Most jihads go for Tunis, Jerusalem and than later against Mongols, usually in Mesopotamia.
    On one hand, this might be very historical. On the other, it opens the world to Byzantines, what is less historical.
    I think we need to nerf the Byzzantines, while keeping low-probability of jihads.
    But it'd interesting to see how many players also noticed that there're few jihads on the Polis?

    Just out of curiosity, is that historical to set jihads on Constantinople? Note that, on gameplay side, it should be quite interesting.

    I said some time ago a proposal about nerf byzantines and moors...
    For moors is possible make a script or something for simulate the almohad invasion about 1154 with rebel armies of berbers and fanatics units near to Marrakech, Fez and Sigilmalsa, this will do to the players and AI fight against these armies and maybe lost rich settlements and stop the Iberian invasion( it is something similar to bulgarian rebellion for byzantines)
    For nerf byzantines is possible give more armies and strong to rum selyuks at the beginning of the game for simulate the invasion of turks in Anatolia, also make more rebellions and civil wars for byzantines ( it was historical, many emperors were assasinated)

    For Moors, is even more simple: just review the costs and avalaibility of their cavalry units. Without any land-bridge in Gibraltar, spawning Almohads may become an issue, the AI being unable to go and save its settlements in North Africa

    Definetely, historically Venice sacked the city while on Crusade and they were excomunicated . I think Consta should be a Jihad target or even Crusade , at least later in game , since Byz are very strong in almost every game i had

    Not really, that was a crusading army "being obedient" to Venice, not a jihad

    Edit: after a quick search, yes constantinople can be considered as a jihad target (historically speaking ) from this fact:
    Ever since the Muslim prophet Mohammed sent a message in 628 to the Byzantine emperor Heraclius, summoning him to Islam, with the famous assertion, aslam taslam — that is, “submit [become Muslim], and you will have peace” — and the summons was refused, Constantinople became Islam’s arch-enemy. Mohammed even prophesied that the Christian capital would — indeed, must — fall to Islam, with blessings and rewards to the Muslim(s) fulfilling this prophecy.

    Mmmm yes, it can be a issue... But i think that is historical and also inmersive for the game see this almohad invasion and can figth with them... I dont know how is possible make real and playable for the gameplay, so i understand that is not possible that AI can defend these settlement come from Iberia...

    Hey, JoC. It's me again.

    Currently 200+ turns in my current campaign, tweaking EDCT as I go. Mostly disabling triggers that make little sense, like
    - Staying in a village/town/city makes all generals utterly corrupt in no time
    - Generals become lazy because the player is unwilling to micro-manage this trait (send them out of the city they are governing every turn, move around, get them back to the city - why would any player want to do that?), forget the fact the generals are actually governing, which means working (taxes, building, trade tariffs, public order, other duties of a governor)
    - etc. (there's too many, but anyone can tweak them easily to their preference)

    However, there are two major problems that are systemic.

    1. SelfPerpetuating and ClearingHouse.

    Okay, CH is great and I wish you made more CH triggers. That's the only thing that helps. Personally, I find it mildly annoying to read through lists and lists of 30+ traits (contradictive traits, mind you) of every general. E.g. how can a man be Trustworthy and Very Disloyal at the same time? Again, any player can make a new CH for Upright and Disloyal, no big deal.

    SP is the real problem here. It simply doesn't work the way you (probably) expected. Your general just became a father, so he went to the tavern for the first time in his life to have a drink? Congratulations, he is virtually Drunken Heathen from now on, just give him a couple turns (literally). SP triggers fire all the time, thus making each and every general only have EXTREME levels of traits, both positive and negative. I lowered the chance for my own game to the minimum, but they still fire too often (Chance 1 is not 1% in this game apparently).

    I know, a player could turn them off entirely, but I dig the idea of selfperpetuation in theory, only the implementation is sloppy, with all due respect. How about turning this:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    ;------------------------------------------Trigger Coward_Selfperpetuating
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd


    Condition Trait Coward > 0
    and Trait Wantschool < 1


    Affects Coward 1 Chance 3


    ;------------------------------------------


    Into something like this:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    ;------------------------------------------
    Trigger Coward_Selfperpetuating
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd

    Condition Trait Coward > 0
    and Trait Wantschool < 1
    and Attribute Chivalry < 5
    and Attribute Piety < 8
    and Attribute Loyalty < 10

    Affects Coward 1 Chance 3


    In other words, make more conditions. Make high-stat generals be able to protect themselves against your negative traits. Loyalty 10 description basically says the character would give his life for the King and Kingdom without hesitation - some COWARD that is, eh?

