Would it be easy to cut from this mode decision to form any archduchy and leave just extra content for Austria?

This mod adds a decision that mimics the unique Austria decision to form an archduchy, but makes it available to any duke within the Holy Roman Empire. An archduke is functionally equivalent to a king, just with a different title. I made it primarily for roleplay but added some extra content for fun.

Taking the decision to become an archduke comes with a short event chain that has the potential to give you in-game bonuses that reflect the historical privileges Austria received in the HRE. You can also make a historically inspired artifact that gives the owner the marriage acceptance bonus perk.

Thanks for pointing that stuff out! I just released an update that should fix the 'commission archducal hat' decision being visible for everyone.

For Austria being destroyed, I can't replicate your issue, but I have a few ideas. The mod is designed so that only one archduchy can be formed, vanilla or otherwise. It uses the same code flag from the vanilla decision meaning if Austria makes an one normally the decision should disappear. If you're using a custom bookmark or something that adds in the Archduchy of Austria through other means, that could be causing your issue as there would be no flag. Regardless, I've added an additional trigger that will check for the existence of the archduchy itself so it should fix that.

I might make more streamlined versions of the mod that add the artifact and decision in separately. Right now I'm essentially reformatting the k_austria which is preloaded into the game start, working on finding something more elegant to allow multiple.

Short Question

I took this mod in my modpack for austria because of the archducal hat [qould be nice, if that would be an independet mod for the archduchy of austria ] and had those problems so far:


when the archduchy of austria is formed, and you form, for example, the archduchy of nordgau, it gets destroyed and the land gets de-jure of nordgau.

Also, when austria isn´t formed, it isn´t possible after you take the desicion for an other archduchy.

Futhermore, the desicion of the commission of the archducal hat can do every character.

Are those only problems in my games?


But despite these problems, it's a nice idea and a great mod so far.

what does it do?

Let me know what you think about the difficulty of the requirements for the decision. Considering adding an optional 'legendary figure' prestige level requirement that will allow you to bypass some of the hook requirements in light of your inherently influential status
