More Maidens
In the early game, there is a woman drought. Morven therefore created a More Maidens-feature for his Less Old Wives-mod. The mod, I’m introducing here, is based on this feature. So all credits for the work belongs to Morven.
The More Maidens-feature Morven developed for his Less Old Wives-mod, generates extra girls & maidens for each court at game start. This mod is based on this feature, but its version 2.3 is completely overhauled and enhanced.
This More Maidens-mod generates girls & maidens for each court except for landless adventurers, republic or theocratic governments, but including landless House Heads of administrative noble families. The numbers of generated girls & maidens is limited by the tier of the court owner.
• Hegemons will receive 6 girls & maidens,
• Emperors will receive 5 girls & maidens,
• Kings will receive 4 girls & maidens,
• Dukes will receive 3 girls & maidens,
• Counts will receive 2 girls & maidens,
• Barons will receive 1 maiden.
By game rule, you can choose,
• whether to create low-born, noble or no girls & maidens;
• whether to create girls & maidens of the same rank or a mixture of both ranks;
• whether to create girls & maidens only at the start of a new game or every 5 years.
Kings, Emperors and Hegemons will only receive noble girls & maidens independent of the game rule settings, whereas Barons only have a 50:50 chance to receive noble girls & maidens.
The created girls & maidens will be between 16–19, 12–15, 8–11 and 4–7 years of age.
By a second game rule, you can limit the rulers receiving girls & maidens by tier. And a third game rule allows doubling the numbers of girls & maidens created.
The fourth game rule determines whether the creation of girls & maiden occurs only once at the start of a new game or every 5 years.
Furthermore, this More Maidens-mod provides two decisions to invite either 3 low-born maidens or 3 noble maidens. The decisions have a cool-down time of 5 years and can not be triggered parallel. Moreover, this decisions will not be available during the first 3 years after game start.
IMPORTANT! It turned out, that designing your own ruler might cause problems, if the on_game_start_after_lobby-function in on_action.txt file is used to trigger the More Maidens event. Therefore, this will be done by the on_game_start-function. So to make sure, the More Maidens mod is working properly, you’ll have to set your game rules before creating the map (leaving the lobby).
This mod contains an English and a German localization. For all other standard languages, I added a localization using the English language.
There aren’t any incompatibilities to expect, because this mod doesn’t use or change any game files.
The creation of maidens, that is executed at the start of a new game, has no effects on a saved game. The recurrence every 5 years will only be executed, if the according game rule is set for the played save. But the decisions to invite maidens will be available in an already stared game.
This mod is compatible with ironman, but achievements won’t be available.
