2024-08-13 v0.1.5.1
-----------

General:
- Updated the mod to vanilla 1.12.4

Defines & Game Rules:
- Added default game rule slowing hybrid and divergence
- Reduced a number of hard-coded defines, slowing the growth of cultural acceptance
- Added game rule restricting the creation of de jure titles if the ruler's primary title is titular; off by default and has an "AI only" variant as well.

New Mechanics:
- The Senate:
- Created two Senate institutions, with Roman and Constantinopolitan Senates, instead of having them on the map as a title
- The institution is interactable through the GUI as a new menu item
- Senate Interactions:
- Request Recognition:
- An event fires several days after taking the Senate Seat, where the Consul requests that you request Senatorial recognition
- You can Accept, Ignore the Senate, or Stall; all actions costing prestige and conferring modifiers
- After that event, players may request through the GUI that the Senate recognize them if they chose to stall instead of making a decision
- Rather than a decision, players may disestablish the Senate in the GUI if they are not a Roman-type culture or a Roman government
- Senatorial Recognition:
- Getting the recognition of the Senate confers a modifier which negates short-reign penalties, at the cost of prestige, but also gains an opinion bump with Senators
- Ignoring the Senate gains one prestige at the cost of an opinion malus with Senators
- Stalling the Senate hurts one's opinion with Senators, and each new consul will both the Senate Seat top liege, requesting that they seek the approval of the Senate
- Senate Character Interactions:
- The top liege of the Senate seat (Rome or Constantinople for East and West, respectively) and the consul may use Senate Interactions
- They may nominate a new Senator from characters in the "Senatorial Regions" around the Senate Seats or within the top liege of the Senate Holder's realm
- They may elevate dynasties to join the ranks of the senate
- The top liege of the Senate Seat may also nominate the next consul
- However, Senators react negatively to such interference by the top holder and such actions give negative opinion modifiers and cost variable prestige (depending on the nominee's traits and standing)
- Senatorial Families:
- Senatorial families have some implicit modifiers, granting prestige gain for dynasty members as well as bolstering diplomacy and intrigue
- Senatorial families expect to have a certain number of non-capital (or capital) baronies in their family
- Senatorial family dynasts will bother the holder of the Senate seat if their family has fewer holdings than desired
- Accepting grants a random non-capital barony to the Senator's family at the cost of aggrivating vassals
- Refusing irritates the whole Senate
- Traits and Modifiers:
- Senators for both the East and West have traits which denote their membership and provide some prestige gain
- The Consuls have a character modifier indicating their consulship
- Previous Consuls have a trait indicating their prior consulship
- These Traits have additional, culture-related modifiers
- Senate leadership is elected yearly
- The Senate will behave somewhat autonomously, electing Consuls every January, or sooner if the consul dies mid-term, from among their ranks
- Players may nominate Consuls if they hold the Senate Seat, annoying the Senate but giving their nominee prestige and renown, as well as making them next consul
- Senate and Title Revocation:
- Revoking non-capital baronies from Senators _without a revocation_ reason angers all Senators
- Applies even for bureaucratic and gubernatorial governments (who otherwise have very liberal revocation rules)
- This does not extend to Senators with counties or greater
- Either of the Senates may collapse if no senator is available to maintain the Senate's functions
- Rajamandala and Eranshahr governments cannot request interact with the Senate, as they function under very different understanding of universality than the Roman Empire
- Senatorial approval and disapproval comes with legitimacy gain and loss, modified by government type, held titles, and culture features
- Title Creation:
- Titular Cultural Titles and related concepts removed
- Holding only Titular Kingdoms or Empires prevents you from creating de jure kingdoms and empires
- Added a decision for making titular Kingdoms into de jure Kingdoms for characters who cannot establish Roman empires, or for land outside the Roman Empire
- Only available to non-tribal, non-nomad, non-Gubernatorial governments
- Requirements:
- Have held the duchy in which the capital county resides for at least 30 years
- Complete control of at least two duchies within the same de jure kingdom, one of which is the capital duchy
- The capital duchy is your culture and faith
- Your culture has Social Stratification and Writing Innovations
- Legitimacy Level of 3
- Prestige Level of 5
- Maximum Crown-Type Authority if government has it, or sufficient fedualization for Sub-Roman governments
- Added a decision for replacing de jure Roman Provinces with titular Kingdoms for characters who can establish Roman empires, for land within the Roman Empire
- Similar to the above, but requires complete control of the associated kingdom
- Prestige prices increases quadratically with the degree of feudalization in the Realm
- Also requires Legal Codex Innovation
- Added a decision for making titular Empires de jure
- Added a decision for making titular Roman Empires de jure

WtWSMS Mechanics, from Previous Releases:
- Minorities:
- Faith Conversion (by event/decision/interface): a large minority of your old faith will still exist in your capital if you convert
- Culture creation removes parent culture minorities in counties of the new culture
- If a hybrid or diverged culture is within the cooldown period, the parent cultures are subsumed instead of becoming a minority when the county culture changes
- Conversion (by any means) now will keep a large minority of the old faith in your capital county
- Rites and related faiths do not leave behind a minority if converted to the main faith, _unless_ it is a holy site of the Rite and not the main faith

Map and History:
- Adjusted position of the Ostrogoth presence around Lake Balaton
- Increased number of size and Amazigh minorities in North Africa

2022-09-11 v0.1.1
-----------

- Update for 1.7.0

Religion:
* Tib is a holy site for Mandeans, replacing Farz
* Assur, Ninive are holy sites for Assyrian Pagans; new holy sites are Assur, Ninive, Harran, Baghdad, and Sinjar

Culture:
* Frankish Traditions get 50% MAA maintenance cost (can't currently make that only prestige cost)

* Updated credits for more proper names and catching some contributors that had been missed

Major Bugfixes:
* Custom characters will not yield feudalism; on account of how CK3 works, on day 1 the character will be feudal. Day 2, it will revert to the previous government. We will continue to investigate how to mitigate this in the GUI in the future.

* Colonizers/Romance Culture/Hellenizers/Hellenic Culture traditions should be selectable so long as the resulting hybrid has the appropriate heritage
