Observer game with custom Dynasties and mod creation

[Lordlory95]

Hello,

I would like to set up a game with 15/20 custom dynasties for my community (They will choose the basic characteristics and where they will spawn) and play as an observer, summing up on our forum the highlights every 10/20 years. How I manage to create those custom nation in one game in the position that I want?

Secondary, to make it easier, I would like to create a mod with the following characteristics:

• It should be a list of Dynasties that shows the most important member of that dynasty when the name is clicked.
• It should colour the name of the dynasty in the list based on the title that the most important member holds (LIke: gold for Kings and Purple for Emperors)
• It's NOT a list of every dynasty in the game. I would like to press a button (on this mod UI) to search for a dynasty by name and add it to the list. Otherwise, if this is too complicated, a new option could be added when right clicking on a portrait to add the dynasty to that list
• The UI would be a scrollable window placed to the right between the map option and the events allerts.

I'M NOT ASKING TO MAKE THIS MOD FOR ME, I just want to know where I should look for guides to make it. Maybe I should post this separately in the od subforum.

Thanks in advice!

The Ui is hardcoded, so none of this can be done. You could probably hack together an event triggered from decisions to check specific dynasties and display what you want but it likely would be very clunky, time consuming to make and not worth the effort in my opinion.

Just like the GoT mod where the list of people who holds the Valyrian blades is showed with an event triggered by a decision. I will find another way to simplify the check of every dynasty.

Thanks for the answers, I hoped it was easier (like creating custom nations in EU4) but I will do it through modding at this point.
