i really hope you can find a way to fix this mod, it looks amazing but i never got the chance to play it because i only got ck3 start of this year.

what Kelmoru said decision mods don't seem to be working anymore.

love this mod hope you make more characters in the future!

Miss Yaseen.

@holo Hey sorry yeah will need to look into what broke

I hope it isn't too difficult to update this mod. I'm gonna miss it til then. The decision to recruit Yaseen doesn't seem to work anymore. Along with other mods that added a decision, seems like Landless gameplay maybe messed it up?

Thanks @the gentleman, glad you enjoyed

i got to say I am in love with this mod. My latest campaign, Yaseen became a loyal soldier, best friend, and acolyte. My family conquered Spain and form an Empire, Yaseem's dynasty took over the African coast. Both sides became the most powerfull dynasties in the mediterranean great character.

@mcaidenvl Currently writing a litrpg series on royal road these days if you're into that. It ties into Yaseen's lore eventually. But I still had future immersive companion mods drawn out, as soon as I have time...

A mod like this that would randomly turn courtiers into companions with randomly picked story lines and decisions could be amazing. Do you plan on any companion mods like this in the future? Really enjoying this one so far, great work.

I wish we had more mods like this!

@hamletsdead hey! sorry no that's not intended. I'll have to check the flags and see if that can be avoided

@Seljuk Shah, is the Yaseem sequence supposed to start over when my player character dies and his heir inherits? Because that just happened, even though Yaseem at that point was already a full-fledged member of the court, married, and spying for my (now dead) Emperor.

Really nice addition to my latest playthru, thanks. Funny for the emperor to have one loser friend, like Falstaff with Prince Harry. Was bummed when he got killed in an extended war.

I've paired Yaseen up with fecund and beautiful women and they never have kids. I wonder if its a conflicting mod, or perhaps load order?

he should definitely have fertility bonuses, is there anything in particular that gets in the way?

Can Yaseen have kids? I can never get him to have an heir to continue his legacy.

@josh thanks brother

its alright, i just started another game. by the way, not to glaze but youre a pioneer for this mod!! if only Paradox themselves had the same vision. keep it up

@joshuay sorry to hear, are you able to load an earlier save and prevent it? Unfortunately the story cuts if he leaves court.

Yaseen left my court, wandering, and now when i invited him back im no longer receiving events. How do i fix this? :(

You are a god, i hope you know that. bless up

@♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thanks for the kind words. I've outlined other characters but it's been a busy few months. I'm currently writing historical fiction over at royal road (https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/76837/bookworm-gladiator) , so hopefully after that I'll get back on the ck3 horse.

Although I'm happy to share my mod template with other companion enthusiasts who want to take a crack at their own companion mod!

@Seljuk Shah absolutely fantastic, this song will fuel my next bench PRs.

Regarding your mod: I hope you realize you may well have just pioneered the first ever narrative NPC story arc mod for CK3. There are total conversion mods that do this to some extent, but this is new.

I know these were around in CK2, and the idea itself is not a new one, but I think yours is the only one on the workshop right now that fits (mostly) into the world of the vanilla game. Yeah sure there are fantastical elements, but they aren't too extreme that they take you out of the medieval setting. I would love you to do more of these and see how far you can take it. Maybe you could write more characters that unlock at certain dates; perhaps your next mod is for a female character who unlocks in the 1070s after the Battle of Manzikert, an Armenian woman who can either recover from her trauma or embrace her hatred and rage at the humilation of her people. You can take this concept very far.

@frog not location specific, but you would probably have to adjust Yaseen's birth date in the character files to match the AGOT bookmarks

Are the events location-specific? I'm wondering if I could run this mod with CK3 AGOT.

@seljuk Shah oh shoot I understand, thank you so much for the quick reply.

@twerk Yaseen is probably dead in your game. This mod is recommended for new games since he is alive for the first 70 or so years.

I can't seem get the decision at all, does it need to be in 867 and a new game? (currently mid game in 1066)

@sunflower hmm that's odd. it shouldn't happen unless you accidentally made him your equal and he left your court?

@♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ glad you enjoyed, it's from Hamdi Aslan! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLIT1Opq8wc)

[Compliments later] What is the song you play at the scene when Yaseen goes out for the duel with the man whose wife he screwed around with inside the kitchen? I found the audio file and shazam'd it but I couldn't get the exact version you used in the mod. It absolutely SLAPS and I'd love to have it for workouts and casual listening, PLEASE give the song ID, I can't get it out of my head! Thank you!

SICK mod btw

Dude this is such a cool idea I'm surprised I haven't seen something like it before--can't wait to try it out!

not sure if this was intentional or not but i found when landing Yaseen the events every year no longer happen so gotta make sure you dont land him otherwise events wont show up anymore

Is it possible to trigger Help Yaseen event on modded bookmark dates?

Oh okay, I remembered the event but it was just the timing that made me worried and I haven't heard from him in a while. I really liked this mod and it adds a whole new personal depth to my character and in the game in general. Please keep making these types of mods and I implore you to make them more frequent if deemed right!

@Wilhelm He's reacting to you finding him in a sorry state a month before. You mightve overlooked that event

Yaseen sent me a letter in which he became melancholic and the reply was "It is what it is". I don't know if its a randomized event or its something that I've done. All I did earlier was that I made him landed.

Yes, 867 and 1066

Question, is he only available at the vanilla bookmark dates?

Gotcha, I thought he would be created when I press the button, not that he is already on the map to start.

Fyi, Yaseen is 20 years old at game start and will get older/die eventually

@ChristopherMino, its possible Yaseen died as well. Unless you click "Help him", the decision should stay as long as he lives.

Tip: You can check his age and location anytime by searching realm (he's usually located in the levant)

Do you only get one character chance to recruit him? I assumed the option to recruit him stays open until I press the button, but after my first character died, Yaseen was no longer an option to recruit. Which is ok, but is that intended?

Heyyyy... Could he be used with EK2? would love to have him in tamriel!

won't download until there is another version with his brother Bingus

Oh hey thats my name

very cool idea!

Excellent idea. Even a generic character like, the warrior, or physician could make interesting concepts where you can them generate random aspects like name culture appearance.

cute
