Empire Vassal the Elector Counts
Why this mod?
For me, the Empire is not one unified faction – but a nation of factions, unified by their culture. As such – I never liked that the system went from neutral trade partners > now you own them and you can forget about them.
This mod is my attempt at ensuring the political events and machinations of the Empire continue throughout the campaign – by giving you the option to vassalise an elector instead of confederating them. This should work for Gelt – but has not been tested.
How does this change things?
1. You cannot assign characters to elector positions/ receive an elector ancillary with a vassal.
2. Vassal Electors DO provide you the ability to recruit the special elector troops – but it takes a turn to take effect.
3. Vassal electors are still politically active – meaning fealty can drop, and they can still secede.
4.You can still do confederation events for vassals every 10 turns, assuming fealty remains at 10.
5. Vassals can get outposts, have allegiance points and of course you can borrow armies/ recruit their units.
Possible plans:
1. A system to set up a new Elector for Sylvania to have as a vassal.
2. A way of buffing up allegiance points for elector vassals.
3. A way of buffing income from elector vassals.
4. perhaps new events.
Compatibility
This mod does edit the empire_politics script – so will conflict with other mods that do this.