    I know it's a lot of work, but if you apply the same logic for all traits (max piety chars aren't likely to have extreme levels of "girls" trait for instance, etc) - the player experience would be so much better.

    2. Ancillaries. Too many ancillaries.

    So many cool features in this mod, so much hard work done. Province titles, offices, crowns, books - but the player can't see these features, because every generals has 8 ancillaries. Why can't we get rid of the useless ones (Biographer? +1 Authority? Even the FL doesn't need him, not to mention regular generals) and make the rest of them trigger less often (everyone and his dog has a retinue of Librarian, Treasurer, Overseer, Tax Collector and other filler they get during education). Honestly, by the time a general finishes his education, there's barely enough space to fit a province title.

    My FL can't grant offices. He comes to the proper-infrastructure-city, gives away his only transferable ancillary (Treasurer), waits a turn for a Keeper of the Privy Seal to generate (his last office holder died a few turns ago), aaaand next turn he gets another Treasurer. Thanks. Can't even transfer this one because everyone has a Treasurer.

    I guess there is no way to code a method of destroying ancillaries? Then can you please make them rare? And as a suggestion, why don't you make the books unique?
    (and not I_WorldwideAncillaryExists)
    I find it a bit irritating when my scholar finds a book he doesn't need, gives it away to someone who does, then finds the same book again next turn.

    P.S.: thank your for writing the code like you did. Very user-friendly and tweakable.

    Hi Lurex, thanks a lot for all these comments. It's exactly what's needed to move modding forward.
    The traits and ancillaries are indeed something that needs working on. You example "lazy" is definitly something that's untouched since SS6.4, or maybe vanilla.

    - I fully agree, see here for a discussion.

    yes, indeed.

    Actually two issues are here:

    - the number of traits a general has - I do think about this issue and I want to limit the number of the traits. Perhaps by cutting down the number of traits. Especially for lower difficulties. One of the goals of my modding is: EACH trait should to be relevant for the player because of the gameplay, not because of the benefits it provides. Take "Disciplinarian" - the player should pay attention because it increased the likehood of morale of troops staying high (so he looks through the generals to pick the right one to lead the army on the offensive), not the direct benefits. Furtheremore, the more important traits should appear first in the list.

    Indeed. This is another part I'm working on.
    For instance, a general will get only one educational ancillary.

    Have to agree with cutting down traits and ancillaries.
    If nothing else fewer triggers means time saved for the AI and the human player.
    IIRC the AI is also tested for these triggers, but has no way of countering negative ones.
    For preference I'd rather we have fewer traits and ancillaries, but make them only positive, so you can't go below zero into anti-traits.
    Ancillaries one can pass between generals and family members, so keep an eye on older ones who aren't up-to-scratch, and pass anything of worth to other generals or family members.
    Then send them off to a glorious death somewhere.

    Scrapping self-perpetuating traits sounds like good idea as well.

    Hey,

    I just came back to check on beautiful SSHIP and downloaded the latest versions.

    You do recommend VH/VH, don't you? Or was it H/H?

    I tested Aragon and the family tree only shows the King and Heir, not the thirs family member in Navarre.
    The king passed away on turn 2.

    The 3rd family member, who became heir, is not visible on the family tree. I suppose when the newly crowned king (aged 50+) dies, the family tree will be useless...

    Is this a bug?

    A couple more questions:
    - Garrison script? Is it somehow implemented?
    - BYG IV or at least supply system is implemented?

    Thanks for the ongoing effort and generosity.

    Have now installed SSHIP latest version with patch.
    Playing as England.
    A few observations.

    Present day Caernarfon in North wales is a evolution of the original welsh "yr gaer yn arfon" which is a better fit than the renderings of Kaerenarvon and Caerenarvon found in the Brut.

