📋 About This Mod

WARNING!

This is an early system that needs a lot of balancing. Stick to your version if you aren't up for some experimenting.

This mod replaces the game's default loyalty system, hence it is incompatible with mods that also replace it. It might work and not crash, but will provide a different experience. Use such mods at your own risk together with Revolutions.

Revolutions is built with compatibility in mind, and the only thing the mod overrides is Town Loyalty model. We should be compatible with almost everything, provided it doesn't destroy or meddle with the assets our mod creates (kingdoms, parties and characters). One of the people on our team runs over 75 mods with Revolution and has had no issues.

RECOMMENDATIONS

We recommend using the Civil War mechanic with other mods which make relations between lords change more organically. We have noticed a better player experience with the following mods and recommend that players consider using them with with the following settings:

Defection Overhaul

Fighting Together Relationship

Evilnobleman's Executioner Edit and AI Values Life

Matchmaker

Relations with Lords in Politics

Save Overhaul

Diplomacy Fixes

Improved Garrisons

Distinguished Service

Calradia Expanded

Current

Revolts aim to slow down snowballing by adding an additional challenge: Conquered towns will now fight back against an occupying kingdom.

When you first launch the mod, each town will be loyal to its current owner. When towns are conquered by a different faction, daily loyalty decreases by a base of -5.  Once town loyalty is low enough, the local nobility will start plotting a revolt against the occupying force! Eventually, a revolt will appear outside of the city and assault it. If the kingdom the population is loyal to is at war with the current owner, a party belonging to the loyal kingdom will spawn.

Should the Minor Faction mechanic be turned on and the original faction is at peace with the current holder, a new noble will step up to lead the revolt which will form its own kingdom if its successfully defeats the garrison!

Each city is loyal to a single kingdom, meaning that even after a successful revolt, another clan from the city may revolt against the current holder!

The revolting army has a base of 100 soldiers. The existing city militia migrates to the revolutionary army and on top of that, the revolting army receives soldiers which equal 10% of the town's prosperity by default.

Maintaining high city daily loyalty will prevent revolts. By default, the player receives a boost to loyalty to prevent early-game rebellions. Also, when the owner of a town stays at the settlement overnight, the city will receive +5 loyalty flat boost.

This feature works best with a new game or a game where one faction hasn't dominated yet.

Current

With Civil Wars enabled, Lords will no longer be passive participants in the diplomatic landscape of Calradia. From now on, Kings must be careful to keep their Vassals content or face the risk of a Noble uprising against their rule!

Lords with poor relations with their liege have a chance to start conspiring. Over time, these plots can grow if more lords become disgruntled.

The decision to plot is influenced by many factors including the honor of the lord and how many of the lord’s friends happen to alread

  • Back up your saves before installing, as the mod creates its own save data in the Configs folder.
