Core: Legitimacy/Control Mechanic about ck2plus_rewrite HOT 8 OPEN

For which title tiers do we want to implement these two mechanics?

from ck2plus_rewrite.

I was thinking of making them universal

from ck2plus_rewrite.

In that case, we'll no doubt have to keep performance in mind while implementing this. I'm fairly certain we can calculate a weighted average opinion of the top 10 or 20 vassals, possibly all of them. Probably best to do that on_yearly_pulse.

from ck2plus_rewrite.

It could probably be calculated on the fly whenever we need it by manipulating realm_character_percent.

Legitimacy would likely be a bunch of math (still waking up for the day, haven't thought of all of the variables yet) divided by ruled_years.

Ideally, they'd both be variables that are only calculated when they're needed instead of having to be stored somewhere

from ck2plus_rewrite.

That last part can be done if we recalculate upon game start and loading a save and set the variables to zero, so they won't be part of the save itself.

from ck2plus_rewrite.

I'm thinking it shouldn't need to be stored at all. When we settle on a formula for them we can just have the engine do the math whenever it's needed. A succession/monthly pulse that influences revolt risk, for instance. They numbers themselves aren't important enough to save between calculations (besides, that tends to lead to a mana feeling and having to account for changing the number in nearly every event and that's just ugh annoying)

The simpler this can be, the better. I'll leave you to it.

So I think for control it should be something like this:

realm_control = {
	# High Control
	trigger_if = {
		limit = {
			realm_character_percent = {
				target = 50.0
				opinion = { who = ROOT value = 25 }
			}

			# Some Action Here
		}
	}
	# Mid Control
	trigger_else_if = {
		limit = {
			realm_character_percent = {
				target = 25.0
				opinion = { who = ROOT value = 25 }
			}
		}

		# Some Action Here

	}
	# Low Control
	trigger_else = {

		# Some Action Here

	}
}
