**Description**

Voices of the Court 2.0 – Community Edition is an AI-powered companion for Crusader Kings III that breathes life into your medieval world. By integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) directly into the game, it allows you to hold natural, real-time conversations with characters, track complex storylines, and dynamically influence the game state. From private letters to heated council debates, VOTC makes every character interaction unique and memorable.

**Key Features**

👑 In-Game Roleplay & Immersion

* Multiple Operating Systems Supported: Windows and MacOS.

* Compatible with all CK3 MegaMods: Default prompt presets available for vanilla, A Game of Thrones, LotR: Realms in Exile, The Fallen Eagle, Warcraft: Guardians of Azeroth 2, and Elder Kings 2.

* Real-Time AI Conversations: Engage in unscripted, natural dialogue with up to any 16 characters in Crusader Kings III, powered by industry-leading LLMs.

* Massive Scene Library (265+ Scenes): A vast visual database of over 265 unique scene illustrations that dynamically change based on your in-game location—from candlelit chapels to bustling medieval markets.

* Multi-Character & Group Chat (MCC): Hold complex council meetings or family dinners with multiple characters simultaneously, featuring dynamic turn-taking and a dedicated MCC Selector to choose who joins the conversation.

* Immersive Letter System: Send and receive personality-accurate letters with delivery dates, visual timelines, alerts and a dedicated Letter Manager to track their status across the realm.

* Character Memory & Persistence: A sophisticated "Long-Term Memory" system ensures characters remember your past alliances, insults, and shared history.

* Dynamic Storytelling Integration: The AI pulls real-time data from the game—including stress, gold, secrets, and family relations—to weave current events directly into the narrative.

🛠️ The VOTC Framework & App

* Standalone External Framework: A powerful background application that acts as the "brain" of the mod, managing the connection between CK3 and the AI without slowing down your game.

* Diary & Summary Manager: Automatically generates and organizes detailed summaries of your conversations, letters and diaries, allowing you to review your political schemes and character growth over decades of play.

* Comprehensive Scene Selector: Manually override or browse the dynamic scene engine to set the perfect atmosphere for your roleplay.

* Action Approval System: A "safety valve" that allows you to review and approve AI-suggested in-game actions (like giving gold or imprisoning) before they execute.

* Character Selector Tool: Easily pin and manage characters you want to interact with frequently, ensuring your rivals and allies are always a click away.

⚙️ Technical Control & Customization

* Total Parameter Fine-Tuning: Professional-grade control over the AI’s output through a dedicated settings suite featuring Temperature, Top P, Frequency Penalty, and Presence Penalty sliders.

* Visual Interface Themes: Choose your aesthetic with multiple UI themes, including the high-contrast "East Theme" for night-mode roleplay and the classic "VOTC Original" look.

* Flexible AI Support: Native support for OpenRouter (recommended), OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Gemini, ooba, GLM, Grok and local servers like Ollama or Player2.

* Prompt Builder & Preview: A technical workshop to build, test, and preview custom system prompts to tailor character archetypes and historical flavor.

* Polyglot Localization: Full interface and documentation support for English, Chinese, Russian, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, and Turkish.
