Description
Authority for Political Interactions
Assert your power on your characters

Overview
Authority for Political Interactions (API) is a mod that aims to rework some of the vanilla political interactions (i.e., exile, invite agitator, grant leadership, grand command, and arrange accident) to make them more flexible to use and to give Authority another use beyond taxes and decrees.

In vanilla, certain character interactions have a 5-year cooldown, which can sometimes become annoying when a situation arises where you need to reuse one of those interactions, but you cannot due to the cooldown. With API, the cooldown is removed in favor of applying an Authority cost, allowing you to reuse the interactions, but only up to a certain point.

API also adds new Bolster Career and Suppress Career interactions, which, for a little authority, will slowly raise or lower the popularity of the given character over time.

Inspired by u/forsythfromperu's post on the Victoria 3 subreddit.
Spotlighted by Generalist Gaming!

Detailed Rundown
See the post in the Discussions tab.
It is highly recommended you at least read the last few bullet points on Authority Calculations for some important caveats/gotchas to be aware of as you use this mod.

Foreign Languages
  • Русский / Russian (Partial)
  • Polski / Polish (Partial)

Mod Compatibility
API comes with built-in compatibility for Universal Names for all custom tooltips that include character names. No patch mods are required.

Compatible with Ferrous's Let Me Lead and Let Me Assassinate mods thanks to special built-in logic on their end.

=====

Mods that adjust any of the following character interactions will be incompatible:
  • Exile
  • Invite
  • Grant Leadership
  • Grant Command
  • Arrange Accident
  • Imprison Agitator

API does not otherwise overwrite any vanilla content and uses its own files and definitions for the remainder of its features, so all other mods will compatible.

Loading Order
The positioning of API with respect to most other mods should not matter.

If you are having issues with other, unrelated mods, place API lower (towards the bottom) in your playset.

DLC Requirements
This mod does not rely on any DLC features, so you should not need any DLCs.

Permissions
  • YES, you may include this mod in any modpacks/collections/whatever.
  • YES, you may use this mod as a base to create your own. Credit and a link back here would be very much appreciated!

can confirm it doesn't work. the interaction still takes authority but the cooldown still appears

Haven't been able to check yet - I don't have much free time on weekdays & there's a long list of mods I need to work through

Hey, i'm wondering, is it works with 1.9?

That's a really cool mod, thank you for your efforts. With your permission, I have a suggestion: In my opinion, It would be great to add the option to appoint generals as the leader of the interest group they belong to for a certain number of authority points.

Turns out it wasn't (sort of) - the character bolsting/suppressing worked fine (since it's custom logic that's version-agnostic) but some of the vanilla interactions needed updates, especially the Arrange Accident one since PDX made some significant changes to it (namely, the level of your Secret Police institution now affects how likely the assassination is to succeed).

It has now been updated. Sorry for the wait.

Among the changes includes a change to the behavior of character bolstering/suppressing:
• Popularity gained/lost from bolstering/suppressing now decays/recovers over time
• The bolster/suppress interactions no longer automatically stop upon reaching +/-100 popularity gained/lost to accommodate this change

is this mode working with 1.8?
Zszywka 18 Nov, 2024 @ 4:02pm 
I really like this mod, so it's a pity that in my language (Polish) there is a problem with banishing the agitator. Namely, the banishment decision window is too long and goes beyond the screen...
