When having the +0, for me it was when I also had the University Mod installed, that adds books with +0,5 bonuses, that are shown as +0. When I found a real book of the mod, see the list, it had its modifiers.

Still +0 bonus

Incredible work on the books, sadly for some reason they give +0 bonus, but still serve well as gifts and lore immersion (improves sieges and raiding by a lot)

French Traduction ?

please revive this mod brother

this doesnt work with HIP

I think this is a "RIP" mod... :-(

+0 bonus, this mod is dead

Is it possible to fine tune the books to have a lower spawn rate?

Yeet

Please post a link for external download

Compatible with HIP Frosty2?

Any idea whats causing books to have a +0 bonus?

The works of Galen would be very good ones for a mod. His medical work would give a real boost to hospitals, perhaps opening tech early, like separated wards and surgical observatory. Going from treating gladiators, aristocrats and the Emperor all the way to designing hospitals and treatment regimens for the Roman Army, Galen covered so much in the way of medicine that it isn't funny. Even when Muslims had translations of his works they weren't implemented. A good diet, psychological treatment for the mentally ill, advanced medical tools and how to use them... the list of what he documented isn't funny. Galen based hospitals would be very advanced and offer some treatments that could keep characters alive in CKII. Its not like his works were unknown but were discounted or seen as nearly heretical in some places due to the practices involved. Risk the ire of the Church or build a decent hospital far more effective than the CKII standard...that would be a great decision to have.

@CaesarTheRoman

Hi, not sure if you're still active, I just wanted to ask about HIP's latest update compatibility with your mod. I can also see many people asking about the 0 bonus from books. Is this happening because of the stacking or it's a general bug?

Cheers!

@author is this mod updated for HIP Frosty1? thanks in advance and happy new year!

No idea if this works, as I can't find any of the books.

Can confirm that books acquired with raiding give 0 bonus. Any fix would be appreciated.

What about the newest version?

I have noticed the same issue that @Iksander had. All the books I have picked up during sieges (I am no raider, just general sieges in war) and that give me the 'translate' option, give 0 bonus. Have you found any issues in relation to this?

Can you provide us with a *direct* link in here plz, m8? Cause I can't see your mod in my list, no matter how many times I sub/unsub...

@CaesarTheRoman Do these books only spawn after the date they were originally written/published?

Is there a learning requirement like is common with many of the game books? Especially the Chinese books shouldn't be legible by the avg. ruler.

@CaesarTheRoman Ok. One more clarification: I was playing as a raider and collecting lots and lots of books through raiding and that is where things went wrong, I think. As I also saw plenty of books give the proper + bonus on AI characters, it was just most of the ones I stole through raiding were not giving any bonus.

@Iskander The artifacts in this mod are all tagged as 'book' so they may be getting picked up by an event that doesn't handle them properly? Not sure. I'll check it out and update if needed.
@Philip Much appreciated, added them to a list, thanks. Will add more at some point.

I also have other ones that I think should be added

Chronica Majora by Matthew Paris
Words on the Wars by Procopius of Caesarea
La Chanson de Roland by Unknown
Devisement du Monde by Marco Polo

Ave Caesar! Great mod! But I've been seeing a LOT of books give 0 bonus. I do run several other mods, so any known mod conflicts? I "think" it might be related to the "pay 50 gold to translate" event?

Some mods I run that might be causing trouble: All Artifacts at Once, No Artifact Losing?

This is a fantastic mod so far!

Here are some books that should be added:
Vita Constantini by Eusebius of Caesarea
Divina Commedia by Dante Alighieri
Summa Theologica by St. Thomas Aquinas
Alexiad by Anna Komnene
Synopsis of Histories by John Skylitzes
Chronographia by Michael Psellos
Chroniques by Jean Froissart
Life of Saint Louis by Jean de Joinville
The Deeds of Louis the Fat by Abbot Suger

Thanks!

Historical Immersion Project, big mod for CK2, you can get it on Paradox Forums.

Whats HIP?

@Kreg Thanks!
@Brigge I have tested and yes, it works with HIP.

This really should be implemented with the base game. You deserve payment!

Does it work with HIP?

when I input the debug titles ("cbs_x") for some of the books in console commands it says invalid artifact

I have to ask...do you need to start a new game for the mod to take hold of your savegame?

Hi Ceasar, i wanted to share a tip.
If in the interface file (cbs_books) in your mod, you specify it to be a jpg file rather than a dds then the game will recognize it.
removing the need to convert everything in to dds

Suggestions noted, thanks.

Very cool, I'm happy to see Henry of Livonia's Chronicle in here!

Maybe you could add the Livonian Rhymed Chronicle as well? It's in Middle German and very Martial.

Tip: Rename "Dnyaneshwari" to "Gyaneshwari".

The transliteration of "Gya" is faulty in English so they often mistranslate it to "Jna" or "Dnya" or such. The correct is still "Gya".

Ole Cranky Gamer You can use Canterbury Tales for your rl seduction actions. Well, at least you can try...

This is brilliant. I second Clouseau's recommendations, especially the Canterbury tales. Lustful and that book will make seduction interesting

Some sugestions:
-Summa Theologica;
-Confessions of St. Augustine;
-The City of God;
-Summa contra Gentilles;
- Legenda Aurea;
-The Decameron;
-The Divine Comedy;
-Il Canzoniere;
-The Canterbury Tales;
-The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle;
-Grandes Chroniques de France;
-The Guide for the Perplexed.

@Windmarq the book of death is in the vanilla game. You can attempt in an event chain if you have if you have supernatural events on.

@Windmarq
Unlikely. I wanted this mod to mostly contain books that were contemporaneous with CK2 timeline. Ancient/mythical books might be good content for another mod though.

@Chuck
Both 'Gallic Wars' and 'Civil War' are in there ;)

Wow no Caeser's Commentaries.

Will there be ancient or mythical books?like book of death etc.

@Avner
Thanks

@Horse
There is one African book that spawns, the Sundiata Kieta. Arab works spawn in North Africa too.

@Douglas J. Falcon
Should do, currently trying to get access to CK2 forums so I download the big mods and test it myself.

A few book ideas,

Dead Sea Scrolls
The Mishnah
The Talmud
Kamasutra
Domesday Book
Meditations

Im guessing none of these spawn for African cultures as they are mainly oral histories? At least prior to Muslim conversion.
