… will be selected for the Tribute
If your Government uses the Mandala Capital Temple Complex Great Project and Great Building:
- overlord = { add_piety = minor_piety_gain }
Otherwise:
- error_log = Tribute mission target scope variable not set on character intending to travel!
trigger_event = { on_action = tribute_mission_start }
If
- location = scope:tribute_mission_target.capital_province
Then
- Event tribute_mission.0002
Else, if has “offered concubine” (a variable the game's script sets): Sets out on a journey (a travel plan)
Else, if has “offered eunuch” (a variable the game's script sets): Sets out on a journey (a travel plan)
Otherwise:
- Start traveling to … Capital in …
- Sets out on a journey (a travel plan)
