Less Random Deadly Duels

Description
This is a simple small mod that makes duels less random. You should no longer lose a duel if you are by far the better duelist. The exact threshold varies depending on circumstances, but if your skill is 100 points higher than your opponent's skill you should always win the fight.

The exception to this rule is if your opponent cheated in which case it's possible that you both end up killing each other. But if you have equal or higher Intrigue you will discover the cheating and it will have no effect.

If you somehow still lose a duel despite this mod please let me know in the comments and I will investigate it.

Manual installation version is available: here[www.dropbox.com]


COMPATIBILITY

The mod changes the checksum of the game and as a result it will prevent you from getting achievements.

It changes only one file:
1) Crusader Kings II/common/scripted_effects/01_scripted_effects_duels.txt

As a result it should be compatible with the vast majority of other mods, with the exception of those that also change that same file.


SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION

If you like this mod, you might also be interested in one of my other mods.

Finally, I'd be grateful if you could rate the mod with either thumbs up or thumbs down. The button for it is up just below the mod cover image.

Works fine if not using ck+ or other huge overhaul mod. It's hard to get back to ck2 without this, where duels for players got rigged way too much like modern git gud games.

Does this mod also apply to battlefield duels?

Is this mod save game compatible?

is there anyway we will ever get a version thats compatible with ck2plus? if i try to use it atm it gives me 2 events of duels. Also the CK2plus event system is as random as vanilla, i had 400 FUCKING DUEL POWER and died to a fat one handed leper with -17.

I'm not the most patient person, so I reloaded about 3-4 times and it was always the same. Nevermind. Most of kings in my games are actually horrible, so I keep them away. It's only problem when I try to go out and "socialize" with other kings xD

How many times did you reload the save?

Anyway, I can tell you that while using the mod I've experienced quite balanced outcomes:
Known outcome when there is a huge difference and RNG outcomes when the two combat skills are similar (I've both won and lost with 1-5 Combat skills difference.)

But that's my experience, so it can totally be that the mod is actually broken :V

Yes, I reloaded the save before the duel, every time it's the same. I expect it could be that enemy cheats, but explaining it to myself every time is a pain in the ass.
