The AI will not use this, it is for players only.

It should be compatible with just about anything because it consists of it's own unique events and actions.

Do the ai also do this?
Mad Lad 26 Jun, 2020 @ 2:38pm 
Anyone try this for AGOT? Is it compatible??

Could you please implement Sir Frederick's fixes and correct the spelling of gregarious?

@TheyCallMeVincenzo

I won't be making any other versions of this mod but you could manually mod my mod to do it. It'd be one line of code to make it work that way.
TheyCallMeVincenzo 18 Mar, 2020 @ 12:31am 
Can you make a version that you have to be above 60 to make a friend?
Neil 28 May, 2019 @ 11:13am 
In addition to Sir Fredericks fixes, I recommend fixing the authors spelling of

gregarious

Both files within the events folder - 4 instances. replace gregorious with gregarious.

why i can't use friend and rival in other character when i used it on on character?
L4C_Fantome 30 Nov, 2018 @ 7:38am 
fixe in 2.8.3.3?

Fixed it :summerghost: Added some modifiers since I was messing around there anyway. Hope this helps the mod author with having a refrence made from his work. Cheers!
This is in the decisions folder, inside the make_rival text file.
potential = { #Conditions on the

vassal or dynasty member for the decision to appear
is_adult = yes
is_within_diplo_range = FROM
NOT = {
character = FROM
is_friend = FROM
is_rival = FROM
is_lover = FROM
}
}
allow = { #Conditions

for the decision to be enabled
NOT = {
opinion = {
who = FROM
value = -40
}
}
NOT = {
has_character_modifier = recent_friend
num_of_rivals = 5
}
prisoner = no
FROM = {
piety = 100
}

The 'make rival' option is bugged, in that it requires an opinion GREATER THAN or EQUAL TO -40.
Opinions LOWER than -40, can't make rival, opinion +100, can make a rival

I think it'll say it's not compatible but it should still work fine. The AI wont use this, it's for humans doing multiplayer.
maximius_serbus 19 Jul, 2018 @ 3:25pm 
Can AI use this decision too? And is it compatible with latest version of the game?
svierstr 1 Apr, 2018 @ 1:36am 
this is the only thing that made ck2 playable for me ):
James009  [author] 23 Jan, 2018 @ 11:25pm 
It happened again. What the-
James009  [author] 3 Nov, 2017 @ 7:43pm 
Not sure how or why but this mod was set to hidden for god knows how long. FML.
steely111 14 Aug, 2017 @ 11:57pm 
Yep, I merged it and it works just fine!
James009  [author] 14 Aug, 2017 @ 6:34pm 
Nope, I did not merge it. Good to know. Thanks.
steely111 13 Aug, 2017 @ 8:14pm 
When you tested it with GoT, did you merge the mod with the game of thrones mod? That's typically what you have to do to make other mods work with GoT.

* plays war - why can't we be friends, while i unite europe peacefully * :steamhappy:
James009  [author] 29 Jul, 2017 @ 8:37pm 
Good to know, thanks.

It does work with HIP. Finally I can be friends with courtiers and vasals.
James009  [author] 29 Jul, 2017 @ 1:59pm 
No idea, never used it. I'd imagine it should be because it's just a new thing you can do which is independant of everything.

I tried it with GoT and it didn't seem to work but I didn't do a lot of testing.
MarriedComfortLabia 29 Jul, 2017 @ 1:57pm 
is this compatible with HIP?
James009  [author] 26 Jul, 2017 @ 10:51pm 
In all honesty, that is how this mod was created. However, it took me a couple of days of hard work to figure everything out, research what I was doing, test it, get it functioning properly, write up the STEAM stuff, then draw excellent MS Paint art, and finalize everything.

As a non-coder, this stuff ain't easy.
Fine 26 Jul, 2017 @ 10:06pm 
Well it kind of is; I've modded plenty of other games and I can tell you that you can find out a lot just by looking at mods that do similar things to what you want to accomplish with your own mod
James009  [author] 26 Jul, 2017 @ 9:17pm 
... if only modding was so easy , lol.
Fine 26 Jul, 2017 @ 9:14pm 
or alternatively look at other mods that add rules to the rule screen and figure out how they did it
Fine 26 Jul, 2017 @ 9:13pm 
I have no idea, google it
James009  [author] 26 Jul, 2017 @ 9:11pm 
Any guides on how to add options to the rulescreens?
Fine 26 Jul, 2017 @ 7:00pm 
Just make an alternate version, a seperate mod
I think 50 and 100 would be fair increments
Better yet, if you can figure out how to add the option to the rulescreen, you can allow full customization of the opinion requirement
Makalister 23 Jul, 2017 @ 8:27am 
If you could do a rival version it would be great.
Crab Goblin 13 Jul, 2017 @ 5:03pm 
It might be better if, in order to befriend someone, they had to have a higher opinion of you, I'm not sure how much higher, but 40 is too low. it makes the system easy to abuse.

I think a longer cooldown would be good. Also, maybe freindships could be more likely to end. I.e. get into a debat about the rights of rulership or something like that, that causes your friendship to breakdown. Another good way to nerf could be to limit the amount of friends you are able to make, so that way you can't befriend the whole realm (like I do) and get max levies out of your vassals at all times.
James009  [author] 13 Jul, 2017 @ 12:40pm 
It can be overpowered, for sure. During multiplayer testing I realized my buddy has like ten friends. That being said, I don't want to overly respond and nerf the whole project. I might extend the cooldown to a year or increase the amount they like you or make it fail more.
Crab Goblin 13 Jul, 2017 @ 9:15am 
It's a bit overpowered, because you can just spam gifts to all your high ranking vassals and then befriend them, and then they all have 100+ opinion of you and you never have to worry about placating them.

But hey, I'm not complaining.

Dom 2 Jul, 2017 @ 1:50pm 
With this mod I can have friends now. Still don't have any in real life tho
Chronic Froggy 26 Jun, 2017 @ 4:18am 
Decent MOD. I think it makes things a bit more realistic.
Abbot 20 Jun, 2017 @ 2:39am 
I would
James009  [author] 16 Jun, 2017 @ 4:59pm 
That's an interesting idea. I could look into implementing that.

Would players use it?
Bob Mauley 16 Jun, 2017 @ 4:43pm 
Really nice, a rival version would be great!
BigBro 12 Jun, 2017 @ 10:47am 
I have never seen friendship captured in art more exquisitely. Kudos to you sir (and a subscription).
Tiddles Widdles 11 Jun, 2017 @ 10:13pm

W. D. Wrastor 11 Jun, 2017 @ 12:47pm

Chicken Soup 11 Jun, 2017 @ 10:52am 
No, this is a high-tier thumbnail. :steamhappy:
