Historical Bloodlines 1066

Ever get tired of how the smaller bloodlines die out in a few generations, because AI is so random? Or you simply don't want to spend time and energy hunting down all the bloodline descendants for matrilineal marriages?

This mod solves these problems. Achievement incompatible. Ironman compatible. Save game incompatible. Can't say anything about compatibility with other mods. Can say only that it replaces a few files in the history and common folder.

This mod combines all, but three, historical bloodlines from 1066 into one character — High Chieftess Dana of Zemigallians — from the oldest surviving dynasty in the game - Alt Clut. The other two bloodlines — that of El Cid and Arwa Sulayhid — are inherited by Dana's twin courtiers Rashid and Aisha Sulayhids. Another bloodline — that of Matilda di Canossa — is left out, because it's not a "real" historical bloodline, since it's only obtainable through a specific decision in specific circumstances by a human player. The bloodline of William the Conqueror will be inherited by Dana, if the bastard duke conquers the throne of England. Finally, as a backup, Dana has a twin brother Edgar — a carrier of all the same bloodlines.

All four twins are attractive and strong lefthanded geniuses. Having a twin allows for more marriage combinations and some back ups in case one of the twins dies prematurely or does not produce a child of the required gender. Remember that to integrate all bloodlines into one character, you will need to use matrilineal marriages. I made the Magajiva and Arwa bloodlines patrilineally inheritable to prevent them from being lost by the male carriers in patrilineal marriages.

From here, you have several options:

1. Keep playing as Dana, Romuvan Lettigallian tribal High Chieftess of Zemigallians. Take Rashid Sulayhid as your matrilineal spouse.
2. Impregnate your daughter through a console command by Edgar Alt Clut and ensure that the bastard child is legitimized and becomes your heir. Proceed to integrate Arwa and El Cid's descendants, as the situation allows.
3. Ensure a matrilineal marriage between your kinswoman and Edgar and hope that it produces a heir down the line. Proceed to integrate Arwa and El Cid's descendants, as the situation allows.
4. Grant the title that you actually want to start with to Dana via console and, optionally, give up the chiefdom and high chiefdom of Zemigallians. Convert to whichever religion and culture you wish. Next, do the same thing as in point 1.

Useful console commands to know (press ~ to access, press Enter to execute, press ~ again to disable the console):

- charinfo: shows the character's ID or title's ID (hover with the cursor above the character or the coat of arms respectively); type charinfo again to disable;
- give_title [title ID] [character ID] - grant the specified title to the specified character;
- imprison [character ID 1][character ID 2] - imprison the specified character 1 by the specified character 2;
- age [character ID] [age in numbers] - makes the specified character older by the specified number of years;
- pollinate [female character ID] [male character ID] - makes the specified female character pregnant by the specified male character;
- yesman - makes the AI agree to anything.

Note: the square brackets are here only for demonstration purposes - they are not used in the actual console command. One space break should be used between the phrases and numbers.

Changes made to the character history:

- Birth of Basileios I Makedon moved back to the historical 811;
- Birth of Rurik moved back to the historical 824;
- Dyre Oskyldr made to be the bastard of Rurik. I think it's not that big of a deal, because little is known about the origins of Askold and Dyr anyway. It is known that they were personally acquainted with Rurik and Helgi (a.k.a. Oleg the Wise). And, if the TV Series "The Vikings" can make Askold and Dyr brothers of Helgi, and Helgi is the bastard of Rurik in the game anyway, then I don't stray too far by making Dyre the bastard brother of Helgi.
- Magajiva and Arwa's bloodlines are changed to patrilineal inheritance (otherwise they would get lost by male descendants in patrilineal marriages);
- Bastard inheritance enabled for all bloodlines, all bloodlines are always active;
- Duke Boleslav Premyslid's marriage moved forward to somewhat more historical 935, which would allow for some premarital affairs resulting in fictional descendants that made this mod possible;
- Otto the Great's bloodline made active for all religions.
