[sub-mod] Handmaiden events

This sounds really good. Going to give it a whirl after I grow bored with my current playthrough.

I welcome any ideas. If they're at all possible and I think they are fitting, I'll try to add them.

That's also what I was thinking about. Vassals trying to gain favor by sending you their daughters as handmaidens. I think its important to pay attention to the rank of the court, so that even friends don't send their daughters into really small castles etc, because I don't think that would be done.
Maybe there could also be some about them trying to seduce your unmarried heir or something - depending on the traits of course. On a later note their might be events where you have to decide to send a handmaiden home or stuff like that.
Handmaidens were always really underestimated in the game which is a shame.


edit:
also the use of favours maybe?
like have your daughter at a higher court. That would make more sense if the prestige bonuses were bigger, and maybe if the wife /ruler is friends with the handmaiden they could make additions to the dowry?
I don't know how doable it is the have the prestige of the handmaiden position change depending on what kind of court rank you have. Obviously these characterw ould also affect things like plots and so on. if the rulers wife has an affair they could either help cover it up and gain teh favour of the lady, or go to the lord. In that case they could be rewarded much like teh councilors: money, or arranging a marriage (to a son? or one of the councilors if they are unammried?). Or if the ruler is lusty becoming a lover on her own... thats a trait think again I think.
Another thing is that relatives would ask for you to take their daughters as handmaiden, much like they ask to be given their own pieces of land.
In some cases it might make sens eto have like an age limit? if the character has a family on her own, with parents etc, she would serve from age 14 to age 18/21? and then be send of to get married.
I think giving like modifiers could be possible? I mean you get a bonus for bedding a handmaide, so they could get like +1 diplomacy or intrigue for having the position.
In case of handmaiden without a family or landless they coudl ask you to arrange a marriage for them and give a dowry.

It takes a lot of time to design and test events. I believe most of the handmaiden code was done by blackninja, and he was busy at the time with  many other aspects of the mod (and of course now has no time for mods, working with Pdox).
I am working on multiple things simultaneously myself and hope to get a few of the future ideas working correctly, soon, so I can upload a second version. My end goal is to make handmaiden a title you will want to have at your court because of the new possibilities having one at court will bring, just like you'd now never want to go without a chancellor.

I would keep this more rare. We all have to work with people we do not enjoy or simply put them on different work schedules. It's more likely they would plot to get the employer to hate the other one.

When I used this it didn't work all that well. Friends would keep sending daughters to my court, but I couldn't actually make them handmaidens. As well, having a character send all their daughters (even if they have only daughters) seems like it could break the game.
