Description:

This mod is a redux version of my previous work Vassal Alliances & Call to War.

In that mod, I tried to create a dynamic vassal alliance system. You can request support from your vassals, and the support will change based on your relationship with them. Vassal allies can join your wars.

Although it sounds great, in practice it has various issues due to hard-coded limitations. Fortunately, with version 1.16, we now have the obedience mechanic, and here is the new version of the old VTW.

Because this mod introduces the obedience system to all playable governments. I would like to call it Universal Obedient Vassal now.

Obedient Vassals Can Be Called to War

A non-nomadic negotiate obedience interaction has been installed.
You can see vassals rise to defend their liege.
Sub-vassals will also join the war—you’ll see your vassals’ vassals marching to battle alongside your forces (won’t fight liberty faction though).

Alliances War Weariness

Your allies will try to leave your war. This mechanic is designed for relieving the burden of vassals who no more obedient to their lieges.

So, it won’t be compatible with mods modified governments. But compatchs are easy to make, just add obedience parameters to them.

Compatibility

Save Game Compatible
Save Game Removal Compatible (both in Vanilla)
UOV + AGOT Compatch
UOV + POD Compatch

Balance

I didn’t put too much effort into balancing—everything is kept as close to vanilla as possible. CK3 will stay simple as long as Paradox wants it to be simple. Balance doesn’t mean much to either veteran or new players; what’s important is the role-playing.
