Battle Weary trait

**Empedocles** · 02-05-2007, 14:27

Hi! First of all, thanks for your amazing work with EB! IT's simply great.

I've noticed that the Battle weary trait (-2 morale of troops, -2 command stars) is a quite easily trait to gain. IT's caused by fighting to many battles with the same general.
How can I remove it?
IF I can't remove it, is it possible to see which general has more chances of getting this trait and which not?

Well, that would be all.
best regards.

It's funny really, because when I have a general like that he usually just becomes a 'restless warmonger', which I think is quite funny. I don't think I've ever had a 'battle weary' trait.

In RTW\EB\data there is a file called export_descr_character_traits.txt. Make a backup and then open it with notepad.

Find the following code,

Code:

;Trigger: general_becomes_battleweary_01

Trigger general_becomes_battleweary_01
    WhenToTest PostBattle

    Condition IsGeneral
          and Trait CommandExperience > 3
          and Trait Temperament < 3
          and Trait EnergyRating < 3
          and Trait Selflessness > 2
          and PercentageOfArmyKilled > 25

    Affects BattleWeary  1  Chance  90

;Mod: EBMod539 - 05/20 : general BattleWeary of war and death

which is the trigger for battle weary and add ; in front of each of these lines(or you could delete the entire code, I prefer disabling it, makes it easier to adapt):

Code:

;Trigger: general_becomes_battleweary_01
; o <BattleWeary>  1: 90%

;Trigger general_becomes_battleweary_01
;   WhenToTest PostBattle

;    Condition IsGeneral
;          and Trait CommandExperience > 3
;          and Trait Temperament < 3
;          and Trait EnergyRating < 3
;          and Trait Selflessness > 2
;          and PercentageOfArmyKilled > 25

;    Affects BattleWeary  1  Chance  90

;Mod: EBMod539 - 05/20 : general BattleWeary of war and death

save and exit, no generals will get this trait from now on.

if you have a general that you like with this trait and want it removed, try adding this, this might work, but I am not 100% sure.:

Code:

;Trigger: remove_battleweary_fromgeneral01
; o <BattleWeary>  1: 90%

Trigger general_becomes_battleweary_01
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
    Condition IsGeneral
          and Trait BattleWeary > 0

    Affects BattleWeary  -1  Chance  90

That trait is common among Pessimist and Selfish generals that fight a lot of battles.

Pessimist all right, but selfish?

Would a selfish general care if more than 25% of his army dies in a battle?

Thanks for the quick answer. I believe I'll remove the trait from my characther. After all he has cracked the Ptolemei armies, having conquered all their cities except the one west of alexandria that will be kept there as a safe frontier with the kardts.

Regards.

Of course I meant Unselfish. I Keep forgetting that the trait is Selflessness.

My guess is, that said general does not want to risk his life. What good is gold to a dead man?

Well if you had fought over 50 battles and seiges and seen tens of hundreds of people die, I'm sure you would get tired of it too.

Depends, really. If you're a good Roman, chances are in favor of being very proud of your achivements (not to mention wealth beyond your wildest dreams) and looking forward to achieving immortality with all the statues and stuff in your honor.
