Create scripted triggers of cultures based on cultural similiarities for use in the design and implementation of plus-specific events and features in place of hard culture calls.

• specifics TBD

Create script which assigns Plus cultures at the start of the game based on timeline

Apply the metagroups to all of the existing code to remove hard culture and religion calls in mechanics in the core mod, ensuring minimal need for compatching.

After the ambitious rewrite by MightNight, some succession laws are not properly assigned at start-up and some laws' requirements don't properly account for all government types and active DLC.

Furthermore, some succession laws' pass effects seem to activate even when being assigned through automated ways, contrary to the wiki. Hopefully this too can be fixed.

• Add Celtic Pagan religion

• Add Mechanics for Celtic Pagan religion

• Add Societies for Celtic Pagan religion

• Ensure Celtic Pagan has reformation options

1. Special building which represent importance/size of holding. High bonuses to levy size/garrison and tax base with big holdings. Penalty to levy size/garrison and tax base with little/unimportant holdings. Maybe affected by terrain as well. Can be changed by long prosperity,war, epidemics and so on.
2. More unique buildings(can be altered by Great Works)
3. More buildings based on terrain(not just stables)
4. Cultural buildings inspired by HIP mod

The Pope will not join the war, but rather appoint a Papal Legate who will act in his stead (temporary title-holder who will declare the actual war).

Create 3 "unique" combat tactics per culture group

Bloodlines become inactive on characters too far removed from the main-branch who havent held titles in generations. Can be reclaimed under certain circumstances, mimicking the Alexander-bloodline event chain.

• Add general faction events in meetings for members

• Add general faction events for members

• Add cross-faction hostilities/partnerships

• Add more depth to cross-faction hostilities and partnerships (Pending better triggers)

• Add faction revolts (Pending better triggers)

Split Germanic (Saxon) religion from Norse Germanic and make give it enough flavor to actually be interesting to play.

• Split Saxon into its own religion away from Norse

• Make Saxon religion more defense-based and semi-mystical

• Add flavor based on Anglo-Saxon mythology and beliefs due to lack of surviving Continental Saxon sources

CAUTION due to the potential unreliability of sources. Much information on the non-Norse versions of this religion have been largely destroyed

The 1st Crusade doesnt feel as groundbreaking in-game as it ought to. Needs a bit more tension and event-chainyness. Also, it was (officially) undertaken to restore the ERE's borders in order to rebuff the Muslims and the majority of the Crusade's leaders even swore an oath to the Emperor (which they immediately broke, but w/e). Would be nice to include as well, if only for fluff.

• Add 5 Major Factions

• Add Faction Meeting Core

• Rebalance All Vanilla Traits so that all have some use
• Add new CK2+ personality & congenital traits
• Provide basic gameplay integration for the new traits by writing events that assign them

Port over non-vanilla ambitions from the old Plus branch, to give the player more choices

• Write scripted effects that automatically provide an alert to the player when a trait is added/lost. These should be used whenever a trait is assigned by chance from a random/random_list or through a hidden tooltip effect. The player should always know when they have gained/lost a trait!
• Write alert events (lost/gained) for the new personality traits (and vanilla traits that are missing them).
• Replace vanilla bland personality trait removal events with immersive events that allow player interaction/choice of the trait to remove, while still enforcing the removal of a trait.

Only emperor-tier and powerful kings can request Papal coronation/baptism. Depending on distance from Rome, a Papal legate will be send if request is accepted

• Re-add CK2Plus's Hellenic religion (name it greek_pagan to avoid vanilla conflicts)

• Modify Vanilla's Hellenic pagan to be Roman Pagan

• Blend Vanilla's mechanics with new Plus mechanics to make both variants enjoyably playable

• Add Promethean as either a heresy or a society (modder's choice)

Note: If re-adding the secret societies (e.g. Mithraism) from old CK2Plus, make them societies, not traits.

Note 2: Remember, no copy/paste allowed to ensure the code is up-to-date with current available modding tools and properly efficient.

Features TBD. Research required.

CAUTION due to the potential unreliability of sources. This religion has been heavily slandered over the centuries.

• Implement Canaanite religion to represent the pre-judaism faith of the tribes of Israel.

• Give Canaanite religion some Jewish mechanics as they are directly linked

• Flavor events relating to sacred duty to care for parents. Sons were responsible for burials and maintenance of tombs.

More info TBD

Create scripted triggers of religions based on religious similiarities for use in the design and implementation of plus-specific events and features in place of hard religion calls.

specifics TBD

As title

• Add Bihari

Split off Indo-Aryan into groups.

1. Western ( Rajput, Punjabi, Gujarati, Sindhi)
2. Eastern ( Orissa, Assamesse, Bengal, Bihari)
3. Central ( Hindustani, Marathi, Sinhala)

Re-introduce Plus's titular titles. List to come.

Landless nobles may attempt to gather a host and join the Crusade to claim territory for themselves (or just b/c deus vult)

Kings, emperors and powerful vassals can appoint lesser lords or unlanded relatives as their representatives (temporary title ala adventurer's host: Commander of [Nation] Crusader Host) in the Crusade, allowing them not to join the actual war without the Papal-malus hitting them.

(Not to be confused with Metagroups, which are a scripted backend system for use in events.)
"Supergroups" would be larger groups that encompass several culture_groups, and provide an opinion bonus between those, effectively simulating a third layer above those currently ingame. This would help to mitigate gameplay upsets from the culture group splitting.
An example would be e.g. "Slavic" which consists of west_slavic, east_slavic and south_slavic, and provides <culture_group>_opinion boni between each.

• decide on what culture_groups should make up a "supergroup"
• implement opinion boni between these
• provide opinion boni between "hybrid" cultures that should be part of 2 culture_groups. Examples would be Nepali (in Central Aryan, bonus towards Tibetan group), Occitan (Occitano-Romance, bonus towards Gallo-Roman) and Catalan (Occitano-Romance, bonus towards Iberian).

Create old CK2+ retinues system (3 "unique" retinues types per culture group)

Move/rename

• Altaic -> Turkic
• Georgian -> Kartvelian

Copy/give access to

• Indo-Aryan -> East-Aryan, West-Aryan
• Iranian -> East-Iranian

Uncomment/restore

• Maghrebi

Add

• Chadic
• Cushitic
• North-East Caucasian (use Georgian/Kartvelian for now?)
• North-West Causasian (use Georgian/Kartvelian for now?)
• Nuristani (or use another group's units)
• Occitano-Romance
• Samodeic
• Tungusic

Features TBD. Research required.

More TBD

• Ensure Kemetic Pagan has reformation options

• Rename "Bön" to Tibetan Pagan

Split Iranian (~same tier and thus treatment as Indo-Aryan):

1. Western Iranian (Kurdish, Baloch, Daylamite, Persian, Luri)
2. Eastern Iranian (Saka, Khwarezmian, Sogdian, Afghan[Pashto], Alan)

• move Azerbaijian to Turkic because apparently it isn't an Iranian culture (my mistake). And maybe also rename them to "Azeri" because it sounds more... idk, archaic, and less like the modern country.
• move Alan back to Iranian (eastern), because Caucasian is to be split and they would then belong here (as before).

(All credit for ideas go to Wikipedia)
