# Balance
###################
- Minor clan revolt troops are no longer inherited, and the leader of the uprising now has more money, prestige, population and manpower as well as two sons to succeed him
- If you grant a title and all titles below it to a child while following a religion that uses bishops, the temples will now have bishops generated rather than not get handed to the recipient
- "Cultural Bonds" no longer causes an alliance, but instead allows other independent characters of the conqueror's culture to join them in defensive wars. The AI is likely to do this if their opinion of the defender is positive and they're not busy with wars of their own
- Allowed vassals to press de jure claims against their fellow vassals again (though the AI won't)
- You'll now lose some Threat if dying causes you to lose land
- When the holder of a viceroyalty dies, they'll now be replaced in wars by their regular heir, not their liege

- Overthrow Ruler will now give the ruler a claim on the title if they accept the demands
- No longer possible to usurp titles from the vassals of a revolting vassal
- Capitals can now be moved every 50 years rather than once per lifetime. Nomads still get to move it every 10 years
- Merchant Republics with too few patricians will no longer draft people who are heir to a title to become patricians, since this risks disinheriting them
- No longer possible to ask to join a war against someone you have a non-aggression pact with
- The "make my court/vassals speak English" events can now trigger if one's a vassal of Britannia rather than England, and can trigger for the king/emperor as well, not just their vassals
- The prestige you get from being a consort now scales with the tier of your spouse. Reduced the prestige to half. Now it ranges from 0.5/month from a baron to 2.5/month from an emperor
- The capital duchy of a title, if held by the title holder, will under elective/tanistry law now always follow that title's succession, even if your heir is not playable for you. Counties, baronies, and other duchies will still revert to primogeniture in that case
- Now possible to give temple holdings to children if that does not risk disinheriting them
- No longer possible to appoint someone to your council when they're part of a faction that's sent you an ultimatum; this could be exploited to have them leave the faction, giving you an easy win in the faction war, or invalidating it entirely
- When non-primary war participants die, their primary heir will now stay in the war if the inherited title ends up as their primary title, and it'd be possible for them to ask to join the war, or be called in by the war leader

- Fixed the logic for the AI being willing to move to your court based on you being able to press their claim(s) sometimes being wrong

set_quest_target = { # scope is the entity being targeted (can be a character, a title or a province). if the quest exists, the target is changed, otherwise the quest is created
id = quest_id
society = optional_society_name

}
set_quest = { # scope is the character who gets the quest

is_landed = yes # example

}
any_quester = { # will apply the effect to all characters with a quest, who fulfill the limit

A seguito del rilascio del DLC (a proposito, qualcuno l'ha comprato e può darci la sua opinione?) sono usciti alcuni DD che però sono concentrati su patch e modifiche relative sempre a Monks & Mystics. Provo a fare un riassunto breve.

Dev Diary 45: The Adjustment Bureau
Qua si inizia subito a parlare della futura patch 2.7.1. Prima di tutto verranno aumentati i rischi nell'essere un adoratore del demonio: i membri saranno più brutali gli uni con gli altri, la probabilità di essere scoperti aumenterà e i tuoi vicini potrebbero ottenere la possibilità di dichiarare Holy War contro di te.
La missione del Cappellano di Corte di trovare gli apostati è stata cambiata: ora sarà più efficace e gli accusati subiranno sorti peggiori. Ovviamente è anche possibile che il Cappellano si sbagli e accusi erroneamente un innocente o semplicemente una persona appartenente a una diversa società segreta.
Per quanto riguarda gli Ermetici, ora tutti gli ingredienti che possono raccogliere avranno un utilizzo appropriato. Questi infatti potranno essere usati per migliorare i risultati (o alleviare gli effetti negativi) di una moltitudine di eventi, soprattutto quelli nuovi relativi agli Ermetici.
I Culti Religiosi Segreti subiranno anche loro un miglioramento, con maggiore coinvolgimento di tutti i membri e un maggiore dinamismo.
Sarà inoltre possibile donare artefatti ad altri personaggi, ottenendo un piccolo bonus di relazioni. Sarà possibile donare solo oggetti considerati di valore da chi li riceverebbe, quindi ad esempio non si può donare il Santo Graal a un pagano.

