Ok guys, in the last months there has been a lot of people rightfully "complaining" about the vanilla political system.
CHECK PIGS INTO SUBMOD THREAD
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?793347-Submod-a-political-overhaul-PIGS-Beta_01-(for-DeI-1-2-4a)-TESTERS-NEEDED!
----------
About that, 3 things can be said:
1) the vanilla system is pretty new, so have some patience
2) a political overhaul is coming soon
3) the overhaul intentions are quite vast. They will try to extensively mod:
- political power
- intrigues
- family system
- party system
- event system (incidents/dilemmas)
- civil war
- governments
Explaining properly how this "overhaul" will work is not an easy thing.
There are a lot of scripts and db tabs involved, some things are hardcoded, some are not. And interpolating a lot of factors is not an easy thing. Nor to do, nor to explain.
Moreover, there are new scripting possibilities coming from last CA updates, which will be better studied after the beta release.
The political overhaul will be done step by step, due to the many things involved and for having a better control over balancement.
I'm not sure yet what will be better and what will not. It will require time and trials to understand this.
First beta (almost done) will contain:
- reworked most of the intrigues, rebalance for political power, family system, civil war
- easier possibilities (for intrigues) to move chars between parties or just erase them
- some new features (for intrigues) involving chars in stratmap commanding armies, both civil and military
- some new features (for intrigues) regarding province control and interactions with the pop system
- some new features (through incidents/dilemmas triggered by specific intrigues) to add depth/variability (maybe in the first beta, maybe not, have to decide this yet)
- some other minor things
To devs/tester: please, check the coming soon thread in devs forum
To modders: please, wait for the beta pack/guide to be released, it will considerably simplify your moddings
To players: have some patience
To anyone: please, report here everything you think about the vanilla political system. Please keep reporting and concentrating on beta 1.2.3f features in other threads.
please, upload some mid/advanced save games for various factions/situations, so i can check better
After some testing, the political overhaul will be released as a submod in another thread 'cause I'll need space to rationalise different system/explanations.
Please, don't expect too much from the first beta pack.
