Revolutionize the Princesses and Clergy!

[docjenson84]

I think it would be interesting if there was a mod which revolutionized the role of princesses and the clergy.

These are just ideas really for those more talented and able than I, but I think it would be rather interesting if instead of becoming inactive once married Princesses would stay active and become like diplomats in the game. Further I think it would be even more interesting if a King/Emperor could be succeeded by his daughter if he had no surviving sons. Imagine a Princess becoming faction heir? I think that would give a new perspective to the game. Perhaps also a Queen agent also would be very fun to wield and have; almost like a chess game.

I think the clergy right now are very limited also. Given their immense role in the medieval world clergy should be more powerful. Firstly all provinces should have a bishop (perhaps given the historical title also after a full turn in the city). Then as the clerical buildings increase in provinces so should the role of their priests; for instance a province with a cathedral should have a archbishop and a province's archbishop with a huge cathedral would become "Primate of the Church in [country]." The clergy should also wield more power and serve as diplomats with countries of the same faith.

Also abbeys should be separate religious structures. Provinces should be able to build monasteries or nunneries. With the option of religious orders houses popping up like a guild.

I would also like to give cardinals more influence and power but am struggling to think of what...

I also think royalty, such as princes, kings, and (if made) queens should be more distinctly ostentatious figures. I think the original MTW also had a very good custom and that MTW2 should borrow is that clerical vestments, other than bishop and priest should be more distinct and different.

Also, why is there no coronation video, anyone else think that odd to be left out?

I ALSO THINK GIVEN THE PERIOD OF HISTORY MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL DYNASTY SHOULD BE ABLE TO BECOME PRIESTS/NUNS (PERHAPS AUTOMATICALLY AS A TITULAR BISHOP/ARCHBISHOP/ABBOT/ABBOTESS) BY PRESSING A BUTTON ON THEIR DETAILS LIKE AS IF YOU WERE TO HAVE THEM JOIN A CRUSADE. THEY WOULD THEN BECOME PLAYABLE RELIGIOUS AGENTS.

These are just ideas up for discussion and possible creation by those much more talented than I!

Actually i can't find the spam-content in this post, so i reactivated this post. I see rather some good points in the above thoughts.

The concerning moderator might give an explanation for marking it as spam and deleting it for that reason?

Alot of what you would like to see, I believe, is unfortueately not available for modders to create.

Family members can become more 'religious' through the education system, which allows you to send them to locations with builings with a cathedral or greater.

The one thing I would like to see is monastries, it is truly bizzare that these are not in the game. I know someone did some work on this, but I believe that the difficulty of adding in these building types and making them different for each fraction proved to much for them.

As to princesses I do not like the blandness of them once they are married and would prefer them and the titles they should bring with them to be more included in the traits system. The whole titles concept could do with a review in my opinon, but again you are vey limited by what the CA engine will let you do.

Dear Doc,
I am afraid that your thread is just a bunch of bad news for you. Agents are actually hardcoded, meaning that they cannot be modded. Additionally, you cannot have another agent other than the ones already given. One of my aspirations was to put the MTW mod "seductress" (now I showed my age...) as an agent in M2TW. But I am afraid it is impossible. You can change the model ok, the movement but the new model is gonna replace an already existant agent and have his attributes. Plain and Simple, these cannot be implemented. Sorry to give the bad news.

Monasteries: Will be in a future release, i already planned this to adding them to the tech-tree.

Characters, can be influenced by traits and ancillaries, so slight/light reflections of what is mentioned in the opening post would be achievable, but yes, not in the same way of what is suggested.

Monasterys in the game will be far out!
