docs(milestones): add council, religion, caste, and innovation systems
Expand milestone docs with several major new systems: M3: Religion overhaul — 12 custom tenets (3 per faith), 2 custom doctrine groups (Allomantic Stance, Caste Doctrine), expanded holy sites (~10, differentiated by faith, with conditional sites), tradition condition fixes, dead parameter cleanup. New task 3.11: Steel Inquisitor holy order + individual Inquisitor request mechanic, Keeper Network secret society with progression and discovery risk. M4: Council retheme (5 positions with 10 custom tasks), 7 court positions (Royal Court), legend system suppression, caste law system (3 tiers: Strict/Relaxed/Abolished with cross-caste consequence events), innovation system (Age of the Lord Ruler pre-unlocked + Age of Liberation locked behind lord_ruler_fallen flag). M5: Band council with 7 crew roles, vacancy penalties, ~14 role events, and 5 band tasks. Each crew member's Allomantic ability enhances their assigned role. M7: Advanced council interactions (~25 events) — kandra courtier replacement, Court Smoker vs Seeker duels, Obligator Witness betrayal, Terris Steward Keeper reveal. Post-endgame choice: seize the throne or release the kingdoms. Variable standardized to lord_ruler_fallen across all docs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

### 3.8 -- Polish Religions: Custom Tenets, Doctrines, and Holy Sites
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:** The four religions need additional depth to feel like living faiths.
|
||||
Steel Ministry needs the Lord Ruler as head (done in 3.2). Terris Keepers need
|
||||
"secret faith" mechanics. Survivorism needs rebellion bonuses. Cult of Ruin
|
||||
needs Hemalurgy bonuses.
|
||||
**Context:** The four religions need deep mechanical identity to feel like living
|
||||
faiths, not just reskinned vanilla. This means custom tenets (replacing vanilla
|
||||
placeholders), custom doctrine categories unique to Scadrial, faith-
|
||||
differentiated holy sites, and faith-specific modifiers. Steel Ministry needs
|
||||
the Lord Ruler as head (done in 3.2). Terris Keepers need "secret faith"
|
||||
mechanics. Survivorism needs rebellion bonuses. Cult of Ruin needs Hemalurgy
|
||||
bonuses.
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Terris Worldbringers -- Secret Knowledge mechanics.** In the
|
||||
`terris_worldbringers` faith definition, add doctrines that support hidden
|
||||
faith:
|
||||
- Change `doctrine = tenet_pacifism` to keep (Keepers are peaceful).
|
||||
- Consider adding `doctrine = tenet_pursuit_of_power` if secret societies are
|
||||
not feasible. Alternatively, mark Terris as a `can_convert_to_unreformed`
|
||||
faith to make it underground.
|
||||
1. **Create custom tenets.** In `common/religion/doctrines/` (new directory),
|
||||
define ~12 custom tenets that replace vanilla placeholders. Each tenet has a
|
||||
`character_modifier` block and unlocks specific decisions or events:
|
||||
|
||||
**Steel Ministry tenets:**
|
||||
- `tenet_obligator_hierarchy` — Replaces `tenet_tax_nonbelievers`. Bonus:
|
||||
+0.3 monthly piety, +5% tax income from non-believers, +5 same-faith
|
||||
opinion. Unlocks: "Demand Obligator Tithe" decision.
|
||||
- `tenet_allomantic_oversight` — Replaces `tenet_religious_law`. Bonus:
|
||||
+2 learning for clergy, +10% scheme discovery chance. Allows Ministry
|
||||
Preceptor council task (M4) to detect hidden Allomancers in court.
|
||||
- `tenet_imperial_mandate` — New. Bonus: +0.2 monthly prestige for
|
||||
Steel Ministry rulers, +10 vassal opinion if Lord Ruler attention < 25.
|
||||
Penalty: -10 vassal opinion if Lord Ruler attention > 75 (the mandate
|
||||
feels oppressive).
|
||||
|
||||
**Terris Worldbringers tenets:**
|
||||
- `tenet_keepers_vow` — Replaces `tenet_pacifism`. Bonus: +3 learning,
|
||||
-2 martial (Keepers are scholars, not warriors). Unlocks: "Store Knowledge
|
||||
in Coppermind" decision. Characters with this tenet can access coppermind
|
||||
artifact events (M3.10, M7.10).
|
||||
- `tenet_metalmic_preservation` — Replaces `tenet_monasticism`. Bonus:
|
||||
+0.15 development growth in holy sites, +1 stewardship. Feruchemist
|
||||
characters gain +1 additional learning. Represents preserving pre-
|
||||
Ascension knowledge and culture.
|
||||
- `tenet_worldbringer_mission` — Replaces `tenet_ancestor_worship`. Bonus:
|
||||
+0.1 cultural acceptance gain, +5 different-faith opinion. Keepers aim to
|
||||
preserve ALL knowledge, including other faiths. Unlocks: "Share Preserved
|
||||
Knowledge" interaction (teach another character about a lost religion).
|
||||
|
||||
**Survivorist tenets:**
|
||||
- `tenet_kelsiers_sacrifice` — Replaces `tenet_liberation_theology`. Bonus:
|
||||
+15 same-faith opinion, +0.1 hostile scheme power, monthly county control
|
||||
growth -0.1 (undermines authority). Conditional: if `kelsier_martyred`
|
||||
global flag is set, bonuses double. Represents the power of martyrdom.
|
||||
- `tenet_hope_in_ash` — Replaces `tenet_communal_identity`. Bonus:
|
||||
+0.2 stress loss, +5 attraction opinion, +0.1 monthly prestige. Represents
|
||||
the belief that things can change, that flowers can grow in ash.
|
||||
- `tenet_underground_network` — Replaces `tenet_mendicants`. Bonus:
|
||||
+15% hostile scheme resistance, +10% personal scheme power. Skaa
|
||||
characters gain +2 intrigue. Represents the skaa underground's secrecy.
|
||||
|
||||
**Cult of Ruin tenets:**
|
||||
- `tenet_hemalurgic_rites` — Replaces `tenet_human_sacrifice`. Bonus:
|
||||
+10 dread baseline, +2 prowess, -2 diplomacy. Characters who sacrifice
|
||||
prisoners via decision gain a hemalurgic spike trait. Far darker than
|
||||
vanilla human sacrifice.
|
||||
- `tenet_embrace_destruction` — Replaces `tenet_ritual_cannibalism`. Bonus:
|
||||
stress gain -0.15, monthly piety +0.1, health -0.25 (destruction consumes
|
||||
the faithful too). Unlocks: "Commune with Ruin" decision (intrigue event,
|
||||
gain information at cost of health).
|
||||
- `tenet_ruins_whispers` — Replaces `tenet_struggle_and_submission`. Bonus:
|
||||
+3 intrigue, +15% scheme power. Characters occasionally receive "Ruin's
|
||||
Guidance" events (random intrigue/martial bonuses with sanity cost via
|
||||
stress). Represents Ruin's influence whispering to followers.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Create custom doctrine categories.** In the same doctrine directory, define
|
||||
2 custom doctrine groups unique to Scadrial:
|
||||
|
||||
**Doctrine group: "Allomantic Stance"** (`doctrine_allomantic_stance`)
|
||||
- `doctrine_allomancy_divine` — Allomancy is a gift from Preservation. Bonus:
|
||||
+10 opinion of Allomancers, Misting/Mistborn characters gain +0.1 monthly
|
||||
piety. Used by: Survivorism, Terris Worldbringers.
