Version 0.1.7.2
-----------

Mechanics:
- Titular Roman Empires will be destroyed if one of the historic Roman Capitals for that title are not in the realm during succession
- This models the very tenuous position Julius Nepos found himself in after the deposition of Romulus Augustulus
- For the Western Roman Empire, holding one of Rome, Ravenna, Trier, or Milan will prevent this event
- For the Eastern Roman Empire, holding one of Constantinople or Bithynia will prevent this event
- For the Roman Empire, holding any of the six will prevent his event
- Permanent Tributaries are now generally accessible
- They are created de facto next to Centralized Governments (i.e., Roman, Iranian, and Indian governments) during tributary creation
- If not directly bordering the core polity, it instead becomes a vanilla tributary of the appropriate type

Casus Belli:
- Added Federate Border Raid CB
- Models the occasionally contentious relationship between federates and Rome, especially with the Goths
- Temporarily breaks tributary status and launches a raid war against a county of the suzerain
- Victory also increases subsidies from suzerain, while defeat reduces subsidies
- Requires one of "Fate of Iberia", "Legacy of Persia", "Roads to Power", or "Khans of the Steppe"

Cultures:
- Angle culture replaces "Warrior Culture" Tradition with "Hirds" Tradition
- Old Saxon culture replaces "The Witengamot" Tradition with "Hirds" Tradition
- Jute culture replaces "Coastal Warriors" Tradition with "Hirds" Tradition, regardless of DLC

Traditions:
- Hirds Tradition made unselectable by Scandzan Heritage Cultures with "Northern Lords" DLC

Tweaks:
- Blocked "Cease Paying Tribute" if you are involved in the same war as your suzerain
- Cimbrian Heritage now has Nordsee Kulturbund as well

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed generic tributaries not being able to fight for independence
- Blocked "Expand Duchy" and "Set De Jure Capital" decisions when primary titles are titular
- Fixed Elamite heritage being available on Culture Divergence

Localization:
- The Frankish kingdom is now localized as "Francia" instead of "The Franks", in line with other post-Roman Germanic states
- The Germanic religion is localized to "Germanic" for consistency

Version 0.1.7.1
-----
- Updated the mod to Vanilla 1.16.2.1

Mechanics:
- Added some new permanent tributary types for centralized governments (Roman, Persian, Indian)
- One for Non-Tribal, Non-Nomadic and another for Nomadic and Tribal
- Non-Tribal, Non-Nomadic adds tributary tax while tribal does not
- These tributaries types are inherited, even after claimant wars
- Re-added Federates as a type of tributaries
- Available only with "Khans of the Steppe" DLC
- Both Suzerain and Tributary Guarantee laws are always on
- Is creatable via interactions, like previous federate interactions
- Federate Gains:
- Receives subsidies from the suzerain, improving domain taxes
- Improved levy size and reinforcement rate, Men-At-Arms cost and maintenance
- Pays levies to the suzerain
- Suzerain Gains:
- Decreased Men-At-Arms cost and maintenance
- Pays gold subsidies to the Federate, loosing capital development growth and domain taxes

Culture:
- Changed Cultures:
- Punic: Gave it a new "Punic" heritage to distinguish the colonial Phoenician population from the Levantine population
- Galatian: Changed to be an Anatolian heritage culture instead of a Continental Celtic heritage culture
- New Cultures:
- Romano-Punic: Represents the Romanization of the relic Punic population in the Vth-IXth centuries, Roman/Punic hybrid
- This is separate from Romano-African culture, with slightly different traditions

Casus Belli:
- Migration Wars:
- Counties that convert to tribal holdings during Major Migrations now destroy all other holdings in the county
- Modified Major Migrations to better match desired conversion of territories to Tribal holdings
- Migration Wars are disabled within the Greate Steppe Situation region
- Nomadic migration is instead used in that area
- Extended lowered required fame level CB requirements to WtWSMS Wars & the effect is compounded for traditions enabling easier migrations

Tweaks:
- Removed extraneous claims for Romulus and Beuka at the appropriate bookmarks
- Removed "Settle as Tribal" Decision, as it is superceded by Khans of the Steppe nomad mechanics

- Reduced at-start Men-at-Arms to be in line with Vanilla, in preparation for more precise evaluation of at-start armies

- The old landed Baguadae holder is now landless in Hispania
- Added several additional Baguadae in Gaul, Armorica, and Hispania