Le Fazioni hanno subito un importante bilanciamento, con molti miglioramenti. Ecco la lista:

Spoiler

- Massive update to Faction balance!
- The AI will now no longer join the Increase Council Power faction if they like their Liege 50 or more (down from 80 or more).
- Voter AI's will now be more likely to join Increase Council Power factions the more faction laws are set to 'Ruler', the steps are 2, 4 and 6.
- Non-Voter AI's will be less likely to join Increase Council Power factions the more faction laws are set to 'Council', the steps are 2, 4 and 6.
- The Increase Council Power faction has had its effect doubled (it now enacts two laws).
- The Increase Council Power faction now also revokes one level of 'Vassal Wars' laws.
- The AI is more inclined to join the Increase Council Power faction if their liege has enacted a 'Vassal War' law.

- The AI no longer wants to institute Elective Monarchy unless all council powers are enacted (except for Council Authority).
- The AI is less likely to join the Elective faction if their liege has Gavelkind succession.
- The AI is less likely to join the Elective faction unless their liege is a tyrant.

- The independence faction is more attractive to the AI if their liege is a Tyrant.

- The AI in now more inclined to start and join the Gavelkind faction.
- Discontent Councilors are very inclined to join the Gavelkind faction if the liege does not have all council powers enacted, if all powers are enacted they will prefer the Elective faction.

- The AI is now much more likely to stay by their backed Claimants.
- The AI is slightly more inclined to start factions backing women.
- Having bad opinion of your liege now makes the AI more likely to back a claimant.
- The AI is way more likely to back claimants that are part of their Society.
- The AI is way more likely to back a claimant if their liege is a tyrant.
- The AI is way more likely to back a claimant if they hate their liege.
- Culture is now less of a factor for the AI when backing claimants.
- The AI might join claimant factions even if they themselves have a claim on the same title, but it is still rare.
- The AI will now not back claimants if they like their liege by 40 or more (used to be 50 or more).
- Being a Sayyid/Mirza now only matters if the claimant is also Muslim.
- Having better opinion of the proposed Claimant now matters much more for the AI.
- More traits now affect the AI chances of joining the Claimant faction.
- The AI is now less likely to start another Claimant faction war if their liege is already fighting in another Claimant faction war.

- The Overthrow Liege faction is now unattractive to the AI if it is backing a claimant already.
- The AI will no longer form the Overthrow Liege faction if their liege is not a tyrant.
- The AI will now only use the Overthrow Liege faction if they hate their liege (-40 or lower for most AI's).
- The Overthrow Liege faction will now also enact two Council Power laws upon success.
- The Overthrow Liege faction will now only institute Elective monarchy if all Council Power laws are set to 'Council'.

- The Overthrow Liege faction now revokes any active vassal war laws.

Dev Diary 47: For the Faith!
Qui si parla dei miglioramenti relativi ai Culti Religiosi Segreti. All'inizio il culto segreto era un Tratto (ciascuno diverso e creato dagli sviluppatori), ma ora si è deciso di rifare completamente il sistema. Ora i Tratti sono automaticamente generati, così come i Culti stessi. In questo modo, tutte le religioni (basta che siano presenti a inizio partita) avranno un culto religioso segreto associato.
Inoltre invece che come tratto il culto segreto viene mostrato a fianco dell'icona della religione pubblica.

Inoltre si possono ora ricercare altri membri della propria religione segreta:

Inoltre ora i membri dei culti segreti saranno più attivi nel cercare di reclutare nuove persona, nel bene e nel male. Tuttavia sarò più difficile far entrare nella società dei personaggi che sono Zelati oppure con titolo di Re o Imperatore. Bisognerà inoltre fare più attenzione al Cappellano di Corte:

Sono stati aggiunti nuovi eventi per convertirsi segretamente alla religione della propria sposa, di una concubina o di un amico. Si può anche provare a convertire segretamente una provincia sotto il proprio controllo diretto (anche se è l'Holy Site di un'altra religione).


