[AGOT sub-mod] Handmaiden Events
Compatible with AGOT 1.6.1.
—————-
I’ve recently played through the Telltale GOT game and came out of with a depression some ideas about handmaidens.
Handmaidens currently exist in the mod, but are basically forgettable. You may get an event very occasionally to appoint one, that’s it. What I saw in the Telltale game though was far more interesting, with handmaidens trying to use their position to get boons for their family at home, or trying to get a high marriage, etc.
So since I didn’t see anything existing like it, I’ve started work on a mod for it.
Consider this version 1, there’s more I’d like to do but there’s only so many hours in the day. Two events (plus reactions) are included, as well as some tweaks to the handmaiden title.
Not that extensively tested, but I think it’s working fine for what it is.
Current features:
* Handmaidens can be as young as 14
* Female rulers can now appoint their own handmaidens (a strange oversight in the current system IMO)
* An (AI) ruler can send an unmarried daughter that is not an heir to a friend’s higher court to serve as handmaiden
* Handmaiden friends: if you/your wife has more than one handmaiden, they can become friends… or rivals
Possible future ideas:
* Handmaiden spy game: a chance of a handmaiden overhearing a plot by someone else at court, and reporting this to their employer
* Handmaiden rivalry: If two handmaidens are rivals, the employer will need to choose which to keep in their employ
* Handmaiden marriage: a handmaiden may petition the employer for a marriage (like how unmarried male courtiers already do)
* Handmaiden family help: a handmaiden can introduce her father/family head to her employer in the hopes of them becoming friends
