# Princes of Darkness, "Via Regalia", Version 1.15.0

- Compatibility with Crusader Kings III 1.15.0 "Crown" update and "Crowns of the World" DLC

## Gameplay Additions
- Added a character interaction to offer one of the potions in your inventory to another character

## Gameplay Changes
- The "Install New Ruler" CB now lets you choose beneficiaries who are already landed
- Tweaked the logic for characters staying in your court when going from landed -> landless. Characters you'd be able to invite anyway (e.g. Coterie members or ghouls) stay with you. Also, former camp followers (if you went landless -> landed -> landless again) stay with you too, and can be reinvited in the future
- Enabled the Ingame Character Creator trait for Adventurers in the Ruler Designer
- Cleaned up various requirements for vampire mechanics that shouldn't show up for half-splats that don't participate in vampire politics (like ghoul hunters or ghouled werewolves)
- Added a dedicated game rule for letting all splats learn Sorcery in Custom Mode (previously, it was part of the splat-mixing game rule)
- Any splat can now recruit torpid vampires after waking them up, as long as they're able to have diplomatic relations with vampires in the first place (previously, it was just a few select ones like Black Spiral Dancers)
- Integration of the monuments DLC into PoD (buildings effects and prerequisites tweaked, some locations changed to not conflict with PoD wonders etc). The game rule to enable them has thus been removed
- Lucita's ghouls will now follow her if she choose to become landless via her starting event
- Ghouls (with a master) are now protected from being culled by CK3 population control script
- Removed sorcerer trait from existing characters that can't be sorcerers post Vecson's rework

## Interface
- Clarified some tooltips for domicile buildings that require Ashen Adventurer experience
- Made sure the PoD "DLC" doesn't show up as "disabled" in the new DLC window
- Added checkbox to crafting GUI to enable alert when cooldown for it has ended.

## Debug
- Added a debug interaction for forcing a character into prison and skipping the duel event that usually happens

- Various small fixes (loca, misleading wraith dynasty legacy, wrong faith mortals pulled by scout talent, haven defenses losing properties at higher levels)
- Fix for ambassador patrons becoming independent if gifted land by their landless ambassador
- Fixed a weird script logic issue that resulted in Aquitaine inheriting Leon if Lucita became landless
- Added a safeguard so that Fae/Demons who get trapped in the Umbra don't take their artifacts with them

# Princes of Darkness, "Unlanded & Unnamed", Version 1.14.3 2/25/2025
- Compatibility with Crusader Kings 3 version 1.14.3 (Traverse), Arctic Attire & Medieval Monuments

## DLC Compatibility
- Added Arctic Attire to the relevant cultures

## Landless
- Landless Inquisitors
- New buildings, mechanics (Curia Support, recruit from other orders, ask for invasion) and new objectives tailored for landless
- Landless Independent Hunters (non Shih)
- New dynasty legacy and objectives tailored for landless
- Landless vampires
- Ambassador path : Choose a patron to support and help them achieve greatness while you build your camp and rank up your ashen ambassador trait
- Grandmaster path : Complete martial or war contracts to gain grandmaster xp. This xp can be used to improve the three precepts of your military order (pre selected for canon orders, your choice for custom ones)
- Caravan path : Cover starting costs to unlock the trait, then level it by doing transport contracts. The trait unlocks new landless court positions and can divide travel options costs by 2.
- Cult path : After creating your cult, unlock county based actions to help or hinder local rulers depending on their faith, gaining trait xp in the process. The trait xp unlocks additional herd and ghoul max size.
- Added new contracts:
- Assault an Exposed Lair: For Hunters. Based on the existing Find Lair events
- Overhauled the natural disaster events
- Natural disasters are now contracts. If you (or any Coterie member!) can predict the weather, you get notified 3 years in advance
- You can now prevent or intensify natural disasters if any present Coterie member can manipulate the weather. This also includes Fae (with the Eldritch Prime cantrip) and Sorcerers (with Weather Control 6)
- Intensifying natural disasters now counts as a heinous act for the purposes of Golconda. Also, Wyrm-aligned faiths get piety from it
- Added two event options for providing disaster relief to mortals, available even if you can't manipulate the weather
- Basic relief costs gold, adds piety, and gives a True Faith perk point if you have the trait
- Extensive relief costs massive stress and more gold, adds more piety, and gives Beatific trait xp (up to 100)
- Added an event option for turning the disaster into good weather, which has the same stress cost and rewards as the extensive relief option
- Fixed some glitches that could happen when trying to travel to a disaster while you already had a travel plan in progress
- Fixed some faulty dates for historical natural disasters
- Added canon landless characters and starting events to go landless for characters that we still want playable without a DLC but should be landless
- Added playable landless characters