|
||||
- `doctrine_allomancy_controlled` — Allomancy must be registered and
|
||||
regulated. Bonus: Ministry Preceptor gains +2 effectiveness at detecting
|
||||
hidden Allomancers. Allomancers who hide their abilities face heresy
|
||||
charges. Used by: Steel Ministry.
|
||||
- `doctrine_allomancy_forbidden` — Allomancy (except Hemalurgy) is
|
||||
abomination. Bonus: +5 dread when executing Allomancers, piety +20 for
|
||||
each Allomancer killed. Used by: Cult of Ruin.
|
||||
|
||||
**Doctrine group: "Caste Doctrine"** (`doctrine_caste_stance`)
|
||||
- `doctrine_caste_divine_order` — The noble/skaa divide is ordained by the
|
||||
Lord Ruler. Intermarriage is heresy. Bonus: +5 same-culture opinion (within
|
||||
your caste), -20 opinion of different-caste characters. Used by: Steel
|
||||
Ministry.
|
||||
- `doctrine_caste_irrelevant` — All people are equal before Preservation.
|
||||
Bonus: +10 opinion with skaa characters, +5 different-culture opinion.
|
||||
Used by: Survivorism, Terris Worldbringers.
|
||||
- `doctrine_caste_tool` — Castes are tools for control — use them or
|
||||
discard them as needed. Bonus: no opinion penalties for cross-caste
|
||||
interaction, +5 intrigue. Used by: Cult of Ruin.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Expand and differentiate holy sites.** Update
|
||||
`common/religion/holy_sites/00_holy_sites.txt` to increase from 5 to ~10
|
||||
sites, differentiated by faith. Some sites are shared, some are exclusive:
|
||||
|
||||
**Existing (updated):**
|
||||
| Holy Site | Primary Faith(s) | Notes |
|
||||
|-----------|-----------------|-------|
|
||||
| Kredik Shaw | Steel Ministry, Cult of Ruin | Lord Ruler's seat of power. Ruin worshippers see it as the prison of Ruin's power |
|
||||
| Pits of Hathsin | Steel Ministry, Cult of Ruin | Atium source — both faiths covet it |
|
||||
| Conventical of Seran | Steel Ministry | Obligator research center |
|
||||
| Tathingdwen | Terris Worldbringers | Terris capital, Keeper archives |
|
||||
| Urteau | Survivorism | Northern skaa population center, rebellion base |
|
||||
|
||||
**New sites to add:**
|
||||
| Holy Site | County/Barony | Primary Faith(s) | Modifiers | Lore |
|
||||
|-----------|---------------|-----------------|-----------|------|
|
||||
| Terris Homeland Peaks | c_terris_peaks / b_terris_shrine | Terris Worldbringers | +2 learning, +0.5 piety | Sacred mountains where Keepers hid copperminds |
|
||||
| The Arguois Caverns | c_arguois / b_arguois_caves | Survivorism | +0.3 prestige, +1 intrigue | Underground skaa meeting place, rebel hideout |
|
||||
| Ruin's Deposit | c_ruin_deposit / b_ruin_well | Cult of Ruin | +1 prowess, +5 dread | A place where Ruin's influence bleeds through, hemalurgic rituals performed |
|
||||
| **Kelsier's Pyre** | c_luthadel / b_execution_square | Survivorism (conditional) | +20 same-faith opinion, +0.5 monthly prestige | **Only activates after `kelsier_martyred` flag is set.** The site where Kelsier died becomes sacred |
|
||||
| **The Well of Ascension** | c_luthadel / b_well_of_ascension | Terris Worldbringers (conditional) | +3 learning, +1 piety | **Only activates after Fall of Kredik Shaw endgame (M7).** The Well is discovered beneath Kredik Shaw |
|
||||
|
||||
This gives each faith 3-4 holy sites:
|
||||
- Steel Ministry: Kredik Shaw, Pits of Hathsin, Conventical of Seran (~3)
|
||||
- Terris Worldbringers: Tathingdwen, Terris Homeland Peaks, Well of
|
||||
Ascension (conditional) (~2-3)
|
||||
- Survivorism: Urteau, Arguois Caverns, Kelsier's Pyre (conditional) (~2-3)
|
||||
- Cult of Ruin: Kredik Shaw, Pits of Hathsin, Ruin's Deposit (~3)
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Terris Worldbringers -- Secret faith mechanics.** In the
|
||||
`terris_worldbringers` faith definition:
|
||||
- The mechanical goal: Terris characters should be able to hide their faith
|
||||
from the Steel Ministry. CK3's secret faith mechanic works when a faith has
|
||||
the `is_unreformed` flag or when characters manually set a secret faith. If
|
||||
CK3 1.18 supports `doctrine_is_secret` or similar, use that. Otherwise, add
|
||||
a custom decision "Practice Feruchemy in Secret" that sets a character flag
|
||||
and provides bonuses while hiding the religion.
|
||||
- The `tenet_keepers_vow` (step 1) synergizes with this: Keepers who
|
||||
practice secretly gain the tenet bonuses but risk discovery.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Survivorism -- Rebellion bonuses.** In the `survivorism` faith definition:
|
||||
- Keep existing tenets (liberation theology, communal identity, mendicant
|
||||
preachers).
|
||||
- Add a scripted modifier or faith bonus that grants:
|
||||
5. **Survivorism -- Rebellion bonuses.** In the `survivorism` faith definition:
|
||||
- Apply `survivorism_faith_modifier` at game start to Survivorist characters:
|
||||
- `monthly_county_control_growth_add = -0.1` (undermines control)
|
||||
- `hostile_scheme_power_mult = 0.1` (good at subterfuge)
|
||||
- `same_faith_opinion = 20` (strong in-group loyalty)
|
||||
- These can be applied via a custom modifier `survivorism_faith_modifier`
|
||||
in `common/modifiers/00_mistborn_modifiers.txt` and applied at game start
|
||||
to Survivorist characters.
|
||||
- These are now reinforced by the `tenet_kelsiers_sacrifice` and
|
||||
`tenet_underground_network` tenets from step 1.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Cult of Ruin -- Hemalurgy bonuses.** In the `cult_of_ruin` faith:
|
||||
- Keep existing tenets (human sacrifice, ritual cannibalism, struggle
|
||||
submission).
|
||||
- Add a custom modifier `cult_of_ruin_faith_modifier`:
|
||||
6. **Cult of Ruin -- Hemalurgy bonuses.** In the `cult_of_ruin` faith:
|
||||
- Apply `cult_of_ruin_faith_modifier` at game start:
|
||||
- `dread_baseline_add = 10`
|
||||
- `prowess = 2`
|
||||
- `diplomacy = -2`
|
||||
- `stress_gain_mult = -0.1` (they embrace destruction)
|
||||
- Cult of Ruin followers should automatically know Hemalurgy: add a game-start
|
||||
on_action that grants `trait_knows_hemalurgy` to all Cult of Ruin characters.
|
||||
- Cult of Ruin followers should automatically know Hemalurgy: add a
|
||||
game-start on_action that grants `trait_knows_hemalurgy` to all Cult of
|
||||
Ruin characters.
