Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Edit 3 files
a) Go - ''Rome - Total War folder/eb/data/export_descr_character_traits.txt''
Open the file and add the Immortal description at the end of trait section! That should look like this:


;------------------------------------------
;Trait: CeasesAmbassador
; o Ceases_Ambassador (1):

Level Ceases_Ambassador
Description Ceases_Ambassador_desc
EffectsDescription Ceases_Ambassador_effects_desc

;Mod: EBMod801 - 12/31/05 : trait to make diplomats better when stationed in a settlement for EB 0.7.2.1
;================================================= ==============
;Section: == TRIGGER DATA STARTS HERE ==
;================================================= ==============

Then save!

Then, In the same folder you should make night_battle trrigers back to use!
That should look like this!:

;------------------------------------------
;NIGHT FIGHTING SECTION

b) Go - ''Rome - Total War folder/eb/data/export_descr_VnVs_enums.txt''
Open the file and add the specified enums at the far end of the txt file! That should look like this:

Immortal
Immortal_desc
Immortal_effects_desc
Night_Fighter
Night_Fighter_desc
Night_Fighter_effects_desc
Noctophiliac
Noctophiliac_desc
Noctophiliac_effects_desc

Then save !

c) Go - ''Rome - Total War folder/eb/data/text\export_VnVs.txt'' Add one trait and replace one trait ''Rome - Total War folder/eb/data/text\export_VnVs.txt'' folder!


REPLACE

¬--------------------

{Legendary_Hero} Legendary Hero

{Legendary_Hero_desc}
Like Horatius, this man's bravery knows no bounds. He is rightly famed among Romans as Aeneas reborn, or even a new Romulus!

{Legendary_Hero_effects_desc}
+4 Morale for all troops on the battlefield, +1 Influence

¬--------------------

WITH

¬--------------------

{Legendary_Hero} Legendary Hero

{Legendary_Hero_desc}
Like Horatius, this man's bravery knows no bounds. He is rightly famed among Romans as Aeneas reborn, or even a new Romulus!

{Legendary_Hero_effects_desc}
+4 Morale for all troops on the battlefield, +1 Influence

{Night_Fighter_effects_desc}
+1 Command when fighting at night

¬--------------------

AND ADD

¬--------------------
{Immortal} Immortal

{Immortal_desc}
Hidden immortal trait

{Immortal_effects_desc}
No Effects

That or just add the command stars to "blooded, Grizzled, Veteran and STE"

basically search for "Blooded" in the EDCT file and make it look like this (just add "Effect command [the corresponding number]")

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Code:

---

Level Blooded
        Description Blooded_desc
        EffectsDescription Blooded_effects_desc
        Threshold  2
       
        Effect Command  1

    Level Veteran
        Description Veteran_desc
        EffectsDescription Veteran_effects_desc
        Threshold  5

        Effect Command  2
       
    Level Grizzled
        Description Grizzled_desc
        EffectsDescription Grizzled_effects_desc
        Threshold  10
       
        Effect Command  3

    Level Seen_The_Elephant
        Description Seen_The_Elephant_desc
        EffectsDescription Seen_The_Elephant_effects_desc
        Threshold  25
       
        Effect Command  4

---

however this way will only get you the stars... not the cursus honorum

when i add the command stars to "blooded, Grizzled, Veteran and STE" and load up the game it ctd? the only thing i do is open the EDCT file and add the effect command 1

Make sure you have saved the file in the right format (notepad tends to save it in the wrong format when simply hitting "save").

I have finally got around to modifying this for EB 1.2. Sorry for the delay for those waiting for the file. This is not a save compatible mod. The latest version is Trait Mod for 12. Here is the link

Yes, awesome! :2thumbsup:

I think it can be Savegame compatible... since... you didn't re-arrange the traits, did you?
As far as I know, changes in the effects of traits are save game compatible. Even adding new traits (at the end of the file) is save game compatible...

I have not tested it, but I bealive that is the thing. :shrug:

I thought that you can change the triggers but the traits themselves can't be changed to be save compatible. In truth, I have never tried it. Perhaps someone with more wisdom can enlighten us.

:jester:
Very Well Done MT!!! Thanks a lot!!:balloon2:

I was thinking... Why the trait descr has changed from "Tribvnvs Plebis" to "Tribvnis Plebis"? Or "Tribvnvs Militum" to "Tribvnis Milita"?

:inquisitive:
That puts me in a latin grammar confusion... Checking the vocabularium...:martass: ...Hanging myself...:freak:

hi konni. i tried to download this minimod, but they say the link is not on use anymore....

Try the latest link provided by medical toaster, it should be around the last pages. :medievalcheers:

thanks. i will search.
:2thumbsup:

hi all. is this mod compatible with the ferromancer's minimod 'EB for BI'?
should i install it before or after the installing of EB4BI?

I think you did not mod the ancillary files ; export_descr_ancillaries, descr_ancillaries. that is what I did in my mod :laugh4:

So if you can confirm this I will declare my mod is competable with your mod.
I had to change my codes for city mod now it is competable with it.:sweatdrop: I hope not another dejavu... :no:

No, this only changes EDCT.

I've installed this mod and its been 50 turns and I haven't had anyone elected to any offices. Is anyone else having this problem or can figure out why this is happening? My people have high influence and other stats.

So it's compatible with the extended offices mod? :-P :-P :-P

Yes. :beam:

The 1.2 version can't be downloaded...

The recent filefront upheavals seems to have deleted a lot of files, I lost some myself.

:help:Konny, as I want to do some trait modding myself, could you please enlighten me on how to save it in the correct format in notepad? Great idea though, turning off command penalties for Lover of Beauty. :2thumbsup:

Looks like filefront deleted this one too. Does anyone have a copy you can send me?

same problem. could someone upload that files again?

also medical toasters (great name ;) ) files are lost...

You need a better text editor like Crimson for example: http://www.crimsoneditor.com/

The download link doesnt work anymore :(

can anyone get a new link up, the old one doesn't work. and is this compatible with the EB for BI mod?

Can somebody please re-upload it :(?

Hello Konny, Long time no see! Tell me, is this mini-mod concept to be present in EBII? Seen some people asking for a new link, the old ones are broken somehow! Tell me it is implemented in the mod-pack?
Cheers!

Guys, does someone have the files for this mod? could someone upload them? I would really like to start a new SPQR campaign, this time going to 14 AD, but i don't want to play the game without this mod:embarassed:

help help help.

Edit:

Actually i think i found a way around it, if anyone alse is interested. I downloaded the mini-mod pack, extracted it in a folder on my desktop, and then just choose those 2 files and put them where they are supposed to be.

I tried a few turns, and the command stars are working, however my FM still have -3influnce (those who are plebeians) so i'm not sure if this bypass actually works.

hope it helps anyone

Could some one please upload this mod again? Anubis is right but I still think it'd be nicer if you can download this mod seperately somewhere. Thank you, it sounds great !
