Fourth Doctrine Reformation and Excommunication

A functional 4 doctrines mod that also supports Excommunications as a bonus.

The full summary is that this mod will:
Allow a Temporal head of a religion to Excommunicate (and grant divorces)
Grant reforming religions a total of four doctrines to spend

That's all

Why does it exist? Well...

The story
I recently discovered a mod that allowed reformed pagans with temporal leadership to excommunicate people. As an almost exclusively pagan player this sounded hilarious to me. Unfortunately the mod in question didn't play nice with any other mod that fiddles with the religion features file, which is... well quite a few other mods, actually.

Thanks to a comment by a user known as Dr. Objebos on the Temporal can Excommunicate mod page, I discovered the ability to excommunicate was pretty much determined by a simple yes or no bit of text. So I decided to add that bit of text to a relatively common file that also edits religions, namely one that gives more doctrines - four total doctrines to be exact.

Credit note:
The many various "extra doctrine" mods that have existed prior to this one for me to figure out how and what to do to replicate that, and of course the Dr. Objebos individual responsible for my discovery of how the Excommunication ability can be added.

Further note:
Anyone who wishes to make a variant with a different number of total doctrines may feel free to use this mod as a base. You can add or remove additional doctrines by simply finding the bit of code that says:

"religion_doctrine = {
buttons = { doctrine1 doctrine2 doctrine3 doctrine4 }"

And either removing doctrines or adding doctrine 5, doctrine 6 until you have however many you want. This bit of code can be found in common > religion features > 00_features.txt

If you'd like to contact me for something, or otherwise keep up with me outside of Steam, you can typically find most of what I'm up to lately through my Carrd page.[fjarunsigr.carrd.co] Following on any of the platforms in my Carrd would be appreciated, and they're a bit more reliable to contact me through than Steam is.

If you need help quickly, try contacting me on my Twitter. If you just want to tell me about a potential issue, feel free to use the Steam comments - just be aware that these are slower as the notifications are largely useless.

Do not try to create mod page discussions for help at all. They are by far the worst method, as there is no notification for when one is started whatsoever.

If and when I start actively modding again, I will see what I can do to offer alternative download options. For the moment, this is offered as-is.
