Auto Courtier Marriages And Guardians

Are you tired of manually marrying off your knights every time a new one joins your ranks? Are you likewise tired of manually assigning guardians to children in your court? Perhaps you've always dreamed of raising a long-forgotten dynasty back to power. Or perhaps you just want your court to feel a bit more lively... Whatever the case, this mod is designed to get you covered.

• This mod only affects characters who and whose close family members are not rulers. For example, children and grandchildren of players are never affected by the mod.
  
  
• Employed courtiers (knights, councilors, diarchs, court position holders, etc.) can now get married by themselves. The same applies to all courtiers of noble blood. Other characters, such as freeloading lowborns, can still become recipients of the offer, however.
  
  
• The process is not instant, so it may take several years for any given character to find their desirable match. This gives players time to manually arrange marriages if desired.
  
  
• Several factors, including age difference and mutual opinion, are considered when choosing a partner. Matrilineal and same-sex marriages are fully supported when appropriate.
  
  
• Courtiers prefer to marry other courtiers, followed by guests and passing-by wanderers. Even skilled lowborns from a nearby village can get lucky if no other options are available.
  
  
• In addition to the above mechanics, children without ruler relatives now tend to be educated by a close family member, instead of being left to fend for themselves until adulthood. A new guardian is chosen within a year if there currently isn't one.

But wait, if the new courtier features affect every valid character, wouldn't they become exponentially more taxing on performance in the long run? The answer is no! Vanilla CK3 is capable of culling excess population by default (through diseases and plagues, by limiting all lowborn couples to just 1 child, and so on). The mod is further optimized by making use of existing wandering characters instead of needlessly creating new ones.

This mod does not override vanilla files and should be compatible with all game versions past version 1.10. It can be added or removed at any time during ongoing playthroughs.
