@fhqwhgads thx

@keongpok I don't really know. I didn't design it with compatibility with it specifically in mind, as tethering my mod to another was not an attractive prospect, but it's possible since I no longer overwrite religious tenets. I can't really guarantee it.

Is this compatible with carnalitas mode and its lower modes?

@IvyLeather Thank you! While this isn't nearly as big as some of the total conversion mods for the game I have tried to do what I can.

@Gavador At the moment, I don't have any plans for an oriental religion. I have a vague idea for a tenet or some sort of new religious practice for the Eastern part of the map, but I don't know if it'd work the way I want it to. One of the big hurdles I have right now when designing more religious stuff is that coding anything that interacts with adultery is... difficult. I'm also not super familiar with the cultural and religious practices of the era in the Eastern parts of the map, so I don't have anything strong to hook onto like the Amazons from Greece. I'm playing it by ear at the moment, and mostly concentrating on how I can make certain that the matriarchal dynasty succession practices can still work in all of the new government types.

Someone else might've asked already but do you plan for a oriental religion when the All Under Heaven DLC drops?

A friend sent me this and I'm really impressed at the scale! I've never played CK3 or any grand strategy game but I'm trying it now with your mod and it seems like an awesome time. Thanks for the hard work!

Smaller world map? I don't know anything about that mod so I can't really comment too much on it. It's certainly not designed to work if you take away certain cultures/traditions.

@laskjd4 I released an update that -should- fix that issue, but I didn't have time to test it given how specific that situation is.

The game will crash when the mod is enabled simultaneously with smaller world map.

@laskjd4 That may be an oversight. I'll look at the code and see what I can do, should be fixable.

I can't take the Reforge Scythia decision, it says that my allies control part of the Western Pontic Steppe. I hold the entire region and I am allied to some of my vassals.

Sick. Wish there was a version for AGOT

@All Hail Britannia! The middle part of the Matriarchal dynasty does unlock castration as part of making eunuchs (pretty much just like the Byzantine culture traditions), giving them a bonus when serving certain court positions, so you have something to do with all of those male dynasty members you don't want to marry off. At the moment, I'm not planning to add any other sort of content focused on eunuchs/castration; just spitefully castrating men isn't really something I'm interested in adding (it's not that kind of mod), so the content I have added is in line with Byzantine culture traditions. I could see some sort of ritual castration so the Amazons have suitable servants or something, but for now that's just for the Matriarchal dynasty legacy.

@Lykos Sorry, I don't think I'm being clear enough. You need this tenet in order for the faith to allow polyamory. https://i.imgur.com/4nEaNnL.jpeg

If you are also running one of my other religious mods this is a doctrine instead, but with vanilla game it's a core tenet.

@fhqwhgads I changed to polygamous marriages not concubines

@Lykos I notice you mentioned "concubines" before but "polygamous" and "polyamorous" aren't the same thing, you can have concubines and still have the polyamory tenet. Not sure if something is getting mixed up here.

@fhqwhgads I just tested and even when I reform to be polyamorous she still won't join idk why, she is lustful just brave and diligent are those causing her to not join

@fhqwhgads Thanks for the response its because I haven't reformed Heraionism yet so it is still set to concubines thanks for the help :))

I think it would be worthwhile to add the ability for the Amazons to castrate men

@Lykos The most important requirement is being willing to "cheat" on your partners. If your faith has polyamory it won't be a problem since it doesn't count as cheating in that case, but if someone doesn't follow polyamory then it depends entirely on their personality.

A spouse is a special case; following a polyamorous faith is required to invite a spouse.

What are the requirements for someone to join the Debauch activity? My wife won't appear as a guest which is confusing me since we are both lesbian, and romanced with each other.

I can't do anything about pre-patch saves, that's a vanilla thing entirely out of my hands. But as far as this mod goes, I can say that it's tentatively likely I won't need to update many files.

Oh that's neat. I thought I read they added an annointment religious doctrine or something so I'm guessing compatibility with pre-patch saves are a no go anyways.

At a glance the patch notes look pretty light, but I haven't yet had time to look at actual code changes. At the very least I don't expect it to take too long to update, maybe a day or two (I have limited time in the week, but if changes are minor I can probably get something out before the weekend).

Fair enough. I'll just not update in the meantime then.

@Dlinktp Given the amount of files this mod modifies, this mod will almost certainly break in the patch. Whether it breaks in an unplayable way is basically a coinflip, really. We don't know what all they are changing; if they are only adding in new coronations then nothing would break, but I'm guessing there will be a patch alongside it that changes/fixes game issues as well.

@goldenGirlsJKsM56 I wish I could translate to other languages, but I simply don't have the time or knowledge to do that. Best I can do is make sure the English text displays in other localizations.

@Ignis18 do you run Rice with this mod, and does it run okay?

To OP, should I pause steam updates in wait for tomorrow's dlc or do you think the mod will survive it?

can you path korean language? this mod is so nice.......

Yeah, I ended up making a shorter modlist just with this and it worked. I guess either RICE or something else may have been messing with something it shouldn't 'n_n

To be clear, it'd be at the start of a new game that the event would fire, if you're mid-game it wouldn't trigger until it was a new character claiming a new title.

Must be a problem on my end then 'n_n Maybe the hotfix didn't download right or something else is messing with my events

@Ignis18 I don't know, I was able to trigger it making a custom adventurer. The requirements are "hasn't had the event", female, has the right tradition (Heraionic Survivors or Scythian Legacy), and is landless adventurer. It always triggered for me one day after starting the game.

