The Will of the Senate - out of character thread II

[TinCow]

And does Marcus's conclusion match your observations from your solo game? ie is it only characters with those two traits that are problematic?

I am not sure we can edit the traits of an existing character, although DDW did mention a programme for editing savegames.

However, I am pretty sure we could be able to edit the traits file to the benefit of future generals. I'll investigate commenting out or deleting those two traits you mention. If anyone has ever played around with the traits file and wants to do that for us, that would be appreciated. If it looks too tricky for me, I may e-mail Marcus to see if he can be persuaded to do the work for us.

Yes, it completely matches my observations for one main reason: only "Coming of Age" characters are bugged. Since characters created by marriages and adoptions do not have 'fathers' from which to inherit anything, they are always 100% normal, yet every single Coming of Age character demonstrates some degree of buginess. All of my CoA guys now are born with at least a Former ________ and military service. Deleting those two (Like His Father & Not Like His Father) might work and we would lose far less than we would gain, since they are currently so buggy. We have plenty of time to work on this though, since no males will come of age during the remainder of my term. We can test out changes in the meantime.

Shots of some of my screwy guys. Manius has been around for a while, but compare his rank and his military service. The other two should be obvious.
