HOW TO UPDATE THE MOD:

On the launcher in this mods section select the three dots below "enabled" and click "Show in folder"

Open common > modifiers > zzz_basic_modifiers

Now open the game main folder, go to game\common\modifiers and open 00_basic_modifiers.txt

Now copy the baron, count, duke and emperor modifiers from the game folder's file onto the mod folder's file and just add "diplomatic_range_mult = 0.5" at the end of the duke modifiers, "diplomatic_range_mult = 0.75" at the end of king modifiers and "diplomatic_range_mult = 1.0" at the end of emperor modifiers (without the quotation marks of course.)

Hmm, if this mod really is just a few lines of code, then if somebody could make something similar that also limits the diplomatic range of courtiers, then that would fix the lag issue you get in the AGOT mod when you're in the iron throne (because every courtier on the map can scheme everybody else within the seven kingdoms regardless of distance). I'd do it, if I knew how to mod.

Please update :)

@blazeknave it's because it's directly overwriting the base game's "emperor_modifier", so the author has to put all the stuff that is already there; if they just put emperor_modifier = { diplomatic_range_mult = 1.0 }, then an emperor would get no domain, vassal, accolades, etc.

Unfortunately, takuro is right this mod needs an update for tax slots :(

update? it's need tax_slot_add

I love this idea, but I don't get why it's defining all these?

emperor_modifier = {
domain_limit = 4
knight_limit = 8
vassal_limit = 60
ai_amenity_target_baseline = 0.3
active_accolades = 2

mercenary_hire_cost_mult = 0.6

diplomatic_range_mult = 1.0
}

can you make a version where you can interact with your head of faith and people below your top liege regardless of diplomatic range?

For those wondering, this mod is like 7 lines of code, all of which still should work as of 1.8

Thanks for the cool mod bro

one of those mods you never realize you need, but once you see it you can't play without it

This may have been asked before, But does this apply between the AI? or is it just between the player and AI?

Vikings in iceland have Dukes but can't attack other islands, even I did invest in the Wonderlust dynasty perk

Did today's update include tweaks to range by any chance? I was unable to attack Iceland as the island right next to it haha! Also, another question sorry lol.. but, is it possible to make the AI follow these rules as well? I was shocked to not see a mod restricting AI from schemes etc.

Fog of war would be dope of course. But I guess that's an entirely different horse.

Great mod idea. I always wished for that when reducing the range option. The Update makes it even better to begin with.

I have an idea. Fog of war like Rome total war for all areas outside diplomatic range.

Fun idea

Also, pre CK3 early start date was lots of Vking invaders of smaller kingdoms, or Jarldoms, but historically from CK3 timeline and onwards the Danes and Norwegians made their kingdoms became stronger as England and Scotland also started uniting. The Danes went on to make a north sea Empire, but point I am making is that it was a Danish King, not a duke, so a King would have the reach... making the King title a bigger reason to invest in for Vikings.

If Norway and Denmark go to England & Scotland then its historical. The Swedes more to the east didnt, well there were Swedes who did but inder Danish or Norwegian organisation. The Swedes tended to go into modern day Russia more, along the rivers.
So thats just awesome :)

Nice update

Updated the base Diplomatic Range values to allow for an easier possible invasion of England by adventuring Vikings. Note that this is still only possible for 1 or 2 Scandinavian rulers. However, it is easily achievable by many of the Western vikings if they invest in the Wonderlust dynasty perk (only 250 renown if you buy it first). I believe this is a fair trade-off. After-all, the Adventure dynasty line is all about seeking out new lands. If you truly seek an adventure in the form of an English invasion, invest in the perk. The average Viking did not seek much more than to raid England (raiding is not affected by diplo range) so I do not feel it is appropriate to have the average viking reach England in leau of how large the diplomatic range would have to be to achieve this.

Hmm ok, well thats good actually. I dont see why a count in Norway should have regular contact with a count in England, but the counts may contact the kings, but if the King will care is not exactly assured. Unless you have a claim, and need foreign help... for a cost.

@[Army of Two] AXIS Vikings still can raid beyond their diplo range, so they are still able to reach Spain and North Africa in that way, but for regular interaction, that was a sacrifice I had to make. Unfortunately, diplo range does not work only one way. If a King can reach you, you can reach the king regardless of if you cant interact with the counts and dukes that may exist between you too. So if I make the Vikings have a larger diplo range, then everyone they can reach also can reach them. However, I will look into the range needed to reach England by Vikings and considering changing the diplo range values.

Great thanks of the answer!

But if what Mog says about the vikings is correct, that is a drawback. The vikings should reach distant shores, as they travelled and traded/raided all the way down to Spain, Portugal and North Africa, and sometimes even inside the mediterranean. (Also rivers in the east)

@Irisiane It is certainly possible. However I wanted to avoid changing things like innovations over compatibility concerns. I prioritize compatibility above all else for the moment. However there are existing ways to extend diplo range in game such as the Wunderlust dynasty perk.

Would it be possible to give a boost through tech innovations for example longships boosting range to allow oversea raiding/conquest?

@Mog Yes, sea regions I believe are given different values than land. So diplo range across bodies of water can be deceiving.

Interesting, I just edited the files and put up the modifier the same as a Kingdoms one, I still cant get to England.. is sea regions counted different?

Hi, great mod and idea... One problem I saw with the mod as I was trying it out. Varangian Conquest on the British Isles no longer possible because of Dukes being 400 range, tried from Denmark and Norway. Upping the Dukes range most likely would fix this. :)

Interesting idea. I always felt unnatural about the fixed scope of diplomacy.
My small suggestion is that it would be even more interesting if there were a decision to debuff Prestige or Gold monthly profits or to expand the scope of diplomacy by having a ruler with a certain level of diplomatic power.

@[Army of Two] AXIS Yes, from my tests this mod should work even on existing saves. Just be warned some of your more distant alliances might be unusable now as alliance partners must be in diplo range to be called in to conflicts.

save game compatible if already rinning on restricted range?

@Amergin Default diplomatic range is set at 1000, the restricted vanilla diplomatic range is 750

Awesome idea

What is the original diplomatic range in vanilla?

Must have!
