It would be nice if there was a "lead from rear" toggle somewhere that reduced your odds of a duel but also lowered your "leading own troops" bonus.

Likelihood of getting an attacking duel opportunity is affected by personality, both in general (the Boldness, Energy, and (when fighting religious enemies) Zeal personality attributes make duels more likely) and in specific (traits like Wrathful, Brave, Berserker and Shieldmaiden, and Impatient make duels more likely)

Introducing some weighting for available rivals/nemeses as battlefield duel targets is a great idea and I'll throw it in shortly (it is already there for things like "does the AI decide to kill you if they beat you?" or "what is the stress impact of a given post-duel choice?")

Is the frequency / likelihood of a duel occurring affected by personality? I'd like to get into duels more often but without just jerking up the frequency game rule and having 6 knights die in every battle. It would also be really cool if you were more likely to enter a duel with your rival / nemesis if they're an enemy knight.

@Rappers: Haven't played CK3 since Khans but I looked at the script when the patch dropped and didn't see any necessary updates, plus I'm running a test game on 1.16.2.3 right now and things seem to be normal. Could you or anyone else reporting issues go into any more detail about what's going wrong on your end?

Isn't working for me, any chance it will be updated to the newest version?

@blazeknave here you go.
plz comment on the mod page if the something is still feeling off.

If you like? I haven't changed Paradox's balancing of the actual single combats at all and I don't really plan to

@Heavenly Weapon Getta I'd appreciate that

I have optimised the combat event so the better fighter win more duel.
Should I publish it as a patch mod?

My bad, I'll look into it this week, I have some time!

just letting you know I tried and it doesn't lol do you think you'll do an update when you get a chance? I really wanna try this out. thanks for responding.

Last time I checked but I haven't tried with the last 1.16 hotfix yet.

does this still work?

You should add a duel event for certain type of assassinations where you can try to defend yourself from the assassin in a duel.

KUDO to you Dallan!!
My fisrt Jamuka game just ended in a spectacularly way. I surely gonna win a war with Temujin but got killed by him in a single combat instead. lol

@jaimeravachi: Prowess does not directly increase the chances, no. Some things that increase Prowess also increase the chances, but the short answer is: have a more aggressive personality, or a zealous one if you're fighting religious enemies.

@Tito: the "leading from front" status is defined in common/scripted_triggers/msc_scripted_triggers.txt.

@Moireach: honestly I haven't had time to check, I should be able to look into it this weekend.

Does this still work on 1.16.0.1?

I tried it today with a 33 prowess character and now it works, thank you!
would you be so kind to tell me which file i need to edit to bring the 15 prowess treshold down a bit?

Does having more prowess increases the chance of getting more duel events? Do I get more events by having 100 prowess than having say, 16 prowess? Or is it just the same no matter the prowess, just that you have more thatn 15?

Currently if you have less than 15 prowess (or 10 with the Stalwart Leader perk from Martial) you're way less likely to receive battlefield duel events as a commander because you are assumed not to be "leading from the front". I do plan to code a decision to choose this status yourself, but until then that's probably the cause of what you're seeing.

yes my character is the commander.
I just checked and most characters had between 5 and 10 prowess.
i dont think any other mod tampers with battle events and I have yours pretty low in the modlist, the only ones even lower being VIET, RICE, CFP, EPE, CE and its compatibility patches.

I play with RICE and VIET and they work together just fine. Is your character in command of the army in battle? What is their prowess? Are you using any other battle event mods?

I dont know if im doing anything wrong, but I play with this mod for a few weeks now and fought a few battles since then, but when my ruler is leading the army, not once have I seen one of the duel events. Im playing with the default chance of duels appearing. I also play with RICE and VIET, is it possible that these mods, being event heavy, somehow arent compatible?

Thank you for the mod !
Please find here it french localisation : {LINK REMOVED}https://pastebin.com/ygHT7P9x

Losing a battlefield duel will always at least add a level of the wounded trait, which will decrease health. If they were already wounded, levels 2 and 3 of the wounded trait can drop health significantly, which might be what you're seeing.

Being captured on its own just gives the prowess penalty - it's mostly a way to remove them from the battle without making you re-raise them as knights if you win.

yes but usually the health doesn´t drop as much, characters usually only get the wounded trait or die. What does happen is that if they lose and get imprisoned while the battle is still going ,their prowess drops by 1000.

Is it normal for a character's health to drop to the lowest level after being captured in battle?

Amazing, thank you.

is it compatible with AGOT Now ?

@shit head: It would absolutely be possible, I'll push an update shortly. To save you time, I'll use precisely that trigger (msc_is_loaded).

@Dallan Great mod. I'd love to make mine compatible. Would it be possible to include a scripted trigger such as msc_is_loaded = { always = yes } in the next update so that users don't need to install a separate compatch?

@CY-RPG:

Assuming that you're not having knights lose three duels in a single battle (which will kill them regardless of the deadliness rule), is there perhaps some other mod loading after this one overriding the single_combat_events.txt file? I think it would still _work_ in that situation but some of the functions added by this mod like that would break.

Sad it's not compatible with AGOT, this mod is the best at what it does. Would love to see a compatch

Why am I still getting healthy knights killed in battle when I've already set the duels to nonlethal in the game option?

Exciting!

I am assuming this mod will need updating for today's patch. I'll try to get to it in the next few days but I'm ALSO building a new computer this weekend (just in time for All Under Heaven, how fortunate) so I may be delayed.

@PakmunD: mostly they replace the base game combat events (at least the "knight/commander wounded" or "knight/commander killed" combat events, which do the same thing as this mod but in less interesting ways)

@Uncle: I should be able to add something like that pretty quickly, I'll see about slipping it into the 1.15 update.

@Dallan would you consider a 0.1 occurrence for duels game rule because it feels like they happen a bit too often at 0.2. Love the mod

Hi, thx for the nice mod! I wanted to ask if the new combat events would block the base game combat events? Or they just run separately.

@Stray: I'll check if there were breaking script changes in 1.14.1 but it's still working fine for me, are you using it with any TCs or other mods that mess with combat phase events or single combat? What exactly is the issue you're seeing - I assume you mean that battlefield duels don't show up?

doesnt seem to work right now

okiedokie thx frend

It's mostly compatible - 1.14 didn't change anything relevant to it. I am planning to update soon anyway with some small changes in response to feedback, but it should work as is..

hey man! does this amazing mod need an update or is it compatible with the current version of the game? i dont want to pressure u, you are probably occupied with ur life to worry ab this mod, so its okiedokies

People seem to use it with AGOT but I think it would need a compatch to be perfectly compatible. I doo't currently play AGOT so if someone wants to do it themselves they absolutely have permission to.

Does this mod work with Agot?

@ramahozo I’ll do that when I have free time to do so then.

@Dallan Well, since we are talking about "rule", you can make a rule for that, but in the end it's your mod so you can do whatever you want with it

@Snakie Try visiting CK3 Mod Coop discord server. Once you understand the syntax, it shouldn't be hard, it's just need time which I don't have right now

@Dallan If I were to make a change like @ramahozo suggested of “Mode Single Combats” only apply to player, where should I start? I would like to try and make one, but I’m not a modder. I want to make it so AI knights take current rule set while making player duel to be always deadly for example.

It probably is true but I prefer to treat players as close to the same as AI characters as possible so I won't be making any changes like that. The game rules I've included should help reduce the fatalities if you change them to your taste.
