    THE SETTLEMENT POLICY

    The Tsardoms Settlement Policy System was developed to represent the factions attitudes towards the provinces they conquer. Would they grant autonomy and other privileges to their new territory, slowly gaining the loyalty of local leaderships at the expense of financial gain (i.e. a bigger chunk of tax and trade money generating in it will remain there)? Or would the new overlords start their rule with a tight iron fist grip, taking full advantage of the taxes and trade generated there, needing larger garrisons to oppress potential discontent within the population and local nobility, disencouraging revolts? There are two clearly distinct paths to be followed, with different pros and cons: one which grants autonomy; the other forces the integration with the new owning faction. These different attitudes are also not global; one faction can be rather lenient with one of their new provinces and somewhat tyrannical with another. Hence the name settlement (specific) policy.

    The way this is implemented in-game is simple. One single "settlement policy building" chain per faction, with the following structure:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    The effects need to be fine-tuned, but basically core autonomy grants public order bonuses and every level gradually makes available new units, while forced assimilation gives access to all the autonomy 3 units but gives public order penalty. I plan to give the autonomy path a trade penalty (since the tax penaly mechanic is broken in the engine) but have not tested values for balancing yet.

    Explanation

    - Basic administration: a province was conquered or bought by the faction. These are the first steps taken by the new overloards in order to assert its power. Only the 1st level of troops, the most basic units (mostly peasants and AoR, I believe) are recruitable until a further development of the faction's grip over the settlement. Effects: PO +5% (Law).

    After that, the faction's central government chooses between two paths:

    - Autonomy: the government decides it's best to "get on the good side" with former ruling class granting them privileges in order to smoothly and steadily assert it's power over the new province. It has 3 levels:
    - Autonomy 1: lot's of privilege to the former ruling class. 2nd level of troops are available. Effects: PO +5% (Law), PO +10% (Happiness), [possibly] -2 level trade income penalty [to simulate the money staying with the local ruling class, since the command for tax penalty is broken and doesn't work; otherwise, I think the AI will always pick autonomy and never force assimilation. Haven't tried this penalty yet]
    - Autonomy 2: a loss of some privileges. They are less happy about it, but we get next level of troops and possibly less trade penalty. Effects: PO +10% (Law), PO +10% (Happiness), [possibly] -1 level trade income penalty.
    - Autonomy 3: only minor privileges remain, other than their symolic nobility titles. Next level troops are recruitable. Effects: PO +15% (Law), PO +10% (Happiness),

    OR

    - Forced Assimilation: the government decided to assert its power through force, crushing resistence by the former ruling classes and granting them no privileges. High level of unhappiness, but no economy penalty and can recruit right away the same troops as Autonomy 3. Effects: PO +10% (Law), PO -25% (Happiness).

    Whatever the path chosen previously, the next step is the same:
    - Territory cession: the population and former ruling class have been appeased (or were forced into submission...) and have have no opposition in being a part of the faction. A treaty is signed. Effects: PO +15% (Law), PO +10% (Happiness), Population health +1

    The other two are just the the core region (only in certain regions per faction, considered the faction core) and the region capital, similar to the core only it's in very important regional cities.. Effects: PO +15% (Law), PO +15% (Happiness), Population health +2

    UNIT RECRUITMENT AND THE SETTLEMENT POLICY

    To give gameplay importance to the settlement policy, every single unit has settlement policy levels as conditions for (regular) recruitment.

    Some stuff might be outdated, but here is a summary in more detail from back when I implemented Ragusa as a trial faction.

    Recently, I also managed to tie all the building constructions to the policy buildings.

    CLARIFICATIONS

    - The regular recruitment is completely customised, not vanilla at all.
    - It is functional, there are no CTDs related to the settlement policies and recruitment.
    - It is (and will always be due to the engine being broken this way) not possible to have a building simultaneously with effects and with recruitment conditioned to other buildings presence (settlement policy), or it will CTD whenever you open that buildings information screen.

    CUSTOM RECRUITMENT

    Our recruitment system is a very important and special feature in our mod. So, in this thread I am hoping to clarify all questions and misunderstandings about it.

    UNIT RECRUITMENT - BASIC CONCEPTS

    In Medieval 2 the units can be recruited in two ways: regular recruitment (inside a settlement with specific buildings like barracks, etc) or mercenary recruitment (only outside of settlements by a general). These two types work in different ways.

    Regular recruitment is set in data\export_descr_buildings.txt (EDB), with each building that recruits units listing the ones it recruits and the conditions for them to be recruited (only these factions; only available again "x" turns after last recruitment etc). Conditions can also include: hidden_resources, trade resources, or buildings. All these conditions can also be used for effects like public order and to construct buildings.

    Mercenary recruitment is set in specific mercenary pools listed in data\world\maps\campaign\[campaign name]\descr_mercenaries.txt. These pools are tied to specific regions.