|
||||
- Reinforced by `tenet_hemalurgic_rites` and `tenet_embrace_destruction`.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Steel Ministry -- Obligator hierarchy.** The Steel Ministry is now headed by
|
||||
the Lord Ruler (done in 3.2). Additional polish:
|
||||
- Add a custom `steel_ministry_faith_modifier`:
|
||||
7. **Steel Ministry -- Obligator hierarchy.** The Steel Ministry is now headed
|
||||
by the Lord Ruler (done in 3.2). Additional polish:
|
||||
- Apply `steel_ministry_faith_modifier`:
|
||||
- `monthly_piety = 0.2`
|
||||
- `same_faith_opinion = 5`
|
||||
- Consider adding `doctrine = tenet_tax_nonbelievers` (already present) and
|
||||
ensure it functions correctly.
|
||||
- The `tenet_obligator_hierarchy` and `tenet_imperial_mandate` reinforce
|
||||
the mechanical identity of the Ministry as a state religion.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Add all new modifier definitions to
|
||||
`common/modifiers/00_mistborn_modifiers.txt` and localization to
|
||||
`localization/english/mistborn_modifiers_l_english.yml`.
|
||||
8. **Wire dead tradition parameters.** The culture traditions
|
||||
(`tradition_allomantic_heritage`, `tradition_noble_intrigue`,
|
||||
`tradition_skaa_resilience`, `tradition_terris_scholarship`) define custom
|
||||
parameters (`allomantic_potential_bonus`, etc.) that are never referenced.
|
||||
Either:
|
||||
- (a) Wire them into scripted triggers so events/decisions can check
|
||||
`has_cultural_tradition_parameter = allomantic_potential_bonus`, or
|
||||
- (b) Remove the dead parameters and rely on the `character_modifier` stat
|
||||
blocks which already work.
|
||||
Option (b) is recommended unless a specific mechanic needs the parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Add localization for any new doctrine descriptions or faith-specific text to
|
||||
`localization/english/mistborn_religions_l_english.yml`.
|
||||
9. **Fix tradition conditions.** The `is_valid` blocks on traditions use
|
||||
`has_cultural_pillar = heritage_scadrial` which is shared by all 3 cultures.
|
||||
This means any culture could adopt any tradition. Fix:
|
||||
- `tradition_allomantic_heritage`: keep as heritage_scadrial (available to
|
||||
all — Allomancy crosses caste lines)
|
||||
- `tradition_noble_intrigue`: restrict to `has_culture = culture:noble_scadrian`
|
||||
- `tradition_skaa_resilience`: restrict to `has_culture = culture:skaa`
|
||||
- `tradition_terris_scholarship`: restrict to `has_culture = culture:terris`
|
||||
|
||||
10. Add all new tenet, doctrine, modifier, and holy site definitions to their
|
||||
respective files. Add localization for:
|
||||
- 12 custom tenet names + descriptions (~48 keys)
|
||||
- 6 custom doctrine options + descriptions (~24 keys)
|
||||
- 2 doctrine group names + descriptions (~8 keys)
|
||||
- 5 new holy site names + descriptions (~10 keys)
|
||||
- Faith-specific modifier names (~8 keys)
|
||||
- Total: ~100 new localization keys
|
||||
|
||||

### 3.11 -- Holy Orders: Steel Inquisitors and Keeper Network
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:** The Steel Inquisitors are the militant arm of the Steel Ministry —
|
||||
terrifying individuals with hemalurgic spikes driven through their eyes. They
|
||||
hunt heretics, interrogate prisoners, and enforce the Lord Ruler's will. In CK3
|
||||
terms, they are a holy order — but they function as individual super-powered
|
||||
agents, not a conventional army. Separately, the Terris Keepers operate as a
|
||||
secret counter-network, preserving forbidden knowledge underground. This task
|
||||
creates both as religious orders with distinct mechanics.
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create the Steel Inquisitor Holy Order.** In
|
||||
`common/holy_orders/00_mistborn_holy_orders.txt` (new directory/file), define
|
||||
the Inquisitor order:
|
||||
```
|
||||
holy_order_steel_inquisitors = {
|
||||
religion = steel_ministry_religion
|
||||
# ... order definition
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
The order is available for hire by Steel Ministry rulers (piety cost).
|
||||
Mechanically, hiring the order provides a small but devastatingly powerful
|
||||
MaA regiment of Inquisitors (~50-100 soldiers with extreme stats, reflecting
|
||||
that a single Inquisitor is worth hundreds of normal fighters).
|
||||
|
||||
Order properties:
|
||||
- **Hire cost:** 500 piety
|
||||
- **Maintenance:** 2.0 gold/month (the Ministry demands resources)
|
||||
- **MaA type:** `inquisitor_squad` — 100 soldiers, damage 150, toughness
|
||||
80, pursuit 40. Counters: Mistborn Agents, Hazekillers. This represents a
|
||||
small squad with Inquisitors at the lead.
|
||||
- **Leader:** The order's leader should be one of the M3 Steel Inquisitor
|
||||
characters. The order fires events when hired (Inquisitor arrives at court,
|
||||
terror among courtiers).
|
||||
- **Hire trigger:** `faith = faith:steel_ministry`, `piety >= 500`
|
||||
- **Dismiss trigger:** always available but costs -100 piety (dismissing the
|
||||
Lord Ruler's enforcers is seen as impiety)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Create the individual Inquisitor request mechanic.** Beyond the holy order
|
||||
(military), Steel Ministry rulers can "Request an Inquisitor" via decision:
|
||||
```
|
||||
request_inquisitor_decision = {
|
||||
is_shown = {
|
||||
faith = faith:steel_ministry
|
||||
is_ruler = yes
|
||||
highest_held_title_tier >= tier_county
|
||||
}
|
||||
cost = { piety = 200 }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
On taking the decision, an event fires:
|
||||
- `mistborn_inquisitor.0001` — An Inquisitor arrives at your court. A
|
||||
special character is generated with `trait_hemalurgist`, multiple spike
|
||||
traits, and the `steel_inquisitor_power` modifier.
|
||||
- The Inquisitor becomes a courtier with unique interactions:
|
||||
- **Investigate Heresy** — Target a courtier or vassal. Intrigue check.
|
||||
Success: reveals hidden faith, hidden Allomantic traits, or secrets.
|
||||
Failure: target is terrorized (stress +20) but nothing found.
|
||||
- **Hunt Allomancers** — Target a province. Works like the Hazemaster
|
||||
council task but more effective (+30% detection). Discovered Allomancers
|
||||
are captured, not given recruitment option.
|
||||
- **Interrogate Prisoner** — Target a prisoner. Brutal intrigue check.
|
||||
Success: learn all secrets, gain confession (can be used as hook).
|
||||
Side effect: prisoner gains `tortured` trait, opinion of you -30 with
|
||||
compassionate characters.
|
||||
- The Inquisitor is NOT loyal to you — they serve the Lord Ruler. Yearly
|
||||
event (15% chance): the Inquisitor reports your activities to the Canton.
|
||||
Lord Ruler attention +5. This creates tension: Inquisitors are powerful
|
||||
but dangerous to keep around.
|
||||
- Cooldown: 3 years between requests (flag-based).
