Greater Kingdoms Mod

[Maver1ck]

Hey, this is my attempt to expand on jordarkelf's DVIP:MK mod (Amazing by any standards) and am trying to create an event that fires when you rule a few kingdoms.

Note: Some Kingdoms that you start with normally, cannot be usurped - no more usurping the Kingdom of Germany for example.

Instead I have the Kingdom of the Low Counties, Saxony, Bavaria and Austria in the place of Germany, and Bohemia also - but that was always there.

Is it possible to make an event that fires when you rule all these Kingdoms, that grants you the Kingdom of Germany, AND makes it your primary title? (only if your christian of course).

I have a couple of other situations I want to make similar, such as with Russia, which no longer has Rus, but instead has Kievan, Vladmir, and Novgorod Rus, which if all ruled would have the same effect but with Rus.

Also a similar one with Spain, where, (yada yada yada...) except not with Navarra, as.. (No offence) I don't see the point in making it createable.

Oh, and with Scandinavia

But if anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Any help on CoA's would be great as well, as my art skills are greatly lacking.

Here is a map of my planned Kingdom setup:

There are no Duchy changes, and I'll happily admit to taking the layouts of most of the eastern kingdoms from the TASS mod. (Another amazing mod).

- btw, I might shift the Saxony, Bavaria, Austria borders a bit, but only if it seems suitable.

the idea seems very nice but i'm not sure it can be possible to create title by an event : i've never seen in the list of event effect something like grant title or create title.

anyone else can help ?

 

[Veldmaarschalk]

No, you can't give an existing character a title by event

 

[Maver1ck]

Thats v.annoying... ah well, basically means that the title just.. floats or is lost I suppose.

Oh well, then Germany ... dies or exists in this then. Guess a bonus kingdom for whoever manages to grab it! :rofl:

Ah well, then I think I'll just swap Bavaria for Germany, as using that was iffy at best.

Thanks for the help, greatly appreciated!

I'll just get to work on redoing this map... and design. Kind of flawed now :S

 

[Arko]

an idea would be to make germany creatable with only a few provinces dissaminated among the realms "composing" it (for example one in each kingdom and one in the center to represent capital or the capital provinces of the kingdoms)
The dissamination of these provinces not makes too easy the creation of the additionnal kingdom

So, in a way it permits to obtain an additionnal "super king" title corresponding approximatively to a domination of the other kingdom
Of course you can get technically this title without having all the others but it isn't your goal...

And for gaining emperor trait make these "super kingdoms" with 5 normal kingdoms

 

[Arko]

in addition, is there a possibily by event to reward the access of each king titles composing the super kingdom ? something like a certain amount of gold or prestige, competences, an important building in your capital etc...

The CK-event system has no way of checking if an event has already fired once. Which means that such an event that you want, may fire over and over again.

There is a work-around, where the event also gives the character a specific trait. And this trait can then be used as a 'marker' (a condition in the event, that tells the event to not fire if a character has this trait).

In DV there are 3 traits that can be used by modders, you could use one of them to use them as a 'marker'. Re-using an existing trait would mean that you would have to check all the existing events to see if it is used in one of them.

 

[Arko]

how do we make to use and define this 3 other traits ?

 

[Veldmaarschalk]

Depends on what you want that trait to represent.

You can change their name and give them a description in Crusader Kings/config/deus_vult.csv

TRAIT_NAME_USER_DEFINED_A;User Defined;;;;;;;;;;X
TRAIT_DESC_USER_DEFINED_A;This trait is free to use for user-modifications.;;;;;;;;;;X
TRAIT_NAME_USER_DEFINED_B;User Defined;;;;;;;;;;X
TRAIT_DESC_USER_DEFINED_B;This trait is free to use for user-modifications.;;;;;;;;;;X
TRAIT_NAME_USER_DEFINED_C;User Defined;;;;;;;;;;X
TRAIT_DESC_USER_DEFINED_C;This trait is free to use for user-modifications.;;;;;;;;;;X

And you can alter their effects (to see what you can alter, look at the other traits in the file) in Crusader Kings/db/traits.txt

user_defined_a = {
}
user_defined_b = {
}
user_defined_c = {
}

Suppose you want to use the user_defined_a trait as a marker, and you want to give the holder of the king of Germany title, a one-time extra gold and prestige, then you could write an event* like this

character_event = {
	id = ######

	picture = "event_claim"

	trigger = {
		condition = { type = ruler }
		condition = { type = title value = GERM }
		condition = { type = not value = { type = trait value = user_defined_a } }
		}
	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 1
		}
	immidiate = {
		effect = { type = add_trait value = user_defined_a }
		effect = { type = prestige value = 100 }
		effect = { type = gold value = 250 }
		}
	}

You can of course add all kinds or other conditions and modiers to this event.

* I haven't tested the event, so there is no guarantee that there isn't a bug in it.

Woah! I hadn't come back here for a while, but thats a really good idea about splitting up the kingdom placements, which makes sense I guess, as there are always those kings who claim to rule germany, whilst only ruling the heart! THANKS!

and the event, hrm... thats an idea, I'll try and give both a go, just tweaking the trait idea to give a large prestige boost... or something along those lines.

Wait, so is there no mod yet that creates Aquitània or some other Occitan kingdom? I'm tired of being a breakaway duchy from France without being able to give myself a promotion.

You already found the mod that has Aquitaine as a kingdom it seems

I've been playing a vanilla DV game for a few days, is it possible to install DVIP and the More Kingdoms and have my savegame convert seamlessly in it? Or would it render my game unplayable?
