LOWERING GENERAL AND GOVERNOR RECRUITMENT COSTS

**Get Smoked** · March 13, 2015, 03:33 PM

Basically what the title says. Im playing as the WRE with a mod that allows unlimited use of governors. Every time you recruit a new politician for a position (General/admiral/governor) their price of recruitment increase which I get but the problem is that I'm 100 turns in and its costing my 16,500 denarii to recruit a general which is simply too much and is game breaking. Is there already a mod to get rid of this extra cost or is someone willing to make one?

Thanks

Should be a variable to control it somewhere. I'll take a look and see if I can find it.

Tried to find it but couldn't figure out which ones they were. Sorry

its probably somewhere int he campaign _variables table or the effects_bundles_to_effects_junctions table.

Quickly looking through in the campaign_variables table I found these however im assuming their is a multiplier somewhere in the table that I didn't see that also effects it.
character_recruitment_base_cost 400
general_promotion_cost 1000

A rough and ready way might be to reduce the general recruitment to 1 so that multipliers don't go nuts. Now a general costs me 40k. That's not affordable and is weird.

Hmm, are those changes save compatible? Been trying around a bit and haven't been able to get an effect.

Totally need this! (Or will wait for a patch) Now the cost is up to 68,000 denarri to recruit other nobles characters (playing as the jutes).. I only have 2 left alive so now it's totally messing up the political situation (dominion is like 98%). I have no idea why they are so expensive..

Tried to adjust all of those variables mentioned above but could not get their costs to change at all.

Anyone have any other ideas?
I have a feeling this will be addressed in a patch though...or at least i hope so - it's pretty game breaking.