I think I might end up making you hate me 'n_n but the event is still not firing. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong at the start, if there's a requirement I'm not seeing, or what

I've made an update that should make the event again trigger for those who begin the game with a custom Amazonian character. It should still trigger for those who became adventurers midgame, but due to an oversight it wasn't triggering on game start.

@Ignis18 Sorry, it looks like I may have broken that event when I added the bookmark characters. I have a fix that seems to be working which I may be able to update in a day or two.

@fhqwhgads The Amazonian culture one, yeah, it didn't fire for me, and I was playing that game until 874. Maybe I did something wrong with the game's own starter event? Idk

@Ignis18 Or are you referring to the event that fires if you are of Amazonian culture? That should fire but it may take a couple of days.

@Ignis It doesn't happen right away, it triggers under certain conditions. Holding hunts has a chance to trigger it, as does waging offensive war, or using the "establish dynastic matriarchy" decision (the last one is guaranteed, the first two are only a chance).

@Tiny Having a matriarchy means that you should be allowed to change the gender law as long as you have limited crown/tribal authority; which does require the assemblies technology. I'll see if there's anything I can do to swap succession laws in the case that that happens, it's likely that the vanilla sequence of becoming landed after being landless is overwriting your old laws with new ones.

I don't know if it's a problem on my end or a general bug, but I'm not getting the starting Amazonian Warrior event with a custom female adventurer?

Correction - Gender laws change, and I'm Roman Culture. I think the issue is the culture doesn't have access to Plenary Assemblies

This happened pre-900s. I declared a matriarchy as my first char (Latin Catholic), then got a pressed claim in England via building a settlement. Upon winning the war, my succession laws changed. Hope this helps when you're looking into it!

@Tiny Possibly, but you should be able to swap back if you have at least limited authority. If you have one of the female-only succession law cultures it should change back on its own given a month or so. What you're describing doesn't sound intended and it's something I'll look into, but you should be able to solve it on your own until I'm able to release something.

I've encountered a bug that when I become landed as an adventurer matriarch, it resets the success preference to male. Is this a known issue?

@Rosa And I must thank you for the kind words regarding the mod's content. I will say that my goal is to try and keep the content as tasteful as that in the unmodded game--perhaps I push the line in some areas, such as the debauche, but there are similar events in the unmodded game (in particular, try doing a grand tour with the lechery intent sometime).

The Amazons are an idea that has grown in time over the history of the mod, and yes, I think the comparison to the secret societies in CK2 is an apt one. In the original release of the mod, the only mention of the Amazons was the 4th perk of the Matriarchal dynasty being "Amazon Alliance", which gave two new female men-at-arms regiments. Since then I've made them a much more major part of the mod.

While I don't play CK3 all the time, I have 1200+ hours in it and I intend to keep coming back and playing more and providing more updates with each new release.

@Alex the Great To some degree, yes. The AI doesn't form the Amazon realms themselves, nor do they make lesbian-devoted faiths, but they will make matriarchal dynasties (if the dynasty head is a woman). And if they follow a faith with an emphasis on lesbian marriage, they form those marriages on their own, and if you form an Amazon realm or an Amazon alliance for your dynasty, they will recruit Amazon knights and men-at-arms.

@Rosa It's not exactly emphasized, but there is actually an extra doctrine in the homosexuality category that enables gay marriages for men and gives them piety bonuses for doing so. I haven't done any coding to make the AI form such marriages, it'd be up to the base game AI (which in my experience doesn't do so very often), but there is that much at least.

The AI can do this as well right?

As a lesbian IRL, I'm very impressed with what I've played of this mod so far. Tying matriarchal mechanics to dynasties makes perfect sense: yes, it *is* completely plausible that this one noble family would have a tradition of female rulers and be seen as a bit weird by their peers, but left alone. The Amazons, as a "fantasy" element, don't seem any less plausible than the secret society content from CK2, and appear to be integrated just as well. And the depictions of sapphic love I've come across so far (character-focused, I haven't made my lesbian religion yet lol) are well thought out and tasteful. I don't know if you are a woman too, but you write like you are.

Something I'd like to see is some sort of integration with male homosexuality. Not a full content expansion, which would be out of scope for this mod, but being able to marry a gay guy for appearances and make an "arrangement" where we both pursue our own interests seems like it would naturally fit in.

@天上的A It's simply possible that nobody is willing to attend because you don't know anyone willing to cheat on their partners. Having a religion where polyamory is permitted helps a lot if you're consistently unable to find people to invite.

@RorschachInk If you don't see the decision at all that likely means your culture isn't compatible or your government isn't compatible (you can't "Form Scythia" while nomadic, you have to "Reforge Scythia" which makes you become settled). If you have those traditions, you're a woman, and you're not nomadic, something must have broke; I'd need more information.

@Darviathar If you're nomadic you'd be "the Scythians", if you're "Scythia" then that's a settled nation. At least, that's how the game seems to handle those terms. You can play as "the Scythians" and be nomadic, but becoming "Scythia" will require you to become settled. I'm trying to not rock the boat too much in how the game handles such titles.

Is there any way to play Scythia as nomadic?

Hey again, love your mod. I wanted to try the new nomad stuff. I am confused why I don't get the form Scythia decision. I have a custom culture that has amazonian warriors/ matriarchy decisions. I own most of modern Ukraine/ Zaprozih. Do I need Greater Scythia? Do I need Scythia culture. I though my custom culture would count as amazonion for have those two traditions

Are there any conflicting mods? The Lesbian Cocktail Party event cannot be held because there are 0 guests participating.