- Removed previous Tributary mechanics in favor of direct vassal contracts
- Previous mechanics had significant technical issues

- Implementation is very shallow and not designed for player interaction
- PDX is planning on implementing tributaries in the near future
- This will replace this interim ad hoc approach
- Ostrogothic and Moesogothic cultures are not extant until 488 in history
- Ostrogoths and Thracian Goths are instead Gothic at bookmark start
- Changed Theodorics 476 situation to better match history; he's landed in Turnovo

CBs:
- "Major" Wars:
- Major Wars are a new category of potentially devastating wars. They are wars for large amounts of territory and grand goals, and thus occupation damages development during these wars.
- Applies currently to Major Migrations
- Migrations:
- Major Migrations now cause reduction in development in counties, weighted by how many minorities the county has after migration
- The larger the minority (or majority), the greater the damage
- There is a chance that castle holdings of low development will be converted to tribal holdings during major migrations
- This is mitigated by certain innovations, and some are very important to prevent this effect

- Secular Authority is now consistent across the realm, like Vanilla "Imperial Bureaucracy"

- Does not interface directly with Zoroastrianism anymore; instead applies directly to court chaplain rules for that polity

- Uses Tax Jurisdictions with a few non-basic jurisdictions

- Liege gets increased domain limit, tyranny gain, legitimacy, vassal limit, and renown; and decreased prestige and enemy hostile scheme success

- Eventually changes into Clan or Feudal governments

Defines & Game Rules:
- Added default game rule slowing hybrid and divergence
- Reduced a number of hard-coded defines, slowing the growth of cultural acceptance
- Added game rule restricting the creation of de jure titles if the ruler's primary title is titular; off by default and has an "AI only" variant as well.

New Mechanics:
- The Senate:
- Created two Senate institutions, with Roman and Constantinopolitan Senates, instead of having them on the map as a title
- The institution is interactable through the GUI as a new menu item
- Senate Interactions:
- Request Recognition:
- An event fires several days after taking the Senate Seat, where the Consul requests that you request Senatorial recognition
- You can Accept, Ignore the Senate, or Stall; all actions costing prestige and conferring modifiers
- After that event, players may request through the GUI that the Senate recognize them if they chose to stall instead of making a decision
- Rather than a decision, players may disestablish the Senate in the GUI if they are not a Roman-type culture or a Roman government
- Senatorial Recognition:
- Getting the recognition of the Senate confers a modifier which negates short-reign penalties, at the cost of prestige, but also gains an opinion bump with Senators
- Ignoring the Senate gains one prestige at the cost of an opinion malus with Senators
- Stalling the Senate hurts one's opinion with Senators, and each new consul will both the Senate Seat top liege, requesting that they seek the approval of the Senate
- Senate Character Interactions:
- The top liege of the Senate seat (Rome or Constantinople for East and West, respectively) and the consul may use Senate Interactions
- They may nominate a new Senator from characters in the "Senatorial Regions" around the Senate Seats or within the top liege of the Senate Holder's realm
- They may elevate dynasties to join the ranks of the senate
- The top liege of the Senate Seat may also nominate the next consul
- However, Senators react negatively to such interference by the top holder and such actions give negative opinion modifiers and cost variable prestige (depending on the nominee's traits and standing)
- Senatorial Families:
- Senatorial families have some implicit modifiers, granting prestige gain for dynasty members as well as bolstering diplomacy and intrigue
- Senatorial families expect to have a certain number of non-capital (or capital) baronies in their family
- Senatorial family dynasts will bother the holder of the Senate seat if their family has fewer holdings than desired
- Accepting grants a random non-capital barony to the Senator's family at the cost of aggrivating vassals
- Refusing irritates the whole Senate
- Traits and Modifiers:
- Senators for both the East and West have traits which denote their membership and provide some prestige gain
- The Consuls have a character modifier indicating their consulship
- Previous Consuls have a trait indicating their prior consulship
- These Traits have additional, culture-related modifiers
- Senate leadership is elected yearly
- The Senate will behave somewhat autonomously, electing Consuls every January, or sooner if the consul dies mid-term, from among their ranks
- Players may nominate Consuls if they hold the Senate Seat, annoying the Senate but giving their nominee prestige and renown, as well as making them next consul
- Senate and Title Revocation:
- Revoking non-capital baronies from Senators _without a revocation_ reason angers all Senators
- Applies even for bureaucratic and gubernatorial governments (who otherwise have very liberal revocation rules)
- This does not extend to Senators with counties or greater
- Either of the Senates may collapse if no senator is available to maintain the Senate's functions
- Rajamandala and Eranshahr governments cannot request interact with the Senate, as they function under very different understanding of universality than the Roman Empire
- Senatorial approval and disapproval comes with legitimacy gain and loss, modified by government type, held titles, and culture features
- Title Creation:
- Titular Cultural Titles and related concepts removed
- Holding only Titular Kingdoms or Empires prevents you from creating de jure kingdoms and empires
- Added a decision for making titular Kingdoms into de jure Kingdoms for characters who cannot establish Roman empires, or for land outside the Roman Empire
- Only available to non-tribal, non-nomad, non-Gubernatorial governments
- Requirements:
- Have held the duchy in which the capital county resides for at least 30 years
- Complete control of at least two duchies within the same de jure kingdom, one of which is the capital duchy
- The capital duchy is your culture and faith
- Your culture has Social Stratification and Writing Innovations
- Legitimacy Level of 3
- Prestige Level of 5
- Maximum Crown-Type Authority if government has it, or sufficient fedualization for Sub-Roman governments
- Added a decision for replacing de jure Roman Provinces with titular Kingdoms for characters who can establish Roman empires, for land within the Roman Empire
- Similar to the above, but requires complete control of the associated kingdom

