[Discontinued] More Tenets Slots + Ltd. Customizable Ethics

I stopped playing Crusader Kings III and maintaining this mod. Everybody is free to use its code for developing their own mods.

More Tenets Slots + Ltd. Customizable Ethics is a combination of my More Tenets Slots mod – originally made by Karax – and the Virtues and Sins feature from Elder Kings 2 mod.

Therefore all credits belong to Karax and the developers from Elder Kings 2, as I never would be able to develop such mods, I‘m just able to maintain them ( and improve them, more or less).

As it turned out, it is impossible to include two parallel sets of doctrines, each defining virtues and sins. They will interfere each other. Therefore I split my More Tenets Slots + Unl. Customizable Ethics mod, formerly known as More Tenets Slots + Customizable Ethics. This mod is the ‘Limited’ branch.

More Tenets Slots originally was developed by Karax for his More Religion Tenets Slots mod.
It enables the player to create a new faith with up to 20 Tenets. Therefore up to 17 empty „Tenets Slots“ are displayed in Faith Creation Window (as every faith already owns 3 Tenets). Unused slots are removed after faith creation, so the Faith Window will have a nicer look. Karax stated, that in theory AI also can use up to 20 slots, but at least in his saves it only used 3.

Note: The core_tenets.txt of this mode does not contain the changes, Karax made to the vanilla game tenets, to allow few already available doctrines to be used by other faiths.

Limited Customizable Ethics is my adapted version of the Virtues and Sins feature from Elder Kings 2.
This feature flips the Virtue & Sin logic. Instead of Tenets providing Virtues and/or Sins, they now require the necessary traits to be set as Virtue or Sin, before they can be picked. On faith creation only personality traits can be defined as Virtues or Sins. Virtues and Sins relying on other traits will still be provided by selecting a Tenet.

The original feature only allowed to define 3 Virtues and 3 Sins. But as some pagan religions have been given 4 personality traits as a Virtue, I enhanced the selection to 4 for each. And because there exists a religion with just 2 Virtues and another with just 2 Sins, I also introduced 2 empty Virtues and Sins.

As this mod first only included the More Tenets Slots feature and quite a number of its subscribers might not be interested in using this Limited Customizable Ethics feature, I introduced a game rule to enable it. This rule is set to „disabled“ by default. Therefore the Limited Customizable Ethics feature is only available to a new game.

This mod contains an English and a German localization made by myself. For all other standard languages, I added a localization using the English language.

This mod will not be compatible with any other mod, that also modifies the window_faith.gui and the window_faith_creation.gui files or the Core Tenets. But I consider joining Unified UI framework. In this case, every mod compatible with that framework will also be compatible with my mod.

All patches I‘ve made and will make in the future, refer to my More Tenets Slots + Unl. Customizable Ethics mod. But they will work just as well with this mod and my More Tenets Slots mod.

Compatibility Patches for Total Conversion Mods as Elder Kings 2, Princes of Darkness, Godherja: The Dying World or LotR: Realms in Exile are special. Because these mods are using modified vanilla Tenets or have an own system of sins and virtues, the compatches will only support the More Tenets Slots feature, independent from the game rule that is set for Customizable Ethics. Players, confused by this, are recommended to use More Tenets Slots mod instead.

There are already some compatibility patches:
* Elder Kings 2 + MTS – Patch
* PoD + MTS – Patch
* Godherja + MTS – Patch
* LotR + MTS – Patch
* Polytheism Reborn + MTS-CE – Patch

The recommended loading order is
- More Tenets Slots + Ltd. Customizable Ethics (quite at the end of your loading order)
- Any patch made for More Tenets Slots + Unl. Customizable Ethics mod

This mod is only compatible with ironman, but not with achievements.
