War Goal Types

To define custom Victoria 3 war goals, create or modify text files in the common/war_goal_types directory following the vanilla schema. This ensures your mod's war goals are structurally consistent and properly validated.

Creating war goal types requires cross-referencing common/diplomatic_plays, common/diplomatic_actions, common/treaty_articles, and AI strategies. This ensures compatibility and proper enforcement of your custom definitions with vanilla structures.

War goal validation checks your custom definitions against vanilla treaty articles and diplomatic plays to ensure compatibility. This process prevents structural mismatches when editing common/war_goal_types text files.

Yes, validating custom war goal types includes checking compatibility with AI strategies and diplomatic actions. This ensures the AI properly understands and enforces your modded war goals during gameplay.

Changes to war goal definitions carry risks to diplomatic plays and treaty articles if not properly validated. Mod authors must ensure any modifications in common/war_goal_types adhere strictly to vanilla schemas to avoid enforcement issues.

You need a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter containing name and description, a root body for instructions, and optional scripts, references, or assets directories to validate Victoria 3 war goals.
