Another population control? The good thing?

Better performance (resource usage is reduced by 20% to 60%, and the total running speed of the test environment is increased by more than 10%)

Graphical setting panel, free adjustment of function settings

More optional cleanup rules

paper man

Remove adventurers/landless tyrants via decision

Better compatibility (in fact there are no compatibility issues, but special rules may be needed in certain circumstances)

Immortal characters will not be cleared, which is the 10,000 immortal characters in PoD.

Optional rule: Protect historical characters. The historical characters here include the original version and characters with the `historical_character` variable. It was originally planned to support characters with biographies from other modules, but most of these modules write the judgment directly to the UI layer, so there is no way.

Optional rule: Paper man protecting two-way foil

Optional Rules: Protecting Dragons and Related Characters in A Song of Ice and Fire

Optional rule: Warlock who protects Godfall (requires compatibility patch)

No errors during operation

Willing to accept cooperation/increase linkage protection interface

Online security, does not affect archiving.

Note: The game will try to fill the cabinet with as many courtiers as possible for all earls and above, so don't set the target population too low, otherwise repeated killings and spawns will make it more laggy.

For a better gaming experience, it is recommended to reduce the number of rulers through mergers.

The expected population can be observed via the console command trigger any_ruler = { highest_held_title_tier >= tier_county count > 100000 }

To estimate the return value, multiply the return value by (number of cabinet types (currently 7 in the original version) + 4)

In vanilla environments, this value should be no less than 15,000. Starting in Eastern Dynasty requires 35,000 (40,000 is recommended).

Thank you for giving me a good review. Regardless of the content, people will leave negative reviews when they see the paper. It’s too valuable.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
