Description:

I originally made this simple mod for personal use to play as a female Viking in 867,
but I’m sharing it in case anyone else finds it useful.

Changes to Ásatrú:

Male Dominated → Female Dominated
Homosexuality: Crime → Shunned
Witchcraft: Crime → Accepted

Changes to Norse Culture:

Martial Custom: Male Only → Female Only
Tradition: Performative Honor → Warriors by Merit (Allows men with 10+ prowess to be appointed as champions)

Of course, these changes will work in any start date, not just 867,
as long as the character follows Ásatrú and Norse culture.

* This mod is not compatible with mods that edit 00_germanic.txt and 00_north_germanic.txt (e.g., EPE).
* Since these files are fully replaced, the mod must be updated whenever the game updates.
* If I stop updating it or if you want compatibility with mods like EPE,
follow these steps to manually edit the files:

1) Locate and Copy Files

Find 00_germanic.txt and 00_north_germanic.txt in the Crusader Kings 3 installation folder or in the EPE mod folder.
Copy them to this mod’s folder (you can access it by clicking … in the mod list and selecting “Show in Folder”) and replace original files.

2) Edit 00_germanic.txt
Modify the relevant sections as follows:

#Main Group
doctrine = doctrine_no_head
doctrine = doctrine_gender_female_dominated
doctrine = doctrine_pluralism_pluralistic
doctrine = doctrine_theocracy_temporal

#Marriage
doctrine = doctrine_concubines
doctrine = doctrine_divorce_allowed
doctrine = doctrine_bastardry_legitimization
doctrine = doctrine_consanguinity_cousins

#Crimes
doctrine = doctrine_homosexuality_shunned
doctrine = doctrine_adultery_men_crime
doctrine = doctrine_adultery_women_crime
doctrine = doctrine_kinslaying_close_kin_crime
doctrine = doctrine_deviancy_crime
doctrine = doctrine_witchcraft_accepted

3) Edit 00_north_germanic.txt
Modify the relevant sections as follows:

ethos = ethos_bellicose
heritage = heritage_north_germanic
language = language_norse
martial_custom = martial_custom_female_only
traditions = {
tradition_warriors_by_merit
}

dlc_tradition = {
trait = tradition_malleable_invaders
requires_dlc_flag = hybridize_culture
}

# FP1 Traditions
dlc_tradition = {
trait = tradition_fp1_coastal_warriors
requires_dlc_flag = the_northern_lords
fallback = tradition_hird
}
dlc_tradition = {
trait = tradition_fp1_northern_stories
requires_dlc_flag = the_northern_lords
fallback = tradition_runestones
}
