DESCRIPTION  
-----------  
This mod is a performance-focused optimization package designed to improve the smoothness, responsiveness, and efficiency of Crusader Kings III — especially in late-game and character-heavy campaigns. It reduces unnecessary system strain from AI events, graphics, and scripted triggers.

KEY FEATURES

- Simplified AI logic: reduced ambitions and cleaner decision loops  
- Controlled claim fabrication (strategic + cost-aware)  
- Building logic gated by AI economy (gold/prestige)  
- Culling of low-impact landless characters and courtiers  
- LOD tuning for terrain, portraits, and map objects  
- River and fog animations removed for FPS boost  
- Reduced event spam: daily triggers lowered to monthly  
- Increased children cap per couple: up to 10  
- Compatible with Ironman mode (testing ongoing)

COMPATCHES AVAILABLE
