None of my FMs died of a natural cause

[Skuda]

Let me introduce to you...



Okay, and this is no exception. I have another FM who is 88, and several other in their 60s. I played until 248 BC and so far NONE of my FM died naturally.

Is this a bug or just coincidence?

Do you play ALX.exe, I've heard of people who had this and it had to do with the hidden "Alexander" trait.

[XSamatan]

Yes to skullhead.

Did you follow the advises posted by maksimus in his Alex/EB thread?


That is irreversible... before starting a new campaign search the EDCT for the "immortal" trait and delete it (my guess). Or, post at the thread (see above).

I really like he trait ''decrepit''

[Jebivjetar]

you can delete immortal trait in EDCT and it is save game compatible: i did that around 180-170BC in my pahlava campaign: i had too many family members, but when i deleted that trait, i had around 10 family members dead per turn: until then, my empire was an empire of very old men (100-150 years old): even the years of age of my faction leader did reset, so after his age reached limit (i think it was around 160 years), he started as a young man all over again X)

when you edit the file make sure that you use notepad++ or something , else it will not work.

Nah... it wasn't just Alex... I also get a lot of old people, but most of them dead when they hit 90++ years.... I using BI and I got Alexandros Aiakides age is reverted back to 16, and rule Epeiros more than 250 years before die of the second old age... (I was using BI)... maybe the chances are soo rare... but even it was available in BI.exe... not just Alex

(If you want easier times getting rejuvenated character in BI, Try to play FATW and as the Reunited Kingdom, you'll got 105y old Palantir, the White Company commander as starting general... he often dies in the very first turns... but if he doesn't die at first turn... he has a very good chance to wait 55 years and he'll get back to 16 years old.)

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):

Trait CeasesAmbassador
Characters diplomat
AntiTraits Ambassador

Level Ceases_Ambassador
Description Ceases_Ambassador_desc
EffectsDescription Ceases_Ambassador_effects_desc

Then save!

But never forget that they'll get an honourable death with their enemies under their foot and their throat screams the last heroic charge! (before impaled with something like sarissa...)

Oh, yeah, old men always get me touchy... I remember the seniors... hmmm...... maybe giving them a good job as governor will keep them from becoming dementia. Afterall just RP that they got "elixir of life" or something....

Sorry but when I did as it was said in this instruction I only got CTDs whenever I try to start new campaign or load game.

Does anyone have EDCT file that work properly?

Use Notepad++ and not the default windows notepad

[Skuda]

Yes, but I previously played several campaigns and didn't have these problems.

If so, what could I do?

[Skuda]

Do I need only to delete trait Immortal from export_descr_character_traits?
