Landless Opportunities: Playable Courtiers (Test Branch)

Description
"As a truly landless character, join courts, mercenary groups, holy orders, or even adventurer's camps as followers. Purchase a property to live in or establish as a business. Serve as a Vizier, or amass enough wealth to oust a republican liege from power and take their place."

This is the test branch of my mod Landless Opportunities: Playable Courtiers.

Any new features will probably be tested here, though I'll try and keep it stable regardless. Feedback is appreciated!

Although this mod can run without it, I highly recommend using the mod Real Freedom - Really Landless by FunGaming44 to be able to properly enjoy the "truly landless" additions without game over screens. Load this after Really Landless.

For those who don't care about playing a truly landless character (by which I mean completely no titles/camp), you can ignore all the landless additions added in this update.

New Features
  • Completing service schemes now gives "Court Performance". A simple variable that you can keep for prestige or spend to get hooks at court, or enhance your schemes in the realm.
  • A decision to disband your adventurer's camp, or form one if unlanded.
  • Whilst truly landless, decisions become unavailable. All the decisions of the original mod have been given interactions too, meaning this now actually works with Real Freedom - Really Landless.
  • As a truly landless character, join courts, mercenary groups, holy orders, or even adventurer's camps as followers. Purchase a property to live in or establish as a business. Serve as a Vizier, or amass enough wealth to oust a republican liege from power and take their place.
  • Other small fixes

Known Issues
  • Many basegame features don't apply to unlanded characters. I've added a workaround to provide some events but a purely landless playthrough atm will probably be quite barebones.
  • If event's aren't triggering, you have probably been replaced by an evil ai that is making decisions for you. Reload to fix (tends to happen after a lose screen if you try continuing as an unplayable character so very rare).
  • Some modifiers such as liege_opinion do not seem to apply to truly landless characters.
  • Monthly lifestyle xp is fixed to 25 (but not 0 as it would normally be if truly landless)

If you find any other issues (I expect there are some) let me know in the Bug Reports Discussion.

Thanks for the comments! There's definitely room to expand on mercenary/adventurer camps and holy orders. You can get pretty fast court performance/rewards if your group gets hired for a war though that's mostly luck. If you've got ideas for new features let me know.

I really like the concept of this mod and I hope it's expanded upon. It's fun for starting landless and transitioning into landed gameplay, but staying as a landless character feels like you just do nothing and make very incremental progress; job performance takes years to raise and there's little you can do to expedite it besides spamming the Visit Camp button

@Chicken_Smuggler yes it does. Should still work on 1.15 as well.

@FunGaming44 I decided to drop the court positions file since the changes to aptitude didn't seem worth the hassle (it was just to negate the -20 aptitude for "busy ruling" if you have a camp). Only overwrite in this mod I can think of now is for the "Procure Estate" interaction.

New (very minor) update.
- Localisation/minor improvements
- Interaction when unlanded to attend activities that are in progress

I should mention that mods that let you become a knight/commander can work nicely with this mod too (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2861161429)

Does this work on 1.16.2?

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2749586647 update this one as they changed a bunch of things, please update your mod along with it

This is a great idea, and as mentioned, a DLC about playing in a court, would be awesome.
