v0.2-alpha

Communication Efficiency

• Added a communication efficiency mechanic: counties distant from the capital get a malus to county Control based on their distance, terrain and buildings (Roads (new building) and Ports which decrease the malus). Enclaved counties (no path to the capital that does not involve going through someone else territory) have their Control decreased to 20.

• Added new mechanic for muslim clan and tribal government rulers: Asabiyya. Inspired by Ibn Khaldoun principle, it represents the bond of cohesion among humans in a group-forming community, it is social solidarity with an emphasis on unity, group consciousness, and a sense of shared purpose and social cohesion. Familiar in pre-islamic and islamic era, in game terms it provides various bonuses to rulers maintaining their Asabiyya strong (Skirmishers and light cavalry combat bonus, raid speed increase, vassal opinion and prestige gain). It is reduced when the realm_capital holding of a character is not of the Nomad type and can be increased through various traits or events.
