Rulers Expanded 0.3
Rulers Expanded:
Why? More impactful ruler traits can pace your game. A combination of good traits could drive even a small nation to glorious conquest, while negative traits can drive your country to instability in different interesting ways. Extra traits mod the game in ways that vanilla does not. Three examples: underground contacts offering you increased rebel support efficiency, the merchant prince trait offering you an extra merchant, and focused diplomat giving you an extra diplomatic relation slot.
Small countries get access to a couple of specific positive traits, while larger countries can fall into disarray through exploitative (+subject liberty desire) or illegitimate (-1 yearly legitimacy) rulers.
What it does:
– Gives every ruler a second trait on ascension to the throne and one extra maximum trait
– Rebalances existing traits, in general to have a slightly larger effect
– Adds 23 new ruler traits to the game, both with positive and negative effects
– Makes it slightly easier to disinherit and abdicate with regards to prestige and legitimacy requirements
– Lowers the prestige hit from disinheriting from 50 to 30
– A few AI tweaks included
