Sadly, it looks like Murden has given up on his CK3 mods

Does it need / will it have 1.12.1 (Legends of the Dead) compatibility update?

Is it save to add/remove on ongoing games?

Murden, in the character_interactions file you left febble and frail for BladeMaster levels 2 and 3, but fixed it for level 1. I haven't seen a Legendary Blademaster since the new system went in place. I barely see any characters with any experience in Blademaster at all. I don't think you can get experience from regular wars, only Tournaments or dueling.

Is there a possible way for this mod to have an automation for everyone within your court that have just turned 16 be taught to Become a Blademaster. Like for example a culture warrior background enables this trope to begin, it would be awesome to not click become a blademaster everytime. But of course this is just a suggestion after all

@Murden They're still about, just of the wrong faith or culture for me to attract to court. Lot of Norse Asatru blademasters in 867. My work around up North is forced conversion/recruitment from prison, but that's untenable in the South since the Norse aren't very active in the Mediterranean in my games.

@Deagroth Interesting work-around. I've been avoiding tourneys until Paradox fixes the audio bug. Nothing like having the game play the same five seconds of sound on non-stop repeat to cure any interest in an activity. It's a confirmed bug on their forum, but only impacts some players it seems. I'm one of the lucky... :/

It might, but in a Grand Tournament I hosted with the only contest being a melee as an unreformed Asatru/Norse I got lucky and a maxed out blademaster popped up that I could recruit.

Looked through the tournament_events file and it's from tournament_events.7000. It'll create a character of the non-dominate gender that is disguised in armor and trying to participate. It'll only happen for the player, but I'm not sure if you necessarily need to be the host. It is more likely if your intent is to recruit knights though. This "Mulan" character is guarantted to be a level 3 / legendary blademaster.

I'm thinking that hosting grand tournaments with duels and the intent to recruit knights might be a good way to try and find legendary blademasters.

I changed the mod to use the new exp system, but you're right in the sense that the new exp system probably makes legendary blademasters more rare.

I'm wondering if part of the problems with this is that the Blademaster traits were changed to use the new trait exp system rather than just being three traits.

Can we get a "recruit blademaster" decision similar to the vanilla recruit terrain specialist option? In 867 start, often cannot find a legendary blademaster to attract to my court via courtier marriage due to faith or culture differences. Just not enough Catholics good with the blade I guess.

I typically aim to play as a marshal. So brave is a popular choice for me. Currently playing an arrogant, ambitious and callous character. With beautiful, strong and shrewd as well. I have the prompt temporarily but once a blademaster arrives to train me the prompt is gone. But it remains for other characters.

so the problem only happens with yourself? is it possible you have any trait that might keep you from becoming a blademaster? like weak or craven?

I never had problem having the interaction before. I can still train my courtiers but not myself.

there is an acclaimed knight position that does this automatically now. its called blademaster and requires a knight with legendary blademaster

Im no longer getting the option to train with my blademaster. I've moved the mod in load order. I've changed blademasters, made them my martial while having my marshal set to train knights. Even made them my guardian and nothing.

Would it be possible to make this compatible with Ketaro's Advance Court Positions by putting the Blademaster position into one of the categories created in that mod?

hi @AshDragon, that's a good question. It would make sense to, but I only translated the mod to 1.9. I didn't take into account the new gameplay and balance possibilities. So the short answer is no, it doesn't take into account he current level. At some point, I will pick this up again and make those changes, but I can't really promise when.

very usefull mod! thanks! Does it take into account the experience already gathered in the skill? I find many knights with 60-70+ blademaster (only 30 left to max). And take reduced amount of time to make the skill legendary?

nvm i was able to do it when i switched to my liege and hired a legendary blademaster

does your character have a trait that might prevent him or her from training?

the option doesn't appear for my character but it does for my courtiers

Yep, it's working now. For those who it wasn't abundantly clear, you can train your current character by right clicking their portrait and selecting the option.

The problem should be fixed now :)

Hi, I will have this fixed this morning.

Can confirm... not able to obtain training despite appointing lvl 2 blademaster to court position (lvl 3 has been removed in Tours and Tournaments). Was hoping this fixed the missing experience tract for blademaster. Might edit your Mod description to indicate this doesn't work with the T&T expansion.

Hello! I can't develop anyone's blademaster skills even after adding a blademaster with the legendary blademaster trait to my court

it's updated now

Does this mod need an update?

Does it work with 1.9 ?

You can appoint anyone to blademaster in my tribal start

thanks Stranik, those are very good tips! I will improve the code next time I update :)

@CaliBlueBear, mod work fine in 1.8.1


@Murden, Good mod, thanks. Fixes the void left by the developers for the Blademaster skill. Of course, I would like duels in the game to teach this skill, but even so.
Some notes: change "on_send" to "on_accept" - this is how a normal window will be shown when you select it, instead of some kind of stub.

Also, you should check "is_dynast" - it is not quite logical in mod. It's strange, to teach a skill, we need to be the head of a DYNASTY when we hire teachers being a King or an Emperor. One is unrelated to the other.
Below in the code you have a check to be the head of the House. This is more logical.

And I changed the values of additional health for myself from 0.75 to 0.25 (your value is too high), the cost of training by 150/300/500 gold and the training time is 5-10-15 years. So this mod looks very organic in the game. But these are just personal preferences, more immersion and there is no sense of mod imbalance.

Update for 1.8.x? Plz :)

Interesting... I will have a look

Yup, it's exactly as Murio l'ermite below me said. I can only train once I became Dynasty Head.

I can make my courtiers train but there is no option for my character to train.

There seems to be a issue where only the dynasty head can start their own blademaster training.
I have this when I start with one of Ragnar's sons in 867 (not the usual dynasty head, such as Bjorn or Sigurd) and cannot train myself

Awesome! Thanks, Infinity.

Hey, I have updated the Chinese localization, thx!

so @Azure, now you have a way to find out the time training will complete.

this is awesome! thank you so much Blas. I will add them.

Hello, I realized that you updated some new lines in your mod so I left the Spanish translations in the Spanish translation discussions section
I hope I can add them
thanks for your mod

never mind the mod itself is already good enough

Hi Azure, I don't really know how to mod the user interface, sorry :\

Is there a way that I can know the progress of my training?like the time left?THX anyway for your great mod.

you're very welcome, my friend :)

@Murden love all your mods - thx for updating them!

Yeah, I was testing my mods out loading them one by one and booting up the game to just the start menu, and checking out the error logs and these errors came from this mod. I've not played enough with this installed to see if pop up errors are showing in game.

hey Banks, thanks for letting me know about this. Do those errors appear as a popup or in the logs? They look like localization errors. Do you know what that means? It's mostly safe to ignore, they will not break your game. At most it will cause some cosmetic issue while showing text during an event. I will troubleshoot it on my side to see if I can reproduce and fix them. Thanks for spotting and letting me know about those issues! The information you included is immensely helpful.

There's more but I can only fit so much in a comment.
