Do not work with "Inherit Bloodlines" :)

@Darth_Alaks: Unfortunately, you are wrong. This mod works exactly as advertised above and it has been so for years now. HW for kings won't be available if said king is BOTH content and craven.

Unfortunately, the mod doesn't work. Byzantine viceroyalty kings with the traits cynical, cowardly, content - still declare holy wars for the duchies. Maybe because their kingdoms are not de jure part of Byzantium... Maybe only independence should be left in the requirements for a holy war?

@Roger: That's what I was pissed about myself. This mod makes vassals use much more reasonable CBs, although if they meet requirements thay will HW as in vanilla...

Playing as jewish spent 200 years building up to multiple kingdoms and converting one province back to proper jewish.
Only for some ♥♥♥♥ head vassals to tank MA losing stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ holywars.
Will try this out but I might just block all holy wars except wars declared by the religious head.

Independent rulers can do whatever they like. "Featuring" part of the description above gives you all the details on that part. There is no "weighting" in CBs - if there was it would be much easier to balance HWs without adding requirements. Unless you are using some other mod that changes CBs and messes things up.

Hi again, but this time I'm in topic with the mod

So I've wanted to test your mod since I've noticed in one of my playthroughs that there were really few holy wars (if not zero). I've done so by starting a new game in 936 because after some months Bulgaria Empire will always declare holy war on the Pechenegs (unless they're attacked by the Byz, just restart the run in that case). But, when the mod is on, he doesn't declare holy war but rather the "liberate duchy" one (I've switched on and off a couple times and always goes this way).

So is this intended that AI gives priority to others CB even if they can HolyWar?
The emperor of Bulgaria is "content" but as I've understood independent rulers can be whatever right? Also he isn't both "content" and "brave" so it isn't checking the "king" requirements either.

@BtH: I'm glad you worked it out... :)

I think you're not interested but I want to share it ahahah: I've found the reason why modifying "has_coa_on_barony_only = no" wasn't working. The problem was exactly that I was using Patrum Scuta xDDD I should've thought about it before, it was quite obvious that a mod on CoA would have conflicted about these kind of changes

I already have Patrum Scuta :D And the generated CoA doesn't happen only non existing county CoA but on evryone. Let's say you have paris and you convert to hinduism, now Paris CoA is a buinch of pisces and elephants

I have the dlc too ahahah I've bough the imperial collection of CK2 on instant gaming at 25€ .

Thanks anyway for you help ^^

@BtH: As far as I know CoA are randomly generated in every instance that requires it - that is to say a county has no historical ingame CoA. It is how the game works. I have no experience in this matter so I can't help you. However you may wanna try a mod like for e.g. "Patrum Scuta" or get a "Ruler Designer" DLC for 5 bucks. If you would like to hear my opinion I would try the mod or just let it be as it is, because 5USD for such f****** piece of s*** dlc-like product is not worth it at all... :)

@DonJulan

As I said, I can't stand the random generated county CoA, which happens if your char is muslim or indian (as well if he converts). I've searched on the web and players suggested to modify : "has_coa_on_barony_only = no" (in 00_religions.txt) to "yes". But I've done it and nothing happens 🗿

Do you have some ideas? If you don't obviously no problem. Thanks anyway

@BoT: Feel free to post your question here, however bear in mind that my knowledge on the matter is most likely quite limited.

@DonJulan ok, now I better understand your reason behind it. And maybe you convinced me, because I didn't think of it as a "real law" that the liege imposes and it totally makes sense from this point of view, but isn't there a realm law (in game) that literally makes this? (Vassal wars illegal).
Sure, it's true that it's quite an advanced law and empire only and indeed the game has a problem with holy wars since I only see them around :/


Anyway, since you're such a nice guy, I'd like you to ask a little help with a little modification I wanted to do to the vanilla game (about CoA being randomly generated as muslim and indian), but feel free to ignore this with no remorse if you don't feel it
In case it's ok for you, you can write me in private so that I don't overflow your mod comment section with not related topics :)

@BtH: I disagree. Such vassal has an overlord who wouldn't want him to become stronger by acquiring more lands thus probably forbiding it and waging holy wars by himself - not only gaining more land and growing stronger but also gaining worth in the eyes of his religious head. Thus a vassal would have to be ambitious to oppose his overlord. We could argue if he could/should be deceitful or brave on top of that but not less...

No actually it wasn't for myself ahahah I just thought that being zelaous was enough for a vassal to wage war on some infedels ahaahah

@BtH: Firstly - I don't plan on updating this mod as long as its working fine. Secondly - If it updates it won't break your save. It is always possible to modify cassus belli files as the game checks every day if the requirements are met for a war and if not - war ends inconclusively. To sum up - don't worry. On the other hand - if you are the lower vassal - don't make the game easier for yourself: become ambitious and zealous and holy war whoever you want. ;)

Thanks :) Well if I unsubscribe from the mod it doesn't automatically update right? Or, even if it updates (because I don't want to continously sub and unsub) will it broke my save if it reverts back? And will I be able to modify it directly again mid-game?

@BtH: If you are talking about non-pagan holy war then you need to add # at the beginning of the following lines of code (preferably open "00_cb_types.txt" file in notepad++): 5814, 5854 and 6028. Bear in mind that if I update this mod you will have to do it again.

how hard would it be for me to slightly modify it so that the lesser vassals need only the "zealous" trait? :)

@Jez: Sadly this mod is not compatible with HIP or any other mod that alters casus belli. I can't fix the issue you mentioned without making life complicated for every other non-HIP player. You may safely remove it without breaking your save.

This mod seem to disable imperial reconquest and holy wars cb for the Byzantine emperor in HIP, is that intended?

Problems with Steam Workshop/CK2 solved. Mod updated - enjoy! :)
Now reformed pagan vassals follow the same rules as every other organized religion.
Piety cost increased for decalaring holy war for reformed pagans (from 100 to 200). Piety amount requirement for hw cb (400) for every organized religion (increased for pagans from 200 and every other religion from 0).

@老近卫军掷弹兵 enjoy :)

thanks

@Xlicer: Thx, I was myself quite frustrated with crazy vassals holy warring everyone and losing most of the times. I can confirm it works perfectly fine with HIP. I haven't checked any other mods you mentioned but it's quite easy to check if it works as it will either work or not work at all. ;)
I changed compatibilities description as it was outdated. If you use any other conversion mod apart from HIP I would be grateful if you tried this mod and confirmed if it's compatible with any of them. :)

Nice, I been looking for a while for a mod that balances the holy war cs. How well it works with other mods (total conversions types ala After the End, Elder Kings, GoT)?

Update: validation of ongoing HW now checks only for (one has to return true): independence, king tier (regardless of traits), existance of one of the required traits (ambitious or zealous).This means that no longer holy war will be cancelled after losing only one of two trigger traits (ambitious/zealous) for anyone or acquiring second one of two non-trigger traits (content/craven) for kings. Enjoy!

Update: Holy War CB allowed or disallowed for vassals depending on their traits (check description).

Update: Holy War CB allowed for vassalized kings.