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Create the Keeper Network (secret religious order).** The Terris Keepers
|
||||
are not a military force — they're a clandestine network that preserves
|
||||
forbidden knowledge. Implement as a "secret society" equivalent:
|
||||
```
|
||||
keeper_network = {
|
||||
religion = terris_religion
|
||||
# Secret order, not visible to non-members
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
The Keeper Network functions differently from the Inquisitor order:
|
||||
- **Joining:** Terris Worldbringer characters with learning >= 12 can take
|
||||
a decision "Seek the Keepers" to join. If accepted (event chain with
|
||||
tests), they gain the `keeper_initiate` flag and access to Keeper events.
|
||||
- **Progression:** Keeper initiates can advance to full Keepers via events
|
||||
(requires: learning >= 15, Feruchemist trait preferred, 2+ years as
|
||||
initiate). Full Keepers gain `keeper_identity` flag and access to:
|
||||
- Coppermind sharing events (exchange knowledge with other Keepers)
|
||||
- "Teach Forbidden History" interaction (target: any character, grants
|
||||
learning +1, risk of Ministry detection)
|
||||
- Access to hidden Keeper archive holy site events
|
||||
- **Network bonuses:** For each Keeper in your realm, gain:
|
||||
- +0.5 learning (court-level modifier)
|
||||
- +5% cultural acceptance gain
|
||||
- The Keeper network passively preserves knowledge: post-rebellion,
|
||||
unlocked Keepers accelerate the innovation unlock (M4/M7 tie-in)
|
||||
- **Risk:** The Steel Ministry actively hunts Keepers. Yearly event per
|
||||
Keeper character (10% chance): Ministry investigation. If the Keeper is
|
||||
discovered:
|
||||
- The Keeper is arrested (becomes prisoner of nearest Steel Ministry ruler)
|
||||
- The lord sheltering them gains Lord Ruler attention +10
|
||||
- If the lord IS a Steel Ministry ruler, they must choose: hand over the
|
||||
Keeper (piety +30) or protect them (attention +15, piety -50)
|
||||
- **Interaction with Terris Steward court position (M4):** If your Terris
|
||||
Steward is a Keeper, they gain enhanced bonuses but increased discovery
|
||||
risk. This ties into M7's Terris Steward reveal events.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Create Inquisitor vs Keeper tension events.** When an Inquisitor and a
|
||||
Keeper are in the same court (or the Inquisitor is investigating a court
|
||||
with a hidden Keeper):
|
||||
- `mistborn_inquisitor.0010` — The Inquisitor senses something wrong. If
|
||||
a Keeper is present: heightened detection chance (25% instead of 10%).
|
||||
Event text describes the Inquisitor's bronze Allomancy probing.
|
||||
- `mistborn_inquisitor.0011` — If the Keeper has a Court Smoker ally (M4
|
||||
court position), the Smoker can shield the Keeper. Intrigue contest
|
||||
between Inquisitor and Smoker. Ties into M7 advanced council events.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Localization.** Add entries for:
|
||||
- Holy order name, description, hire/dismiss text (~10 keys)
|
||||
- Inquisitor request decision + events (~25 keys)
|
||||

### 4.8 -- Full Testing Pass and Error Cleanup
|
||||
### 4.8 -- Council Positions, Court Roles, and Court Types
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:** Vanilla CK3's council positions (Chancellor, Marshal, Steward,
|
||||
Spymaster, Court Chaplain) and Royal Court court positions use medieval European
|
||||
framing. For a total conversion, every role must be rethemed and given custom
|
||||
tasks that interact with Mistborn systems (Lord Ruler attention, metal supply,
|
||||
Allomantic traits, skaa unrest). Court positions (Royal Court DLC) provide
|
||||
additional slots for Mistborn-specific advisors.
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Retheme the 5 council positions.** Create
|
||||
`common/council_positions/00_mistborn_council.txt` (or override vanilla via
|
||||
empty replacement + new definitions). Each position gets a new name, custom
|
||||
icon reference (placeholder until M8), and 2 custom council tasks alongside
|
||||
rethemed vanilla tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
| Vanilla Role | Mistborn Role | Lore Basis |
|
||||
|-----------------|------------------------|------------|
|
||||
| Chancellor | **Obligator Liaison** | Noble houses conduct diplomacy through obligators who witness contracts and mediate disputes |
|
||||
| Marshal | **Hazemaster** | Military commander who coordinates Hazekillers and conventional forces against Allomantic threats |
|
||||
| Steward | **House Comptroller** | Manages house finances, plantation output, and atium reserves |
|
||||
| Spymaster | **House Informant** | Runs the house's spy network — informants among the skaa, agents in rival courts |
|
||||
| Court Chaplain | **Ministry Preceptor** | The Steel Ministry's representative in the noble house; enforces orthodoxy and reports to the Canton |
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Create custom council tasks.** In `common/council_tasks/` (new directory),
|
||||
define 2 custom tasks per position (10 total). Each task is a scripted effect
|
||||
that fires monthly and interacts with mod systems:
|
||||
|
||||
**Obligator Liaison (Chancellor replacement):**
|
||||
- `council_task_canton_diplomacy` — Improve relations with the Steel Ministry.
|
||||
Monthly: +0.1 piety, small chance of Lord Ruler attention reduction (-2).
|
||||
Requires: councillor has `learning >= 8`. Rethemes "Improve Relations."
|
||||
- `council_task_suppress_unrest` — Dispatch obligators to calm skaa
|
||||
populations. Monthly: +0.5 county control in assigned province. If province
|
||||
has `ash_blight` modifier, effectiveness halved. Chance of discovering skaa
|
||||
allomancers (triggers `mistborn_skaa_allomancer` event if province has skaa
|
||||
population flag).
|
||||
|
||||
**Hazemaster (Marshal replacement):**
|
||||
- `council_task_hunt_allomancers` — Search for hidden skaa Mistings in the
|
||||
assigned province. Monthly check: councillor martial × 2% chance of
|
||||
discovering a hidden Allomancer. On success, fire event with options: capture
|
||||
(gain prisoner), kill (gain dread), recruit (gain courtier with Misting
|
||||
trait). Lord Ruler attention +3 if recruit option chosen.
|
||||
- `council_task_train_hazekillers` — Improve anti-Allomancer military
|
||||
readiness. After 12 months of continuous training, grants province modifier
|
||||
`hazekiller_training_ground` (+15% hazekiller MaA damage, +5% toughness).
|
||||
Stacks with existing Hazekiller MaA bonuses from M2.
|
||||
|
||||
**House Comptroller (Steward replacement):**
|
||||
- `council_task_manage_atium` — Interact with the atium supply system (M2).
|
||||
Monthly: if province holds atium source, +5% atium income efficiency. If
|
||||
metal supply is "depleted," chance of discovering a hidden cache (triggers
|
||||
`mistborn_atium` event). Councillor stewardship adds to check.
|
||||
- `council_task_oversee_plantations` — Maximize skaa labor output. Monthly:
|
||||
+0.3 gold income in assigned province. Annual event check: 15% chance of
|
||||
skaa unrest event (work conditions trigger rebellion sentiment). Trade-off:
|
||||
gold vs. stability.
|
||||
|
||||
**House Informant (Spymaster replacement):**
|
||||
- `council_task_monitor_underground` — Surveillance of skaa communities in
|
||||
the assigned province. Monthly check: councillor intrigue × 1.5% chance of
|
||||
discovering rebel cells. On success: fire event with options — arrest leaders
|
||||
(control +5, attention +2), infiltrate (gain scheme power vs. rebels),
|
||||
ignore (attention -1, risk grows). Allomantic Seeker councillor gets +20%
|
||||
detection bonus.
