Enhanced Dynasty Legacies

The goal is buffing weak legacies to be more competitive, adding more legacies, and designing legacies for each dynasty (including AI dynasties) member, not just the player and rulers.

Made some limited Legacies more accessible.
Unmentioned Dynasty legacies are unchanged.

The Blood dynasty track was distributed on other tracks, why? Most effect were for making eugenics programs easier. A thing only a player can make use of, so AI dynasties picking the Blood dynasty track effectively meant wasted renown.
Heroic Bloodline and Legitimacy merged, they are a bit weak, don’t do much for none rulers and AI, and Heroic don’t have a clear long-term purpose, so I merged them to make up for their value.

feedback and discussions greatly welcomed, I plan to update this mod periodically, but remember the aim of this mod is to buff the weak legacies and add new Dynasty legacies that are serves both the player and AI, and all members of the dynasty, with greater focus on rulers of course. after all legacies effect both the player and the AI all the time, impacting both strategizing & role-playing.

Thinking about adding a knighthood dynasty track that focuses on chivalry, personal abilities etc. while making the warfare legacy about waging war, command, and troops management. So buffing the armies and the ability to wage war. In case I add a knighthood legacy, what do you guys think about cb similar to the struggle cb for warfare legacy?

Other than knighthood legacy, I have plans for Devotion/zealotry & Tradition Dynasty legacy,
the idea is to improve playing with big cultures, since right now its weak/suboptimal. maybe artifact stuff?

the mod is designed with compatibility in mind, but in order to make engaging changes to legacies I had to edit directly unrelated files, I avoided the contested ones for the sake of greater compatibility, compatible with everything that doesn’t change the Dynasty legacies I changed, or the following:
spar_with_knight_interaction
post_education_bonuses_effect (only effects guardians can transfer commander traits)
learn_language_outcome_events
legitimacy_intent
deceitful_progress_hostile_schemes_decision
impatient_rushing_all_schemes_decision

not mid save compatible, both removing and adding

many thanks to kalanyr for helping me with modding, especially coding, this mod wouldn’t been possible without kalanyr help.
Thanks to soggy cheerios for allowing me to use his work as a base
thanks to bravelildragon for the tracks icons for the new legacies

If the open legacies button is off-screen, I highly recommend using Scrollable Legacies by Etshy.