    Note there is no letter k or letter v in the welsh alphabet.
    ------------------------

    mercenaries - saxon huscarls in england in 1130s England ?
    Nope none still alive then
    Any that survived the uprisings against the norman invaders had either died or fled abroad by this date.
    They need removing.
    ----------------

    English roster
    professional longbow archers didn't exist in England at this time.
    You might find a few mercenary crossbowmen employed in garrisons.
    Any archers in England at this time would be equipped with longbows, but were poorly trained and used in small numbers.
    Fyrd spearmen and spear militia are the same people in England
    The fyrd being anglo-saxon in origin didn't exist outside of England, so it would simpler to delete them completely so England can recruit basic spearmen everywhere.
    The fyrd went out of use during the 12th century anyway

    Cutting down is easier said than done ;-)
    And simple cutting down (or even softening an effect) without knowing the ins-and-outs of the mechanisms may break the mod. Very dangerous.
    But we'll try to cut down the traits, or at least make each trait meaningful, or appearing only at higher difficulties. Eg. army morale will be now only for VH (the code is here)
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    "Army Morale" system completely re-modded:- now it's not about being in abroad/home, but about the weariness of the troops (obviously, they get wearier when they're abroad, but also after exhaustive marching);
    - two traits fused into one, NGB removed; added trait ArmyIsCamping;
    - it is operational for for VeryHard difficulty ONLY;
    - a full explanation info about the system has been included in the game;
    - each general gets information about state of his troops (with hints how to deal with the problem if morale deteriorates);
    - if the army is in a camp(=resting), there'll be trait informing about this as well (and the morale recovers faster);
    - faster recovery of morale in lands with own religion population;
    - Disciplinarian/BadDisciplinarian re-done: benefits, triggers, effects for other traits, descriptions: the main role of this trait is to make losing morale slower/faster.




    Time of the turn is impacted mainly by the script mechanisms and one or ten traits don't make much change (while one script mechanism is usually multiplied by 28 factions then by the number of settlement etc - exponential increase)

    Indeed, the AI doesn't know about mechanisms and has to be compensated/prevented somehow. It may mean additional triggers:
    Code:
    ;--- AI doesnt know how to deal with this trait -----Trigger AI_Coward_Normalization
     WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
    
    
    Condition not FactionIsLocal
           and Trait Coward > 0
    
    
     Affects Coward -1 Chance 10 
     Affects Coward 1 Chance 3

    Trigger AI_Brave_Normalization

    Condition not FactionIsLocal
           and Trait Brave > 0
    
    
     Affects Brave 1 Chance 10 
     Affects Brave -1 Chance 5
    It may also mean direct bonuses:

    And it should be differenciated between difficulties - so the Very Hard is going to be Very Hard, not Sheeply:

    Anciallries - indeed, pass those useful to the other characters. However, many ancillaries cannot be passed - and this mechanism will be upheld in the cases considered historical.

    There're mechanisms (and they'll be fine-tuned in the future) to make the old mechanism of sending a bad general on the ship to a certain death very costly for the player or impossible for other reasons (it's really not historical, if only the kings could execute anybody with impunity there'd be no rebellions at all - everybody would get killed)

    Garrison script is not there, alas. The modder, tmodelsk, who did it for 092 and was supposed to do it for the mod, suddenly gave up modding and is not willing to come back (I've asked him recently).

    BGR mechanisms in the SSHIP - see my entry here reviewing the issues.

    The supply system is included in the SSHIP (recently somebody has complained about disappearing money during a siege), but it will be remodelled in the next patch and will work only for Very Hard difficulty:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Preparing a military attack
    [note that this system works only at the Very Hard campaign difficulty]\n The sinews of war is money, and money is something you should gather before conducting any offensive expedition. The amount depends on the length of the operation you’re going to conduct and the skills of the general. Be careful to look through the traits of that general and assess the costs beforehand! \n First, you’ll have to pay for your army traveling through enemy lands. If the general has basic Logistical Skill or Advanced Military Education or is accompanied by a Military Engineer you’ll pay 500 florins a turn. If he is a Logistical Expert, you will pay only 250. If he does not have any of those skills, it will cost you 1000. \n Your army may also travel by sea during such an expedition. If your general has Logistical Skills or your Faction Leader has Maritime Interests, you’ll pay 500 florins for staying on board a boat at the end of the turn. Otherwise you will pay 1000. \n Once you lay a siege to an enemy settlement, you’ll have to cover higher expenses. If the generals is a GoodEngineer or is accompanied by a Siege Engineer (ancillary), you’ll pay 1500 florins. If he does not, you will pay 2000 (this is instead of the above mentioned costs of traveling). \n You don’t pay anything if you’re on a crusade of jihad, but you’ll start paying once you the crusade/jihad ends. Bear in mind that there is one-time upfront payment for any general joining crusade. \n The exception to the above described costs are the pagan factions: Lithuania and the Cumans. They always pay 250 florins per general on the move and 1500 per general besieging, and the full price by boat. \n Remember that you don’t pay anything if you’re in home territories. This also means that once you successfully conclude the siege, you won’t pay anymore. If you are just on be border, it is always better to stay on the own side. \n Finally, take note that these costs will not be shown in the financial panel – neither ex-ante, nor ex-post. They will be automatically deducted from your treasury: money will just disappear. However, it will be communicated to you in the traits of the characters and in the messages popping out at the start of your turn.