|
||||
- `council_task_deploy_smoker_network` — Establish a coppercloud over your
|
||||
own court's activities. While active: -20% hostile scheme power against your
|
||||
court. If councillor has `trait_misting_smoker` or `trait_mistborn`:
|
||||
bonus increases to -35%. Lord Ruler attention decay +1/year while active
|
||||
(your activities are hidden).
|
||||
|
||||
**Ministry Preceptor (Court Chaplain replacement):**
|
||||
- `council_task_inspect_bloodlines` — Investigate courtiers and vassals for
|
||||
Allomantic potential. Monthly check: councillor learning × 1% chance per
|
||||
courtier of revealing hidden `trait_allomantic_potential`. On discovery,
|
||||
event fires with options: report to Ministry (piety +20, attention -5),
|
||||
keep secret (intrigue +1, attention +3 if discovered later), recruit for
|
||||
house (courtier gains snapping event queue).
|
||||
- `council_task_root_out_heresy` — Suppress non-orthodox faiths (Terris
|
||||
Keepers, Survivorists, Cult of Ruin). Monthly: +0.3 piety. If province
|
||||
contains characters of non-Steel Ministry faith, 10% monthly chance of
|
||||
triggering persecution event. Success: convert character, piety +15.
|
||||
Failure: character flees, heresy spreads to adjacent province.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Retheme vanilla council tasks.** The vanilla tasks that remain should have
|
||||
Mistborn-appropriate names and tooltips:
|
||||
- "Fabricate Claim" → "File Canton Petition" (same mechanics, new flavor)
|
||||
- "Increase Control" → "Pacify Dominance"
|
||||
- "Collect Taxes" → "Extract Plantation Revenue"
|
||||
- "Find Secrets" → "Infiltrate Rival House"
|
||||
- "Convert Faith" → "Enforce Steel Ministry Orthodoxy"
|
||||
Localization overrides in
|
||||
`localization/english/mistborn_council_l_english.yml`.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Define custom court positions.** In
|
||||
`common/court_positions/00_mistborn_court_positions.txt`, create 7
|
||||
Mistborn-specific court positions (Royal Court DLC). Each has a salary, stat
|
||||
requirements, and passive bonuses:
|
||||
|
||||
| Court Position | Stat Requirement | Passive Bonus | Special Effect |
|
||||
|------------------------|---------------------------|---------------|----------------|
|
||||
| **Terris Steward** | stewardship >= 8 | +2 stewardship, +1 learning | If character is Feruchemist: +1 additional learning, coppermind event access |
|
||||
| **Kandra Agent** | intrigue >= 10, has kandra trait or flag | +3 intrigue, +10 scheme power | Unlocks "Replace a Courtier" interaction (M7). Requires kandra contract (M3 kandra trait) |
|
||||
| **Allomantic Advisor** | has any Allomantic trait | +2 to stat matching metal type (Coinshot→martial, Soother→diplomacy, etc.) | Allomantic-themed court events. If Mistborn: +1 to all stats |
|
||||
| **Hazekiller Captain** | prowess >= 12, martial >= 8 | +3 prowess, +5 dread | -15% hostile scheme success against liege. Anti-Allomancer security events |
|
||||
| **Obligator Witness** | piety >= 100, Steel Ministry faith | +0.2 monthly piety | -3 Lord Ruler attention/year (Ministry presence = compliance). Trigger: reports unusual activity to Canton (event) |
|
||||
| **Court Smoker** | has `trait_misting_smoker` or `trait_mistborn` | -25% hostile scheme power in court | Coppercloud over court: enemy Seekers cannot detect your Allomancers. Hides trait information from visitors |
|
||||
| **Master of Revels** | diplomacy >= 10 | +2 diplomacy, +0.1 monthly prestige | Noble Ball activity bonuses (+10% guest acceptance). Ball events are richer when this position is filled |
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Suppress vanilla court positions that don't fit.** Create empty replacement
|
||||
files for court positions that are too medieval (e.g., Court Jester, Court
|
||||
Poet if they break immersion). Keep positions that are culture-neutral
|
||||
(Bodyguard → retheme as "Personal Hazekiller," Court Physician → retheme as
|
||||
"House Healer"). Localization overrides for rethemed positions.
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Localization.** Create `localization/english/mistborn_council_l_english.yml`
|
||||

|
||||

### 4.9 -- Caste Laws and Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:** The noble/skaa divide is the central tension of the Final Empire.
|
||||
Nobles rule, skaa are property. Cross-caste relationships happen (Vin's
|
||||
backstory) but carry severe consequences — half-skaa children are supposed to
|
||||
be killed. This needs both structural enforcement (laws that gate what skaa
|
||||
can do) and personal drama (events when the rules are broken). Post-rebellion,
|
||||
these laws can be repealed, tying into the innovation/era unlock system (4.10).
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Define Caste Laws.** In `common/laws/00_mistborn_laws.txt` (new directory/
|
||||
file), create a "Caste Law" law group with 3 tiers:
|
||||
|
||||
**`caste_law_strict`** (default under the Lord Ruler):
|
||||
- Skaa characters cannot hold titles above barony tier
|
||||
- Skaa characters cannot be appointed to council positions
|
||||
- Cross-caste marriage is forbidden (AI will not propose, player gets a
|
||||
confirmation warning + consequences)
|
||||
- Skaa characters have -20 opinion with noble rulers
|
||||
- Noble characters get +0.1 monthly prestige (caste privilege)
|
||||
- Modifier: `strict_caste_law_modifier`
|
||||
|
||||
**`caste_law_relaxed`** (available post-rebellion or with high autonomy):
|
||||
- Skaa can hold titles up to county tier
|
||||
- Skaa can be appointed to some council positions (not Ministry Preceptor)
|
||||
- Cross-caste marriage is permitted but carries -10 opinion with
|
||||
traditional nobles
|
||||
- Modifier: `relaxed_caste_law_modifier`
|
||||
|
||||
**`caste_law_abolished`** (available only post-Lord Ruler fall):
|
||||
- No restrictions based on culture/caste
|
||||
- All opinion penalties from caste removed
|
||||
- Unlocks "Integrate Skaa Nobility" decision
|
||||
- Modifier: `caste_abolished_modifier` (+10 popular opinion, -10 opinion
|
||||
with traditional noble vassals for 20 years)
|
||||
|
||||
The law group should use:
|
||||
```
|
||||
caste_laws = {
|
||||
default = caste_law_strict
|
||||
flag = caste_law
|
||||
# Can only change if conditions are met
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Create cross-caste consequence events.** In `events/caste_events.txt`

discovery). Options: deny (intrigue check), confess and beg Ministry
|
||||
forgiveness (piety -50, attention +5), eliminate the skaa lover (dread +10,

### 4.10 -- Cultural Innovations: Imperial Stagnation and Post-Rebellion Era
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:** CK3's innovation system represents technological and cultural
|
||||
advancement. In the Final Empire, the Lord Ruler enforces 1,000 years of
|
||||
stagnation — progress is forbidden. The innovation system should reflect this:
|
||||
everything is locked during the Lord Ruler's reign, and a new era of discovery
|
||||
opens only after his fall. This creates a powerful mechanical contrast between
|
||||
the suffocating status quo and the explosive potential of liberation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Define the "Imperial Stagnation" era.** In `common/culture/innovations/`
|
||||
(new directory), create a custom era system. CK3 innovations are grouped by
|
||||
eras (Tribal, Early Medieval, etc.). For Scadrial:
|
||||
|
||||
**Era 1: "Age of the Lord Ruler" (active at game start)**
|
||||
All innovations in this era are **pre-unlocked** at game start. They
|
||||
represent the technological ceiling the Lord Ruler permits:
|
||||
- `innovation_plantation_agriculture` — Skaa farming techniques. Grants:
|
||||
basic building slots, food production.