Gli adoratori del Demonio che non sono attenti e utilizzano i propri poteri apertamente dovranno guardarsi dai fratelli Winchester i Cacciatori di Demoni. Ci sono vari tipi di cacciatori di demoni (tra cui Buffy) e sarà possibile incontrarli più volte:


Di seguito un elenco delle modifiche relative alle società segrete utili per i modders:

Spoiler

- FROM in on_character_convert_religion and on_character_convert_culture is no longer a temp character, but instead the culture/religion itself. This only provides access to comparing to the culture/religion (or group). It should also still work to set cultures/religions and such. Please report any issues encountered with it. This change also means that it should now be possible to reference the previous characters outside "immediate" and similar without the game crashing

- same_society_as trigger will no longer be true when both characters are not part of a society.

- Added society icon backgrounds (society_symbol_bg_stone.dds and society_symbol_bg_wood.dds) to gfx/inventory/societies to make it easier for modders to make their own societies that follow the style of the vanilla societies

- Added a better secret religion system, now based around a code attribute rather than traits. Characters can have up to one secret religion. If the character ends up as their secret religion, their secret religion is cleared. This can be set and accessed via script:

- Added triggers "secret_religion", "true_religion", "secret_religion_group", and "true_religion_group". True religion being defined as your secret religion if you have one, otherwise your public religion

- The religion triggers (religion, secret_religion, true_religion, and the group versions) can now optionally take a "target_type" determining which religion of the target they check against. E.G., religion = { target = ROOT target_type = secret } will check if the scoped character's public religion is the same as ROOT's private religion. The valid types are "public", "secret", and "true". The default is to use the same as the type being checked; religion default to public, secret_religion to secret, true_religion to true. A religion (group) name as the right-hand-side works for all the triggers

- Effect set_secret_religion takes a religion or a scope. It optionally takes a target type (true/secret/public), but defaults to secret

- Added trigger has_secret_religion which takes "yes" or "no"

- Added set_secret_religion and clear_secret_religion effects

- The "religion" and "set_secret_religion" effects optionally take a religion type (true/secret/public) to determine which to use when a scope is referenced. "religion" defaults to public, while "set_secret_religion" defaults to "secret"

- Added "secret_religion" console command that sets a character's secret religion. Defaults to the player's character

- Who can see a character's secret religion is defined in 00_religions.txt

- Added a can_see_secret_religion trigger. Takes a scope, and checks if the character scope you're currently in can see the target character's secret religion

- Societies can now have an associated religion, which is accessible from script in the same way as character or province religion, including on the right-hand-side of triggers and effects. This is scripted with for example "associated_religion = catholic". It has no effect beyond being accessible via script

- Added a convert_to_secret_religion effect. Takes "yes" or a character scope. Sets your public religion to your secret religion, or the target character's secret religion if a scope is used

- Added a on_character_convert_secret_religion on_action

- Added SecretReligion and TrueReligion localisation promotions so that [This.SecretReligion.GetName] and similar work

- Added a dynamic secret religious society system that significantly reduces the work involved in making a religious cult society

- All religions except those specifically excluded get a secret religious society generated. The attributes of this society is defined by a template in 00_societies.txt

- Most the sections in society definitions now provide the society itself as a scope (FROM)

- Societies can now have an associated religion (defined with associated_religion = religiontag). This means that scopes can now be used where religons could be used, such as the right-hand-side of the "religion" trigger or effect. It also means that the "religion" trigger and similar can be used within a society scope

- Added a secret_religious_cult scope, which will scope to the cult associated with the character's secret religion. Also works in religion and province scopes. This can also be used on the right-hand-side of effects and triggers

- is_rank_full can now take a society scope rather than just a society name

- Added a "secret_religion" history effect

- Added on_society_created and on_society_destroyed on_actions

- Fixed scoping to saved society and artifact event targets not working

- Added religion_scope, secret_religion_scope, true_religion_scope, and culture_scope as scopes. These scope to the religion/culture of the character/province/society (only religion for societies) currently scoped to. Can be saved as event targets

- Added a save_conversion folder in "common" which handles convering obsolete objects in saves. Currently handles religions and societies

- Added a clear_flags_with_prefix effect. Works in character, province, title, and artifact scopes

- Fixed the society rank tooltip not having FROM defined. FROM is now the society grand master, as with other society tooltips

