Interracial Takeover 3rd Edition — Changelog v2.5.3 → v2.5.3.1

Scribe

Compatibility

CK3 1.19.x (Scribe) — Full Support
Interracial Takeover now fully supports the Scribe update. GUI files have been updated to match Paradox's 1.19 interface changes across the Faith Creation window and related screens.

Removed Dependencies
Two external mod dependencies have been cut entirely:

• Carnalitas Dei — no longer required
• Phaze Futa — no longer required

Interracial Takeover is now fully standalone. Players who were loading these mods solely as dependencies for IR can remove them from their load order.

Tribute System — Bug Fixes

Divorce on Return — Fixed
When a loaned tribute is sent home, she now correctly divorces before departing. Previously the divorce was not being executed, leaving the tribute in an invalid married state during the return journey.

Proper Divorce Effect
The divorce now uses the correct divorce_effect rather than a bare divorce call, ensuring all downstream consequences (opinion hits, relation cleanup, children) apply correctly.

Tribute Court Assignment After Return
When a tribute returns home and her former lord character is dead:

• The tribute will now attempt to join the player's current character's court
• If the current character cannot accept her, she will instead join a close family member's court
• Previously she could become stranded with no valid court to return to

Convert Culture Decision — Simplified

The option to diverge culture into a BNWO variant has been removed from the Convert Culture decision. The decision now only hybridizes.

Hybrid Culture — Full Tradition Inheritance
When forming a BNWO Hybrid culture through the decision, the resulting culture now inherits all traditions from your original culture plus all traditions from African culture. Previously only a subset carried over.

Pure White Ritual — Ethnicity Fix

When a character undergoing the Pure White ritual is ethnically African:

• She is now transformed into the same ethnicity as her mother
• Her appearance is adjusted to resemble her mother more closely

Previously the ritual would leave ethnically African characters in an inconsistent visual state after purification.

Black — No Longer Culture Bound

The Black trait and associated ethnicity checks have been decoupled from culture. has_same_ethnicity_as has been replaced with has_ethnicity throughout, meaning Black characters are now correctly identified by genetics rather than by cultural membership. This fixes edge cases where characters of African genetic heritage but non-African culture were being treated incorrectly by blood-level and skin color calculations.

Varangian Adventure CB — Baronies Fix

During title transfers in the Varangian Adventure casus belli, take_baronies has been set to no across all three transfer sites. Previously the attacker was incorrectly seizing baronies during the title handoff, which could strip local lords of holdings they should retain.

Localization

• English: Added missing bno_tenets_group_name localization key for the BNWO tenet group display in the Faith Creation window

Internal

• .gitignore updated to exclude wiki/vault/.obsidian from the repository
• GUI files updated for CK3 1.19 Scribe interface changes across Faith Creation, Vassal Conversion, and doctrine selection windows
