More Forgiving Loyalty

Trust no-thing, especially yourself. While I think loyalty's a flavorful system, it can be annoying to keep all of your lords happy, when something as small as removing an item or simply hitting end turn can cause a downward spiral to army disband. Completely removing the system means missing out on some interesting dilemma effects though, so I wanted to make a happy medium. This mod basically makes it so that for a lord to rebel, you have to be doing extremely poorly, intentionally treating them like garbage, or choosing -loyalty dilemma options. You know, actual reasons one might want to rebel.

This mod affects all factions that use loyalty. If instead you just don't want to deal with loyalty in any form (dilemmas or otherwise), try this alternate mod which should remove it entirely: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2853058175



Is this savegame compatible?
-It should be able to be added and removed without issue, as it primarily modifies the percentage chances after certain events. Do let me know if problems arise though.

Mod conflicts?
-This only touches a few strings relating to loyalty campaign features and variables, so should be relatively safe. It's not compatible with Loyalty Removed, for obvious reasons.



-Battle outcomes with the lord keep the 1/2/3 loss/gain on close/decisive/crushing defeats or close/decisive/heroic victories respectively, but victories are 50% (100% for heroic) chance rather than 15-25%.
-Gain on completing a mission increased to 100% chance from 40%, loss from failing missions unchanged from 50%.
-Base chance of loss on end of turn removed. Loss related to lord being higher level than faction leader unchanged from 10% chance, gain related to lord being lower level increased to 10% chance from 5%.
-Loss on unequipping items removed, 40% chance to gain on equipping items unchanged, up to loyalty 5.
-Recruiting or disbanding units from the stack have a 25%/10% chance for gain or loss respectively, up/down to loyalty 5.
-Chance of loss from replacing the lord reduced to 20% from 50%.
-Loss and gain from signing treaties with the 'appropriate/inappropriate' factions is removed.
-'Chaining' loss from other lords defecting is removed.


-Chance for a loyalty dilemma upon hitting low loyalty increased to 50% from 33%.
-Chance for a loyalty dilemma upon hitting critically low loyalty increased to 75% from 50%.
-Starting loyalty level uncertainty range altered to 3 from 5.
