Names in bold are related to the "ghost" characters, all are minors but I got the same issue for named characters. Those names are of course codded rightly.

Im running my modded version (for Arthurian: TW) of BI 1.6. I noticed aswell that some traits don't appear, and some buildings (especially temples) don't appear.

Any suggestion?

The trait levels? I thought you should supply the level not the points towards the threshold in descr_strat?
There might also be problems with the formatting, dunno really.
It could also have to do with the /text (locale) files, you sure that those names work?

[Agraes]

I tried before that a version with Cystennin father of Erbin and Uther, Erbin father of Gereint and Dywel, and Uther father of Arthur. Both Arthur, Gereint and Dywel didn't appear whereas they were looked to be coded properly. Looks like last characters don't appear in the faction tree, not because of wrong names (wrong codded names causes CTD)... I really don't know why this happens...

[alpaca]

This is very much a shot in the dark but could it be that relatives to a son of the faction leader who doesn't share the leader's surname are ignored?

[nikolai1962]

Could try seperating the ages of arthur's first two kids in case the game doesn't like a one year gap?

Also arthur and gwen would have been 16 and 14 for the first one. Not sure if the game has minimums there?

[GiantMonkeyMan]

alpaca is right... give him the same surname as the father and if you want him to have a different surname give him a hidden trait with an epithet(sp?) with the surname of your choice... hope this helps

Just tried the surnames solution and it works perfectly, thanks ;]
