@Balista the FInal Cut
That sounds like bad luck with random death chance. It's rare, especialy for children, but it happens. That would not be what the mod prevents. Natural death chance for a 12 year old is 1 out of 10000, so realy unlucky. Characters that get pruned have no family.

This would affect said situation right? Or do only 40+ year old courtiers get culled? I figured she checked all the boxes for being 'cull-able' except the age parameter, so it triggered? I'm assuming 40+ year old courtier just get put on the chopping block sooner or something?

Awesome mod...I had a 6 y/o 'orphan girl' I was tutoring that got pruned so I came here to fix this awful mechanic. She had her own dynasty but no parents or relations, was raising her to be a lady of the court and she died at age 12 because of 'poor health'? Her traits were basically "young healthy vibrant child"...smh

Download with warning!!!

Characters getting pruned out of existence... does that refer to the incredibly idiotic reality I just discovered that is Unlanded Courtiers disappearing upon death of my ruler and transitioning to his heir?

Do we know the answer to the below question?

Same question as Strategos: How is this mod affected by the court changes in 3.1.1?

Per patch notes: "Added a limit and expenses tied to court size."

I'm not actually sure how to see this information ingame yet. I don't notice a new UI element or anything, but that could be from me not knowing where to look, or because this mod is interfering because it increases the limits.

Still would like to glean more information about things from someone much more knowledgeable than myself.

@Sowilo - is it possible to restrict the mod to players only? Would be ideal if possible.

@Sowilo

3.1.1 patch will have new court features and tweaks etc It'll be released today. Any update needed for your mods? or it's completely unneeded now?

Cheers!

thank you btw your mods are nice i use most of em & the others are only for performance reasons (laptop) <3

is there any way for a player-only version? Possibly a realm-only version? i'd like this but I'm playing on a laptop so it'd be hell to use if it's all the AI too. Also can you make a version where you can only have 6 people in your court and call it oregon trail. thank you.

@Volkdog It is global and applies to all AI too.

Only player?

@TurtleShroom It should work, yeah.

Does this Mod work for the "Game of Thrones" Mod?

This mod is awesome, thank you.

Late replies, but:
@ajacksonian No problem! Glad others are getting use out of this. And agreed on all of that.
@GenericPilot It effects every ruler, players and AI.
@Bruce Wayne Of course!

This has always bugged me, thanks! The court pruning stuff, especially death by disease should be a function of the skill of the Court Physician (actually having one would help) and the ability of the hospital in the capital as seen by either level or disease resistance. Also there was a differentiation between the Liege's personal court (mostly family members and those serving family members), the Privvy Court (which would be the people holding jobs important to the realm plus those holding granted titles), and the common or public court where everyone else gathered with members of the other personal and Privvy members being available for general court functions but not necessarily part of it. Important decisions needing to be announced are done in the public court. There really should be buildings for these different functions. For all the game dynamics CK2 does so well, it falls short here.

Thank you, but does this only affect the courts of players?

Is this save game compatible?

@elderiii As far as I know, there'd unfortunately be no way to do this, since the defines for court pruning aren't per tier of character and are universal.

I wonder if it would be relatively simple to have different restrictions (levels of court pruning) for different court tiers? It makes sense that an Emperor's court could have 100 people in it, but certainly not a lowly Count for example.

@SleazyMonk elderiii Of course!

@The Liberator You can keep a far bigger court and have e.g unlanded dynasty members, and other dynasty members, living in it and having children without penalty.

@BOB99%OP They are easily editable in the file found in common/defines if you like. I recommend using the direct download version of the mod from the forum instead as it's easier to edit. Just extract to your mod folder.

Does this affect AI courts also?

Will this stop pruning AI courts as well?

Well you won't suddenly lose courtiers that you care about. Maybe somebody that you were planning on doing something with later. You go to check on them, and they're gone. Its somewhat unlikely to happen but if you want full immersion, this is an important mod

hmm... I wasn't even aware that this happened. What is the advantage of not getting your court pruned?

This is indeed one of the somewhat smaller but nicer (in my opinion) mods. but is there a way to increase those numbers a tiny bit (a lot) *cuz those are roockie number* that would be nice. =D

'been looking for something of this sort. I think I'd prefer more conservative values (idk, 60?) but I can always just edit the mod itself. Thank you :)

Interesting premise! For those who want the opposite: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1167575191
