Detailed Description
A mod that introduces a claim fabrication mechanic to Bannerlord. Players and kingdoms will require fabricated claims in order to declare wars against other kingdoms.

To fabricate a claim, the player must send their companion to the target kingdom (by chatting with them) to "study it and find relevant records" that can be used as grounds for declaring war. Once the companion returns, the player can obtain the fabricated claim by paying a fee, which will result in a loss of relations with the targeted kingdom. Alternatively, if the player chooses not to pay, they will lose the claim.

Additionally, there will be a cooldown period of 3 days before the player can fabricate another claim.
For AI, it's quite similar. It takes 5-10 days to finish the claim and a 3-day cooldown to fabricate another claim, which makes wars occurring fast rarer.

Video Summary:
Go to your companion and chat with him, you'll see the option "Go forth and forge a claim on a kingdom for me.",
click it, your companion will ask you which kingdom you wish to fabricate a claim on, choose to your picking.

After that, the number of days the process will take will be in the log so you can see it later on after the
conversation. It usually ranges from (5-15) days.

After the random number of days have passed, he will go in a conversation with you. To gain the claim you must pay a fee.
If you pay the fee, you gain the claim but lose relation with the target kingdom's leader (ranging from 3-9 relation loss)
and if you do not pay the fee, you lose the claim.

After that you must wait 3 days to fabricate another claim.

Video Summary:
AI now require fabricating claims to declare wars against other kingdoms,
It mostly functions the same as the companion process, taking 5-15 days, with a 3-day cooldown after it finishes.

It'll warn you with a quick notification when a kingdom is planning to fabricate a claim against you.
or when it finishes fabricating the claim.

This makes declaring wars take some time instead of happening almost instantly. And makes you better prepare for yourself.
