Landless Opportunities: Playable Courtiers

Description
A Landless Gameplay Expansion
This mod introduces a character interaction for landless players to request employment in a ruler's court as a courtier/advisor. You will receive monthly pay and a decision will appear whilst you are in the capital to attend court and perform various duties. This mod is meant to expand on the options/variety for landless characters and give an incentive to stick around one region/employer.

Features:
  • Landless players can join a ruler's court in an advisory capacity
  • Help develop the county, mediate with different vassal types, strategise during an ongoing war, and more
  • Become the court physician and treat an ailing court, become a bodyguard and manage security, or duel other knights as your liege's champion
  • A bunch of "message pop-up" events so you gain passive rewards whilst at court, without taking up all your time
  • A few random "dilemma" events where you can choose from various options
  • Request minor titles from and present artifacts to your employer to earn some renown
  • Spend prestige to add your employer to your patron's list
How To Start/Things To Know:
  • Join a rulers court via the "Seek Court Employment" interaction. Higher tier courts have greater requirements. Knowing the language of the court, having high skills, being famous/devoted and working up from the court of a vassal can help.
  • Use the attend court decision to start court service schemes and access everything else.
  • Your employer will complain if you leave the court for too long. You can request leave in order to complete contracts. Alternatively, at 100 opinion your employer won't pester you to return.
  • You can join any rulers court, including barons, however you will only be able to ask for court positions for kingdom/empire titles. This is because you'll need to essentially become a landless vassal (and the 'landless title' is duchy tier). You'll be able to request council postions and potentially even become the regent.

Compatibility
No overwrites or changes to the GUI so should be compatible with pretty much everything. This includes total conversions. It seems to work with Elder Kings. AGOT and Godherja.
The lower this is in your load order the better. It should be save game compatible. Make a backup to be safe.

Known Issues
  • When you join a kingdom / empire rank court, you will get the 'Duke' form of address.
  • As caravan master, or generally if included in liege's entourage, pay attention since an event may cause you to be separated without a notification. May need to assign self to an army to get back home.

There are likely other bugs / localisation and balance issues.
If there are any issues/suggestions let me know and I'll look into them as soon as possible. New features are added to the Test Version before this.

Common Questions
Does it work in multiplayer? It should do but might be missing some localisation on the ruler's end. Let me know and will fix.
Can I become Vizier? As an adventurer, no. If you've "disbanded camp", yes.
Does this mod work with the other big landless mods? It is fully compatible with Real Freedom - Really Landless and I highly recommend it if you plan to "disband camp" and play a truly landless character.
I keep getting game overs after disbanding my camp Subscribe to Real Freedom - Really Landless.

@Barracuda thanks again for the report. I'd noticed the same thing myself, will try fix the issue soon.

@Barbara Pierdzimąka the requirements for it to show are: you're an adult, you're an adventurer or have no titles at all, and your target is landed. If it's none of those, perhaps check your active playlist/mods again?

It doesn't work for me at all. Even if that is the only mod I run it doesn't work, what I mean is that I don't have the options to ''Seek Court Employment'' or ''Attend court'' - there are no such options in decisions. Do I have to meet any requirements for these decisions to be visible and available?

I appear to have found a bug. When dueling for you liege after a successful "Preform Champion Duties", the duel takes on the text of a lethal duel instead of a non-lethal. Fortunately the actual outcome does not result in the opponents death just a bit of immersion breaking.
Mods used:
1.Debug Toggle (Less Invasive)
2.Real Freedom - Really Landless
3.Landless Opportunities: Playable Courtiers
4.Active Courtiers

How to reproduce:
Finish a Preform Champion Duties and read the text after a victory. (Or defeat, I always have a high prowess character)

I was about to come and comment "Seems redundant, this is already in the game". Eventually saw I had this already subscribed... So clearly your mod appears to be an essential part of the experience and not a tack-on :)

If you're a landless adventurer and don't have any of the court employment modifiers, and if the target is landed, the interaction should appear (even if tribal/nomadic). You should probably load Really Landless before this but I'm not sure what could be causing the interaction not to show at all for you. Is it showing for other rulers?
BAD ASS SKELETON 3 Jul @ 1:26pm 
I'm having a weird issue where I'm not seeing the interaction to join any of my patron's courts. Is it not possible to join a tribal ruler's court, or could it be some sort of mod conflict? I have this mod and Really Landless at the bottom of my load order if that helps any.

@SquareBeard I will try it then with the really landless mod! Only issue I have is that the game keeps crashing 5 years into the game. I think it might be the administrative vassal reform mod that might be crashing it. I will make a new game with that turned off and see.
SquareBeard  [author] 29 Jun @ 9:22am 
@Starcomet1 if you install Real Freedom - Really Landless you can play completely landless, and this mod adds options to join mercenaries/holy orders/courts (hopefully will have more interesting content in the future). This mod has a "disband camp" decision but you might run into game over screens without Really Landless.

I'll try adding the Request Court interaction for Noble Families then, perhaps adding extra stuff for that specifically in the future.

It would be great if you could add the advisory functionality to noble families! I would definitely use that.

I think the only way to get appointed court chaplain is if liege's religion is lay clergy. Otherwise, you would have to be totally landless with no government type and a courtier to get the position and that might break the game.
