Player Can Be Knight
Allow your character to become a knight for your Liege!
NOTE THIS DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE A KNIGHT FOR YOUR OWN ARMY!!! This appears to be a hardcoded limitation of the game
Features:
You can now be a Knight for your Liege
This lets you gain traits, prestige and prowess from combat
Gain a trait that gives a very minor boost to prowess and gives a visual reminder to the player to remind them they’re allowing this
Known issues:
When your character kills another knight in combat you don’t get a notice of it. You still get the rewards, there just is no notifcation
Doesn’t seem possible:
Player character being a knight in their own army-
I’ve tested this out a lot, even enabling everyone in the world to be a knight and it still won’t let you pick yourself. I think it’s hardcoded to not be possible
So I worked on this for awhile and I finally am pretty sure I got all the major bugs out of the way to allow your character to become a knight for your Liege. To enable this mod all you need to do is use the decision to become a knight and your AI liege will now be able to use your character in his army’s as a knight.
Do keep in mind that it takes the start of a new month to trigger becoming available to your liege as a knight that he can use. Also if you choose to stop being a knight don’t expect your liege to take you out of a active army, he tends to wait till the army isn’t needed anymore.
Now as a knight you will be able to get the blade master traits as you do well in combat and also will get rewarded prestige upon wounding or killing a enemy knight. Worth noting though is since the game wasn’t designed currently to have your character as a knight you won’t get any messages that you killed anyone or got rewarded prestige since there’s no support for that.
Now for the people that want to take the risk of having your liege use your prowess skill there’s some things worth noting to protect yourself. The game gives a HUGE base modifier to protect yourself if you have stalwart leader perk from the martial tree. Good news is that it’s a level one perk so it’s easy to get and worth getting since it’s a massive modifier for the player only as protection. Note this isn’t something I added, it was already in the game.
I did lower the chance of the player getting maimed or killed by a little bit to also make it so you won’t be too scared to have a reckless AI use you. It can be a lot of fun to have your character go buck wild helping out your liege and actually use that prowess skill that you’ve been saving and it’s one of the only ways for the player to become a blademaster as well.
Final notes:
Since the game wasn’t build for this in mind I did the best I could to make it work and I’ve tested it out a fair bit and it seems to be working pretty good. But like I mentioned you won’t get any pop ups for how well you’re doing and trust me I tried to get that to work. You can always click on a active fight and see the mini pop up’s that appear to show knights getting wounded if you’re super curious though.
Risks are: You get wounded or maybe even die
Rewards: You get prestige, prowess and traits for being a knight
Also I’m not a super coder so I can’t really promise fixing any bugs that might pop up but I can always try, though it does work in it’s base form currently
