Still works.

update needed for Invictus?

So I have been doing some bug testing with this mod and I think I have narrowed down the issue I was having:

The way this mod works is by assigning you to your capital legion which, in normal play, will always be listed first because the legion tab is ordered by when a region was first conquered.

If you move your capital to a new region, you can still use it, but it requires that you not have any legion in any region which comes before your capital. If a legion exists (even with no units) above your capital region, it will just say "create a legion first."

You can reset this if you completely release a region as vassals, then annex (incredibly tedious unless you use the console), but it is an option.

I don't know if this mod is still being worked on and I lack the skill to fix it, but I figured I'd say this for the benefit of anyone having issues.

new Invictus update

Hello, author. Do you think the official will add mechanism horse? I asked about this in update 2.05. Thanks for the mod as well.
I always had a problem when playing, is that if the character system is not able to control loyalty then the value of the army is far more negative than positive, this game is very difficult to win more, most of the crowd tactics to drain the morale of the opposite side. So there's no need for a Roman legion bonus at all.
Here are my comments in the update:
"Not all the places at that time were Roman legionaries, please let the monarchs of the monarchy have a chance to become commanders. Give the player a chance to experience the mechanics of a king leading an army like Alexander in classical times. Not by player mods, and that's not historically true."

Can't wait to redo a xiongnu run with Luandi Legions!!! Thanks!

That is why you put my mod below. My mod needs to put the king in the legion tab.

Invictus and your mod change the same file it looks like. Won't that break something?

Imperator: Invictus :
gui\military_view.gui

Yes you should put it below invictus.

Should this be below Invictus and other mods in the launcher?

It seems that if you take a decision that changes your capital region, the mod breaks.

I took the Indo-Greek Kingdom decision from Invictus and now, my king cannot be placed in command of a legion. This despite the fact that when my capital was still Bactria, it could.

i think there is a bug where if the leader is comanding a legion, it dosent get any traits (the legion).

As soon as i made someone else comand the legion it started getting traits.

There is bug when you put your ruler to lead legion and when he dies - he stays in the legion. In my campaign most of cohorts were loyal to him and so I coudn't replace him

Does this work with Terra Indomita and Invictus too?

Great mod! - made all the difference to me in vanilla

Thunder bear, it is possible to make the co consul command a levy army.... for about a millisecond. The game rejects the jankiness and will disband the levy automatically.

@helmin thank you.

@mezzo can you find me on discord please, seems like you have specifically discovered something weird and i need more information

I was considering making a mod like this until I found out someone already had the idea (and much better executed than mine would be) Thanks for this great mod

Is there anyway to make the co-consul more useful militarily? If you can have a consul as the governor are you able to mod to allow the co-consul also a governor and thus lead armies? (levy armies)

-I started as Epirus
-Everything went well
-Until I changed the country Epirus > Macedon
-Capital changed Ambracia > Pella
-King is dead
-Long live the King!
-Hold on, He cannot command the legion
-WTF?
-Deleted and re-raised a legion of the capital region
-Nothing has changed
-Wtf again?
-Help

@Everyone pls report anything weird especially with characters moving countries like our favourite Epirote King

Modder please fix your mod. We need that reliquish command option appearing

I might have written that down wrong tbh. I had already deleted that line when I commented and migt have forgotten the exact wording, but ruler_is_a_commander alone should be enough to find it.

From comments below from NONOPUST and Slask I've created a save file in debug mode so I'm able to view,edit and make changes to the save file but I can't find any line that shows either...

modifier={
modifier="ruler_is_a_commander"
start_date=450.10.1
date=451.10.1
}

From NONOPUST

or
has_character_modifier = ruler_is_a_commander
from the first option of commander_ruler_events.2

From Slask

I've used the find function but nothing is coming up

Seems that removing the line
has_character_modifier = ruler_is_a_commander
from the first option of commander_ruler_events.2 will make that option remain no matter what, always allowing you to relinquish command. This might break something in a way I can't predict, but it seems to work just fine for me.

Ruler of Rome can't take command of legion?

Scratch that... not working still unable to relinquish command with no event occurring that removes your ruler

I having similar issues re the relinquish bug... from what i can tell if you ask your ruler to command your legion and for whatever reason they temporary disappears (in my case Pyrrhus gets temporarily deposed to one of the successor kingdom) whilst commanding that legion it seems to bug it out.

So I'm guessing to be careful whilst asking your ruler to command your legion in case any event takes them away.

Haven't tested it yet but hopefully it might be able get a resolution if possible

For anyone looking to fix their current game with the relinquish bug:

Edit your savegame in Notepad++ and add the following to the end of your current ruler and save (change the dates to match your current time)

modifier={
modifier="ruler_is_a_commander"
start_date=450.10.1
date=451.10.1
}

Once reloaded you should be able to relinquish command

Same as Caesar: I am unable to relinquish command of my legion. I am not sure but it may be related to trying to relinquish while the legion was locked in motion and therefore took the modifier for commander off but didn't actually remove him as commander. Now it is stuck for multiple reigns on not being able to relinquish

Ruler of Rome can't take command of legion?

I am unable to relinquish command of legions after taking command. Using with Invictus

My ruler died while leading a legion and now as his heir i cant relinquish command and i want him to lead a legion, any way to fix it? tried removing the mod then adding it back a few months later ingame and still no way to relinquis command.

@Coach the current status of the mod is "Working fine"
@kuro Kenshi - Lots of people want this feature.

COOL, although a little bit strange

So now King can command the main legion and capital's province levies at the same time?

good evening sir, may I inquire as to the current status of the mod?

https://github.com/II-Paulus-II/Commander_Kings

I will soon be updating to steam with this version of the mod. PLEASE NOTICE THAT AN UPDATE THAT WILL BREAK SAVES IS COMING

OK PEOPLE USING THIS MOD - I WILL BE UPDATING THIS VERY VERY SOON BUT I WILL BE CHANGING THE MECHANICS OF THE MOD SO IT WILL BREAK SAVE GAMES IF YOU HAVE A KING IN COMMAND OF A LEGION.

Hi all, I will be updating this when I can. I will try and wait till the 2.0.4 patch is fully released.

Further, there are a few things that need to be ironed out which require a lot of work actually.

so after i remove regent and appoint it again but sadly my king can't lead the legion again

HI I got it working but now its not have y updated it and i even just change the main file in setup but still not working

Hey Paulus, could you give Heir Apparent a bigger attraction modifier? Now it is very difficult to appoint an heir as the first born gets a 3500 attraction. It should be a fairly easy change I think. Could you look it up? Thanks!

Hi there! Just wanna say thank you for adding this possibility to rule legion with king in that mod. I already tasted and enjoyed it but honestly i think there is still some issues to fix or possibilities to add for it, some little improvements and etc. Are you plan to uptade this mod in future? Thanks

Hi! The looting event after the battle in the capital only appears for the ruler. Is there a way to make this event available to everyone?

Can a mod be made to allow for consuls to run the legion too ?

lol

Yes but that mod makes my game freeze for 2 seconds every month and in the two games I've played with it Rome has gotten destroyed in the first 40 years.

Invictus has integrated that feature you know.

This mod is the only thing keeping me from uninstalling the game after I realized Pyyhrus could lead a band of farmers but not a legion. Thanks for making this.

Really sad that it doesn't work with a Bigger Government. :(
Please update it to work with it, this and Bigger Government together is an excellent combination that should be implemented actually in the game.

No problem! Was just curious :)