    UNIT RECRUITMENT AND HIDDEN_RESOURCES

    The first thing to understand is what are hidden resources. I've seen people mixing them up with trade resources, but they have nothing in common other than the name. Hidden_resources are no more than "invisible tags" listed in the start of EDB and assigned to regions in descr_regions.

    Their function is mainly to limit a recruitment or a construction to specific regions.
    The famous "Area of Recruitment" (AoR) units available in the regular recruitment only in regions with the hidden_resource that represents their region. Another possible way to do it is to condition these recruitments to the presence of EBII description buildings (e.g. "Macedonia", with description of the region). It works exactly the same but the use of hidden_resources is more common.

    In Tsardoms, however, it's more complex than that, because the AoR interacts with the Settlement Policy system, even using the same hidden_resources.

    REGIONAL TITLES ANCILLARY SYSTEM



    Tsardoms Total War features a title system which is linked to controlling certain territories. Most of the settlements in the game have a certain title ancillary attached to it (currently only Eastern Europe, the Balkans and Greece have ancillaries in every single settlement, Germany, Italy and Anatolia do not have all of them yet but are partially done). In order to obtain the ancillary generally a general must spend 1 turn in a settlement which has a level 1 feudal estate built. The next turn he will have an ancillary with the name of the title and its effects.

    Generally, the title ancillaries are of 3 types:

    - Imperial ancillaries (such as Holy Roman Emperor, Roman Emperor, Latin Emperor of Constantinopole and so on)
    - Major ancillaries (such as King of Hungary, King of Naples and so on)
    - Minor ancillaries (such as Ban of Severin, Knez of Knin and so on)

    Generally, the titles differ based on the 3 major religions Orthodox, Catholic and Islamic. Sometimes the ancillaries will be the same for all Christian religions.

    The ancillaries all have bonus effects such as additional command points, additional law, farming income, trading income and so on. The harder it is to obtain an ancillary the higher will the bonuses be. The Imperial ancillaries have the highest bonuses.

    The following imperial ancillaries are currently available:

    - Roman Emperor - must be an Orthodox faction, faction leader must spend 1 turn in Constantinopole, patriarch must be in Constantinopole
    - Holy Roman Emperor - must be a Catholic faction, faction must hold the title Archduke of Austria, faction must be in top 5, faction leader must spend 1 turn in Vienna
    - Latin Emperor of Constantinopole - must be a Catholic faction, faction leader must spend 1 turn in Constantinopole, bishop must be in Constantinopole, requires Prince of Achaea, King of Thessalonica, Despot of Epirus (not yet implemented)
    - Kayser (Sultan) of Rum - must be an Islamic faction, faction leader must spend 1 turn in Constantinopole, requires Beylerbey of Rumelia, Beylerbey of Anatolia (not yet implemented)

    The following major ancillaries are currently available:

    FORCED DIPLOMACY

    Tsardoms has implemented forced diplomacy!

    What does this mean? Basically, the player can now use a way to side step the AI's stupidity when it comes to diplomacy. If you make an offer to the AI and you want to force it to accept it just press the "show me how" button in the upper right corner. Close the advisor that pops up and make an offer which will be accepted.

    Of course relations will still remain poor, so even if you force the AI to make peace for example there is no guarantee that they won't attack you again in a few turns. And there is also a lot of scope for players abusing this mechanic. But it is up to every player if they want to use it or not.

    Sorry the guides are a bit out of date, haven't had time to remove them.

    You don't need a priest/bishop/patriarch for any of the major coronations, that was the theory but it doesn't work in practice.

    Thanks you for pointing out Shumen requirement! The settlement doesn't exist anymore but the requirements for Tsar of Bulgaria haven't been updated.

    Does one have to capture Milano to receive 'king of Romans'?

    You just have to stay your faction leader in Milan.

    Thank you, I didn't want a war with the Duchy, someone still holds the title so war with someone it is

    Yes, the islamic titles are completely different from the roman themes. They have sanjaks, beylerebys etc. But haven't had time to write a guide for them unfortunately. Hopefully in the future I will write one for them too as they are just as comprehensive and complicated and fun.

    For anyone wondering as I first had when I started playing this mod: If it says your faction leader needs to become Duke of Austria, which only he can(for example), he doesn't need to hold all the titles, it's not necessary, he only needs to spend a turn in the capital. (yes he can hold other ancillaries). If there's no room in the ancialries section(retinues), he will get the titles in the trait section.

    Actually, you do need those titles but the faction leader doens't need to have them. Anyone in the faction can have them, this is for all the title requirements. The titles just need to exist within the faction. Once the titles exist in the faction you can send the leader to Wien to get the title of Duke of Austria. So in your case there must be other characters that hold the titles of Count of Schaunberg (Linz) and Count of Freiburg (Freiburg) which is pretty normal as the starting characters in those settlements would automatically get them in the second turn if you leave them in those settlements.

    Also, the title in the trait section is not the same as the ancillary. When you get a title you get both a trait and an ancillary. So in your case you need to move some of the ancillaries that you have (drag and drop) to other characters so that you can get the ancillary.
