Curious about the warmonger - I'll try to investigate tonight.

Thank you much for that.

Glad to have you onboard IvarrWolfsong! With posts like the recent one from the Diet I'm already looking forward to hearing more from you!

Well, I seem to have gotten myself into quite an issue regarding my computer.

Desktop, after issueing a series of rather odd error messages on start up over the last few days, refuses to turn on at all, not even going to the windows start up screen. So I'm stuck playing on the laptop until I can figure this out or have it fixed.

This in no way affects my involvement in the game, just keeping everybody up to date with the local weather so to speak.

I've had a look at the issue with the Cardinal. It is strange. He is just Peter Scherer if I load the savegame up in M2TW or Medifixed M2TW. He was also Peter Scherer that when I started a new campaign in M2TW. However, when I started a new campaign in Medifixed M2TW, he was "Peter the Righteous" and had an extra virtue (an extra +3 peity being incidentally not reflected in his piety).

I conjecture that characters may randomly spawn extra traits when you start up a campaign. The warmonger title was probably something he got when I started a new game last night (note: I did absolutely nothing in game, so it must have been spawned on start up), but did not save.

It also seems that Medifix may not be a perfect fix (the extra virtue not being reflected in his total piety).

However, I think we just press on with Medifix and our kinder, gentler Peter.

Uhoh, I hope this didn't affect Dietrich. I liked his traits the way they were.

EDIT - Yeah, I'm also kind of having trouble with this whole batch file thing. Never made one before, and the medifix's instructions are really unclear. Little help someone?

Inside your main M2TW directory, just create a text file called "whatever.bat" using notepad, wordpad or something. The file has just a single line:

medieval2.exe --io.file_first

Then create a shortcut to it and paste to your desktop (I changed the icon to be M2TW's); double click to run.
