Make my own general? Is it possible??

[zstajerski]

I would really like to make my own general with all the traits and retinues I want...

Is it possible?

or can I at least rename one of my generals and then give him all the traits i want??

I know this:
give_trait this .....
but I only know GoodCommandant, Good.... so so

can someone help me find the whole list of traits?

And how bout retinue how can i add those and where can i get a list of them??


I dont want to cheats it is yust that i played RTW for too long and also BI and i yust want to ahve fun :)

I'm not sure but it might be possible to give characters traits via the console screen. Open it with the ~ key, not sure what commands you would type though.

You can easily edit the descr_strat.txt file to change one of the starter generals, if you are starting a new campaign.

Is there an easier way? It'd be kinda fun to change each new leader's name. For example the first faction leader name changed to King Skott I, then the next guy in line has his name changed to Skott II, and then the next Skott III, etc., etc., Kinda like how the new Pope's take a new name upon being elected in real life. It'd be fun in a vain way to do that without going into the description files.

yeah
I sreally hope that I can name one genreal after me and give him the traits and retinues I will.....

I think after that much hour playing Total War I deservbe it...
to have a little fun

[pevergreen]

All names must be in the proper files.

Yeah, I remember when my friend turned my general into "secretly female" "untouched by fear" "insane" "physically flawless" and several other traits from the console.

Can someone help me with console commands? I know what they are all, and I've looked in the files to get the right codes, but I can't get them to work on a character with a first and last name, and I really want to remove that she-male from my king.

For instance, say I put in a code like this:

give_trait "Slappy Awesomedude" "the_trait's_identifier" #

It returns that with:

"character not found"

. . . even though i'm currently looking at Slappy Awesomedude's character card. It works with single-named characters (like "Rufus"), but not with any others. What am I don't wrong?

[sapi]

click on the general (outside of a town) and use the command 'give_trait this "whatever"

[Malkut]

Thanks. That was really annoying me.

Hehe found the list of codes for adding traits:

I add them by using this command (with general or agent outside city and selected):

give_traits this GoodCommander (insted GoodCommander you can use any of the codes below)

sry for dbl post...... but I cant edit my posts :(

So I only now need to find out how to rename my general and give him retinues...

Does anyone know how to add retinues??


And where is this descr you all are talking about, which I need to edit to change my starter general??? and what when he dies :(

[seneschal.the]

Retinue = ancillaries.

E.g. "remove_ancillary this pagan_magician" gets rid of the Pagan Magician .

Use the unpacker and check the data files for the list of all ancillaries.

Has anyone given a general all these traits? I'm curious how he'd perform. It'd be amusing to see I'm thinking.

[VAE VICTUS]

can i make a general not die of old age?

[IrishArmenian]

What about changing the family trees? I would like to add Robert Guiscard to Sicily.
