Adroit Religion 1.11.1

• "In-Lore" the resulting child is a "Child of God" - born to no father but God himself, and any husband of the mother doesn't mind that this has happened.  The child is not a bastard and is of their mother's dynasty.
• I don't think this content will be to everyone's taste, and it's creating a number of random characters, so I've decided to hide it behind a "setting"
• In order to enable it, you'll need to execute the new global decision I've added called "Allow Priestess Impregnation".  You can't turn this off once it's enabled, so I suggest you make a separate save if you're not sure about it.
• Every ~12 months a random priestess or volunteer has a chance of getting impregnated by a random lowborn, who then disappears.  He'll show up in relations, but in-game lore it was an unknown peasant.
• The child will be born with a "Child of God" trait, which gives them a small diplomacy and piety buff.
• The other reason this is optional is because this required me to override the birth_events.txt and pregnancy_events.txt files to make this work.  I want this to be "modular" in that I can get rid of those overrides if it becomes a problem, or serve them out of a separate mod.  I don't know if any other mods are overriding these yet, but I'm sure they will in the future.

• From the decision menu, choose to visit the Church-Brothel with a 1 year cooldown (player only, no ai)
• Your character is greeted by your church chaplain, lay with them or choose to view female/male priests, depending on your doctrines/clergy
• Once a partner is selected, fire off a Carnalitas sex event
• As there are not many events available yet, you'll be treated to my amateur attempt at eroticism for any hetero pairing, or the basegame implementation for anything else (I'll try to write more events as time allows)
• Women working at or visiting the church brothel can become pregnant as part of these events - with special pregnancy events
• The child will be born of the father's dynasty.  They won't be a bastard, but they will have another trait that prevents them from inheriting titles from their dynasty
• As a player father, you can choose to "Elevate" such a child on birth (or afterwards), allowing them to inherit normally
• As a player mother, you can choose to make the child of your house instead, and/or "Elevate" them as the father can
• This is probably SUPER imbalanced - you can get yourself a lot of kids with useful inheritances using this.  I've implemented it this way because of some vague, personal fetishes, but I may look to limit/balance them as time goes on, or control it with other game rules

AdroitReligion 1.11.1

• Better compatibility with the latest version of Carnalitas (1.3.1)
• Finally realized there's two places I need to set the supported version, so users will no longer get alerted about outdated versions.

 

AdroitReligion 1.11

• Compatibility with the latest version of Carnalitas (1.3.1) (DELETE THE ADROIT RELIGION FOLDER BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW VERSION)

 

AdroitReligion 1.10

• Compatibility with the latest version of Carnalitas and the base game

 

AdroitReligion 1.09b

Updated to support newest version of Carnalitas (1.1.1 at time of writing)

 

AdroitReligion 1.09

 

The main change in this version is adding a decision/event for the player to volunteer as a ritual prostitute, effectively a mirror of the decision/event to visit the church-brothel normally.

• "Start/Stop Volunteering at the [Temple Name]" Decision - give or remove the player character the "Ritual Prostitution Volunteer" character modifier to/from the player
• "Work at the [Temple Name]" Decision - if a player has the "Ritual Prostitution Volunteer" modifier, they'll have this decision instead of the "Visit the [temple name]" decision.  Shares the same 1-year cooldown
• When visiting the temple as a volunteer, the player can choose whether they want to have sex with a woman or a man
• Once the gender is chosen, a random partner is picked.  This will either be the top liege of the realm (if not the player), a vassal, a courtier of the player, or a randomly generated lowborn.  The text of the event varies slightly based on who is chosen.  The sex scene from the normal visit is then played (these will get more varied when there are more carnalitas events!  My own, or from other compatible mods).
• A female player character can become pregnant while working at the church brothel - either a "Child of God" if with a lowborn, or a "Child of a Priestess" if not.
• Known Issue - a male character working at the church-brothel who impregnates a female visitor will result in a child who has the "Child of a Priestess" trait.  This doesn't really make sense - and I'm honestly thinking of just folding that trait together with "Child of God".

 

Other Changes

• Some small refactors to other events to accept the new event
• I've included placeholder english localizations for french and russian.  The mod isn't in these languages, but at least English text will appear instead of the localization codes.

 

AdroitReligion 1.08b

Fix a spelling mistake I missed

 

AdroitReligion 1.08
Probably the biggest release so far!  Some systems still need work (I still consider the mod WIP), but I wanted to get it out there.
This will require a new game, sorry.

 

Carnalitas is now a requirement
I've been waiting for some sort of framework to build off of to try to keep as compatible as possible for other mods, and Carnalitas seems like it.  I've enjoyed it so far, and it will be required going forwards.  I hope to make use of their special pregnancy functionality once implemented to avoid some of the overrides of the pregnancy and birth events I'm currently doing.  You MUST do a clean install with this update (make sure you delete the AdroitReligion folder in your mods folder before adding the new one).

