DV: Pay Homage event

[TempestDK]

Seems this event is a bit buggy sometimes.

In my current game as an independent Prince of Trebizond, I get this event every time my ruler dies. My new regent can the declare independence from himself. It doesn't make much sense.

Also when the event actually fires if I have a liege, then I think declaring independence should have more severe consequenses than -3.00 prestige. It seems my old liege doesn't care that I have now decided to leave the realm, and he still thinks I am a pretty nice guy.

I already posted in the general forum to ask peoples feedback.

This event is surely bugged. As king, when I die my hier had to pay hommage event - if you chose option B f.e. you become independent.

But you are already a king (king of Portugal and Leon) - to whom should that hommage be payed?

I've seen this happening more then once as king.

The most problematic of this event is ofcourse option B. You can declare (peaceful!) independence with a pitiful amount of prestige.

This event (#1096) is triggered directly by the code, so its triggers can't be fixed.

If it bugs you, I suggest commenting out the independence code until Paradox fixes it:
open db/event/lordship_events.txt in Notepad

Comment out lines 169 and 170 by placing a # in front of them.
This will keep the prestige hit but remove the independence.
You could change the prestige hit in action_b to effect = { type = loyalty value = -1 } -- that would turn the vassal extremely disloyal, still allowing him to potentially break free, but with repercussions this time. No more "free" independence.