WtWSMS Mechanics, from Previous Releases:
- Minorities:
- Faith Conversion (by event/decision/interface): a large minority of your old faith will still exist in your capital if you convert
- Culture creation removes parent culture minorities in counties of the new culture
- If a hybrid or diverged culture is within the cooldown period, the parent cultures are subsumed instead of becoming a minority when the county culture changes
- Conversion (by any means) now will keep a large minority of the old faith in your capital county
- Rites and related faiths do not leave behind a minority if converted to the main faith, _unless_ it is a holy site of the Rite and not the main faith

-----------
General:
- Updated the mod for 1.10.2
- Added New "Rise of the White Huns" bookmark to 476 group

Mechanics:
- Improved CCU model:
- Languages:
- Introduced notion of dialect continua to provide more granularity to languages
- A language can have multiple continua, helping provide a better model for languages at the lowest levels
- Introduce notion of creoles to allow genetically unrelated languages to have some degree of relation to each other
- Heritages:
- Allowed heritages to have multiple heritage groups and families, in line with the generally fuzzy notion of what a heritage is
- Added "Kulturbund" concept to capture the relative heritage closeness of some heritages that are still distinct
- Example: Altaic Kulturbund for Turkic and Mongolic heritage, Scythian Kulturbund for Sarmatian and Scythian heritages
- Implemented heritage and language drift events to model the evolution of culture and language during the period
- Implemented for Latin heritage and languages
- Implemented for Indo-Aryan languages
- Integrated Nezaros' Minority system and adapted it to WtWSMS
- Added new minority map modes to be able to see distribution of minorities on the map
- Integrated with council tasks
- "Promote Culture" and "Convert County" tasks increase minority level by one (none -> small minority -> large minority -> majority)
- By default, the tasks will continue until the majority of the county is changed
- Integrated with Migrations
- Instead of county modifiers, migrations (major and minor) will spawn minorities based on development and migration type
- Integrated Typical's Tributary system and adapted it to WtWSMS
- Disabled tributary income at the moment, as the tributary income system is broken
- General Changes:
- Tributaries can call their suzerain to war if being attacked by an external power via decision
- Suzerain can always call tributaries to war via decision
- Made it possible to refuse a suzerain call to arms, breaking the tribute contract and making tributaries target-able with punitive CBs (reinforce Tribute and depose the punished ruler)
- Made it possible to refuse a tributary's call to arms, breaking the tribute contract
- New Tributary Types:
- Foederatus Tributary
- A permanent tributary, but (ai) will never refuse a call to arms, either as a foederatus or a suzerain
- Has some additional modifiers for this tribute type
- Created "Right to Rule" interaction for Roman Emperors with federates
- Enables foederatus to conquer former Roman lands as if Roman Successor
- Costs 1000 prestige for the Emperor but grants a 100 year truce (preventing raiding, among other things)

- The probability of these minorities spawning is inversely related to the county's development

- An event now fires a few days after winning a war, allowing players to choose keeping their old government or adopting new ones
