🏛️ ERCF Update 0.6.2 - "Autocrator"

Update 0.6.2 is here!

This update focuses on internal power dynamics with the new Autocrator trait system and significantly fleshes out the Western Roman Empire content.

👑 New Feature: The Autocrator Trait

A new dynamic trait track representing your grip on absolute power. UNLIMITED POWER!

Acquisition: Granted automatically upon gaining the holdership of e_byzantium.

Progression:

Passive: The track progresses naturally by 1pt yearly.

Dread Mechanic: If you have less than the anticipated dread level, you lose track progress by 0.50 pts. Fear is a tool of the office.

Warfare: Winning offensive wars grants a small amount of XP. Winning defensive wars (especially Civil Wars) grants significantly more XP.

Revocation (With Anti-Exploit): Revoking titles grants 2pts of XP.

Dev Note: To prevent exploiting mass revocations for instant XP, we added a "debounce" system. A temporary cooldown (4-6 months) is applied after revoking, ensuring you only get the XP reward once per batch of revocations.

Loss Conditions: If you lose any of the 3 key Roman titles (h_roman_empire, h_eastern_roman_empire, e_byzantium), the trait is removed.

🦅 The Western Empire

New Culture: Added Western Roman culture.

Delegation: Added a decision to delegate the Western Empire to a worthy subject.

Delegating the WRE now triggers a distinct map color change for the new realm.

De Jure Expansion:

Adjusted restored WRE de jure borders.

Added events for Francia, Hispania, Pannonia, and Noricum. Fully controlling these regions will now integrate them into the WRE de jure.

🎨 Flavor, Art, & Map

Innovations: Added several new innovations to the Late Roman culture group (covering both Western and Eastern Roman).

Special Buildings:

Hadrian's Gate: Added to Attaleia.

Column of Arcadius: Added to Selymbria.

Note: Placed in Selymbria rather than Constantinople due to the hardcoded limit of one special building per barony.

Art: Updated several decision illustrations featuring works by Ippolito Caffi & Giovanni Paolo Panini.

Court Positions: Added the Actuarius court position.

Localization:

Shortened Egypt titles for better readability (e.g., "Augustal Prefect X of Aegyptus" instead of "Augustal Prefect X of the Augustal Prefecture of Aegyptus").

Tweaked and improved male names in Late Roman namelists.

⚙️ Game Rules & Settings

Map Colors: Added optional Game Rules for ERE & WRE title colors (Currently only changes ERE).

De Jure Tweaks: Adjusted borders for Hungarian, German, and Dutch regions.

🔧 Fixes & Adjustments

Empire Shattering: Fixed issues regarding empire-shattering caused by landed_titles changes in the new update.

Council Flavor: ERE Steward titles now check for the liege's rank (e.g., A Councilor of a lowly Strategos will no longer be styled as Praepositus Sacri Cubiculi).

Anglo-Saxon Mercenaries: Decision now requires the correct title tier to trigger.

Localization Fixes: Added/Fixed localization for d_diyarbarkr and several other counties.

Cleanup: Fixed a leftover struggle game rule that was no longer intended.
