now works on religions, not just characters

- Cultures and religions can now store flags, event targets, and variables

- Added effects set_flag and clr_flag, and triggers has_flag and had_flag, which work on anything that can store flags. Note as a result there are no culture/religion specific versions

- Event options can now take the parameter "tooltip_info_custom". Example: "tooltip_info_custom = REASON_IS_A_HORSE" will highlight the option and state that it is due to them being a horse

- Be aware that "reformer_head_of_religion" now has to be defined in the reformed version of the religion, *not* the original version

- Added a file with documentation in common/modifier_definitions

- Added triggers "trigger_if", "trigger_else_if", and "trigger_else". trigger_if is just an alias for conditional_tooltip. The latter two can be combined with trigger_if to handle complex display logic. If a trigger_if is immediately followed by a trigger_else_if or trigger_else, that trigger will be used instead if the limit/trigger of the trigger_if fails. They can be chained to virtually any extent. You can now also use "limit" instead of "trigger", to match how the effect functions. Example:

trigger_if = {

limit = { wealth = 3000 }

piety = 1000

}

trigger_else_if = {

limit = { wealth = 2000 }

piety = 2000

}

trigger_else = {

piety = 3000

}

- Now possible to reference religions and their groups statically in loc. E.G., [catholic.GetName] or [christian.GetGroupName]. Note that referencing the group is really just a different way to reference the first member of the group, so "GetName" will return the first religion's name, not "Christian"

- Now possible to reference cultures statically and their groups in loc. E.G., [norwegian.GetName] or [north_germanic.GetGroupName]. Note that referencing the group is really just a different way to reference the first member of the group, so "GetName" will return the first religion's name, not "Christian"

- Buildings can now use "piety_cost" in order to cost piety. Mutually exclusive with gold and prestige costs

- Retinue subunits now support the parameter "costs_piety = yes". Mutually exclusive with gold and prestige costs

- Added parameter "sort_priority" for CBs, which can be used to decide the order in which CBs show up in the UI. Example: sort_priority = 1000

- Added parameter "diplo_view_region" for CBs, which can be used override which provinces are highlighted when the CB is selected in the diplomacy view. Example: diplo_view_region = custom_leon

- Fixed the presence of decadent dynasty members being based on the religion being Muslim rather than the religion using decadence

- Added command modifiers "light_cavalry", "knights", "archers", "pikemen", "actual_light_infantry", and "actual_heavy_infantry", which boost those specific units

- Event pictures can now have triggers, allowing you to define multiple pictures without having to go via event descriptions. Note that event description pictures will still take precedence

- Event pictures now always match the description if the description specifies a picture, rather than taking the picture from the first valid description. Example:

picture = {

trigger = { wealth = 1000 }

picture = "GFX_evt_feast"

}

- conditional_tooltip/trigger_if now returns "false" when it does not get displayed immediately inside an OR or NOR, as this gives a more sensible tooltip

- Added support for all of the effect any_<scopes> for a selection_score = { } - triggered score field that only executes the effect on the top scorers of selection. Example:

any_society_member = {

score_value = {

value = 1

additive_modifier = {

society_rank == 4

value = 1000

}

additive_modifier = {

society_rank == 3

value = 100

}

}

count = 3

add_trait = maimed

}

- Added effects clear_prison_reasons, clear_banish_reasons, clear_revoke_reasons, clear_execute_reasons. These remove all opinion modifiers allowing the given action. Example: clear_prison_reasons = FROM will cause the currently scoped character to no longer be able to imprison FROM (unless allowed due to excommunication or being an enemy)

- "additive_modifier" in MTTHs and similar now works with decimal numbers rather than just integers

- Nicknames can now be set to prefix the ruler name with the is_prefix = yes attribute in the nickname database.

- Fixed the "succession" effect not immediately causing succession to recalculate

- Modifier definitions now support "show_value = no", which will cause no number to be shown. Can be useful for showing a modifier unlocks some sort of feature

- Dynasties are now generated for the senior party in a marriage to someone who has a dynasty, rather than always being generated for men if the woman has a dynasty

- Event options can now take "tooltip_info = combat_rating", much like they can take "tooltip_info = diplomacy" and similar

- Religions can now have a "full" name defined by adding the loc key with "_full" appended. Will be shown on the map, and in most UIs. Useful if you want a longer name on the map that does not work in all contexts. [Religion.GetName] will still get the old name, while [Religion.GetFullName] will get the longer version

- Virtually all triggers and effects that before only supported simple relative scopes (ROOT/PREV/FROM/etc) now support fancier ones (liege/top_liege/employer/capital/etc)

- Added Scripted score values similar to scripted triggers and effects. Can be utilized in ai_chance, ai_will_do, random list weighting and anything that utilizes the triggered modifiers to calculate a value.

