Thank you! i was never fond of the way paradox implemented legitimacy

Updated, let me know if there are any issues.

Take your time!

Hey guys. The update is big and the mod has grown big too. I'll try to find time to update everything properly. You can use the usual basic method (removing "legitimacy=yes" from the government types folder) in the meantime.

The mod seems to have been broken a little by the latest update due to the Realm tab update.

Thank you so much Loken!

Thank God.

Updated for 1.15.0. Vassalization legitimacy modifiers now should not appear under any circumstances (unless the mod is not last in the loading order).
Bug reports are appreciated as usual.

I think the last update broke this mod... please update? :(

So this mod is pretty neat. However, the legitimacy mechanic is still in force when it comes to vassalising someone. In fact, since installing the mod I'm pretty sure my legitimacy has gone down when it comes to vassalising rulers

Legitimacy is so fucking annoying. I use the legitimacy loss over time mod (cause you can gain it too) usually but this mod is more appropriate for historical settings where might makes right rather then legitimacy (like the fallen eagle mod).

Thanks for the update, been waiting for this to play the game

Thank you so much for the update, I can finally play this game again!

pleaseeee update i can't fucking play with this bullshit mechanic

Just want to say thanks for the mod! The distinction between Legitimacy and Prestige always felt completely arbitrary for me in the ever since they introduced the mechanic, this makes more sense.

You can download previous version from google disc:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JpCdarJTGqKlczIKRVv2WSR8qk3oYhhL?usp=sharing

Needs to be installed manually then.

As for total conversions please read compatibility section. Not compatible by default due to the way of how legitimacy works. You can try making your own compatibility patch by going to the total conversion mod steam folder, common/governments/00_government_types.txt, removing all lines with "legitimacy=yes" and copying that file into common/governments/ folder of this mod steam folder.
(if mod introduces more government files the same applies to them, too).

If the target mod extensively edits vanilla files, activities, decisions, etc. then more tweaking would be required though.

The new update will not work with 1.12.5, is there a way to go back to the previous update

Crashes when combined with After the End. Why?

Updated for RtP.
Revamped all events and decisions that use legitimacy and are not checked with the trigger in vanilla("has_legitimacy = yes"), that's a lot of stuff and some bugs are bound to happen.
Bug reports are appreciated.
Intended for use with vanilla and mods that don't edit vanilla files for now.

On the other hand, removed some stuff that might get in the way of compatibility in the future.

Ok! Thank you! :)

It won't work without update because there's a lot of new content in RtP that relies on legitimacy (and doesn't always use triggers properly).
Still fixing and testing, so update is at least several days away.

mod is outdated. Still works?

Yeah, understand what you want. For me personnaly Top Priority is to remove the System, since it kills Game Balance in my Opinion.
Will use your Mod again when it works, but for now this is good enough for me.

skela, yes, technically it is enough if you are ok with still seeing it in almost every tooltip and description.

Also some LotD content becomes broken/useless.

OK, following my own advice and a quick test without any Mods - works. No Legitimacy at all :)

Is it not enough to edit "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Crusader Kings III\game\common\governments\00_government_types.txt" and set "legitimacy = yes" to "no" for every type that has the system?

Guvenoren, no, there's no official way to disable it.
As unsurprising as this answer may be.

Hey everyone.
Glad to hear it's useful. Planning to update in 1-2 weeks after the RtP release, depends on the number of changes.
HolyMolyOllyPoly, yeah, EK2 or any total conversions will require compatibility patches, alas.
References to the L-mechanic are scattered far and wide, but biggest one is government_types.txt, which has to be overwritten and makes every TC incompatible.

There are some changes to how governments are defined, will see if it brings any improvements.

From the videos of new DLC, it is still being unconditionally displayed in the realm view, in trait descriptions, etc. Even to admin vassals and landless, which shouldn't have it in the first place. All this will still require overwriting files to fix.

Great mod, a big relief to Paradox's latest headache-inducing feature. Unfortunate that it's somewhat incompatible with EK2 in that it prevents one from selecting a patron god, though. :/

Very good mod, makes the game more enjoyable. Last straw for me was taking monastic traditions into culture only to discover each monk child still chunks you by 80 legitimacy lmao, making the entire tradition pretty much worthless, not balanced that thoroughly eh, not to mention how annoying it is to discover. Plus, of course, huge random plague hits too that you have no input over whatsoever.

我很喜欢，感谢

So I obviously don't own the DLC.
Is there no way to disable this legitimately? Like, just via settings? This mechanic is bullshit:

It's a nice mod, I hate this crap that Paradox introduces here.
I use a cheat mod as an alternative and always keep my legitimacy at 5/5
A mod like that would be great that always keeps the legitimacy at 5 :)

wait how can I offer vassalage if it says I need 3 or higher legitimacy in order to do so?

I swear I want to kill that fat slob that is the game director

he is both the hero we wanted and needed

>dont own royal court or legends
>still get fucked by plagues
>all ways of raising legitimacy give like 1 point
>hated by all vassals despite not being a tyrant
thanks for making the base game playable again

Thank you so much for making this mod.

Kind of scummy for paradox punishing you for not buying the dlc.

Would it be possible to set expected legitimacy to 0 for everything so legitimacy gain and loss are functionally pointless? Also thank you for this mod it is going into my next run!

Now I feel like playing ck3 for the first time in months.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

I hate legitimacy so much and it makes the game nearly unplayable.

Thank you, I can now play the game again without my vassals revolting against me over things that are entirely outside my control.

Thank you!

thank you! <3

Since Paradox does the usual and keeps destroying their base games with trash DLCs that you HAVE to buy to enjoy the game at least a little longer, this is a life saver :)

Cool!

Nice. Thanks for this mod! This mechanic is not only a duplicate of others, but it tries to force you to buy the dlcs in order to have enough ways to increase it.

Thank you for this. Worst mechanic to be added to this game.

yay i have the will to play this game again

thank you SO MUCH for making this mod