|
||||
- `innovation_ashland_engineering` — Building in ash-covered terrain.
|
||||
Grants: ash-resistant buildings, canal construction.
|
||||
- `innovation_allomantic_metallurgy` — Basic metal refining for Allomancy.
|
||||
Grants: metal vial crafting (M3 artifacts), allomantic training.
|
||||
- `innovation_hazekiller_tactics` — Anti-Allomancer military techniques.
|
||||
Grants: Hazekiller MaA upgrades.
|
||||
- `innovation_obligator_bureaucracy` — Steel Ministry administrative system.
|
||||
Grants: obligator-related council tasks, canton administration.
|
||||
- `innovation_caste_codification` — The legal framework of noble/skaa
|
||||
separation. Grants: caste laws (task 4.9). Pre-unlocked because the
|
||||
system is already established.
|
||||
- `innovation_canal_networks` — Transport infrastructure. Grants: trade
|
||||
route bonuses, movement speed.
|
||||
- `innovation_keep_architecture` — Fortified noble keeps. Grants: defensive
|
||||
buildings, keep upgrades.
|
||||
Total: ~8 pre-unlocked innovations representing the Empire's static
|
||||
technological state.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Define the "Age of Liberation" era.** This era is **locked** until the
|
||||
Lord Ruler falls (triggered by M7 endgame). Innovations become discoverable
|
||||
only after the `lord_ruler_fallen` global flag is set:
|
||||
|
||||
- `innovation_free_metallurgy` — Unrestricted metal research. Grants:
|
||||
improved allomantic training, new metal alloy weapons, metal supply
|
||||
efficiency +20%.
|
||||
- `innovation_printing_press` — Knowledge can spread freely. Grants:
|
||||
+30% development growth, learning bonus, Keeper knowledge spreads faster.
|
||||
- `innovation_skaa_citizenship` — Former slaves gain rights. Grants: unlock
|
||||
`caste_law_abolished`, skaa characters can hold any title, skaa
|
||||
recruitment bonuses.
|
||||
- `innovation_democratic_councils` — Post-rebellion governance experiments.
|
||||
Grants: new council task options, elective succession available.
|
||||
- `innovation_feruchemical_scholarship` — Feruchemy studied openly. Grants:
|
||||
Feruchemist training decisions for non-Terris characters, coppermind
|
||||
sharing bonuses, Terris Synod activity improvements (M7).
|
||||
- `innovation_allomantic_theory` — Systematic study of Allomancy. Grants:
|
||||
improved snapping event outcomes (+10% Mistborn chance), allomantic
|
||||
strength training decisions, Allomantic Exhibition activity bonuses (M7).
|
||||
- `innovation_koloss_integration` — Taming koloss for civil use. Grants:
|
||||
koloss MaA improved, koloss characters can be courtiers, koloss labor
|
||||
for province development.
|
||||
- `innovation_inter_dominance_trade` — Free trade between dominances.
|
||||
Grants: trade route income +30%, atium can be traded freely, trade
|
||||
agreement CBs replaced by peaceful negotiation.
|
||||
Total: ~8 post-rebellion innovations representing the explosion of progress.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Implement the era gate.** The "Age of Liberation" era requires:
|
||||
```
|
||||
can_progress = {
|
||||
has_global_variable = lord_ruler_fallen
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
This variable is set by the Fall of Kredik Shaw endgame event (M7 task 7.7).
|
||||
Before this variable exists, no character can research Age of Liberation
|
||||
innovations.
|
||||
|
||||
The innovation UI should show the locked era with a tooltip explaining:
|
||||
"The Lord Ruler forbids progress. Only his fall can unlock a new age."
|
||||
(Localization override for era description.)
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Suppress vanilla eras.** Create empty replacement files for vanilla
|
||||
innovation definitions:
|
||||
- `common/culture/innovations/00_tribal_innovations.txt` — empty
|
||||
- `common/culture/innovations/00_early_medieval_innovations.txt` — empty
|
||||
- `common/culture/innovations/00_high_medieval_innovations.txt` — empty
|
||||
- `common/culture/innovations/00_late_medieval_innovations.txt` — empty
|
||||
Verify the exact file names against the CK3 game install.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Keeper Network synergy.** Each Keeper character in your realm (M3.11)
|
||||
provides +5% innovation research speed for Age of Liberation innovations.
|
||||
This represents the Keepers' preserved knowledge accelerating the post-
|
||||
rebellion renaissance. Implement as a realm modifier that scales with Keeper
|
||||
count:
|
||||
```
|
||||
keeper_knowledge_bonus = {
|
||||
# Applied via yearly pulse, scaled by number of Keepers
|
||||
culture_innovation_progress_mult = 0.05 # per Keeper, up to +25%
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Localization.** Add entries for:
|
||||
- 2 era names + descriptions (~8 keys)
|
||||
- ~16 innovation names + descriptions (~64 keys)
|
||||
- Era gate tooltip (~2 keys)
|
||||
- Keeper synergy modifier (~2 keys)

### 5.8 -- Band Council: Crew Roles and Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:** Kelsier's crew is not just a group — each member fills a specific
|
||||
role in the heist operation. CK3's Roads to Power adventurer system likely has
|
||||
companion/camp mechanics. This task creates a parallel to the landed council
|
||||
system (M4 task 4.8) but tailored for an unlanded band. Each crew member gets a
|
||||
defined role with mechanical effects, custom tasks, and narrative events. When a
|
||||
role is vacant (member dead, absent, or not yet recruited), the crew suffers
|
||||
penalties — creating pressure to keep the team together.
