I guess this mod is now became abandoned...

So, how's that overhaul going?

@A Shiny Noob

I have yet to code the AI to properly use the Courtesan Guild civic. AI spawning with the civic is a bug, though them spawning without a Hall is a flaw in my coding. I'm planning on doing a major overhaul in January 2023, and I can take a crack at setting up the AI then.

If you'd like work on it yourself and create an AI submod for Courtesan's Guild before then, go ahead. I think that's a great idea!

Is anyone else having an issue with AI not properly using the courtesan civic? Like the AI isn't spawning with a guild hall or courtesan and doesn't seem to be building anything related to it. Can I fix this?

Eh, realistically, with that on top of the stability/influence(early game) bonuses, is pretty decent.

The first level of the building is for some reason, free, so is kind of a no brainer to get.(may not be intentional)

Hey, Zangi, thanks for catching that! I went in and added different job descriptions, so there shouldn't be anymore regular empire vs mega corp confusion.

If you think the Trade Value (which I just buffed to 7 from 5) + amenities isn't strong / worthwhile, please let me know. I don't play Megacorps very often so input is very welcome here. Thanks!

So... I came here to complain that Courtesans don't give any unity despite what the tooltips are saying.
Then I looked into the job files and see that by intention, megacorps get trade value instead of unity.

I created this submod for PTP (Portrait Trigger Pack) for this mod:

Hey, @greensniperhat, thanks for catching that! I thought I'd fixed it, but I found another one. It should all work now. Please let me know if see anything wrong! :)

buildings has swapped and non_swapped traditions, supposed to be active traditions

Ty for the update!

@ImperialWill Hey, thank you for the welcome back and your earlier concern! :) I had a lot of burnout following crunch at my day job so I took a break. I apologize for the delay and I plan to add another guild and a balance update by around mid February!

@Socratespanda Welcome back! ^_^/

I wonder if Socratespanda is alright... Has he even been on recently? If not, I'm likely to assume the worst and fear that they might be deceased. I hope not, I hope they're okay, but... Unless they make an appearance, there's no way to know.

This mod is *not* 3.2 compat, several changes in scrpting language has made it not work correctly. The fixes *are* possible (and I'm tempted to make a quicky patch), mostly in the jobs slot. (The errors that are futzing with the job is the 'can_fill...' under possible = {)

Hm. What would block a Guild Courtesan job from being taken? Perhaps this needs looking at?

I was reading and saw two comments asking about slaves and servant pops being used as courtesans. Did those ever get answered or addressed? Really like the flavor of this entire mod!

I enjoy this mod. Hope you update it sometime soon!

@Mud I might, and you make a good point. I learned a few coding things while making the Fleshcutter Guild, so I'll have to revisit the topic. Any suggestions what it could do?

I mad the Courtesan civic unchangeable was an attempt at balance, similar to the old Post-Apocalyptic civic. Ultimately, it felt strange and constrictive, so I flipped it back.

....Bene Gesserit. Hmm.

Hope you can come back to the courtesan leader traits. Since it represents a unique form of government it would be pretty nice to have that. I respect not just wanting to add things that aren't up to snuff though. Also: What is the rationale for making it unique form of government beyond flavor? Is there a mechanical reason for it?

Seems kinda overpowered that courtesans provide administrative capacity, with the AI already being quite retarded

@Mud;
Hope you like it!
You're right. I locked the Courtesan Festival behind the civic. Thanks for catching that.

@CTA/\KEP, @ddenomme; I've added Megacrop support for this mod. Megacorp isn't my go-to play style, so please check it out and let me know if you have any suggestions.

@玄鸟; Slaves with Domestic Servitude can fill the Courtesan job roll, just like the Entertainer job. Its difficult to convince Domestic Servitude slaves to jump to specialist though, no matter the conditions. Next patch I can try upping the modifier weight for Domestic Servitude and see if that helps.

Servants should be able to fill in as courtesan

Can slaves be courtesan?

just an idea you might want to add a mega corp/criminal heratige branch office building to this civic

Suggestion: the government type should be renamed "Pornocracy"

pls add megacorp support for civic

This mod adds civics with a Patron job...

One suggestion: It doesn't seem to make sense that this decision is available to a non-courtesan court government.

This looks interesting and I'm gonna give it a sub. Any chance you'd let the civic just stay the normal color though? A bit jarring and it feels more like vanilla when they are the same color. I think what I like most is the thought you've put in this in terms of integrating the lore to the game mechanics. It's not just "hurr courtesans".

Hi, neat idea! RE: More polish, https://www.getpaint.net/download.html is a freeware image editor that lets you easily crop images to just the area you'd like to show.
