Preview - Governments, Agents, Titles & Biographies

Governments

Albion will feature three forms of government buildings, that will allow for other building trees, as well as law conversion bonuses.

The mod replaces Britannia's cultures/religion with historical laws.
Churches remain, however priests have been replaced with three forms of Judges (Sheriff, Magistrate, Justiciar)
Named according to respective cultures, and will be recruitable under a new tree of law buildings.

These include: The Curia, Curia Regis, and Parliament.

Agents

Among these new building trees, are new recruit-able agents:

Outlaws replace Witches

The Archbishop replaces the Inquisitor, therefore can persecute Judges, as well as Outlaws, as it was historically.

The preview image shows a Monk, and a Friar. However, in game there will be multiple of these types, for ex; The Black Friars, Benedictine Monks etc..
These are based on different levels of priests but have unique ancillaries like herbal medicine, and monastery beer.
They will be available in a separate "Monastery" building tree.

Hereditary Titles

Included in the mod will be all historical Earldoms/Mormaerdoms, Lordships and their hereditary titles and offices, passed from father to son.
If the line of succession for a given title runs it's course, the Monarch will recieve the ancillaries after 2 turns of vacancy.
Therefore, he will need to be regularly looked after in order to transfer those titles, as they will not be triggered to appear otherwise.

Only titles of "Sheriff" and similar will be able to be acquired, if the title is vacant and a chosen general is in that given settlement.

Each starting general, or historically spawned character will have a historical biography in his traits.

These are Scotland's starting general's and Archbishop of St Andrews:
(Notice, Loyalty is now Allegiance, Piety is now Dedication)

Reserved

Also, to replace the Heretics, I was thinking to use some form of "revolutionary" or "recusant", just need to find a proper/historical name.

Amazing work as always! I love your use of MTW I portaits as well btw

Also why not call "Heratics" simply "Dissidents" and then perhaps they could have traits or anciliaries that might effect what kind of "dissident" they might be, be it religious, cultural or otherwise.

I like that idea!

A good question from a member of moddb, I would like to post his question, and my answer to clarify certain small details..

Dendrotheos:

Quick Q though: if religion has been replaced by law, what's the function you've given to monks and friars? Will they be other law raisers or will they function as public order raisers or inquisitors like the Archbishop?

Answer:

There are actually some agents missing such as "Surgeon" that you can put with your armies for morale etc.. As well as culture variants such as Brehons for Gaelic Ireland and so forth.. The monks will be in the same line as judges (no choice in the way the game is built) but it is their unique ancillaries and traits that will make them have bonuses toward "Public Health" and to reduce unrest (so increase happiness).. But they will have much weaker effect on the law side of things, in comparaison to the Judges. I can even negate their law powers by using hidden counter-traits.. They all share "Dedication" as their main trait instead of piety or management as was used in Britannia.. I found Dedication to be more neutral to multiple agent types. The Archbishop is the sole "Inquisitor" type agent.
