Each objective has a target. The type defines the initial pool of targets for the target. This pool can be narrowed down further in the allow section. The types for ambitions and plots are:
- character (the plotter)
- spouse (the plotter's spouse)
- rivals (the plotter's rivals)
- friends (the plotter's friends)
- liege_titles (the plotter's liege's titles)
- liege_titles_w_claimant (the plotter's liege's titles for a claimant)
- vassal_titles (the plotter's vassals' titles)
- realm_titles (titles in the plotter's realm)
- realm_characters (characters in the plotter's realm)
- realm_characters_plus (characters in the plotter's realm, plus rivals and relatives of the plotter, parents, children and spouse)
- independent_rulers
- rep_trade_posts
Some of these types target characters, others target titles. All ambitions in vanilla use the character scope but it is possible to have ambitions targeting other characters.

intrigue_plot
military_plot
vassal_rank_plot
vassal_intrigue_plot
murder_plot
|
bool
|
Each plot must specify who is eligible to join the plot as fellow plotters. Each pool of potential plotters is enabled by setting it with "yes". More than one pool can be enabled. For example, if you have the line "murder_plot = yes" then the courtiers in the same court as the target will be able to join the plot.
These pools are defined by relationships to the target of the plot. If the relationship and the target type of the plot do not match there will not be any plotters in that pool. For example if you have a plot that targets a realm_character the vassal_rank_plot pool will not contain any plotters. This is because the vassal_rank_pool makes plotters eligible based on their relationship to a target title, not to a target character.

intrigue_plot = yes

| is_job_ambition

|
|
| chance
|
|
AI characters pick ambitions and plots based on the chance value. The greater the chance value, the greater the odds that the AI will pick that particular ambition. Just like ai_chance for event options, modifiers can be used to alter a particular character's chance of picking the objective. Base chance is set by adding "factor = x" in the chance section, where x is the base weight.
AI characters will also not pick objectives below a certain factor at all. This value can be changed in defines.lua, by changing the "OBJECTIVE_DISCARD_WEIGHT_THRESHOLD" variable.
|
chance = {
factor = 100
modifier = {
factor = 1.25

}
}