 

"Visit the Church Brothel" Decision

• From the decision menu, choose to visit the Church-Brothel with a 1 year cooldown (player only, no ai)
• Your character is greeted by your church chaplain, lay with them or choose to view female/male priests, depending on your doctrines/clergy
• Once a partner is selected, fire off a Carnalitas sex event
• As there are not many events available yet, you'll be treated to my amateur attempt at eroticism for any hetero pairing, or the basegame implementation for anything else (I'll try to write more events as time allows)
• Women working at or visiting the church brothel can become pregnant as part of these events - with special pregnancy events
• The child will be born of the father's dynasty.  They won't be a bastard, but they will have another trait that prevents them from inheriting titles from their dynasty
• As a player father, you can choose to "Elevate" such a child on birth (or afterwards), allowing them to inherit normally
• As a player mother, you can choose to make the child of your house instead, and/or "Elevate" them as the father can
• This is probably SUPER imbalanced - you can get yourself a lot of kids with useful inheritances using this.  I've implemented it this way because of some vague, personal fetishes, but I may look to limit/balance them as time goes on, or control it with other game rules

 

"Visit at the Temple" Character Interaction

• Similar to the above, except you can choose this interaction on any individual clergy/volunteer in your realm and jump into the above event change.
• Has it's own independent 1 year cooldown.

 

Game Rules
I'd avoided game rules in the past because I didn't like that you can't change them after game start.  After playing with them in integrating with Carnalitas, I've changed my mind.

• Existing "random priestess pregnancy" decision/setting has been moved to a game rule.  It doesn't affect pregnancies from the new church brothel visit events.
• A new game rule determining whether men will _ever_ be chosen for a role in one of my events.

 

Other tweaks:

• Exalt Lustful Priestess Event: Added an option to "visit" the exalted priestess at the church brothel as a part of the event.
• Chaste Priestess Exposed Event: Toned down fervor loss to -2, more balance tweaks to come in the future
• Toned down notifications for priestess replacements (own court chaplain, family, friends get the full event, everyone else is silent).  May look at re-adding vassal chaplain notifications for player tier - 1.  If you're an emperor, you get notifications for your kings.  We'll see.
• Small localization tweaks.  Most instances where I refer to a Church-Brothel or Whore-Priestess should instead use HouseOfWorship or Female/MalePriest localization keys.  If you use Aphrodesial Christianity from the submod, you'll still have mostly the same names (capitalization is weird in some places, still working on it).  If you use another religion as a base, you'll have theirs.  If you'd like to customize these, you can use my faith, customize in game as you'd like, and update the localization in the submod.

 

AdroitReligion 1.07

• Added a new event involving a priestess or volunteer becoming pregnant while working at the Church-Brothel

 

AdroitReligion 1.06b

• Revert Testing Weights (Make it so the events don't spam you every month!)

 

AdroitReligion 1.06

1. Added the a character interaction to "volunteer" any character who follows your faith and who matches your gender requirements for clergy to participate in any of the existing (and future) events
2. In the future, this interaction will be expanded to have the ability for the target to refuse, and probably be given some additional flavor/event text, for now - it just lets you volunteer your rival duke's wife to be a prostitute.
3. Updated the Ritual Prostitution Doctrine to better handle additional "Carnal" tenets allowing it.  There's a shared localization key now, and any new tenets from other mods can easily be added to that list
4. Corrected some spelling errors
5. Some localization changes - sorry if you liked the old names!  These are still in flux and I'm open to suggestions.

AdroitReligion 1.05
Added the ability to clear out old and ugly priestesses, automatically or manually

• This is implemented using the systems of temporal clergy with ruler appointment with revocations
• For lay clergy, they're your regular vassals, so I think they should be replaced via normal mechanics

How it works:

• Select the "Force Retirement" character decision on any follower of the faith
• Or - wait for the once monthly event to pick them up (if they're over 40 or in some way ugly)
• Either way, they'll be replaced by a new priestess under 30, with a chance to be lustful or beautiful

Also - cleaned up a bunch of encoding and other errors.

Adroit Religion Custom Christianity 1.01b

• Invert Deviancy Check for new tenet

 

AdroitReligionCustomChristianity 1.01

• New, separate, less compatible mod for adding my own tenets and a custom faith
• This mod will likely be less compatible than I'd like - I don't like the way other mods are adding tenets (requiring a new category), and creating my own faith requires me to fully overwrite Christianity.  Use at your own compatibility risk.  You can delete common/religion/religions/00_christianity.txt if you only want the tenets.
• Added Tenet "Unfettered Lasciviousness", which combines Carnal Exaltation, Hedonism, and makes deviant, seducer, and beautiful virtues.
• This tenet may do other things in the future.
• Added "Nude" versions of "Unfettered Lasciviousness" and Carnal Exaltation, that function the same as normal except nude
• Finally, added my own faith "Aphrodesial Christianity", which is the form of Christianity I'm using in my play-throughs.  I wanted to add it as a real faith for a couple of reasons - largely related to the ability to better localize the priestess titles , have my own holy orders, and etc, while maintaining "friendliness" with the other Christians.
