Changing starting family member names

:help:

Apologies for this very simple question. First time modder and i realise that most questions here make this look rather daft

i would like to change 2 of starting Bruti character's names and ages. I have gone into the descr_strat file and just changed the name and age

eg

character Zakus Brutus, named character, heir, age 21, , x 111, y 68
traits GoodCommander 1 , PoliticsSkill 2 , Rabblerouser 2 , GoodAdministrator 2
ancillaries quartermaster
army
unit roman generals guard cavalry early exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman hastati exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit roman velite exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0

is there anything else i need to door that all?

many thanks

:2thumbsup:

Hell i've screwed something up here

This is what i have but i keep getting ctds when clicking the faction at the start of the campaign

:no:

Any names you use also have to be listed in descr_names under the faction you're using them for, and probably in text\names.txt as well.

I have experienced similar CTDs in the past because of incorrect spacing between characters in family tree
