Decisions can be modded into the game. They are optional actions that count rulers or above may take.
Location
Decisions belong in .txt files in the mod's common\decisions folder. Each text file may contain multiple decisions.
Structure
Decisions may be defined like so:
my_decision = {
# Put keys, etc. here
}

custom_decision = {
picture = "custom_decision.dds"
desc = custom_decision_desc
selection_tooltip = custom_decision_tooltip

Decision ID
Each decision uses an internal ID for reference within the game's files. The internal name of a decision in the game's files can be found by following these steps:
- Take the decision's name.
- Turn all letters into lowercase (
A...Z->a...z).
- Replace spaces (
) with underscores (_).
- Add
_decision to the end.
Decisions with in-game names that do not match their internal name are included in the table below:
