Crusader Kings II

Care to share a little of what goes into making new traits?

I haven't really done any advanced stuff, but here's something:

male_redguard = {
	congenital = yes
	birth = yes

	martial = 3
	stewardship = 1
	intrigue = 1
	diplomacy = -1
	learning = -2

	opposites = {
		male_altmer
		female_altmer
		male_dunmer
		female_dunmer
		male_orsimer
		female_orsimer
	}
	opposite_opinion = -5
	same_opinion = 5
}

Opposites can be used to change relations with a particular trait. There's some stuff you can put in it, you can get far by just looking at paradox's traits. Every trait has an event attached to it, otherwise you just couldn't be able to get it.

Is it possible to create brand new events, or is it hardcoded? I cant seem to find the file containing the event descriptions.

It's very possible. The descriptions are in localisation/textX files. This is also a helpful resource

It was pretty odd to see there's a robin hood themed event line. I never had that.

The more I think about it, the more I simply ADORE the idea of a Daggerfall mod for CK2.

Thanks. Now to tackle the hardships of brainstorming new event ideas.

And in other news, my new King has become a legend in his own time. 11818 prestige, 3078 piety, TWO successful Crusades (this time against Castille which was sadly overrun by the Muslims), Realm Size of 299, 79 years old and still ticking, and is a great-grandfather. I'm preparing for the eventual succession wars by murdering the crap out of my children and grandchildren. Anyone who has a claim that isn't my heir or a child of my heir will fall down the stairs.

Taking a break from studying for my last final before graduation. Will be very happy to be done with these terrible quarter schedules. Ugh. Two years of technical courses on 10-week crash courses. My mind is like sillyputty... and yet this is how I unwind a bit in between study sessions:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Dear god. What have I become. Oh well. I didn't need that hour of free time anyway. This is more of a flavor mod than anything else, but one that might help the Turks a bit in their wars. I've changed the Seljuks from a tier 4 title (kingdom) to a tier 5 (empire) as they should have been from the start, imho. They are a titular empire just like they were a titular sultanate and given them a bit of a name change to coincide. This was my first forray into adding a completely new title entry, and it was much easier than I thought. After i figured out what I was doing wrong of course.

No idea if this will help them in their wars against the Roman Empire. Heh.. Yeah. Roman Empire. Loving the look of that one too..

@rickinator9 thanks, favorited the link and will look at it when i have had much more sleep than I have had now..