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Define 7 crew roles.** These map loosely to the landed council but reflect
|
||||
the crew's heist-oriented structure. Create in
|
||||
`common/council_positions/01_crew_council.txt` (or the RtP equivalent — this
|
||||
depends on 5.1 research into how adventurer band roles work mechanically):
|
||||
|
||||
| Crew Role | Default Member | Allomantic Requirement | Mechanical Bonus |
|
||||
|--------------------|----------------|------------------------|------------------|
|
||||
| **Crew Leader** | Kelsier | Mistborn preferred | +3 diplomacy, +2 martial. Morale bonus to all crew. Unlocks "Plan the Next Operation" decision. Crew operations have +15% success. |
|
||||
| **Crew Second** | Dockson | None (organizational) | +3 stewardship, +1 diplomacy. Manages crew resources (gold upkeep reduced 15%). Logistics events — supplies, safe houses, equipment. |
|
||||
| **Smoker** | Clubs | Smoker (required) | Coppercloud over the crew's hideout. -30% chance of Inquisitor discovery events. If vacant: discovery chance doubles. Hideout protection events. |
|
||||
| **Soother/Rioter** | Breeze | Soother or Rioter | +3 diplomacy. Crowd manipulation bonuses: skaa recruitment decisions get +20% success. Noble manipulation schemes get +15% power. Emotional Allomancy events. |
|
||||
| **Tineye Scout** | Marsh (early), Spook (later) | Tineye (required) | +3 intrigue. Early warning system: the crew gets advance notice of Steel Ministry sweeps (event with preparation options). If vacant: ambush events fire without warning. |
|
||||
| **Enforcer** | Ham | Thug preferred | +3 prowess, +2 martial. Combat specialist for the crew. Direct combat events — Ham holding the door, street fights, Hazekiller encounters. Crew combat decisions get +15% success. |
|
||||
| **Infiltrator** | Vin | Mistborn or Soother | +3 intrigue, +1 diplomacy. Noble house penetration — enables the noble infiltration scheme from M4. Ball attendance events. Identity management (switching between skaa and noble persona). |
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Implement role assignment mechanics.** Each role should be assignable to
|
||||
any crew member, but characters with the matching Allomantic trait get
|
||||
enhanced bonuses (shown in table above). The default assignments match the
|
||||
books. Role assignment is via a decision or interaction:
|
||||
```
|
||||
assign_crew_role_decision = {
|
||||
is_shown = {
|
||||
is_landless_adventurer = yes # or equivalent RtP check
|
||||
has_character_flag = is_crew_leader
|
||||
}
|
||||
# Opens event with role selection for target character
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Create vacancy penalties.** When a role is unfilled, the crew suffers:
|
||||
- **No Smoker:** Inquisitor discovery events fire at 2x rate. Crew modifier:
|
||||
`no_smoker_penalty` = -10 intrigue (court/band level).
|
||||
- **No Scout:** Ambush events have no preparation phase. Modifier:
|
||||
`no_tineye_penalty` = -5 intrigue, hostile scheme power +20%.
|
||||
- **No Enforcer:** Combat events have -20% success rate. Modifier:
|
||||
`no_enforcer_penalty` = -5 prowess, -3 martial.
|
||||
- **No Second:** Resource events cost 25% more gold. Modifier:
|
||||
`no_second_penalty` = +15% gold upkeep.
|
||||
- **No Infiltrator:** Noble infiltration scheme unavailable. Ball attendance
|
||||
events don't fire.
|
||||
- **No Soother:** Recruitment success rate -20%. Noble manipulation scheme
|
||||
power -15%.
|
||||
Vacancy checks run on monthly pulse via scripted trigger.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Create crew role events.** Each role has 2-3 role-specific events that fire
|
||||
on the yearly pulse when the role is filled:
|
||||
|
||||
**Smoker events (Clubs):**
|
||||
- `mistborn_crew_role.0001` — Clubs detects a Seeker probing the hideout.
|
||||
Options: relocate (gold cost, safety), confront (risk combat), strengthen
|
||||
coppercloud (piety cost to maintain concentration).
|
||||
- `mistborn_crew_role.0002` — The coppercloud flickers during a critical
|
||||
operation. If Clubs is wounded/stressed, chance of exposure. Options depend
|
||||
on whether a backup Smoker exists in the crew.
|
||||
|
||||
**Soother events (Breeze):**
|
||||
- `mistborn_crew_role.0010` — Breeze manipulates a skaa crowd. Success:
|
||||
recruit 50 soldiers (hidden levy). Failure: crowd panics, attention +5.
|
||||
- `mistborn_crew_role.0011` — Breeze Soothes a reluctant noble contact.
|
||||
Success: gain intel on rival house. Failure: noble suspects manipulation,
|
||||
cover at risk.
|
||||
|
||||
**Tineye events (Marsh/Spook):**
|
||||
- `mistborn_crew_role.0020` — Scout detects an Inquisitor patrol heading
|
||||
toward your area. Options: flee (lose progress), ambush (high risk, high
|
||||
reward), hide and observe (intrigue check, intel gain).
|
||||
- `mistborn_crew_role.0021` — Enhanced senses overhear a critical
|
||||
conversation. Gain a secret about a noble house or Ministry plan.
|
||||
|
||||
**Enforcer events (Ham):**
|
||||
- `mistborn_crew_role.0030` — Street confrontation with Hazekillers.
|
||||
Prowess-based combat with Thug flaring options (enhanced strength, risk of
|
||||
pewter drag). Outcomes: victory (dread +5, prestige +20), defeat (wounded,
|
||||
crew morale hit).
|
||||
- `mistborn_crew_role.0031` — Ham trains crew members in combat. After
|
||||
event: random crew member gains +1 prowess.
|
||||
|
||||
**Infiltrator events (Vin):**
|
||||
- `mistborn_crew_role.0040` — Attending a noble ball undercover. Social
|
||||
checks using diplomacy/intrigue. Success: learn a house secret, gain noble
|
||||
ally. Failure: cover nearly blown, must choose to fight or flee.
|
||||
- `mistborn_crew_role.0041` — Infiltrator discovers their noble persona is
|
||||
being investigated. Urgent decision: abandon the identity (lose progress),
|
||||
double down (risk exposure), or have Breeze Soothe the investigator.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Create band task equivalents.** If RtP supports task-like mechanics for
|
||||
adventurer companions (similar to council tasks), implement custom tasks:
|
||||
- `crew_task_plan_operation` — Crew Leader task. Generates "operation points"
|
||||
that accumulate toward unlocking the next story arc decision.
|
||||
- `crew_task_gather_intel` — Tineye Scout task. Reveals information about
|
||||
target province (garrison, Allomancer presence, Ministry activity).
|
||||
- `crew_task_recruit_skaa` — Soother/Rioter task. Slowly builds hidden skaa
|
||||
levy count.
|
||||
- `crew_task_secure_hideout` — Smoker task. Maintains coppercloud. Monthly
|
||||
upkeep cost in gold. If task is interrupted, hideout security drops.
|
||||
- `crew_task_acquire_supplies` — Crew Second task. Reduces crew upkeep costs
|
||||
and generates small gold income from Dockson's contacts.
|
||||
|
||||
If RtP does NOT support task-like mechanics for bands, implement these as
|
||||
decisions with monthly cooldowns that check which roles are filled.
|
||||
|
||||

### 7.12 -- Scripted Infrastructure and On-Action Hooks
|
||||
### 7.12 -- Advanced Council Interactions and Court Events
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:** M4 establishes the rethemed council and court positions. M5
|
||||
establishes the band council with crew roles. This task adds the deep, narrative-
|
||||
weight interactions that make the council system feel uniquely Mistborn — kandra
|
||||
spies replacing courtiers, Smokers hiding deliberations from enemy Seekers,
|
||||
Terris Stewards concealing their Keeper identity, and Obligator Witnesses
|
||||
betraying their lords. These are the events that make players remember the
|
||||
council system as more than a stat screen.
