[MOD] No Hassles Vassals v1.3
Hello Holy War, Conquest and Invasion loving kin! If the story below sounds familiar this mod is for you.
The year is 1182 and you've been embroiled in Holy Wars for the past three decades. You are now, yet again, 15 holdings over your demesne limit and have your mouse poised to invite 15 like-minded courtiers to your realm via the "Invite to Court" decision. While this option is fast and alluring, your miserly heart cannot stomach the cost, and you sit digging through the slightly awkward, slightly frustrating search results of all the men in your realm. You shy away from the heirs, throw out the men married to titles and despair at those betrothed matrilineally outside your realm, all the while struggling against the many clicks it takes to find, view, and give out the title in question. In the end, hand sore and eyes glazed, you stagger out of management and back to the field of battle.
No more!
How It Works/Instructions:
To start, the player will see a couple new items in the Intrigue Decisions menu, the first being "Raise Your Banner." Clicking this will flag the province your character is currently in so that the primary holding there will be excluded from the other the titles you are giving away. You must "Raise Your Banner" on at least one province before you can use "Distribute All Holdings" (It won't let you otherwise - else you might give away all your landed titles and instantly lose!). To flag provinces other than your capital, simply raise troops on that province and have your character lead the army there, then use "Raise Your Banner" again. If you select the province, you can see a province modifier (a little green shield with a crown above it) showing that you have flagged it.
Women and children have not been forgotten. As a Female ruler, or as soon as a Regent is appointed to a child, your Marshal will take over the duty of flagging and unflagging provinces. The province flagging decisions for the Marshal act exactly like they did for the player, but are based on the Marshal's location instead. If you are given a job title by your liege your Marshal will also take over the flagging duties.
Now that your own primary holdings are secure and flagged, you are ready to hand out the rest of the holdings! Click the "Distribute All Holdings" decision and BAM! You are done!
What just happened:
When used, the mod creates a character the same way it does for "Invite Noble/Holy Man to Court" (that is: random traits, male only (female only if enatic), same culture and religion as the player). However, in the mod, it doesn't cost you anything. This isn't meant as a cheat or as feature to give you a leg up - I set it this way because I almost exclusively use the Search Realm function to find prospective vassals. This could easily be changed to have the same "Invite Noble/Holy Man" cost though, if you so desired.
The "Distribute All Holdings" decision fires off an event that hands out up to 30 lower titles (baronies/cities/bishoprics) at a time. This is probably overkill but it should ensure it gets them all with one run. The same event then gives out up to 10 County titles (province primary holdings). It's a big event, but works fine.

Release Notes:
Version 1.3
- Added a province modifier so you can view at a glance which of your provinces have their Banners Raised - thanks to zeress for the code!
- Fixed not being able to raise your banner if you held a job title, your Marshal now takes over.
- Enatic is now supported - Special Thanks to Lockesly L`Crit for providing the code for this.
- - If Enatic or Enatic-Cognatic succession is chosen by your character, the mod will distribute holdings to female vassals.
- - Vassals will be ages 15-22, because that seems to be the hard code for generating random female characters. You could easily edit in a set age.
- No Hassles Vassals now has German localisation! Thank you to Targor for the translation!
- Patricians are now working with No Hassles Vassals!
- Women can now properly flag and unflag provinces with their Marshal.
- BUG FIX: Having a courtier appointed as your Marshal will now work correctly with flagging and unflagging provinces
- What is the "Split Decisions" version?
- - That version has the Distribute commands split into four separate decisions. Distribute Baronies/Cities/Bishoprics/Counties.
------------------ - Will this give away my Duchies and Kingdoms?
- - No. This will only distribute your holdings and County titles, it will not touch your Duchy and Kingdom titles.
------------------ - Can I use this mod inside my own project?
- - Of course! Just give me a footnote somewhere and feel free to do as you'd like.
------------------ - County titles will not be distributed if you still have lower titles (cities/bishoprics/baronies). This means if you had more lower titles than the mod could hand out in one event run, it will skip over handing out the County titles. This keeps you from having to transfer a Count's de jure vassals back to him (which would be necessary if the Count title was given out first and then his bishopric/city).
------------------ - ALL non-primary holdings are given away, meaning any stray baronies you wished to keep will be distributed. (Can be avoided by using the Split Decisions version, and not mass distributing baronies.)
------------------ - If Enatic or Enatic-Cognatic succession is chosen by your character, the mod will distribute holdings to female vassals.
- Using the Distribute All Holdings decision (or Distribute Baronies for Split) will give away ALL of your non-primary-holding baronies.
For example: If you hold Paris and one of the secondary baronies there, the decision will give away the secondary barony. You can use the Split Decisions version of this mod to avoid mass distributing your baronies as a fix. Until the commands "set_title_flag" and "has_title_flag" are fixed, I don't think there is a way to single out a barony to keep it.
- zeress - For adding a province modifier so you can view at a glance which of your provinces have their Banners Raised.
- Targor - For providing German localisation to No Hassles Vassals.
- Lockesly L`Crit - For providing the basic code changes needed for Enatic succession checks and female vassals.
- Arumba - For putting No Hassles Vassals into his Mod Spotlight series! Video above, link to his youtube channel HERE
- Nelfe - For answering a question of mine in the Modding Quick Questions Thread that stopped me from eating my keyboard in frustration and allowed me to complete this mod.
- Meneth - For answering a question of mine in the Modding Quick Questions Thread that let me fix the mod for Patricians.
- Arumba - For letting me know I had overlooked women flagging/unflagging provinces with the Marshal.
