Description
TLDR:
(Patch 2.3.2)
(Can now choose the education background of your randomly invited courtiers.)
(Makes it easier to find randomly generated courtiers via the search character box)
(Lightweight mod compatible with anything that does not touch employment_decisions.txt)
(This mod changes the checksum and disables achievements.)

Wall of Text, Novel like description of mod:

I made this mod because it annoyed me that I couldn't choose what kind of noble was randomly invited to court. I also had trouble finding them after they joined my court. In Vanilla the invite noble to court decision always generated a random character with a stewardship education.

I changed that, I added an invite decision for every education background. The new invite functions still work the same way as base Ck2. But now they allow you to chose the education background of the randomly generated characters instead of it always being stewardship like it was in vanilla.

I also added advisor traits to the characters who are randomly generated by the invite decision. I added these traits so the randomly generated characters could be easily found under the character search box. Just type advisor in the search box and the randomly generated characters will appear.

The new traits are very weak, adding just a +1 to whatever education level they have. If you generated a diplomat he will get the Diplomatic Advisor trait adding a +1 to diplomacy. Each education has it's own +1 trait to make it easier to find these characters when searching for them. I also added a debutante trait, with a +10% fertility. So noble women generated by the invite debutante will be easily found as well. I added total of 6 traits, These traits will only be given to characters generated by the invite character to court decision. The random characters the AI generates will not recieve these traits.

When CK2 generates a random character, it gives them one of the 4 tiers of education. Each attribute then rolls 0-9. Then it adds the stat modifiers from the traits they are randomly generated with. So even with a +1 modifier from the advisor traits I added, you will still need to be very lucky to get an advisor with great stats.


All my mods are compatible with each other:

Considering that the original mod author has not been on steam in over 3 years, I am assuming this mod has been abandoned.

I have released an updated and slightly modified version on the workshop, found here:

If the original mod author returns and asks me to remove my mod, I will oblige.

Hi! First off, thanks for making this mod! It's exactly what I'm looking for. I took the liberty of updating my personal copy of it to incorporate the changes Holy Fury made to employment decisions and also made some small adjustments. Would you mind if I uploaded it to the workshop? I would link to the original mod and give you credit, of course.
Elden Ring 2 when? 27 Dec, 2018 @ 11:34am 
this mod actually disables the box window it just auto generates without popping a box for them

Anybody know if this mod is still up to date?

I modded the traits so that I can give a +10 to all characters in their specialty, in this way I can hire no less than an average courtesan without having to try too hard. Lately the character generator was giving me only crap (not because of the mod, but because of the chargen of the game).

update mod please

Since the patch I don't see the options to invite the courtesans in the intrigue menu. "invite a squire" from your other mod, instead, works fine.

ghaldh I concur with you getting rid of the crappy gen characters with those traits is a good move.
Ghaladh 30 Jan, 2016 @ 12:12pm 
Very convenient! Thanks. I like the fact that the stats are not necessarily OP. (Once I got a soldier with 28 points of martial but it was just luck!) What I would love is to avoid getting subpar, Slow or Idiot courtiers... I'm paying gold for them!

Would it be possible to exclude some traits from the NPC generator or extabilishing minimum stats levels? Inviting a spy with the Slow trait and a base Intrigue of 2 is quite annoying when it costed me 125 gold...

Anyway for me to make it so it has a 50/50 shot at which gender it adds? Or a way to choose which gender you want? (Preferably something that doesn't clutter the intrigue menu screen too much)
