  • Applies currently to Major Migrations
• Migrations:
  • Major Migrations now cause reduction in development in counties, weighted by how many minorities the county has after migration
    • The larger the minority (or majority), the greater the damage

• Added game rule restricting the creation of de jure titles if the ruler's primary title is titular; off by default and has an "AI only" variant as well.

New Mechanics:

• The Senate:
  • Created two Senate institutions, with Roman and Constantinopolitan Senates, instead of having them on the map as a title
  • The institution is interactable through the GUI as a new menu item
  • Senate Interactions:
    • Request Recognition:
      • An event fires several days after taking the Senate Seat, where the Consul requests that you request Senatorial recognition
      • You can Accept, Ignore the Senate, or Stall; all actions costing prestige and conferring modifiers
      • After that event, players may request through the GUI that the Senate recognize them if they chose to stall instead of making a decision
    • Rather than a decision, players may disestablish the Senate in the GUI if they are not a Roman-type culture or a Roman government
  • Senatorial Recognition:
    • Getting the recognition of the Senate confers a modifier which negates short-reign penalties, at the cost of prestige, but also gains an opinion bump with Senators
    • Ignoring the Senate gains one prestige at the cost of an opinion malus with Senators
    • Stalling the Senate hurts one's opinion with Senators, and each new consul will both the Senate Seat top liege, requesting that they seek the approval of the Senate
  • Senate Character Interactions:
    • The top liege of the Senate seat (Rome or Constantinople for East and West, respectively) and the consul may use Senate Interactions
    • They may nominate a new Senator from characters in the "Senatorial Regions" around the Senate Seats or within the top liege of the Senate Holder's realm
    • They may elevate dynasties to join the ranks of the senate
    • The top liege of the Senate Seat may also nominate the next consul
    • However, Senators react negatively to such interference by the top holder and such actions give negative opinion modifiers and cost variable prestige (depending on the nominee's traits and standing)
  • Senatorial Families:
    • Senatorial families have some implicit modifiers, granting prestige gain for dynasty members as well as bolstering diplomacy and intrigue
    • Senatorial families expect to have a certain number of non-capital (or capital) baronies in their family
    • Senatorial family dynasts will bother the holder of the Senate seat if their family has fewer holdings than desired
      • Accepting grants a random non-capital barony to the Senator's family at the cost of aggrivating vassals
      • Refusing irritates the whole Senate
  • Traits and Modifiers:
    • Senators for both the East and West have traits which denote their membership and provide some prestige gain
    • The Consuls have a character modifier indicating their consulship
    • Previous Consuls have a trait indicating their prior consulship
    • These Traits have additional, culture-related modifiers
  • Senate leadership is elected yearly
    • The Senate will behave somewhat autonomously, electing Consuls every January, or sooner if the consul dies mid-term, from among their ranks
    • Players may nominate Consuls if they hold the Senate Seat, annoying the Senate but giving their nominee prestige and renown, as well as making them next consul
  • Senate and Title Revocation:
    • Revoking non-capital baronies from Senators without a revocation reason angers all Senators
    • Applies even for bureaucratic and gubernatorial governments (who otherwise have very liberal revocation rules)
    • This does not extend to Senators with counties or greater
  • Either of the Senates may collapse if no senator is available to maintain the Senate's functions
  • Rajamandala and Eranshahr governments cannot request interact with the Senate, as they function under very different understanding of universality than the Roman Empire
  • Senatorial approval and disapproval comes with legitimacy gain and loss, modified by government type, held titles, and culture features
• Title Creation:
  • Titular Cultural Titles and related concepts removed
  • Holding only Titular Kingdoms or Empires prevents you from creating de jure kingdoms and empires
  • Added a decision for making titular Kingdoms into de jure Kingdoms for characters who cannot establish Roman empires, or for land outside the Roman Empire
    • Only available to non-tribal, non-nomad, non-Gubernatorial governments
    • Requirements:
      • Have held the duchy in which the capital county resides for at least 30 years
      • Complete control of at least two duchies within the same de jure kingdom, one of which is the capital duchy
      • The capital duchy is your culture and faith
      • Your culture has Social Stratification and Writing Innovations
      • Legitimacy Level of 3
      • Prestige Level of 5
      • Maximum Crown-Type Authority if government has it, or sufficient fedualization for Sub-Roman governments
  • Added a decision for replacing de jure Roman Provinces with titular Kingdoms for characters who can establish Roman empires, for land within the Roman Empire
    • Similar to the above, but requires complete control of the associated kingdom
    • Prestige prices increases quadratically with the degree of feudalization in the Realm
    • Also requires Legal Codex Innovation
  • Added a decision for making titular Empires de jure
  • Added a decision for making titular Roman Empires de jure

WtWSMS Mechanics, from Previous Releases:

• Minorities:
  • Faith Conversion (by event/decision/interface): a large minority of your old faith will still exist in your capital if you convert
  • Culture creation removes parent culture minorities in counties of the new culture
  • If a hybrid or diverged culture is within the cooldown period, the parent cultures are subsumed instead of becoming a minority when the county culture changes