- The "adjective" effect now supports custom loc. Like set_name, it uses the current scopes available

- Added effect "set_short_name = yes/no". Can be used in title scope. Equivalent to putting "short_name = yes/no" in the title's definition. Useful when renaming titles in script

- Added "preferred_limit" parameter for "random_" effects like "random_character". Should work for all "random_" effects except "random_quest_target", which is a bit of a mess. Multiple preferred limits can be defined, in addition to the regular "limit". When preferred limits are used, the first one that at least one target fulfills will be used in addition to the limit. If no preferred limit is fulfilled, only the base limit gets used. Very useful for when you want to pick a better target when one is available. Example:

random_independent_ruler = {

limit = { wealth < 1000 }

preferred_limit = { culture = norwegian }

preferred_limit = { culture_group = north_germanic }

wealth = 1000 # This would give 1000 gold to a random independent Norwegian with less than 1k gold, if one exists. If none exists, it'll give it to a random independent North Germanic with less than 1k gold. If none exists, it'll give it to a random independent ruler of any culture with less than 1k gold

}

- Societies "monthly_currency_gain" can now take "triggered_gain", making it possible to define any arbitrary reason to get currency. See societies.info for more info

- If you run grant_title on a barony that has not been built, now a castle will be built there

- Added character loc property GetLastWordInDynastyName. It will split the character's dynasty names on spaces and apostrophes, and return the last word. E.G., d'Anjou -> Anjou and "de Hauteville" -> Hauteville

- Added interface_skins = { } list in religion and religion groups. Determines the order a religion will use interface elements, taking them from the first listed to the last. The default interface is an implicit backup for all elements of all religions. If a republic then they will only use the republic interface if they have no interface_skin defined in their religion of religion group or have been set to merge the republic interface. The definition in the religion overrides that of the religion group

- Added merge_republic_interface = yes/no to religion and religion groups. Determines if a religion will try to merge their interface with the republic interface. If yes then when a republic and searching for a texture for their religion's interface they will look for <texture_name>_republic and use that version of the texture instead of the religion's normal one. The bool defaults to no and as with interface_skins the definition in a religion overrides that of the religion group

- Added triggers society_has_members, society_is_active, and is_society. Checks if the scoped to society has members, if the society's "active" trigger is true, and whether the society is the same as the right-hand-side. Examples:

the_satanists = { society_has_members = yes society_is_active = yes is_society = ROOT/the_satanists/event_target:some_society }

- Women can now take consorts. Be aware that this may in some cases break your existing script

- "add_consort" will now cause the person scoped to to be the senior party, rather than the woman. Same goes when adding one in history. "remove_consort" will still work on either party. The scopes remain the same, and will work regardless of who is the senior party

- The trigger "is_senior_consort_party" has been added, which simply checks that the character has consorts rather than being someone's consort. Example: "is_senior_consort_party = yes"

- is_consort now checks that you're the junior party, rather than female and having a consort

- num_of_consorts now returns 0 for the junior party

- title_male_consort also needs to exist in minor titles

- A religion can be defined to allow women to take consorts using "women_can_take_consorts = yes" in the religion definition, or be enabled for the religion by event/similar using the new effect "set_women_can_take_consorts = yes". It can also be set in government definitions (but not dynamically) in the same manner.

- Also added is "men_can_take_consorts" in religion and government definitions (defaults to yes), and a "set_men_can_take_consorts" effect for religions. If a religion/government's max consorts is 0, men/women_can_take_consorts has no effect

- Society ranks can now also define max_consorts, men_can_take_consorts, and women_can_take_consorts. Works as with religion and governments. You'll need to put a description of the effect in the rank manually, using the "powers" section or the "custom_tooltip" key

- LOOTER_SHIP_MAINT_MULT is now based on "seafaring" rather than being allowed to loot

- Added scopes "previous_artifact_owner" and "any/random_artifact_owner". These only work on artifacts that track history (don't have the "history = no" parameter). The first simply scopes to the previous holder. The any/random one scopes to anyone who has ever owned the given artifact (including the current owner)

- Added effect copy_artifact_history

- Multiple wives now take precedence over the ability to have concubines

- Added effect "show_trait". All this does is make the given trait show up on an event option, much like "show_portrait". It does not affect the gamestate, nor cause a tooltip. Example: "show_trait = genius"

- Variables, flags, and event targets can now be saved to societies. Example: the_satanists = { set_flag = test_flag }

- Fixed custom loc in some cases almost always returning the same "random" value when used repeatedly in a block of script