###################
# Interface
###################
- The interface for transferring subunits between two units no longer uses drag-and-drop, but instead uses buttons once more
- Fixed a number of relation types (E.G., "lover") not being localised based on gender in the languages that need that (E.G., French)
- Fixed terrain modifiers showing up as blank modifiers (for example, in the supply tooltip)
- Executing an unrelated interaction will no longer cause council consideration to reset
- Fixed the modifier for the 3rd Satanist rank not being capitalized correctly
- Artifacts will now be equipped by default upon obtaining them, assuming the holder is able to equip it
- Fixed the cultural buildings showing up as "nobuilding" in the tech view
- Fixed the portraits for wars in the lower-right corner not always updating when something changes them (E.G., imprisonment or coming of age). They should now always update within one day
- Fixed the pause option for message settings always being disabled in the pop-up, even when actually set to enabled
- Fixed the pause option for combat results using the "other characters" setting rather than the "close family members" setting when set to pop up
- Societies can now be looked at when observing the game
- 3D objects for castles, cities and churches now have levels, as they were meant to.
- The level is computed by using the number of buildings in the main settlement of the province
- They are controlled by values in defines.lua: CITY_MAIN_BUILDING_LEVEL_2 and CITY_MAIN_BUILDING_LEVEL_3

###################
# User modding
###################

- Fixed the game failing to find government unique title names at times. Now it'll never return the default name if a non-default one is defined. It now also tries without the tier string before it tries without the government string, so if you were to define "city_title" and "king_title", the former will be used
- "add_law" can now take parameters: "cooldown" and "opinion_effect". "cooldown" simply works as a way to specify that there's no cooldown, like add_law_w_cooldown does. "opinion_effect" can be used to specify that the opinion effect of passing the law shouldn't be applied. E.G., the anger/happiness at succession law changes, or at tribal organization changes. Existing script still works as before. Example of new syntax:
add_law = {
law = true_cognatic_succession
cooldown = no
opinion_effect = no
}
- Messed up localisation is now less likely to crash the game
- FROM in on_character_convert_religion and on_character_convert_culture is no longer a temp character, but instead the culture/religion itself. This only provides access to comparing to the culture/religion (or group). It should also still work to set cultures/religions and such. Please report any issues encountered with it. This change also means that it should now be possible to reference the previous characters outside "immediate" and similar without the game crashing
- same_society_as trigger will no longer be true when both characters are not part of a society.
- Added the command line argument -scriptlog to enable log triggers and effects without enabling script asserts.
- Added artifact backgrounds (arti_bg.dds, arti_bg_glow.dds, arti_bg_small.dds, and arti_bg_glow_small.dds) to gfx/inventory/artifacts to make it easier for modders to make their own artifacts that follow the style of the vanilla artifacts
- Added society icon backgrounds (society_symbol_bg_stone.dds and society_symbol_bg_wood.dds) to gfx/inventory/societies to make it easier for modders to make their own societies that follow the style of the vanilla societies

E.G., religion = { target = ROOT target_type = secret } will check if the scoped character's public religion is the same as ROOT's private religion. The valid types are "public", "secret", and "true". The default is to use the same as the type being checked; religion default to public, secret_religion to secret, true_religion to true. A religion (group) name as the right-hand-side works for all the triggers
- Effect set_secret_religion takes a religion or a scope. It optionally takes a target type (true/secret/public), but defaults to secret
- Added trigger has_secret_religion which takes "yes" or "no"
- Added set_secret_religion and clear_secret_religion effects
- The "religion" and "set_secret_religion" effects optionally take a religion type (true/secret/public) to determine which to use when a scope is referenced. "religion" defaults to public, while "set_secret_religion" defaults to "secret"
- Added "secret_religion" console command that sets a character's secret religion. Defaults to the player's character

This is scripted with for example "associated_religion = catholic". It has no effect beyond being accessible via script

- Fixed troops spawned to unlanded characters not getting any tech bonus. They now get the tech from the province they spawned in. If a "home" province is defined, they'll use that province's tech instead
- Added "fallback_text" for custom loc. If none of the triggered texts return true, this will be used instead if defined. The fallback text cannot have a trigger, and only one can exist
