ck2 [mod] Lesbocracy

[BlackDragoWolf]

for some reason when I adopt feudalism after being tribal Matriarchy I go to normal feudal instead of gynarchy and I'm up to date to this version

[clogfanatik]

Hey all

 

it works but why i can not play with greece, or thessaloniki? can it be why i have made changes that it is not slavik, i use greece and orthodox and nothing is there. Have anyone a idea why?

 

thx

[Eathlome]

I am unable to take concubines as a female tribal.

 

The option is there, but the only effect that it has is adding the "-50 hate" modifier if they are not homosexual.

 

I am playing with CK2 3.1, and have tried with DWF modules installed and just Lesbocracy by itself.

 

Edit: I managed to get it working (I had to have a tribal matriarchy, I think), but all the children get the concubine's dynasty instead of mine (playing with Futa).

[clogfanatik]

There are two different ways to get to a woman-led society.

 

If you have a Tribal government type, then after gaining a certain amount of Prestige, the option to become a Matriarchy will appear in the intrigue menu.  You must be independent, and the amount of Prestige will increase if you're a higher government tier -- Queens need to pay more than Chieftesses.

 

If you're a Feudal ruler, you must take a longer, more gradual path.  You must first increase the Status of Women laws to Full Status of Women.  Then, you need to be an independent ruler of at least Queen rank.  That will open up a new set of laws, the Female Authority category.  You can then use those laws to move to Gender Equality, then Female Superiority, then Lesbian Tyranny if you want to.

 

The most common reasons you wouldn't be able to do this is either you're a Duchess or lower rank, or you're a vassal to somebody else.  My usual path is to start as Matilda of Tuscany in 1066, and build my way up to first becoming Queen of Italy, and then gathering enough power and allies to successfully declare independence from the Holy Roman Empire, but there are plenty of other ways to get your start.

 

Hope that answers your question -- I wasn't quite sure about everything you were asking.

thx for help abraxis00

 

but another question, can it be that when i make the school of sappho that i can not marry one of my loves?

 

i have test it fast play 10 years and can not marry anyone of my loves

 

or must i have a lesbian religion or lesbian dynasty?

 

thx for reading

[Abraxis00]

If you're playing a Feudal character, it'll take a long time to get the ability to marry.  You need to have several events occur over the course of the game.  I don't know all the details, but some are tied to increasing law levels, and others to the new buildings that can be built in cities, 'School for Girls' and 'Female Guilds.'  It may be tied to increasing the 'Legend' meter in the School of Sappho, too.  Eventually you'll get an event that tells you women marrying each other is now accepted.

 

If you have more questions, Buzhidao has posted a pretty thorough guide to the features and events of the mod over on the Steam Workshop.  https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/1533724835/1735467426090778159/  You can probably find a lot of what you're looking for there.  (Though I can still help if you can't figure things out.)

[TearStar]

Does this mod allow you to have children with F/F pairing? I'm only looking for that one - not caring about breaking immersion. (I'm already here).

Searched this question but have not found the answer - nor I managed to translate it to make sense to me.

[Abraxis00]

It doesn't allow direct biological children of two women (it doesn't go that far into fantasy), but it does have alternatives.  Members of the Golden Orchid can adopt daughters.  Members of Tribal matriarchies can attend a fertility festival and ritually conceive a child with the men there. Members of the School of Sappho can use a unique 'conceive a child' decision to hire a discreet man to father a child on them or their daughters.  You can have a long dynasty of lesbian queens who have never married a man, and if you're Golden Orchid, none of them have to even touch a man ever, but it doesn't have anything overtly magical like female-female conception.

[Buzhidao]

So I guess I am back now. Going to start a new playthrough and get to work on fixing bugs and adding new features.

Special thanks to Abraxis00 and lockeslylcrit for their help with the forum!

Certain event pictures aren't appearing - the picture section of the event is simply blank.  I don't know if I've spotted all of them, but notably: the 'walk in a garden' recruitment events, the 'visit the priestesses for a blessing' tribal/pagan event, and several branches of the lesbian orgy event, including the one where you comfort a younger woman and perhaps seduce her.