    Can you please allow the supply system on Hard as well? I dont play on VH due to hyper aggressiveness etc, but H seems like a sweat spot imho. garrison script would also be great, as one of the things ive noticed in my play-thorough is that AI garrisoning its cities very poorly. also, not sure it is intended, but some mercs costs seem a little inconsistent: you can hire skirmishers in Portugal for over one thousand yet the line infantry (spearmen) is available for less than half of that?

    excellent mod though, keep it up

    excellent mod though, keep it up
    Hi Sarkiss,
    well, I just want to have an answer to anybody complaining "why it's so hard with this script". It's actually there at the moment, but now it will be visible for the player (not just sudden disappearing of money), it will be possible to cope with by using the right generals, but it will be more costly if the player doesn't pay attention.

    I'll think about making it for the hard as well, but I'm not sure. Maybe only after the feedback from the players.

    Concerning the AI: the changelong for the next version of the SSHIP:
    "- the 3 AI boosting traits reviewed, fixed, and extended (only in EDCT; there're mechanisms in the script left untouched for now)."

    the relevant code:

    Yes Lifth, about this you know that muslims wanted to conquist Constantinople as jihad tarjet, the big examples are the 2 great arabs sieges at the beginning of the medieval ages...

    ARAB SIEGE 674-678
    The Byzantines had to bear during this century the full power of Islamic expansion. As a consequence, they lost Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Cyprus, suffered assaults in Asia Minor and finally the attack on Constantinople itself took place. In 674 Constantinople was attacked by the Arabs both by land and by sea. The Arabs were unable to storm the walls and had to settle for blocking Constantinople by sea, occasionally launching attacks on the Byzantines over the next 3 years. In 677 the Battle of Silea took place, in which the Byzantines used for the first time their secret weapon, the Greek Fire, a highly flammable substance, of chemical composition that is still discussed today, which caused havoc in the Arab fleet. According to Theophan's Chronography, 30,000 Arabs died in battle. After this resounding victory the Arabs withdrew, although they would try again.



    II ARAB SIEGE 717-718
    In 717 an impressive Arab army launched to conquer Constantinople. The Arab forces were made up of 80,000 men and a fleet of 1,800 ships. With these forces the Arabs intended to besiege Constantinople, prevent the arrival of reinforcements and block the Byzantine fleet.
    The site lasted exactly one year, from August 717 to August 718. During the siege the Arab forces and fleet suffered heavy losses, mainly due to the "Greek Fire". Arab losses were increased by a particularly harsh winter, which wreaked havoc among troops unaccustomed to this climate. Unfortunately for the Arabs, the Bulgarians came to the aid of the Byzantines and in Adrianople the Bulgarian forces defeated the Arabs, forcing them to lift the siege of Constantinople. The Arab disaster was enormous, they lost around 40,000 men and a large part of the fleet. The defeat was not only material, but also psychological, the Arabs would never try to conquer Constantinople again, considering this task impossible. The destruction of two fleets, and the loss of more than 70,000 men in less than half a century, was too hard a blow.
    THE MORE YOU SWEAT NOW,
    THE LESS YOU BLEED IN BATTLE!!!

    I can't download this patch - the file is no longer available, or so it says. Is there another link we can use?

    I'll check that. On ModDB, you have the full package (Mod + Patch).

    Edit: I've checked and the patch is still downloadable. You can also try this link

    Ah, thanks a lot. I tried the link from JoC's post that didn't work; it looks like he removed it.

    Is the change on mercenary cost an intended feature? It's so cheap compared to the previous patch. I don't think I will use it for a while lest I abuse it.
