To what extent are the household pool and the political system are they modable* ?
Just asking to know if there is any way to make this game more character driven. I don't know much about modding, I only knew how to mess with the db files, using PMF with Shogun 2, but this, for exemple, is the dream I had concerning a family tree ersatz :
I dreamed it would be possible to create some ancillaries that would affect all the political system. It could be a "conqueror/germanicus" ancillary that would spam if one of your generals conquered a whole province ; thus allowing him to triumph but creating huge penalties in the political thing with other families. It would be also the first step on a republic to empire revolution and enable the spamming of a "crown" ancillary that would make your general the official ruler of the faction but in the same time instantly ignites a light version civil war.
So, those retinues would have huge bonus/malus and would spam in the pool after some scriptable event. They would be transmitable to other generals (just like BGR system for SS6.4). The "crown" ancillary could be transmited to a younger general when your king is growing old, and if he dies before transmitting it there would be no official heir, therefore instant chaos. Etc....
We don't have a family tree but we have 2 features, a generals/statesmen pool, and a retinue pool that can be replaced and transmited, etc... Maybe it's enough to create a coherent and exciting political mod.
Anybody would have the patience to explain me if this is just plain utopia or if it's possible ?
* and does this word "modable" even exist ?
EDIT : I mistook retinue for ancillary
