Plunder for Contribution

All Under Heaven

Plunder for Contribution is a casus belli in Crusader Kings III (mandala). If the attacker wins: The defender is forced to Contribute to your Great Project. If the defender wins: The attacker's divine reputation is tarnished. Declaring it costs piety. The war goal is worth 1% war score. It needs All Under Heaven. Patch 1.20.0.3, from game/common/casus_belli_types/tgp_eastasia_wars.txt.

Every mandala war (the group's allowed_for_character) (5 lines of game script)
herders_and_tributary_constraints = yes
pam_personal_pacifism_offensive_war_ban_trigger = yes
NOT = {
	government_has_flag = government_is_theocracy

government_has_flag = government_is_mandala

Cost to declare

Costs piety. The amount is worked out when you declare (by the titles targeted, claims, distance and more), so the script is shown as written:

Cost (15 lines of game script)
piety = {
	add = {
		value = 100
		desc = CB_BASE_COST
	}
	multiply = common_cb_piety_cost_multiplier
	if = {
		limit = {
			scope:attacker = {
				is_story_godking_trigger = yes
			}
		}
		multiply = 0.25
	}
}
