Christianity Mod r1.6
================

 

Premise
-------
In its early history the Catholic Church was more heavily influenced by women
such as Mary Magdalene. As a result, equality is the norm for Catholics. Women
can hold council positions and lead armies without restriction, and may enter
the clergy. This Church's views on sex evolved in the reverse of its
historical counterpart: lust is a virtue, and chastity is one of the seven
deadly sins.

 

Whores are held in high esteem, and clergywomen are very likely to be whores.
Incest is accepted as normal, but doesn't have the Zoroastrian divine blood
belief. Concubines are also allowed. Adultery is looked on as generally good
because it shows a woman's desirability, but rulers may choose to discourage it
in their wives to avoid succession problems.

 

Installation
------------
To install this mod, follow these steps:
1. Open your "Documents" folder.
2. Locate the "Paradox Interactive" folder within your "Documents" folder and open
it.
3. Locate the "Crusader Kings II" folder within the "Paradox Interactive" folder
and open it.
4. Locate the "mod" folder within the "Paradox Interactive" folder and open it.
5. Copy the "Christianity Mod" folder and the "Christianity Mod.mod" file
located in the same folder as this readme to the "mod" folder.

 

You will now see it in the list of mods when you run Crusader Kings II.

 

Game Mechanic Changes
---------------------
I greatly reduced the likelyhood of getting the inbred trait, as in real life
the danger of inbreeding comes from harmful recessive traits, which is already
handled by normal inheritable trait mechanics. The remaining low probability
simulates multiple bad recessive traits that wouldn't individually merit a game
trait eventually adding up.

 

I lowered the age of marriage to 12, as it was in medieval Europe, because I'm
not selling this and therefore don't need to give lip service to Victorian era
beliefs. The age of adulthood for purposes of guardianship and regency ending is
currently set at 16, as the idea of education lasting until 16 is deeply
embedded in the game.

 

Absolute Cognatic succession law is available for all Catholics, even tribes.
The mod uses custom history files to make about 75% of Catholic titles use
it, while the remaining 25% stick with their original laws. The affected titles
may start with female rulers. Note that West Francia and Lombardy retain their
original rulers and succession laws so as not to interfere with the Charlemagne
events, and Venice and Amalfi are also unaffected because merchant republics are
hardcoded to be ruled by men.

 

Note that the status of women laws, introduced in Conclave, are redundant
for Catholics who are effectively equivalent to the highest level at all times.
The Tolerance tech level requirements for improving the status of women have
been lowered to reflect the influence of the numerous Catholics.

 

Compatibility
-------------
This mod requires version 2.6 or higher and the expansions other than Sunset
Invasion. It works fine with the Your Personal Castle mod, which is recommended,
and with Better Looking Garbs.

 

The EUIV converter works fine for saves created with this mod.

 

This mod is not compatible with the CK2 Plus mod as it modifies religion to be
more historical, which is the opposite of what this mod does with religion.

 

Includes
--------
This mod was inspired by and is derived from nadamod, which in turn uses VIET,
Your Personal Castle, and Duel Engine. Nadamod also used a custom map and a law
mod which are not included here. I've separated out the files from Your Personal
Castle as well--anyone wishing to use that mod should install the regular
released version. As of version 1.6 of this mod I've removed the Duel Engine
files as well. Duel Engine stopped working a while ago, and is no longer being
supported, so the files were just taking up space but not actually getting used.

 

Known Bugs
----------
* Free investiture is hardcoded to only allow men to be nominated as
successors. This is a known limitation which Paradox will hopefully change.
* Only men can take concubines. This is a hardcoded limitation that I can't do
anything about.
* Some characters are created as adults by the game engine and can't be modded
directly. The event that gives women their curves will trigger for women created
this way eventually, but it can take up to six months. This is for performance
reasons, and I may adjust the frequency later.
* Catholic rulers get the "liege is jain" opinion modifier with their vassals,
which greatly increases realm stability. This is an engine bug that gives the
opinion modifier based on a religion's "pacifist" parameter being set to "yes",
as it is for Catholicism in this mod. In the base game, Jain is the only
pacifist religion.
* The status of women laws can still be changed for Catholics, but doing so will
have no game effect. The engine offeres no way to disable that law even when
it's redundant.

Feature.

Thanks for the update, btw I've been wondering for a while, what exactly do my character have to do to get the exhibitionist trait. Could you explain it?

You get it though a "leveling up" process like that used by various vanilla lifestyle traits. The events that give you the chance to improve it aren't common, so it's not easy to get.

So to be 100% clear I need all the expansions to use this?

Yes, except for Sunset Invasion.

The new CK2 patch, 2.6.2, is out today. Christianity Mod doesn't crash outright with it, but it's not supported either. I'm working on a new release now.

[Seavinzz]

your mod having trouble with Reaper DLC.. i find almost my males in My realm got Syphilitic .. and thats reallly bad.. i tried to find the problem but sorry still not finding the problem.. but i already check it with put off your mod and just using Dark World Reborn : Dewguru, and theres no problem... but just find this problem with turn on your mod..

 

Ps: i just using DWR (dewguru and your Mod)

[DawnShadow]

Thanks for this mod, it's my favorite so far.

 

A little wishlist:

 

- No gender limits for seduction. This is my most desired item, since I'll have to change it by hand after every update. (decisions/way_of_life_decisions.txt)

 

- Turn it into a real Christianity mod, instead of just Catholic. The Orthodox especially seems like they should have some of the features from Christianity mod, due to most shared history.

 

- Would it be possible to add some kind of range limit on prostitution? It kind of wreck my suspension of disbelief when characters from far outside the diplo range shows up.

 

- Would it be possible to tone down the fuss over bastards? Especially by characters that follow church teachings.

 

- The gender law buttons, they do nothing. Kind of annoying. Is it possible to set them to full, and prevent them from being reduced for Catholic characters?

Sorry, but it's not something I personally have any interest in. If somebody wants to send me an event for a guardian to influence whether a child gets the Homosexual trait (which controls who you can seduce), I'd be happy to add it.

 

- Turn it into a real Christianity mod, instead of just Catholic. The Orthodox especially seems like they should have some of the features from Christianity mod, due to most shared history.

 

There already is a little crossover because opinions of traits is for all christians, not just Catholics. However, the premise of the mod is that the different attitudes of Catholics are part of the split from Orthodox.

 

- Would it be possible to add some kind of range limit on prostitution? It kind of wreck my suspension of disbelief when characters from far outside the diplo range shows up.

 

Possible, yes, but the limitations of the Clausewitz language make it a gigantic pain to do so. I've had an item on my to-do list for ages to limit potential customers based on level--cheap whores get characters from the same county up to exclusive whores getting anyone in range, for example. So far every time I've looked at it I've decided to go do two or three simpler things instead.  :-)

 

- Would it be possible to tone down the fuss over bastards? Especially by characters that follow church teachings.

 

Yes, that's an ongoing process.

 

- The gender law buttons, they do nothing. Kind of annoying. Is it possible to set them to full, and prevent them from being reduced for Catholic characters?

I think I can just hide that law for Catholics. I've added it to my to-do list.
