Is medium and low karma supposed to give you -10% personal liberty desire? or was this supposed to be liberty desire in subjects?

Hello everyone, I just want to say thanks to everyone whose been enjoying the mod. This is my first time doing something like this and it means a lot that people seem to like it.

I haven't been working on the mod because I've been in school, but I'll likely keep working on it this summer. It appears that the new DLC/game updates have effectively made this mod a bit obsolete, so I'll have to work on that (I haven't played the new DLC/even EU4 in a long time).

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I will keep working on this within a few months. I've seen your guys' comments and suggestions and they seem like cool ideas so I'll try to implement those along with finishing the various African religions that have been neglected.

I will also be replacing the Jewish Holy Sites mechanic with the new Jewish mechanic, frankly because it works well.

See y'all soon and thanks again for trying out the mod even if it's nowhere near finished and has been admittedly neglected.

Also, the new jewish and zoroastrian mechnics would be very nice to be playable. Great mod tho! Cannot play without it!

Eastern catholics can maybe get patriarch mechanics and no malus with latin catholics? Cause they are see as heretics and there are no eastern catholics contries so teh papacy mechanics is a little bit useless. Holy sites can also be nice, like the patriarchal sites.:steamhappy:

Was great until it crashed a month or so in. I used the custom nation designer to add some nestorian nations and used the random world game option, but idrk what exactly caused it. Might just be due to this being a version behind? Sad times, I was kind of excited for this one.
