Description:

This mod works with any Language!

-> It does not change or add any localization file

Hello from Brazil!

Introduction:

The Royal Court is too critical of a feature to be restricted to Kings only since historically, some Dukes were much richer and more powerful than many kings. Paradox restricted the Royal Court to Kings due to balance issues. Fixing all these issues is a far-reaching goal for modders, but at least we can make Royal Court dukes playable and somewhat balanced. Here is an attempt to make it work built upon the previous work of modders, plus my own contributions.

Compatibility:

This mod changes very few files and is mostly compatible with everything. It will replace any amenities changes from other mods. Don’t worry with loading order.
-> Update: the mod should now be compatible with everything (except AGOT ;s)
-> AGOT Compatch: Chat GPT Flavor Pack (AGOT Super Compatch)

Court Language Issue "Fixed"

One major problem with Royal Court for dukes is the court language problem. Without balance, soon all courts in the world adopt the same language, and this is not cool… We are not playing Lord of the Rings: "One ring to rule them all!". The best attempt to fix this was from the More Bookmarks+ mod. This mod allowed royal courts for dukes in the past, but not anymore! Well, gladly I saved their work, and it is essential for this mod to work! Credits to them! Why they abandoned this feature, I don’t know…

Balance Changes

-> Amenities now offer better values: Bonuses are now more substantial, but the first two levels have either no effect or a debuff to compensate.
-> Rebalanced costs: I’ve adjusted the cost of amenities and grandeur expectations across all ranks and realm sizes, particularly for dukes.
-> Reduced Royal Court events: To counter the increase in court rooms, Royal Court events are now less frequent.

Overwritten Files:

00_court_amenities
00_court_amenities_values
00_culture_values (court_language_ai_score)
00_defines (NRoyalCourt)

Conclusion:

It may seem complicated, but this is still a very simple mod that changes very few files and lines of text. Don’t worry too much about the details. The balance is not perfect, but if you like to play as a Duke and miss the Royal Court, just jump in and enjoy!
