Someone who is bold and greedy, or has low opinion.

They never do it against friends, lovers, blood brothers, etc.

Got you. Sounds good. If you get notifications, is there a way to work out which landless guy is doing it to you?
Loken  [author] Sep 18 @ 12:55pm 
Nevermind, it's tax impersonation contracts stealing.

After testing with huge empires I see the problem.
Released a hotfix now for criminal contracts.
It will now work like hostile schemes in vanilla - AI will try to not launch several contracts of the same type against the player at once.
Increased default CD to 10 years for each adventurer.
Added more notifications and made tax impersonation more rare.

Also added a game rule, allowing to set 5, 10, 20 years CD or to turn them off entirely.

Will further tweak and rework this in a bigger patch.
Loken  [author] Sep 18 @ 4:36am 
In any case, will look into criminal contracts a bit later today.
Loken  [author] Sep 18 @ 4:09am 
Thanks for the info.
Could you send me the save file? So I can address this more precisely.

If it was treasury heist there is a notification event and it's set to be very rare (4-5%).

@Loken

Thank you for the quick reply!
1) great. Thanks
2) my only comment is that almost immediately all my gold has been taken! I read in the comments that there is a timer of 5 years and perhaps this was just the initial tranche as I installed the mod in an ongoing game ... but ouch. Do you get notified etc about this? (I assume my gold vanished because of this)
3) I didn't even know there was one - but I have found it now
Loken  [author] Sep 17 @ 6:36am 
@leonpoi
1) Place it last in the load order if you want to be sure. It won't conflict with event packs and mods that don't affect adventurers. For AGOT and EK2 there's a compatch.
2) Balance is mostly based on vanilla values. Sometimes (legitimist troops) scaled vanilla values. But it's an ongoing processs and I'd be interested to hear any thoughts as well.
3) Are you using the adventurer mapmode? If they are far away you can invite them with an interaction first.
There will be some improvements to the interface in the next patch.

@Pelipelipelikan
Good idea. This may work as an option for the Raid itself, I think.
leonpoi Sep 17 @ 12:51am 
This mod looks pretty awesome and I’m about to give it a go. I have a few questions if anyone has the answers! Thanks in advance:
1) is there any load order suggestions for this based on popular mod conflicts? I mostly have event mods but have also just put the witchcraft mods on, otherwise pretty standard.
2) is there anything that people think from their experience is a bit unbalancing? At the moment I’ve focused on mods that keep the core balance for the most part.
3) i’m sure I’ll see it and find out in play, but how do I activate the contracts? How do I find landless adventures on the map? I’ve been playing as I landed character for ages now and don’t remember seeing a single one, unless I just overlooked them.
Pelipelipelikan Sep 16 @ 10:50am 
Love the mod! Could you maybe add a CB for adventurers to free followers Captured in a raid? Or maybe at least a scheme?
Kag Sep 16 @ 4:02am 
Really appreciate the consistent updates - awesome work dude

Here's the AGOT compatch.
Seems to be optional in practice, but can be used just in case.
Loken  [author] Sep 13 @ 1:42pm 
It's one of the planned things..
I had tested adventurer wars as a CB at some point before 0.1 was released, but they tend to not be very engaging in terms of gameplay. CK3 doesn't represent that kind of warfare well. So, a special scheme is more likely. At least, for now.
Dr. Nolegs Sep 13 @ 12:56pm 
I have one desire, and raid camp can technically do this eventually, but could you make a direct CB or scheme/raid/CB with the intent to destroy the adventurer title and camp itself?
Loken  [author] Sep 13 @ 10:05am 
Hey everyone. 0.3 is here. This time focused on "Offer contract", fixing many bugs, locas, and hopefully making it more functional and affordable. For "Deliver Artifact" and any new potential transport contracts I will later make a submod to limit vanilla teleports.
A game rule to use "Become Adventurer" decision more freely is also there.

Additional checks were added for AGOT, but new stuff contains references to holy wars, Iranian Intermezzo, etc. If you want cleaner error.log with AGOT you can wait a couple of days for a separate compatch removing those. EK2 is still compatible. It will print about frankokratia (from casus bellis), if you don't want that the same compatch will apply.
Captain Dragon Sep 13 @ 8:55am 
@Rinu Yes it does work with EK2, the dev has mentioned this before
Rinu Sep 12 @ 1:29pm 
does it work with Elder scrolls 2 ?
Master Necro Sep 11 @ 12:13pm 
Does this work without an update to the latest CK3 version?
Loken  [author] Sep 6 @ 9:28am 
Sure. Will add in 0.3 as a game rule,
perl Sep 5 @ 7:50am 
Could you add an option for landed rulers to become an adventurer regardless of title rank? i.e if you're playing as an emperor and you get bored, you can leave your heir to rule and go explore the world
ZoroTheBold Aug 30 @ 8:53pm 
Yeah sadly it is overwrritten. It would crash during adventurer creation, or upon loading a game as an adventurer. I have a single other mod (the Divine Intervention Cheat Menu as things can get funky in multiplayer and its good to have a mod to fix that). We'll do a clean install and all that and try it again some time.
Loken  [author] Aug 30 @ 8:39pm 
Thanks for the info, will look into that. I can't run mp tests regularly, but we shall see.
Did it crash during loading or when using specific interaction?
Any other mods?
Would appreciate error.log file (but it probably got overwritten by now)
ZoroTheBold Aug 30 @ 4:32pm 
Can confirm that it hard crashes to desktop in multiplayer, it is a very cool mod regardless :)
Loken  [author] Aug 30 @ 1:31pm 
It should.
Only camp merging is limited to ai targets.
Everything else is made to work both ways (sometimes more for one side than the other, but that's to be gradually fixed with patches).
ZoroTheBold Aug 29 @ 6:09pm 
Before we do the runaround of trying it I thought I'd ask. Does this work in multiplayer?
Loken  [author] Aug 27 @ 2:40pm 
@Eshminima yes.