- Fixed the "new_artifact" scope not persisting past save-reload

- Added set_picture effect for artifacts

- When debug mode is enabled (AKA "charinfo"), you can now CTRL+right-click an event option to open it in a text editor. To specify what text editor to use, you will need to edit your settings file. "text_editor" needs to point to your text editor's executable, while "text_editor_postfix" needs to use whatever syntax that editor uses to specify what line to open on. The $ sign will be replaced with the line number

text_editor="C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++

otepad++.exe"

text_editor_postfix="-n$"

- Added loc promotion ParentReligion, which changes the scope to the scoped religion's parent religion. Example: [Root.Religion.ParentReligion.GetName]

- Added scope parent_religion

- Added parameter full_hostility = yes for CBs. If set in addition to hostile_against_others, will cause anyone targeting a realm with a CB with the flag to be hostile towards one another. They will also be hostile to anyone targeting the defender's primary title

- Equipping an artifact now triggers a portrait refresh in case the artifact affects how the character looks/dresses

- Added on-actions on_command_unit, on_command_sub_unit, and on_unit_entering_province

- Added pre-trigger has_job_title. Takes yes or no

- Scripted value calculations such as ai_chance, ai_will_do, selection_score etc. now supports adding a trigger field effectively nullifying the field.

- You can now use command_modifier in event modifiers

- random_list now supports defining a fallback, which will be run if nothing else has a chance above 0

- random_list now leaves out "one out of x options will happen" if only one option is valid

- WARNING: The religion/religion_group/culture/culture_group event pre-triggers now only take actual keys (E.G., "norse"). Scopes and the like will no longer work, for performance reasons

- Fixed counties with no holder whatsoever in history getting all their barons set as independent

- Hovering over the tooltip for effects involving a lot of characters should now cause less game slowdown

- e_rebels and e_pirates no longer check decisions, plot invitations, etc.

- Fixed FROMFROM not being present most of the time in on_combat_pulse

- Added new Crusade system:

- See crusade.info in common/religion for documentation

- Now possible to have more than once Crusade CB. Use "is_crusade = yes" in the CB to mark it as a Crusade CB. Individual religions can also specify their Crusade CB, overriding what's defined on the group level

- Added effects set_crusade_target, pledge_crusade_participation, lock_crusade_target, set_crusade_beneficiary, set_official_crusade_recipient, set_crusade_pot_multiplier, cancel_crusade

- Added triggers is_preparing_crusade, crusade_preparation_strength, crusade_preparation_time_elapsed, crusade_preparation_time_remaining, has_pledged_crusade_participation, crusade_war_has_started

- Added scopes crusade_beneficiary, crusade_target_title, crusade_target_char, any/random_crusade_participant, official_crusade_recipient

- Added on-actions on_crusade_preparation_starts, on_crusade_launches, on_crusade_canceled, on_crusade_monthly, on_crusade_target_changes

- Added scope any/random_unit_leader. It scopes to any leader (flank or subunit) in a unit. It can be used in unit or character scope; in character scope it uses the unit that character is in. If the unit is in combat, every unit on the same side in the battle is included

- Added triggers is_sub_unit_leader = yes/no and is_in_same_unit_as = scope. The latter checks if two characters are in the same unit. Does NOT check every unit on a side of a combat, unlike any/random_unit_leader

- Warning: Identical names in cultures are now assumed to always be tied to the same base name. This means that having something like Name_BaseOne in one culture, and Name_BaseTwo in a different culture is no longer possible. This would already cause issues with regnal naming anyway

- Now impossible to fire delayed events (E.G., via laws automatically being passed) until the campaign has actually started, as this could lead to CTDs

- Added dynasty modifiers, which apply to all (living) members of a dynasty. Add with "add_dynasty_modifier = key" in character scope. Remove with "remove_dynasty_modifier = key". Check for their presence with "has_dynasty_modifier = key". Does not support timed modifiers

- Added triggers holding_garrison_percent, holding_raisable_levy_percent, and holding_total_levy_percent. They check how full the garrison, the raisable levy, and the total levy (garrison + raisable) is. Example: holding_total_levy_percent < 1 would check that the overall levy is not capped. 1 represents 100%, 0 is 0%

- Added variable exports holding_garrison_percent, holding_raisable_levy_percent, holding_total_levy_percent, holding_garrison, holding_raisable_levy, holding_total_levy

- Added effect set_player_character, which makes the player controlling the current character control the target character instead. Example: "set_player_character = player_heir" would result in the player taking over as their heir. Be careful, as it is entirely possible to cause an instant game over using this effect. The effect does *not* enforce remaining within the same dynasty. This effect works even in multiplayer, hence the need to be scoped to the player's character

