Political Lobbies

To define Victoria 3 political lobbies, you structure files under common/political_lobbies using core fields like category, can_create, and available_for_interest_group. This process ensures your lobby definitions align with vanilla gameplay rules.

Required fields for Victoria 3 political lobby definitions include category, texture, can_create, on_created, requirement_to_maintain, and available_for_interest_group. You also configure appeasement_factors_pro and appeasement_factors_anti to manage lobby behavior.

You validate custom Victoria 3 lobby definitions by comparing your local files against vanilla references. This ensures coherence across related files like diplomatic actions, treaty articles, and localization, maintaining safe and scalable modding workflows.

The join_weight field dictates how likely an interest group is to join a specific political lobby. You configure this alongside available_for_interest_group to control IG joining logic and maintain gameplay balance.

Appeasement factors, split into appeasement_factors_pro and appeasement_factors_anti, determine the maintenance rules and conditions for keeping a lobby satisfied. You use these fields to manage diplomatic and internal political dynamics.

Yes, you can use optional directories like scripts/, references/, and assets/ to support on-demand tooling. These directories help manage related content, textures, and complex on_created actions for your custom lobbies.
