Elder Kings 2 Gender Rules Expanded
Game version 1.18.3.1 and EK2 version 0.18.0.2 Walkabout
This submod for Elder Kings 2 should serve as compromise between The Elder Scrolls universe and feudal Middle Ages setting of Crusader Kings 3.
What exactly it does?
1. New martial custom: Recognition. All men can serve as knights and commanders as well as women with martial education. It was applied to almost all Tamriel cultures instead of “Equal”. Some of them (like Black Marsh natives or daedra), however, remained “Equal”, and most patriarchal and warrior-based of them like Breton Northmen, Colovians and Nords get “Male Only”.
2. Shieldmaidens have returned! Despite the fact that Nords can have only men as warriors they (and theoretically any other culture with Songs of Return tradition) can designate a shieldmaiden in vanilla-CK3 way. Requirements to candidate was changed: liege can make a warrior not only close family, but any appropriate courtier or even herself.
3. Goblins and Riekrs can now mobilize their women as knights in defensive wars. Goblin Onna-Mushas. Finally.
4. Opinion of different faiths to gender equality was changed.
5. Same-sex relations doctrine has been restored and assigned to different faiths
6. Succession laws was adjusted. Most of rulers now has Male preference like in vanilla.
Royal Court and Northern lords DLC are required.
Overwrites files: tradition_nord_core, tradition_fight_for_survival, 00_doctrines, can_be_warrior_trigger and parameter can_be_combatant_based_on_gender_trigger
This mod should work with any new culture and religion. If you have a different view on customs of Tamriel cultures, you can write your thoughts in discussion thread or just change it in on_action file – I’ve left small code explanations in it.
