I am trying to increase the breath of the Reconquista mechanic to include parts of southern france, as often I saw Islam expanding into that area.

I have made a modification that I believe to be sound, but it doesn't work, so I am hoping to have a set of fresh eyes point out something I am missing.

Here is my CB edit.

I added this in Geographical_region.txt

And I added this localisation to the HolyFury.csv



If I'm honest, the CB portion doesn't make a ton of sense to me. I can't understand much of the logic, so I just literally copy/pasted from a previous reconquest CB and changed the regions as appropriates.
I left the flag, as I believe that has no baring on it, as long as it fires from the Decision to start preparing for reconquest right?

Also, as an aside, I can't understand the logic that allows you to be multiple counties away and still declare reconquest CB for a specific.
For example, in my tests, I take land in the duchy of Aquitaine, and I can use the CB for navarre, but not the one I made etc.
Where is that logic stored and is there any way to expand the reach, so just in case I can get this working I can make it easier for France etc to be able to declare to reconquest.

Thanks if anyone can help!

Well, you took out 5 occurrences of "is_land = yes" in the can_use. I'd put those back, as they make sure the neighbor of neighbor logic only goes by land, not across water.

Since you're adding Aquitaine to the Reconquista, you need to add "region = custom_aquitaine" to the check_if_reconquista_finished_effect about line 1747 of /common/scripted_effects/04_scripted_effects_crusades.txt. Otherwise, the Reconquista will be declared finished even if non-christians still hold any of Aquitaine.

But I think your real problem is that the vanilla Reconquista CBs check if neighbor provinces are in world_europe_west_iberia while yours checks world_europe_west_francia. You really need to create a custom region covering Iberia + Aquitaine, and change all the vanilla & yours to check that region.

Additionally, the prepare_reconquista decision requires you to have a duchy or higher title in Iberia, and only sends notification of the Reconquista to rulers with any titles in Iberia. The notification is fairly trivial, but the other part could interfere with France doing any of this, unless they're already in Iberia. If you do the custom region I described above, you should change the decision to use it too.

Finally, if you plan to add other parts of southern France, you should expand that custom region to cover all of that, and add all the new regions to check_if_reconquista_finished_effect.

-----

And if you don't like all that, you could instead create a separate Reconquista decision, global flags, CBs, and events just covering France. This would be more compatible with other mods, but would totally separate the 2 Reconquistas: one for Iberia, one for France. On the other hand, the check_if_reconquista_finished_effect is in every CB, so the simple (hah!) thing would be to expand check_if_reconquista_finished_effect to check both Reconquistas separately. If you made a whole new check effect, you'd need to add it to every CB, defeating the compatibility.

Thanks so much for your detailed reply! I'll try fiddling with that tonight and see whats up. But I don't believe I removed any thing anywhere. I just copied/pasted the previous CB script and modified the parts that looked important. I'll dig around and see what I can do though!
Thanks for giving me a place to start, at least!

EDIT: Oh I see why that happened now. I copied the Balaeric Islands one for this example, and that is obviously not applicable for the is_land thing.
That is not what is causing the issues here though, I assume. Right?

Alright, well I tried all of the suggestions in the first section to no avail.
Tried making them all use the same world region.
Tried adding my new custom region to the scripted effects
And adjusted the decision accordingly.

Still doesn't show up as a useable CB regardless of which landed titles I told anywhere near the region.

I am not trying to get into the second suggestion, as I can't figure out why this doesn't work in the first place.

I have to feel like its some spelling error or something stupid I am just overlooking, because it doesn't make much sense why the CB never shows up.
 
So two quick questions - I'm working on heresies for the reformed pagan faiths:
  1. How do I edit the tooltip for religion features, yes it auto-populates but it's missing some features (I've manually given this heresy access to the all the Bloodthirsty Gods features, but it doesn't show in the list)?
  2. I've made a head of religion title in landed_titles.txt, however upon formation it changes the character's government type to Landless, why?

I only have an idea for your second question: I'm assuming you're not using Holy Fury?
In feudal_governments.txt, there's three occurrences of this bit:
Code: 
AND = {
    religion = norse_pagan_reformed
    has_religion_features = no # Old saves, and campaigns without HF, need the Fylkirate to continue working
}
Norse paganism used to be treated as special, because it was the only religion where if you reform it, you become the head of faith. However, with HF the reformation process is more dynamic.
In any case, try replacing the script snippets with this snippet:
Code: 
AND = {
    OR = {
        religion = norse_pagan_reformed
        religion = <your_awesome_sounding_religion_reformed>
    }
    has_religion_features = no # Old saves, and campaigns without HF, need the Fylkirate to continue working
}

I only have an idea for your second question: I'm assuming you're not using Holy Fury?

I am using Holy Fury! But I got so fed up with the lack of heresies for the reformed pagans I've started making some, however since I can't find a way to dynamically generated heresies via script I'm hardcoding them. First heresy I'm making is a syncretic Norse/Aztec faith arising from survivors that fled the New World upon discovery of the Aztecs, who hope to appease the bloodthirsty gods they have discovered by mass sacrifice.

That said, thank you! Added my religion to all the relevant government types worked perfectly.

Please let me know if you end up releasing it; this sounds rad :D
 
So, I have noticed that it appears the Pope can not lead armies.
Is there some way to mod away from this behavior?
Based on threads I have researched it seems like they used to be able to, but perhaps they removed the ability to avoid him getting captured immediately?

I'd like to restore the functionality if possible, so if you can point me in the direction of where to look that would be great.
 
I'm trying to make a reformable religion that obviously only has a religious head after it's been reformed. Currently, if i pick the "pope like" option in the reform UI my RH loses his title after a few days due to me having the title set as landless = no. BUT, if i set landless = yes, the title starts the game already with a holder. I'm not sure where i went wrong.

To make a title never have a holder, make a history file for it, and disable it in a very early entry. Look at the file for e_mexikha.
 
It needs to be landless = yes, but I believe you also have to add a title history for it that marks it as disabled at game start. Check the title histories of other pagan religious heads and copy one of those.
