Adoption Options

This mod enhances adoptions in game with more religion and cultural variation. Adds new doctrines, cultural traditions, and decisions. Depending on your doctrines and traditions you can adopt other characters via an interaction or a decision. The AI is also able to adopt if their faith/culture allows.


Adoption Doctrines:
Prevalence of Adoption:
Forbidden: Used if game rule is set to no adoptions
Illegitimate: Can adopt, but restrictions on it and negative opinion associated with it
Rare: Can adopt, but restrictions on it (see 2nd image)
Uncommon: Can adopt as long as you don't displace your proper heir. No renown cost
Common: Adoptions are more common. No renown or prestige cost

Type of Adoption:
Familial: Can adopt those related to you (directly or through marriage). Cannot adopt rulers or their descendants
Lowborn: Can adopt lowborns, as well as those related to you. Cannot adopt rulers or their descendants
Noble: Can adopt regardless of dynasty. Cannot adopt rulers or their descendants
Ruler: Can adopt regardless of dynasty, even rulers and their descendants

Restriction on the Adoptee:
Children: Must be a child at least 15 years younger
Children and Young Adults: Must be at least 15 years younger
Children and Adults: Must be younger


Cultural Traditions:
African Fosterage: Available to most Sub-Saharan Africa cultures. It gives benefits to adoption and guardianship in addition to legitimizing adoption and making it more common
Ritual Succession: Available to Han, Malvi, and Rajasthani, plus cultures with mystical ancestors. It gives the benefits of the Mystical Ancestors Tradition in addition to legitimizing adoption
Roman Legacy: Available to Greek and Roman descended cultures. It gives the benefits of the Eastern Roman Legacy Tradition in addition to legitimizing adoption
Protective Adoption: Available to Turkic and Mongol heritage cultures. It gives prestige for adopting as well as reducing enemy hostile scheme success chance against adopted characters.
Amharic Highlanders: Same as in base game Ethiopian Tradition, except it also enables adoption.
Noble Adoptions: Available to all cultures. It gives the effects of the Common Noble Child and Young Adult Adoption doctrines

Shared Fertility: Enables a couple to get help conceiving using a courtier as surrogate or donor. Also enables same-sex marriage if same-sex relations are enabled. Available to all cultures, though only the Igbo have it without player intervention.

If a character's faith and culture both enable adoption, then they are affected by the least restrictive rules in each category.


Game Rules:
There is a game rule for enabling your starting faith to have various levels of adoption enabled on game start.

This is also a game rule that has various faiths and cultures start with a level of adoption that they had historically (this is on by default). Akom, Hellenist, Hindu, Orisha, Siguism, Taoist, Zoroastrian, and Zunnist faiths get increased level of adoptions. The Akan, East Bantu, Ethiopian, Ewe, Greek, Guan, Gur, Han, Igbo, Karluk, Kipchak, Kirghiz, Malinke, Malvi, Mongol, Rajasthani, Roman, Serer, Uriankhai, and Yoruba cultures get one of the above traditions. Islamic, Jewish, and Yazidi faiths get reduced levels of adoption (Druze cannot adopt).

Note, Igbo is the only culture to start with two new traditions: African Fosterage and Shared Fertility

Finally there are game rules that enable orphans from the orphanage to be created using the genetic of the adopters and to enable bloodline dependant traits to be passed down via adoption.


Other Features:
Same-sex couples now enter into primolineal and ultimolineal marriages (older and younger partner dominant marriages). This is used to determine whose house the adopted children will be under.

The adoption iteration interface that allows you to use hooks, bribes, and alliance offers when adopting. You can also now choose which spouse you are adopting with if polygamous.

When visiting an orphanage you have control over which orphanage you visit and thus sex, faith, and culture of the orphans you are presented with. For orphanages outside your capital, you travel their using the travel mechanics introduce with T&T.

You can disinherit lowborns adopted children for no renown (and no prestige/general opinion penalty if they are also your child and not an adult).
