Abdication actually works

Description

This mod seeks to change the "opinion" of the rival Emperor to a realistic rate. I have two versions of this mod. One is the "Base" version that changes the Emperor's base opinion of the Abdication option from -100 to -69. This is a difficult but achievable number and I was able to get as far as 69. 9 in Strategic Situation score in a Liu Bei run. I had about 60 commanderies as Liu Bei while my rival (Cao Cao) had 14. The "Plus" version adds some depth to the numbers, decreasing the opinion to -40 if your Rival Emperor are best friends with you, and -100 if your Rival Emperor is your bitter enemy, while having -69 for the rest of the relationships.

Installation instructions

Simply put the "Base" or "Plus" mod in the mod folder and enable it with the launcher of your choice.

Main features

Changes the base opinion of your Rival Emperor from an impossible -100 to a realistic -69 when asking to abdicate their throne through diplomacy. The Plus version changes the opinion to -40 if you're best friends with them and -100 if you're bitter enemies. When the throne is abdicated through diplomacy, not only do you get their throne, but also acquire all their territories, essentially annexing them without any diplomatic penalties.

Requirements

No other requirements.
