Features
There is a new Character Interaction allowing you to end an existing alliance with your protectorate if that alliance was formed via the Defensive Negotiations perk.
- Often, you will need to negotiate an alliance with a neighboring ruler before you are able to become their protectorate. In that case, the alliance is now wasted. It makes sense that once they become your protectorate, you’d be able to end the alliance if you wish and move it to someone else.
- You can never repropose a negotiated alliance per the Defensive Negotiation Perk to a character you made into a protectorate and then canceled the existing negotiated alliance.
There’s a new Decision to Destroy Sauron & Mordor.
- All Dwarvem Kings will gain access to the special decision to begin the war.
- Only a Dwarf who has reclaimed the empire tier Misty Mountains or Durin’s Folk titles will be able to take the decision.
- Yes, this does mean you’ll have to kill the Balrog and end the Struggle for Moria.
- This is a reflavored clone of the Destory Mordor decision that Gondor gets, just for Dwarves.
Changes to Orc/Goblin/Troll modifiers
- The Orc Society culture pillar that was a -10 opinion for everyone now only applies to followers of Evil faiths (there’s already a base penalty for being a Goblin/Troll/Orc for everyone else)
- I tried to make this only apply to Orcs, Goblins, and Trolls since this is supposed to be a societal penalty where members of Orc Society hate each other, but I’m running into a weird bug that I haven’t figured out yet.
- Being a Goblin, Orc, or Troll comes with an across-the-board general opinion penalty in the base LOTR mod.
- This is a "double-dipping" issue where Goblins, Trolls, and Orcs already get a negative penalty from Orc Society
- Also, evil religion followers shouldn’t hate Goblins, Trolls, and Orcs since they are all followers of Melkor, Sauron, the Balrog, etc
- To fix this, I offset the general opinion modifier for Goblins, Trolls, and Orcs by adding an equal positive modifier for followers of an evil faith
- Followers of evil faiths now have an offsetting popular opinion so that evil characters don’t think less of you if you have the Murderer or Sadistic traits.
- Additionally, followers of evil faiths now get a positive opinion modifier towards you if you are Wrathful, Greedy, or you are a Torturer