Have you managed to fix this problem? Usually when there's something wrong with gfx keys, the game falls back to one of the vanilla images. What you describe sounds like a problem with RAM or something (just spitballing here, I have no clue what would be the cause).

• I see you've witten codes for brothels buildings but it's disabled. I know this is a realistic historical mod but brothels are not fantasy, why did you remove them?

Still working on making them more interesting. At this point I feel that they don't add anything compelling enough to have them in the game.

• In my last game I was playing as a Catholic female liege and have passed the female ordination law, but I still cannot give bishop title to female characters. I think that part is coded in vanilla Catholic religion define file which you didn't modify. So what can I do other than waiting all my current bishops die? Should I switch to Cathar for better gameplay experience?

Yeah, that is a known problem - you can't give out temple titles to women if the religion doesn't allow it, even if you modify the theocracy government type. You could try to get a woman to become the Pope, then the Catholic religion will be modified to allow female priests.

• Is the Golden Orchid nations still in progress? I tried once and found the gameplay is very peculiar: As a Tibetan Queen, I can claim Gynarchy by joining the society but besids that nothing has changed. I cannot give titles to male characters but I cannot get female steward by decisions either. It put me in a very awkward situation when I tried to play as a Han Bonist queen and want to convert my Tibetan Buddhist realm. Also, all my county vassals still using Agnatic succession law as usual, which pretty broke the immersion. 

Hmm, you shouldn't be allowed to create a gynarchy without passing all the Status of Women laws first. You should only get access to enatic succession.

Admittedly, the Golden Orchid can be weird, because it doesn't get tested as much as the rest of the content, but I am trying to fix all the problems as they appear.

• Have you consider adding some features about Great Works? I know it's still buggy but still better than the vanilla building mechanic.

Yes! I'd love to do something with the Great Works feature. Sadly, I'm no good with 3D-modelling or drawing, so I'm looking for help on that front before I start making anything.

On 5/6/2019 at 10:22 AM, figandsalt said:

• And also, have you consider adding some features about Amazonians? 

Yes, I am thinking about tying them in with future nomadic content.

I think you need Female Superiority/Lesbian Tyranny to get gynarchy upon adopting feudalism.

Yeah, this problem is caused by a bugged vanilla trigger.

I'll look into the dynasty thing.

Not yet.  It's been a consistent problem over two computers and ever since I first upgraded from School of Sappho, so I don't think it's specific to my computer.  It might be an image formatting thing -- I've speculated that some images are in a format that somehow doesn't work on Macs -- but I can't be sure.

 

 

I'll do a delete and clean reinstall of Lesbocracy soon, and then try the events again.  If they still don't work, I'll note down the exact event IDs, so you can take a look and see if there's anything different about the images associated with them.

Sounds good

[Abraxis00]

So I unsubscribed from Lesbocracy, deleted the files related to it in my mod folder, then resubscribed and redownloaded, and played a bit to get to the events in question, and they're still showing blank pictures.  I took down the IDs of the events that I found -- they may not be the only ones, since I'm sure I didn't explore every branch of the orgy or the tribal festival.  But these are the ones I saw:

 

LES.7833

LES.7844

LES.10006

LES.10013

LES.10016

LES.10017

LES.10106

 

I also took a screenshot of one of the events in question, to show how it looks.

 

I don't know if you'll be able to figure out what's going wrong -- for all I know, it's just something weird about both the Macs I've had -- but it's worth a look.

[lockeslylcrit]

Spoiler

 

It seems to work fine for me. Maybe it's just a problem with iOS? I'm running Windows.

I am also using the downloaded version of Lesbo rather than the Steam version.

[Buzhidao]

@Abraxis00 please go to Lesbocracy\gfx\event_pictures and find the following images:

• justitia_et_pax1.dds
• justitia_et_pax4.dds
• justitia_et_pax5.dds
• turkish_bath.dds
• penitent_magdalene.dds

You might not be able to view them without installing extra software, so just check if they exist for now. You can also go the extra mile and check if images display properly.

If the images are there, you should then go to Lesbocracy\interface and open the file called les_event_pictures.gfx in a text editor. Search for the aforementioned images in the file.

