Auto Best Council
Auto Best Council
Automatically keep your council staffed with the strongest eligible courtiers and vassals.
Features
- Optimizes your council immediately after loading a campaign.
- Rechecks every month.
- Automatically fills empty council seats.
- Selects candidates using the correct skill for each position.
- Only replaces councillors who can legally be fired.
- Includes a manual Optimize Council decision.
- Respects normal council eligibility and appointment restrictions.
Configurable Swap Margin
Choose how much better a candidate must be before replacing an existing councillor:
- Aggressive — 1 point
- Default — 3 points
- Stable — 5 points
Empty seats are always filled regardless of the selected margin.
Council Opinion Changes
- Removes the Powerful Vassal without Council Position penalty.
- Removes the opinion penalty for firing a councillor.
- Increases the opinion bonus for serving on the council to +25.
These opinion changes apply globally, including to AI realms.
Scope
Council automation applies only to player-controlled landed rulers. It does not run for AI rulers, landless adventurers, or nomadic rulers.
Compatibility
The automation uses its own scripted effects and triggers. Mods that also change council opinion defines, the fired-councillor opinion modifier, or the vanilla firing effect may conflict.
Supported version: CK3 1.19.*
