Traits and Ancillaries Frequently Asked Questions

[atheotes]

Is there anyway to tell the effective base morale bonus given by a general without having to calculate it manually? Dont think it it possible... Just asking to make sure... thanks

[Mart2Play]

The Roman generals have their Triumphs, by defeating a lot of Gauls, Makedonians, Britons, Carthaginians, or Germans.

Dammm....i sent my general to invade the whole of Carthage...he sacked every single town and did not achieve the truimph. Only now did i read he needed to achieve a herioc victory on top of that to be named emperotar by his men...oh well, now i know.

[Redmeth]

Triumphs are kind of broken right now there was a thread about it not so long ago.

Yeah? Well...lets hope they fix it some time. Anyways my general did not live long after finisihing off Carhage...he probably would have died before he received it in any case.

Any way to manually fix it?

Any way to manually fix it?

Yeah...

But I`m not going to tell you.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Use the give_trait command to give your man the following traits:

-Imperator
-Triumphator

Experiment until you get your general to be triumphator. Be advised, this is cheating!

[Sakkura]

Well I was thinking more like fixing whatever requirements for imperator that seem to be bugged.

See the unofficial mods section.

See the unofficial mods section.

There doesn't seem to be any fix worked out according to the thread I found there, although it does seem kind of dated (most of the posts made in march). Didn't know the triumph related traits were unofficial anyway.

[bovi]

Maybe the modified triumph isn't completed yet, I only saw there was some work done on it... The triumph traits are definitely not unofficial, but changes to the way you acquire them are.

[Saeon]

Just a question

Can you add your own Traits (maybe with Critia for gaining them) and/or can you force a General to have a certain name or trait. This is more for Role-Play purposes by the way?

Many Thanks
Matt

[bovi]

Yes. No. Yes.

The file you need to modify is EB/Data/export_descr_character_traits.txt, and you can give your guys a trait with the give_trait console command.

[Saeon]

so what would i type ^_^ sorry i'm sorta new

[bovi]

Check out this overview of cheats.

[Saeon]

it works but when i check the characters sheet the trait hasn't been added
am i missing something

[bovi]

Then how would you know that it worked? If you have the information scroll up when using the cheat, you likely need to close it and open it again to see the new trait.

[Saeon]

i did do no error message nothing i even waited a turn :( but nothing....hmmm

[bovi]

Perhaps there's another general with the same name? You could try another cheat, the move_character one, and see which general is teleported. Also you might be giving a hidden trait, which there are loads and loads of in EB.

[Saeon]

Forgive me for yet another question but what does that mean if it's "Hidden" because it was the Good Commander Trait that i tried just for a test :P

[bovi]

Hidden traits are those that don't show up on your general. Good Commander is not one of those, just trying to think of possible causes using what little info I have.

I have been trying very hard for 2 of my generals to get named 'imperator'...

[Spoofa]

the priest of ares (dunno his proper name) for macedonia is broken i think, I have him and it says he grants +1 command but my generals still dont have the extra +1 command, and when starting battle it doesnt display either, just to make sure it wasnt an +1 attacking or defending.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Maybe he has a trait that gives -1 command, so the priest makes him actually have 0 command...

[Spoofa]

nope, I've checked, and transferred him over to several different generals, the command bonus doesnt work, ill try to get a SS of the priest and my general's traits tonight

P.S. This isnt the first campaign that this has happened, i had another macedonian campaign on .80 and same thing, The thing is, i dont rly know whats wrong with it, b/c ive checked the ancillaries file and it has the +1 command there.... hmm.

alright here's the screenshots

[BozosLiveHere]

Priest ancillaries are mostly broken in .8x. They have been all rewritten by now.

[Shifty_GMH]

Is there a Conquerer of Iberia trait? If not, will one be added at a later date?

EDIT: Will wait to see if it is part of the changes to the Triumph system that I have seen hinted at.

[swhunter]

Question on the faction GCS or Kron.
playing at med med and i lost two battles.
Plus out of money and going to lose athans.
Mace is killing me. What can i do? I need more money!

[bovi]

Swhunter, that belongs in the gameplay guide subforum (or in a new thread in the general one), not in the traits FAQ.

[Horst Nordfink]

One of my generals somehow aquired the name Corpulentus! What does that mean, and how did he get it?

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

He's gotten lazy and fat from not doing anything.
Basically, it means he's a big fat sack of crap.
