[MOD] Reformation Reform

[LongfinEel]

I'm back to modding CK2 and have been working on an update for Reformation Reform. A beta of the update is available as manual install here.

Changes:
- Added Divine Truth doctrine which unlocks an ambition that makes you Honest, Just and Diligent.
- Added Sacred Lies doctrine which unlocks an ambition that makes you Deceitful, Groomed and Shrewd.
- Added Charity doctrine which enables a decision to donate 500 gold and get 200 piety.
- Free Love now prevents cuckoo pregnancy. Mothers will always reveal the real father of their unborn child. Removed several opinion penalties for producing bastards if both parents follow a Free Love religion.
- Holy Warriors doctrine now unlocks a new building that adds additional LI, AR and HI troops to temple holdings. A fully upgraded temple will have about 40% more levies.
- Unyielding no longer prevents holy wars and the +100% morale bonus in home territory has been replaced with a +50% defence bonus in home territory.
- Animism now gives +50% morale in home territory.
- Added two special combo doctrines to each pagan religion.
- Germanic gets Call of Valhalla (Unrelenting + Warmongering) and Sons of Ragnarok (Sea-Bound + Daring).
- Tengri gets Eternal Riders (Horse Cult + Ancestor Veneration) and Wrath of the Steppe (Animistic + Warmongering).
- Romuva gets Defenders of Dievas (Unity + Unyielding) and Sacred Dainos (Ancestor Veneration + Animism).
- Soumensko gets Survivors of Ukko (Animistic + Unyielding) and Tribes of Kalevala (Ancestor Veneration + Kinship).
- Slavic gets Children of Perun (Animistic + Joy of Life) and Guardians of Zemlya (Ancestor Veneration + Unyielding).
- African gets Totem-Guardians (Animistic + Populist) and Wisdom of Africa (Ancestor Veneration + Syncretism).
- Zun gets Cosmopolitan (Stability + Syncretism) and Swords of the Sun (Holy Warriors + Warrior Elite).
- Bon gets Harmonious (Equality + Stability) and Fortress-Monasteries (Monastic + Unyielding).
- Aztec gets Invaders (Bloodthirsty Gods + Unrelenting) and Jaguar Warriors (Warmongering + Warrior Elite).
- Hellenic gets Civilized (Meritocracy + Stability) and Disciples of Destiny (Astrology + Haruspicy).
- Unreformed Germanic no longer has access to Eldership succession.
- Unreformed Romuva now gets the benefits of Unity instead of Sea-Bound.
- Unreformed Zun now gets the benefits of Holy Warriors instead of Unrelenting.
- Unreformed Aztec now gets the benefits of Unrelenting instead of Unity.
- Unreformed Hellenic now gets the benefits of Stability instead of Monastic.
- Added game rule that controls whether you can pick one or both special doctrines available to each religion and whether the 4th doctrine slot is always available.

Hell yeah

Sounds like a lot of money for just 200 piety.

I largely included it for the sake of completeness (I already had the decision before as a Lollard feature). But it also really depends. It's quite favorable when compared to the rate well-off Catholics get for buying indulgences for their sins. That uses scaled wealth and if you have an income of just 10 gold per month it'll cost you 210 gold to get 50 piety. If you're making more money it'll be more expensive, but you still only get 50 piety. Of course the reverse is also true. A tribal Catholic with 2 gold per month will get 50 piety for donating just 25 gold.

The large donation can also be spammed while indulgences can't. So you can convert pretty much as much gold as you want into piety at a 40% conversion rate. As a general rule, the better your income the better the decision becomes.

So it has a use, even if most of the time you'll probably want something else. The main stars of this update are all the special combo doctrines that are unique to each religion.
