A little strange thing : christian priest can lead armies & duel. I'm not sure Bible allowed this .

Concerning horses, have you plan to give them a larger importance ? I think, for example, a character who breed horse with succes could learn how to fight mounted and gain a mounted trait (perhaps in five levels as you did with weapon learning). An ambition to be a master horse, much easy to have for mongol for exemple. It may also give more events for duel in battle. A spearman will be most dangerous against a mounted warrior and a armored mounted warrior will be a huge danger.

Concerning battles, what do you think about adding the choice to "walk like a boss". The spared character could become a rival because he's humiliated or beeing impressed and tr.

Concerning tournaments if you want to develop it, I've got some ideas to share .

You know except that really famous one from the 867 Bookmark
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_the_Abbot

There was that Antipope and bishop who were pirates
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipope_John_XXIII
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wimund

The actual Pope (although arguable)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Julius_II

I thought about horses thing, I was thinking along the lines of introducing horse battles; then again I thought about flavour battles along the lines of different weapons

The walked away like boss modifier is currently only in duels not battles but I think I could move it to a regular one... but there should be some limited uses

I would love to hear your ideas about tournaments. Although, there is no tournament alternatives for pagans and etc... so I might work on that too.

I was thinking along the lines of tournament invite to other realm Christian lords as well but that may be stretching it too much historical wise. I will figure this one out eventually.

Except it was extremely common in Anglo-Saxon England. If you look at the lists of casualties there are often high ranking nobles and clergy who die because it was expected for leaders of the community to, lead.

Very interesting, it was something I didn't knew !

Actually perhaps could it be too complicated to implement but a armoured system could be associate with a mounted system.

I mean, war stuff was expensive. An heavy armour could be culturally accessible for french, german, english, etc ; when light armour would be the privilege of east nomadic chartacter.

A character wearing an heavy armour would probably be slow but a like an unkillable war machine a fortori even more if he's mounted. A character wearing a light armour would be weaker than everyone but an elusive fighter with perhaps bonus to strike with an hidden dagger.

Concerning the walk away like a boss could be limited by fordigging it to the cruel character and only allowed to characters being charitable, kind, just and at least at level 3 of weapon mastering (when you don't know how to use your weapon it's hard to feel himself/herself like a boss I think).

Concerning horse fight, we need to know that at beginning, spear was carry above the shoulder and the strike came in extension like greek hoplites did. I don't remember when holding the spear under the arm was popularized .

Concerning flavour events, I don't know if it's a good idea or not, but perhaps is there inspiration to take in gamebook like Fighting Fantasy. I mean, your character could fight an unnamed soldier in one turn, two or three times in the battle, before dueling with a named character. This soldiers could be spearmen, swordmen, macemen, why not some time bowmen when a mounted character cross the enemy lines, etc.

Concerning tournaments, I read sometimes ago an Historia concerning tournaments and Chivalry.

Before anything else, the tournaments were less a competition of joust than a big open-air free-for-all where dozens of participants fought. It took place generally in a big space and the spectators had only a relatively mediocre view of what happen. These tournaments were a repetition of the war, which in the Middle Ages, often consisted of skirmishes.

Nobles and their riders fought together. When the noble persons fought the one against the other one, the death was rare: the purpose being to capture the opponent to aproprier a part of glory then rob him against a derisory sum. Face to face, the noble persons fought generally honorably.

The noble persons had unfortunately even no considerations for the common birth and the riders fighting against the noble persons were often killed.

The riders tended to spare themselves each other.

However, when riders stuck a noble, they granted him only rarely the life, submerging him and knifing him or guting him without warning.

He could also be interesting, and if it is possible, to envisage rider's mechanism saving the life to the character player and vice versa (a courtier having had the honorary title "rider" or "squire" could participate in the tournament).

I hope that this information can serve you.

Concerning pagan tournaments, I don't have a lot of informations. Wikipedia says that tournaments took place particulary in France. It seems it was particulary, french, franc, breton, english an flemish knights who participate. It was also appreciate in Holy Roman Empire.

I will try to think what could replace it for pagan rulers.

 

[Ivan37]

I was thinking about pagan tournaments and I remember something about a readable book from Morrowind. If you don't absolutly look for historical accuracy, you may try this (I repeat, I don't know if its historical or not) : a challenge of strenght.

I mean, for exemple, one turn could be dedicated to lift and throw a tree trunk or a big stone, another of swimming as fast or long as possible and a last one to a hand to hand or armed duel. A mix between Olympic games and tournaments.

A strong and/or smart/genius character will be probably better at this game.

You could add some traits like "Master swimmer", "Strong as a bear" or "Hand to hand fighter" to reward the winner.

Another idea which comes to me :

Norse move by boat a lot. Why not adding events concerning tempest, sinking boats, drowning, etc. We could even think that a "Master swimmer" would have better chance to survive this unpleasantness.

HiP compatibility?

I got this in an ironman play, now cannot continue with it. It won't go away...

Have you ticked "Hooni's Rebels and Warmongers" not "Rebels and Warmongers"?

That is a compiling error and it doesn't happen mid game unless you added a new mod to the game.

Or it could be a immediate event for a player... I will look into it. Could you describe which event chain you were in?

 

[tron666]

Couldn't tell, but this crash happened shortly after the previous character died.

I will look in to character death events. However, it does look like a compilation error issue, are you using any other mods?

I found the bug. Thanks for the help. Could you try your ironman file after updating?

Bug report :

- " bring order yo" in place of "bring order to" .

- your character don't gain "the crusader" trait even if a lead an army in "Holy Land"

Fixed the text. rofl... Maybe I should not have
For the Crusader trait you have to win a battle inside a holy land (the vanilla event checked everyday if one was in holy land for every character and extremely CPU costly.
