Praecepta Militaria – Clerici et Milites

Praecepta Militaria – Clerici et Milites (CM) is a submod for Praecepta Militaria, focusing on the tension between the Byzantine state’s civilian administration and its military apparatus. The goal of the mod is to add new estates representing the civil (logothétai) and military service (stratiotai), a new national value representing the overall authority of either the civilian or military government apparatus, and attendant estate privileges, events, and buildings.

NOTE: Many of the estate priveleges and conditional value interactions are under test, do not expect real balance for a while.

Requirements: While the main PM mod is recommended, a majority of the features of the mod can be played independently in the vanilla game. However, several building types from the parent mod make increasing the number of new logothete pops significantly easier.

03/23/2026:

• Major update pass; new laws, updated privilege scaling and unlockable bonuses, more interaction between estates (empowering the clerks will reduce satisfaction of other estates, and vice versa). More buildings added/edited.

Logothete (clerks/administrator) pops now contribute to location development and increase the speed of integration. If their estate power grows too much they add scaling debunks on various efficiency and cost stats.

Soldier pops diminish unrest and increase manpower/levy contribution per location but also may trigger revolts and other crises under a variety of circumstances.

• Rural Judge (Kritai) building chain – push administrators out in to the countryside to assert Imperial control.
• City Hall – Only available in cities, small proximity source bonus.
• General Logothete’s Complex (Genikon) – Main Imperial administrative building in the capital.
• Rural Tax collectors (Praktikon)
• Rural Civic Development Administrators (Leitourgikon)
• Imperial Mint (unique)
• Multiple PM buildings altered to require logothete pops

• ~30 estate privileges.

• Civil Administration – Improve the administrative capacity of the nation at the cost of logothete power.

• 6 new advances
