I just explained what the problem is; it's other mods interfering with this one. to fix it, you have to identify which of your other installed mods is modifying defines.lua and overwriting this mod's changes. then either delete that mod or edit it directly so that it doesn't s*** on compatibility.

huh, well I remember it working before but for some reason it just, doesnt anymore. But that might be the problem, do you know how to fix it? I love this mod lolol

all this mod does is change a couple of variables in the "defines" folder. if it's not working as expected, it's because you have another mod that also changes the same ones. also equally plausible that you're using another mod where the author just copypasted the entire vanilla defines.lua file to change a couple variables instead of making a custom file with the select few they needed, which would also then overwrite this mod's changes by forcing it to the default value.

I dont know man, do you know any bugs for it?

hey, uh yes it does?

hey, uh apparently it doesnt work?

couldnt this be implemented in like a law way so it could be switched

Datz good newz - cheers! \m/\m/

well I just tested it myself anyway, yes it still works, as expected.

hm nah
a mod like this is very unlikely to cause save game corruption, at worst it would simply not work, and you can check it's effectiveness yourself by just going into a game a merchant replublic and seeing if, on average, most of the respect comes from prestige or age factor

Lol...Eeer...Can you check it and tell us then, plz? I play with 40+++ mods so I wouldn't want to start a new campaign only to find at, say, 300+ years in the game that this mod is glitchy, and is the reason for fekin-up ma game! Cause then, [with L. Neeson's voice] I'd track you, hunt you down, and go Medieval on your ass! :-O xD

idk lol

Is this working for 3.0 m8?

no? yikes. I'll look into it.

This doesn't seem to work anymore

Ooooh. Consider me very hopeful you can get the events for stuff like debates and the like in there. That'd be wonderful.

it doesn't need to be updated

Hello there m8! is this mod updated to the latest game-version and latest DLC?

Yes, this mod changes global variables and thus affects every Merchant Republic Election in the game, regardless of whether you're a participant of it or not

Does this work on the AI because playing as Italy with Genoa, Venice and Pisa under your thumb consistenly gives the stupid election updates from all the old men dying.

Like I stated in my earlier comment, this mod should be compatible with just about anything. If another mod happens to overwrite the same variables (which would only happen if it sets out to accomplish a similar function to this mod anyway) then the only thing that'll really happen is one of the two mods won't appy to the variables in question

This mod does nothing. If a patrician has more prestige than he should, you assasinate him until yourt high admiral designated heir commander and steward son farm his prestige.

@Fumblerful it workes but I don't know if it is compatible

Is this compatable with ck2+?

Nepotism for the win!

I already give my dynasty members prestige by abusing the republic offices with rampant nepotism. I award honorary titles according to future heirs, choose the best dynasty members for all the positions in my council (when possible), and make sure that my most promising heir is my regent and declared heir. Even at (prestige x 2) it's totally worth it. I try to avoid giving rival patricians any possitions that raise prestige, and if I can make one of them my spy master and get him imprisoned by the Byzantines that's great too.

@Bantak Kor

No, only the shitty ones with no checks in place to prevent nepotism.

A: Good idea for a mod, should feel much better for a player.

B: Aren't all capitalist societies in reality just ruled by nepotism, therefore the vanilla is quite accurate. ;)

Does this work with the AGOT mechant republics? I would think It would, but I would like be sure just in case my game crashes

Huge thumbs up.
Thanks for attention ^^

Yes, should be compatible with most mods as far as I know. This mod just changes a few variables in the defines.lua file and such mods are by nature designed to be as compatible as possible. Worst case scenario, some other mod overwrites the same variables that this mod does or vice versa, in which case only one of the two mods would function, but I don't think you'd have to worry about any CTDs or freezes or save corruptions or anything like that.

Thanks for sharing

What about compatibilities? Should be compatible with everything that doesn't mods elections, right? HIP-compatible?

Thanks for your work.

Godbless you sir, you've made maybe the only mod i've ever truly wanted. I'd make you a baron but effort. But please accept my thanks.

aww last time I played as a merchant republic I conquered the world as the most wealthy and corrupt man in the world. now its not possible anymore ...

So, the merchant republics aren't completely corrupt now? Aww...

I agree, great mod, makes me want to start a new merchant republic campaign again :D

I'd recommend adding the events and other features into a second mod, or to be switchable at the beginnig of each game. I like the simplicity of the current mod a big plus :)

Thank you this mod is amazing.
