Castle / Town / Temple / Source

Castles, towns and temples pay their direct blooded holder, regardless of class or culture. Vassal holdings do not pay their liege. Occupied holdings pay nothing. Income updates monthly and respects bloodline storage capacity; settlement income has no additional cap.

Sources have four playable levels. They require a landed, blooded Arcane holder with an initialized bloodline score for RP. Their six support chains also have four levels and require the matching primary level. Source income alone retains its shared 4 RP/month cap; Chambers multiply local base RP before that cap. No gold or levies. No realm spells or ley lines.

The separate annual payment rolls 1 or 2 RP with equal probability, for both player and AI blooded characters. Storage capacity still applies. Hunt and feast rewards keep their existing rules.

Compatible with Crusader Kings III 1.20.1.2 (Crozier). V0.1.0 is the current Birthright release; V0.2.0 is the development version. The compatibility declaration has been updated from 1.20.1.1 to match the current game. Restart the Paradox launcher after updating the mod.
