    Question Editing family members/characters?



    I've been trying for hours to add new names and characters to the Greek faction of RTW 1.5, and it's been poopy. So I finally decided to just try to change one family member's name to an existing RTW name.. here's my descr_strat.txt:

    NEW EDITED TXT:
    Code:
    character	Patrobas of Sparta, named character, age 22, , x 106, y 44 
    traits GoodCommander 1 , Intelligent 1 , GoodAdministrator 2 
    ancillaries brilliant_inventor, playwright
    army
    unit		greek general's guard cavalry early				exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit		greek hoplite				exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit		greek hoplite militia				exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0

    unit		greek archer				exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit		greek peltast				exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit		greek hoplite				exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    
    ...
    
    relative 	Kleomenes of Sparta, 	Clymene,		Patrobas of Sparta,	Antigonos of Sparta,	Eumenes of Sparta,	Memnon of Sparta,	end
    relative 	Dionysios of Sparta, 	Harmonia,		Cleon of Sparta,	Hermine of Sparta,	end
    relative 	Antigonos of Sparta, 	Eunice,		Doros of Sparta,	Nicanor of Sparta,	end
    relative 	Eumenes of Sparta, 	Kyra,		Eugenius of Sparta,	end

    ORIGINAL TXT:
    Code:
    character	Dionysios of Sparta, named character, age 34, , x 106, y 44 
    traits GoodCommander 1 , Intelligent 1 , GoodAdministrator 2 
    ancillaries brilliant_inventor, playwright
    army
    unit		greek general's guard cavalry early				exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit		greek hoplite				exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit		greek hoplite militia				exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit		greek hoplite militia				exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit		greek archer				exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit		greek peltast				exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit		greek hoplite				exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    
    ...
    
    relative 	Kleomenes of Sparta, 	Clymene,		Dionysios of Sparta,	Antigonos of Sparta,	Eumenes of Sparta,	Memnon of Sparta,	end
    relative 	Dionysios of Sparta, 	Harmonia,		Cleon of Sparta,	Hermine of Sparta,	end
    relative 	Antigonos of Sparta, 	Eunice,		Doros of Sparta,	Nicanor of Sparta,	end
    relative 	Eumenes of Sparta, 	Kyra,		Eugenius of Sparta,	end
    NOTE that the change is simply the original character of Dionysios (son of Kleomenes) is changed to Patrobas.

    I don't see why it isn't working, perhaps some of you veterans can see something I can't?

    Thanks!

    I changed his age from 22 to the default age, and it works now. How can one change the age correctly? And also how does one add new characters? I can't get that right yet. (sorry for double post)

    Hi neighbor,

    If Dionysios (Patrobas) is 22, he became a father at age 8 (son Cleon is 14). Don't know if the game is thorough enough to check that children are at least 16 years younger than the parents. You might try making both children (Cleon and Hermine) 5 or younger, and setting Patrobas' age back to 22.

    The sons must be ordered by age.
    Patrobas must be older than Antigonos, this one older than Eumenes and Memnon must be the youngest.

    Moreover, you didn't substitute Dionysios in the second row of relatives, to signal that it is married with Harmonia and he has one son and one daughter.

    I'm not sure, but:

    The faction leader must be +20 years old of the your heir

    Yes. for these things check and see if it would be frowned upon nowadays. if the answer is yes the chances are that the game will disagree with them as well