@Toney To offer contracts use offer contract interaction on adventurer. This one will get updated soon.
Eshminima Aug 27 @ 8:38am 
Does this work with Elder Kings?
Toney Aug 27 @ 2:14am 
How do I offer contracts as a landed ruler?
Trask222 Aug 11 @ 10:54am 
Of course, I should have mentioned that at the begining - your mod is great, super useful to enhance landless gameplay, thanks a lot for making it !
Loken  [author] Aug 11 @ 7:03am 
I will consider this when making new contracts for LOAA.

Generally, faith conversion, train knights, increase control etc. are council task contracts, they are already spawned in vanilla by the AI councillors, so I will be implementing other things in the nearest future.

Any suggestions in that regard are welcome.
Trask222 Aug 10 @ 11:13am 
@Loken Actually, on the mod description page of Employ Landless Adventurers it's been reported in the comments section that some of the contracts, especially those concerning converting the faith of lands is overpowered, as AI is doing so very quickly with kind of low effort to it, so I guess it's probably better to use your mod for the time being
Loken  [author] Aug 10 @ 9:16am 
Perhaps only the UI will be confusing with several "employment" buttons.
The types of contracts differ.
But it's worth keeping the approach difference in mind, because in ELA tasks are for NPC adventurers only. With LOAA my intention is for everything to use a single ruleset and allow character switching/multiplayer/etc.

I'm planning a relatively big update to the contract system with 0.3.
Ġedryht of Wōden Aug 10 @ 6:58am 
Would Employ Landless Adventurer therefore be redundant in this mod? I'd like to know if that mod is also worth adding into my modlist with this mod.
Loken  [author] Aug 9 @ 10:27am 
It depends on the implementation of the feature.
If you mean Employ Landless, LOAA contracts work differently (using the contract system) and there are no overlaps. It's compatible.
Trask222 Aug 9 @ 9:37am 
@Loken In case if there's already a mod that does exactly one of the features that is present in your mod, will this mod simply override the previous one or will there be a conflict resulting in a crash i.e. can I safely use both and load your mod after ?
Loken  [author] Aug 8 @ 6:57am 
Yes.
razormega960 Aug 8 @ 12:21am 
is this mod still allows achievement ?
george01302006 Aug 4 @ 6:34am 
nevermind it works
george01302006 Aug 4 @ 4:32am 
Sorry but it still say legitimsit is a requirement
george01302006 Aug 4 @ 4:10am 
Oh thank you
Loken  [author] Aug 4 @ 1:11am 
No, that's a result of applying unnecessary restrictions on trigger at some point.

You can try it now, a different cb with no legitimist requirements should appear.
george01302006 Aug 3 @ 9:25pm 
just to clarify When you say Fight for your followers' claims, does it mean family only as a landless ruler.
george01302006 Aug 3 @ 7:22pm 
hey so I am a brigand and thus kidnapped a claimant and made them marry one of my siblings but I can't press their claim because I am not a Legitimists is this intentional?
Loken  [author] Aug 3 @ 6:05pm 
Added a game rule to allow Offer Legitimist Support to be used on courtier claimants, which turns them into a legitimist adventurer. Disabled by default. Plan to eventually make random events that achieve the same thing in a more organic way.

Thanks for the feedback.
justinanderson70, more ways to act against landed rulers will appear.
Skorion, it will likely stay generally compatible with everything.
justinanderson70 Aug 2 @ 7:51pm 
the mod but l'd love to add a way to retaliate against landed rulers who raid your camp
Skorion Aug 2 @ 2:27am 
Love this project, I hope it will continue, and hopefuly it will be compatible with overalls like LOTR.
Meisterstratege für Arme Jul 30 @ 2:43am 
Thanks!
Loken  [author] Jul 29 @ 2:42pm 
Yes. It works with everything that doesn't overwrite the same files.
Meisterstratege für Arme Jul 29 @ 2:14pm 
Does this work with the Landless Opportunities (Playable Courtiers) and the Employ Landless Adventurer mods?
Loken  [author] Jul 29 @ 1:40pm 
Implemented Offer Legitimist Support interaction, thanks to Lord for contributions to the english loc.
AI criminal contracts now have CD of 5 years, if at least one has been completed recently (for each adventurer). So the pacing there should be better now. Also further reduced chances of personally invited adventurers taking such contracts,
damsha123 Jul 29 @ 12:20pm 
Holy hell the criminal contracts specifically the heist treasury scheme is actually fkn game ruining every couple of months i lose 500+ gold and i can't get more then a 1000 gold which means i basically can't do any higher quality activities as an emperor because the cost scales with your title level or your income i think. One way of fixing this would probably be to cap the amount of gold that the ai can steal from you like 100-200 max and add a cool down to how often you can do this scheme it should probably be like 1-2 years. Otherwise really great mod i like all the other features.
