Feudal Contracts Expanded
A lightweight mod that adds a small number of additional feudal vassal contract options. Used together these options should make vassal inheritance more stable, and much less likely to result in super vassals. Used separately these contracts are great for roleplaying (e.g. Salic Law), or to simulate the consolidation of certain areas.
This mod adds partition options as obligations within the feudal vassal contract (adjusted from special contract terms in vanilla).
Enforced Partition
Enabled by: Default
The Vassal is forced to institute a partition law (Regular, Confederate, or High). This results in -5 Vassal Opinion (this Vassal only), and a 25% increase to the cost of Law changes for the Vassal (unchanged from Vanilla).
Free Inheritence
Enabled by: Default
The Vassal is free to chose any succession law, limited by their cultural innovations.
Endorsed Primogeniture
Enabled by: Vassal Culture has Primogeniture Cultural Innovation
The Vassal is forced to institute Primogeniture (Eldest Child only). This results in +5 Vassal Opinion (this Vassal only), and a 25% decrease to the cost of Law changes for the Vassal (a mirror of the debuffs from Forced Partition).
Enforced Agnatic Succession
Enabled by: Vassal Religion is Male Dominated; Vassal Culture does NOT have Matriarchal Tradition
The Vassal is forced to implement the agnatic (Male Only) gender law. The vassal will not be able to change from agnatic to any other gender law.
This contract right favours the liege. Enacting this right without lowering an obligation, providing a beneficial right or without a hook will incur tyranny.
Enforced Enatic Succession
Enabled by: Vassal Religion is Female Dominated OR Vassal Culture has Matriarchal Tradition
The Vassal is forced to implement the enatic (Female Only) gender law. The vassal will not be able to change from enatic to any other gender law.
This contract right favours the liege. Enacting this right without lowering an obligation, providing a beneficial right or without a hook will incur tyranny.
Royal Favoritism
Enabled by: Liege Culture has Royal Prerogative Cultural Innovation
This vassal right is designed to model royal favourites. It is designed to be used as a particular reward for service, or to reflect special privileges given to individual Vassals.
Reflecting their special role, the Vassal will receive +0.5 renown per month, a +0.5 monthly control growth, and +2.5 legitimacy per month.
The Liege will receive +20 opinion with the relevant vassal, 50% less levies from the vassal than would otherwise be expected, and will receive a 10% reduction to their prestige gain.
This contract right strongly favours the vassal. A Vassal will be required to raise two (2) obligations, accept two (2) liege favouring rights, or have a strong hook to enact this right.
This mod changes the following files:
- feudal_government in 00_government_types.txt
- 00_succession_laws.txt
Mods which also change these files are not likely to be compatible. My modding skills are very basic, and compatibility patches are beyond my skillset.