- on_siege_over_winner, on_siege_over_loc_chars, on_siege_won_leader, and on_siege_lost_leader no longer fire for forts (they never fired at all for trade posts); these now fire the same on-action with "_fort" or "_trade_post" appended, with FROM as the province. This is because FROM was undefined for these two types of holdings as they have no associated title, leading to strange issues

- The names of interactions now go through custom localisation, just like their descriptions, providing the standard set of promotions and properties for interactions

- Intermarrying AI logic no longer assumes religions in the same group are fine to marry unless they've actually been specified to allow intermarrying. Before, only Pagans could refuse on religious grounds within the group

- The "add_building" effect now also adds the building it upgrades from. E.G., add_building = some_building_3 would add some_building_1 and some_building_2 first if they're not already present (based on upgrades_from, not names)

- Fixed religious titles not being considered minor titles for some purposes, such as "has_minor_title"

- Major rivers now use the position of the councilor for moving ships, to make it easier to place them in such a way that they're not on land

- Fixed the "adjective" effect not always working

- When a province is selected in debug mode, hovering over another province will show the naval distance if a naval path exists

- It is now possible to specify the religion head's response AI for all the religion head interactions. See 01_rel_head_actions.txt for more info

- You can now specify religion-specific character names on the religion level, not just the religion group level. If defined, it will be used instead of the religion-level names. It is now also possible to have one named defined in more than one group/religion (E.G., in both the Christian group and the Jewish group), while before this would lead to no one being able to use the name at all

- Added "prompt_name" effect, which can be used to let the player rename characters, provinces, landed titles, artifacts, and bloodlines. Example:

prompt_name = {

player = ROOT # What player should get the prompt

type = NEWBORN # What message type to use, as defined in messagetypes.txt. This is what defines the text and picture. The text uses the current scopes

portrait = e_hre # Optional. What portrait to show on the right. If not defined, the scoped character (if scope is a character) will be used

name_list = LOC_KEY # Optional. What name list to use. Can also use "religion" for religious names of the scoped character's religion, or "culture" for cultural names. If not specified, there will be no "randomize name" button (except for characters, that'll use the standard buttons for newborns). The loc key should contain a list of names separated by pipes. E.G., "LOC_KEY;Name|Name2|Name3;;;;;;x". When the name list is specified, a name from the list will be chosen at random, and hitting "randomize name" will cause the name to change to another random name in the list. When using a loc key rather than culture/religion, custom loc is supported, using the current scopes

}

- Added on-actions on_character_renamed, on_title_renamed, on_province_renamed, on_artifact_renamed, and on_bloodline_renamed. These fire when a player renames such an object

- Added on-action on_excommunicate_interaction

- Added religion parameter rel_head_defense. If set to "yes", people of that religion are likely to join in defense of their rel head when attacked by a different religion. It can also be set in script using "set_rel_head_defense = yes/no"

- Added defines MAX_DISTANCE_HOLY_WAR_JOIN and MAX_DISTANCE_REL_HEAD_DEFENSE_JOIN

- Added CB effects on_invalidation_title and on_invalidation_posttitle

- Fixed holding build triggers not working for regular holdings

- Added can_land_path_to trigger

- Fixed the exportable value monthly_income actually returning the yearly income

- Added localisation modifier 'U' to uppercase first letter

- Province history renaming now supports taking a localisation tag

- Added any/random_eldership_title scopes

- Added any/random_elector_character scopes

- Added any/random_pretender scopes

- succession and succession_w_cooldown effects can now be complex and use base_type and voting_rules as parameter, example:

succession = {

base_type = feudal_elective # One of the hard-coded types feudal_elective, elective_gavelkind, tanistry

voting_rules = my_elective_voting_rules # Elective rules defined in common/succession_voting

}

- Added extra script validation that tries to detect if a curly bracket or equal sign is missing or in the wrong location.

- christian_church_opinion can now be used outside of traits and there is now a version for each religion group.

- Added two on_actions; "on_employer_change" and "on_host_change" which are triggered whenever a character changes their employer (home court) or host (current location).

- Added a scripted trigger "valid_exile_court_trigger" which makes it possible to limit which courts the game considers when deciding where to move a character.

- Fixed "spawn_disease" not working in events due to load order shenanigans. Now also logs during game load if a referenced disease does not exist

- Added DAYS_BEFORE_FIRST_COMBAT_EVENT in defines

- Added 'add_god_names' effect which makes it possible to add new god names to the scoped religion

- Added 'remove_god_names' effect which makes it possible to remove all god names from the scoped religion

- Added 'set_high_god_name' effect which makes it possible to set the name of the high god for the scoped religion

- Added 'add_evil_god_names' effectwhich makes it possible to add new evil god names to the scoped religion
