This was a fantastic stream and I'm really glad I watched it since now I'm more hyped up than ever. Sorry in advance about the length of this post. I was specifically looking for things that related to the scheme rework and wrote them down as I discovered them.
I caught this at the very beginning of the stream. That bottom line in particular. The CK3 wiki currently says that personal schemes - which seduction is - do not use secrecy so hopefully this means that our extramarital affairs will be more difficult for others to discover.
This is also pretty interesting. I don't recall seeing the Countermeasure list before but maybe I just missed it. This looks like you can focus on bolstering different aspects of the scheme at the expense of others. For instance, maybe you could go with a more surefire murder attempt but it is more likely to get your agents caught. The picture was only from the Contract Scheme so perhaps hostile and personal schemes are different.
This is very exciting. No more getting the entire world to gang up on a target; now it's only your target's court and vassals. Although I must admit I don't know how the game decided which characters could be agents in a scheme previously, I'm pretty sure you could people outside of the court to go after someone. Also even more exciting is that if your agents get caught they're now guilty of a crime! A lot of times I will set my spymaster to go trolling for secrets in an enemy realm and then hooking everyone into joining my schemes. Previously, if my scheme failed nothing ever would happen to my co-conspirators but it looks like that's about to end.
After watching the Streamers, I think Scheme Potential determines the maximum chance of success of the scheme. The 30% on the right-hand side of the picture increases to 55% after they add the character as an agent. And then the scheme starts off at 2% but as each Phase progresses it increases towards that maximum percentage. I'm still not sure what the Advantages do since you need a minimum to actually execute the scheme. But maybe this is just a variable in the success equation since in my third picture they refer to the chance for success as "Success Chance" with capital lettering making me think that Scheme Potential gets compared to secrecy and then weighed against the target's Scheme Resistance for the Success Chance.
Scheme Growth is probably how much the left-most number on your Scheme Potential grows each time a Phase is completed or at least that is my guess.
So from this picture, it looks like Scheme Potential is the left-most number (originally started at 2%) in your scheme success chance.
Okay, so your Advantages are used to launch the scheme and also add a percentage up to 100%. I'm guessing that 5 Advantages gives no bonus, 10 gives a 5% bonus and so on.
This isn't related to the scheme system but based on the above I wonder if, one day, AI Landless Adventurers might be used as rabble-rousers or heretic leaders that go around stirring up peasant armies or cause mass-conversions in your lands after particularly bad plagues, wars, or long stretches of low legitimacy.
Game looks great devs! You should all be proud of yourselves. The worst part of the stream is knowing that I have two more weeks to go before I can play myself.