- Path of Karma
- Divine Hand

- Movement of the Mind
- Path of the Blood's Curse

## Sorcery rework
- Improved and expanded the sorcerer lifestyle tree

## Crafting rework
- Crafting has been completely reworked to be easier to understand and use

## Herd and Resonance
- Herd is now a game concept
- Blood tithes and auto animal interaction have been removed
- The base resonance gains have been reduced
- Herd and ghoul max size are no longer tied to stats
- The above is compensated (and in some cases, exceeded) by the new domicile buildings
# The goal here was to remove obfuscated (herd and ghoul max size) and micro intensive systems (maximizing resonance especially animal one) and replacing them by easy to grasp and less tedious methods, domicile buildings in that instance

## Wraith
- Wraith rework #They are still only playable by custom character but should feel better and be more interesting for those who want to try them

## Game Rules
- Added an experimental game rule that removes levies from the game. More testing required
- Added a game rule to halve resonance gains
- Added a game rule to disable the Flaying Plague
- Added a game rule that lifts the restrictions on which splats can participate in tournaments
- The game rule to remove patrons/easter egg characters is now much smarter about how to give the empty land to, resulting in less bordergore when this rule is activated
- Hid the "World of Darkness" game rule (it still exists in the code so that submods can make use of it)
- Non-default game rules now have subtly highlighted text, like those from vanilla

## Gameplay Additions
- Added an objective inspired by the Constantinian Fae for the "Catholic adjacent" Garou faiths to be accepted by Hunters #Adapted from littleking_soul work
- The war for Livonia is (finally) now a thing, a chain of events for Jürgen, Alexander and Qarakh #the AI will always follow the canon choices, ending with Alexander taking over Black Cross Prussia and warring against Livonia but players can make other choices

## Gameplay Changes
- Some characters now start with an event to switch to landless if that makes sense for them (and you have the DLC). Lucita has a new special objective in this path as well
- Rebalanced the costs of learning certain abilities:
- Lowered the cost of learning Fae Arts and Slivers (1000 -> 500) since their lifestyle trees are smaller than average
- Increased the cost of learning Lament, Theurgy, and Psychic Powers (500 -> 1000) since they contain multiple lifestyle trees
- Increased the prestige gain from hunting Werewolves/Fae/Demons to bring it up to par with hunting Vampires
- If you abandon a Journey to learn a new ability, it no longer counts for increasing the cost of future Journeys

- Thanks to paradox adding a new command, added the possibility for hunters and shapeshifters to designate any member of their house as heir and not only one of their children
- AI Fae and shapeshifters won't marry each other anymore. No changes for players. #Shapeshifters and fae marrying make the shapeshifters extinct in a couple of generations with the way our splats script are setup
- Added Slovien culture to provinces following vanilla CK3. Added it to a few characters as well
- The access caern perk now lets you also use (but not construct) the unique/wonders caerns
- Adjusted the rewards for hunting Kuei-Jin via the Find Lair Journey to be in line with Vampire hunt rewards (they always gave you the minimum rewards before, regardless of the victim's age)
- Rock Lord now has an house modifier
- Aristotle's event is now less definitive about him being "the" Aristotle. His stats are also been brought in line with PoD's conventions (yes that mean nerfed)
- Mycenean culture can now achieve the independent/French victory path of the Frenc

## Landless checks
## Note that landless is still in testing for PoD. Those are just incremental improvements, not an official release
- Made an adjustment pass for landed triggers across the whole mod. Interactions, decisions, and events that previously required a landed user or target are now available for landless characters...
- ...Within reason. Mechanics that have landed requirements (e.g. owning vassals, buildings, or certain landed titles) are still only available to landed characters. Other requirements weren't changed (for now).

## Gameplay
