Settlement Titles & Effects changes

Settlement Title Ancillaries Changes.

This small mod changes two things:
The text accompanying settlement ancillaries.
The effects of settlement ancillaries with 'role playing' in mind

Settlements changed in the current version (0.6)

Western Europe;

(england & scotland) Nottingham (mercia), London (wessex), Exeter (dumnonia), York (Northumbria), Inverness (scottish highlands), Edinburgh (scottish lowlands), Dublin (leinster), Caernarvon (wales)

(france) Paris (ile-de-france), Cologne (cologne), Marseille (provence), Rheims (champange), Rennes (brittany), Dijon (burgundy), Clermont (auvergne), Caen (normandy), Bordeaux (aquitaine), Bruges (western flanders), Angers (anjou), Toulouse (gascony)

(HRE) Frankfurt

(misc) Bern (switzerland)

Italy Milan, Genoa, Venice, Ragusa, Pisa

Mid-East

Crusader States Jerusalem, Acre, Edessa, Damascus, Kerak, Antioch

Egypt Gaza

Examples of changes;

The 'Count of Midlands' (Nottingham) title is now 'Earl of Nottingham', with bonuses to trade and loyalty as the castle was built to police two vast Royal hunting forests. The title 'Earl of Nottingham' was first created in the fourteenth century, whereas 'Count of Midlands' never existed.

The 'Duke of Dublin' (Dublin) is gone, replaced with 'Lord Lieutenant of Ireland'. The King was 'Lord of Ireland', he appointed a Lord Lieutenant to govern in his stead. The province generates a wealthy but hard governor, reflected in a small tax bonus and increase in dread.

The 'Duke of Normandy' (Caen) is altered significantly. The title has always been in the possession of the English Monarch, bar one or two brief blips. Thus, the title severely affects the loyalty of the holder, whilst generating command and tax bonuses to reflect the great wealth and military potential of the region.


Suggestions, as stated above, are welcome - this will likely be a short-term project, as map alteration mods are in progress that will reject this little modification due to region redistribution. I will not touch the Byzantine Empire, Russian Factions, or Turks; too much politics, too little consensus.

[Silver Legionary]

So, besides the Turks, other Eastern factions(and the Moors!) are fair game?

[Rat-tail]

Sounds good so far, do you plan on working on all the other titles too?

[Ataraxie]

Silver Legionary - I will happily take suggestions for the Moors and any other Eastern faction !

Rat-tail - I'll be working my way Westwards from France, in traditional English style. I probably won't get to do all of them before map changes kick in, but I'll do my best !

To all - I've updated the top post with some sample changes for you - Each title has a new blurb, new effects, and several have a new name for the sake of grammar, history, and role-playing. These are designed with RP-style gameplay in mind, and to assist the AI - some of them are a little powerful/command redundant for old-fashioned blitzkrieg gameplay.

Any suggested blurbs/effects welcome, though in my own versions I have France, England, Scotland and Ireland entirely done.

[The Source]

[The Source]

ive just started a campaign as france, and i must say the changes add to the roleplaying, will you be uploading the holyroman empire, italian and iberian ancillaries aswell in the near future?

[Ataraxie]

I'm back - I'm glad that you got some use out of this, Source !

I'm currently working on a new batch of re-written titles, these ones will be half HRE, half Italian.
I shouuuld have them done and uploaded by the end of the week, weather and the real world permitting !

[The Source]

[Ataraxie]

I've uploaded an updated file, and noted the updates in the top post - I'll change the main "I've changed these cities" file tomorrow =)

[Ataraxie]

Updates with some crusader stuff, an I've tidied up the main post.

Any requests ?

[The Source]