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Kandra Agent: "Replace a Courtier" interaction.** The Kandra Agent court
|
||||
position (M4) gains a unique character interaction:
|
||||
- `interaction_kandra_replace_courtier` — Target: any courtier in your court
|
||||
or a neighbouring court. The kandra kills and impersonates the target.
|
||||
Mechanically: target character dies (hidden/secret death), kandra gains a
|
||||
flag `kandra_impersonating_<target_id>`. The "courtier" remains in court
|
||||
with the target's appearance but the kandra's intrigue stat.
|
||||
- Benefits: +20 scheme power against the target's liege. Access to their
|
||||
secrets. If the target was a councillor, the kandra fills that council
|
||||
position with enhanced intrigue.
|
||||
- Risks: yearly check (10% base) of being discovered. Discovery event chain:
|
||||
- If discovered by a Seeker (bronze Misting): immediate exposure. The
|
||||
Seeker can blackmail you or expose you.
|
||||
- If discovered by observation (failed social check): suspicion grows.
|
||||
3-event escalation before full exposure.
|
||||
- On full exposure: massive opinion penalty (-50 with all vassals), Lord
|
||||
Ruler attention +15, the kandra flees or is captured.
|
||||
- Event file: `events/council_events.txt`, namespace `mistborn_council`
|
||||
- Events: `mistborn_council.0001` (initiate replacement), `.0002` (kandra
|
||||
assumes identity), `.0003-.0005` (discovery chain), `.0006` (exposure
|
||||
fallout)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Court Smoker: Coppercloud court protection events.** The Court Smoker
|
||||
position (M4) triggers periodic events:
|
||||
- `mistborn_council.0010` — An enemy Seeker probes your court. If Court
|
||||
Smoker is filled: automatic success, the Seeker detects nothing. Event
|
||||
text describes the Smoker quietly extending the coppercloud. If vacant:
|
||||
the Seeker learns which of your courtiers are Allomancers (enemy gains
|
||||
scheme power +10, your Allomancer courtiers' traits become known to the
|
||||
enemy).
|
||||
- `mistborn_council.0011` — The Smoker is overwhelmed. During a major event
|
||||
(siege, ball, investigation), the coppercloud falters. Decision: pull the
|
||||
Smoker from the event to maintain the cloud (lose the Smoker's
|
||||
participation), let the cloud drop temporarily (risk exposure), or burn
|
||||
extra copper (gold cost, maintains both). If the Smoker is also Mistborn:
|
||||
additional option to burn bronze simultaneously and detect the enemy Seeker.
|
||||
- `mistborn_council.0012` — A visiting noble brings their own Seeker. Tension
|
||||
event: the Court Smoker and the visiting Seeker engage in a silent
|
||||
Allomantic duel. Intrigue-based check. Success: the visitor leaves
|
||||
frustrated. Failure: they learn something about your court.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Obligator Witness: Betrayal and loyalty events.** The Obligator Witness
|
||||
position creates tension — this person serves the Ministry, not you:
|
||||
- `mistborn_council.0020` — The Obligator reports your activities to the
|
||||
Canton. Periodic event (yearly, 25% chance). If your Lord Ruler attention
|
||||
is > 50: the report triggers an Inquisitor investigation event. If < 25:
|
||||
the report is routine and harmless. Between 25-50: ambiguous — the
|
||||
Obligator may downplay or emphasize based on their opinion of you.
|
||||
- `mistborn_council.0021` — The Obligator discovers one of your secrets
|
||||
(hidden faith, illegal breeding program, skaa Allomancer courtier). Choice
|
||||
options: bribe (gold cost, temporary silence), intimidate (dread check,
|
||||
opinion penalty), convert (learning check — try to win them to your cause,
|
||||
very hard), or eliminate (murder scheme auto-starts, attention +10 if
|
||||
discovered).
|
||||
- `mistborn_council.0022` — You can choose to feed the Obligator false
|
||||
information. Intrigue check. Success: Lord Ruler attention decreases as the
|
||||
Canton receives a glowing report. Failure: the Obligator realizes the
|
||||
deception, opinion -30, next Canton report is devastating.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Terris Steward: Secret Keeper events.** If the Terris Steward court
|
||||
position is filled by a character with `trait_feruchemist` or the
|
||||
`keeper_identity` flag:
|
||||
- `mistborn_council.0030` — The Steward reveals their true nature as a
|
||||
Keeper. Player choice: accept and protect (gain learning +2, access to
|
||||
coppermind events), report to the Ministry (piety +50, attention -10, lose
|
||||
the Steward), demand they share their knowledge (learning check, gain a
|
||||
rare artifact — coppermind or worldbringer text).
|
||||
- `mistborn_council.0031` — An Inquisitor visits and is suspicious of your
|
||||
Steward. Choice: hide the Steward (intrigue check), sacrifice them (piety,
|
||||
attention reduction, lose Steward), or fight the Inquisitor (martial check,
|
||||
extremely dangerous, Lord Ruler attention +20).
|
||||
- `mistborn_council.0032` — The Steward teaches your heir about pre-Ascension
|
||||
history. If accepted: heir gains learning +1 and the `curious` trait. If
|
||||
the Ministry discovers this: attention +10.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Allomantic Advisor: Metal-type specific events.** The advisor's events
|
||||
vary based on their Allomantic metal type:
|
||||
- `mistborn_council.0040` — **Coinshot advisor:** Offers to demonstrate coin
|
||||
pushing as a military tactic. If accepted: your Hazekiller MaA gain +5%
|
||||
damage for 2 years (they learn from watching). Chance of injury to
|
||||
bystanders (opinion event).
|
||||
- `mistborn_council.0041` — **Soother advisor:** Offers to Soothe your
|
||||
vassals during a tense council meeting. If accepted: +15 opinion with all
|
||||
vassals for 1 year, but risk of discovery (manipulation shame modifier).
|
||||
- `mistborn_council.0042` — **Tineye advisor:** Reports enhanced surveillance
|
||||
of your borders. +10% hostile scheme detection for 1 year. But Tineyes
|
||||
hear everything — including your own secrets. Small chance they learn one
|
||||
of your secrets.
|
||||
- `mistborn_council.0043` — **Mistborn advisor:** The ultimate advisor. Can
|
||||
perform any of the above. Additionally: offers to train your children in
|
||||
Allomancy basics (if they have potential). Training event → faster
|
||||
snapping for the child.
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Council synergy with Lord Ruler attention.** Create a yearly hidden event
|
||||
that calculates attention change based on council composition:
|
||||
- Having a Ministry Preceptor AND Obligator Witness: -5 attention/year
|
||||
(maximum compliance appearance)
|
||||
- Having a Court Smoker but NO Obligator Witness: -2 attention/year
|
||||
(hidden but not suspicious)
|
||||
- Having neither: no bonus
|
||||
- Having a Kandra Agent in a neighbouring court: -3 attention if the kandra
|
||||
is feeding you intel about Ministry plans
|
||||
This creates meaningful strategic choices about council composition.
|
||||
|
||||
7. **Crew council advanced events (M5 extension).** For the band council, add
|
||||
events that fire during M6/M7 story arcs:
|
||||
- `mistborn_crew_role.0050` — Full crew meeting event. All roles present get
|
||||
a +10% bonus to the next operation. If any role is vacant, the meeting
|
||||
highlights the gap (narrative flavor about missing capabilities).
|
||||
- `mistborn_crew_role.0051` — Role conflict event. Two crew members disagree
|
||||
on approach (e.g., Ham's direct assault vs. Breeze's manipulation). Player
|
||||
mediates. Choice affects operation approach and crew morale.
|
||||
- `mistborn_crew_role.0052` — Crew role evolution. After a major story beat,
|
||||
a crew member's role shifts (e.g., Vin moves from Infiltrator to
|
||||
secondary Leader as she grows in power). Mechanical: role bonuses update.
|
||||
