I Want Shieldmaiden

Description
The vanilla Shieldmaiden in CK3 is like tasteless jerky - not worth keeping yet hard to abandon. The fact that you can't even assign courtiers as Shieldmaidens is absurd:
Are we supposed to believe, a warrior(even a Norse woman) with 35 Prowess just can't fight in the battleground, even if I really need her/him to do so?
So I made this simple mod and try to make it more viable and fun, and by the way, this mod has no Compatibility problem and needs no dlc, because I like such mods.


Content
Player always can make someone a shieldmaiden (by character interaction), condition:
- is yourself
- is your courtier
- is your close family
Feature
- lose a little legitimacy if not have vanilla shieldmaiden culture tradition
- it's a bit harder to be accepted than vanilla game
- no need DLC


Compatibility
Can be used with all mods


need you guys' thumb up

supporting language: ALL

@Jon Severinson Thx a lot:BEheart: and now this bug is fixed

Unfortunately this mod prevents the AI from designating shieldmaidens at all. So I went ahead and merged the character interaction in this mod with the vanilla interaction: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/JonSeverinsson/1da683a1a928efe72aa0e29a1d8f7b62/raw/6b0549b0548c105e183a5b77676113aebb862939/iws_hunter_interaction.txt
I made sure that the requirements matches this mod, but to allow the AI to use the interaction if, and only if, it would in vanilla. I also changed the acceptance chance, it now matches vanilla if the would-be shieldmaiden's culture has access to shieldmaidens in vanilla, but matches the mod for any other characters.
@Hunter: Fell free to either copy-paste this as is, or just take whatever parts of it you like.

问题其实是, 顿女总是出事件受伤, 合着我35勇武的高达面对7勇武的渣渣重伤甚至死亡, 不能接受. 我记得我玩盾女感受如此.

Nice Idea. I think the idea of a "shield maidens" is a cool mechanic and I'd love to see more ideas and uses for it.

您好作者，我想问一下，开了这个mod之后为啥我和女儿右键互动选项里还是没找到成为盾女的相关按钮呢，她是我的庭臣，还是说我得切换角色到我女儿才能用

the guy who said they didnt exist is fucking stupid. we have found shieldmaiden bodies from dublin to god damn tunis (if your wondering why tunis likely a raider killed in battle given a quick burial) also great mod. i do wish shieldmaidens had some sort of unique stuff but thats unrealistic. this already goes a long way in making it a good feature. good on you mate its quite good

If all CK3 mods had to have a basis in history to be created, then a lot of fun mods wouldn't exist. Not only that, but yeah, shield-maidens did probably exist. They appear in oral tradition, mythology and, if you go far back enough, the Romans talk about seeing women in battle among Germanic tribes. We've also found women's bodies with weapons in graves during archaeological digs. They probably existed.