 

tbh, I'm not sure this will help find the cause of your problem, but at least we will rule out the most obvious causes of the bug.
After all that, try copying les_event_pictures.gfx and everything from the event_pictures folder into their appropriate folders in the main game folder and then try running that event again.

 

P.S. have you, by any chance, ever installed the nsfw filter patch?

[Abraxis00]

Just unzipped the lesbocracy.zip file to check on all this.  (That's how Steam installed it.)  All five of those image files are present and accounted for.  I went and downloaded a free program that can interpret .dds files on the Mac, and it looks like they're all intact and viewable.  (I'm also pretty sure I've never seen any of them in game from any event, though I couldn't swear on it.)

 

I then checked event_pictures.gfx, and references to them are definitely in the file.  The only thing I noticed that was odd in that file was the use of the variable 'allwaystransparent', but a web search suggests that's probably how Paradox spelled it.

 

I copied all the files into the base CK2 folders corresponding to them and ran the tribal festival event and the School of Sappho orgy, and the blank pictures were just as before.  

 

And I've never installed the NSFW filter at all.

 

I'm pretty stumped myself -- if I had to guess anything, I would have thought there was something different about the images that made them not want to run on a Mac, but the fact that the program I downloaded can view them just fine makes that unlikely.  Is there anyone else on this forum who uses a Mac, and if so, could they check if this happens to them, too?  It's entirely plausible it's just some weird thing about my setup at this point.

[Buzhidao]

@Abraxis00 one other unlikely explanation is that your Mac has some sort of anti-piracy software or an antivirus that flagged those images for whatever reason. But yeah, the only thing that we can hope for is that someone else here uses a Mac.

Maybe you should also take a look at all the other pictures in that folder? See if you recognise any of them - maybe it's not just those images, it's all of them.

[Abraxis00]

I definitely recognized some of the other pictures -- and I've seen plenty of pictures in your events that I'm positive Paradox wouldn't put in the base game.  (They tend to be a bit nudity-shy, for perfectly reasonable reasons.)  I skimmed through the folder and looked at some random pictures -- there were a few I didn't recognize, but that could just be because I've yet to trigger whatever events are tied to them.

 

Anyway, thanks for trying to figure it out.  I'll poke around a little on my end and see if I can come up with anything, but it may just be a mystery for the ages.  As long as it's not affecting anyone else, I don't mind too much.  (Though if any other Mac users can speak up, I'd be interested.)

Is it possible to unlock Female Authority law when playing as a merchant republic? I saw it requires the player to be female ruler, but merchant republic can only have male ruler.

I also tested the mod by using techpoints cheat to increase tolerance and unlock Status of woman to Full and create the School of Sappho, but the Female Authority Law turn grey in every column. Any help

 

Do I still miss some condition?

[Buzhidao]

@asdffdsacoco if you have the Ruler Designer DLC, you can create a female patrician. It is quite possible to farm enough techpoints within one lifetime to get Full Status of Women (merchants get x2 techpoints). Passing Absolute Cognatic while being the leader of your Merchant Republic will unlock matrilineal marriage for everyone in the republic.

 

If you don't have Ruler Designer, you can become a republic as a tribal ruler.

 

Don't worry about the greyed-out laws. Just wait for a few months or pass any other law

Sorry for the dumb question but can someone tell me if this mod is compatible with dark world fantasy or and futa mods that might work with it?

I've been using Dark world Fantasy and Lesbocracy together from the start and i can't tell of any incompatibility.

I'm also using The Mercenary Commander without issue (although bear in mind the mod will make any daughter of a futa a futa aswell).

 

Futa / women or Futa / Futa marriage will work same as woman / woman marriage.

 

The only thing that could go wrong, is that golden orchid members will still get expelled from the society if they get pregant, even if the father is a futa.

Ok cool thanks that is all I wanted to know. I kinda wanted to try and play a game with lesbocracy and dark world fantasy's futa features to get a more somewhat interesting game. And like create a female/futa dom kingdom/empire. But I was hesitant to try cause I thought it would crash the game.
