The Will of the Senate - out of character thread II

[flyd]

Just a note. 48 hours have elapsed since I sent shifty a message, and there was no response. The battle has been autoresolved with... interesting results. Mini-report in Senate thread incoming.

OK, if a Lower House general fails to fight out their battles within 48 hours, I think they should be automatically retired to the Upper House. It's not a big deal, as they can always be moved back down to the Lower House but it will reduce delays. E.g. we don't need to wait 48 hours to autoresolve any more of shifty's battles.

What's going on.. Been a while since I got a battle to do! 0-i

[Lucjan]

I'll be joining the pbem as soon as possible, most preferably as part of the lower house. I'll wait for a general if I have to.

[Death the destroyer of worlds]

Welcome Lucian ! We need all the generals we can get

[Lucjan]

You do? Wonderful. Well I'll be happy to be of service then. As soon as I', given a character I'll go post in the IC thread.

I just realized I never did this. Better late than never I suppose. Enter the following command lines into the console to do the following things. For reference, CHARACTER NAME is the full name of the character, first and last. This means that if you are giving it to a character that has had his last name replaced by a title, you need to figure out what his real last name is (check the Library). For instance, my current character is named Augustus the Orator, but to give him a trait you would have to type in "Augustus Verginius".

To give DDW's characters his 'office' trait:
give_trait "CHARACTER NAME" "Office_of_Aedile" 1

To give TinCow's characters his 'office' trait:
give_trait "CHARACTER NAME" "Office_of_Censor" 1

To give econ21's characters his 'office' trait:
give_trait "CHARACTER NAME" "Office_of_Pontifex_Maximus" 1

To remove a disinherited trait:
give_trait "CHARACTER NAME" "Disinherited" 0



I remember that we suggesting making Triumphs mean something by giving the recipient a bump up on the "Hero" scale. Did we decide to do this or not? Just in case, here is the command to do that:

give_trait "CHARACTER NAME" "RomanHero" XXXX
For this trait substitute the following numbers for XXXX depending on the level of Hero you want to give:
Level 1 - Local Hero - XXXX = 2
Level 2 - Popular Hero - XXXX = 4
Level 3 - Roman Hero - XXXX = 8
Level 4 - National Hero - XXXX = 12
Level 5 - Legendary Hero - XXXX = 18

We do have two new generals. They both came of age, and are students, as a result:





First guy is the son of Manius Aemilius, and is located in Massilia of all places. I may withdraw him back across the Alps. Second guy is the son of Titus Vatinius and is in Syracuse.

Lucjan welcome! When you post that you have successfully installed the mods and loaded a savegame, then I will put you in the lower house and assign you an avatar.

To remove a disinherited trait:
give_trait "CHARACTER NAME" "Disinherited" 0

I just tried this, and the game gives this error message: "trait not found in database". I skimmed quickly through some txt files and tried it with "exheir", but with the same result. Did I have to type the character name in capital letters (didn't try that)?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Yay for diplomacy!

Regarding the whole Marcus thing:

I am Marcellus Aemilius, a student in Rome. The FAQ says my name is Marcus. The brother who died at Massilia was Manius, an older brother. Hope that clears things up.
