How many of you trade Retinue?

Unless you go into the file and change it manually. Not hard. about 2 minutes work.

I could have sworn i have moved my say "tutor" to another general. Just open the one character, and drag the "retuine" or adviser whatever you wanna call it to the other general in the stack, and BINGO, it moves...I am at work so cant dble check it, but swear it has worked before...like my veteran king giving a new son who is 16 a sheildbearer to help keep him alive, etc....

Most normal ancillaries cannot be transferred. I am pretty sure tutors and shieldbearers cannot

Tutors can be. Or at least I have done so. Not sure about shieldbearers.

I shuffle them mostly off the really bad generals onto the better ones, where allowed. Or to keep them alive if a general is getting old.

In RTW, I liked trading ancillaries between father and son. It was kind of a neat role playing "inheriting."

When playing RTW, I was a big fan of trading retinue (ah those exotic slaves...)...

I tried and tried in MTW2 w/o success so far...

Thx to the one in this thread who explained "the transferable" line in the ancillaries file...

I think I will take a look at it and make a few changes...

----------------------

I also see it as a roleplay kind of thing... Inheriting from father to son, stealing from general to general...

Moreover, some unique ones I don't like to lose when one character reaches the term of his life...

I'll report back as to the transferability after modding...

I trade retinue a lot. Especially after making most of them transferrable. I would have quit playing M2TW already if I could not mod out the annoyances, or mod in new features like recruitable generals.

You trade his Adultress too? That would be a good role model for
inheriting for the son wouldn't it to "inherit" his mom as a cheap sexual fling. Ewwwwww.

In the early games I used to routinely pass the positive retinue traits from my older characters to my younger ones. Basically once a character hit 50+ I used to move a younger guy over to him and transfer anything worthwhile across, letting the older guy die a natural death and take the 'Drunken Uncles' with him.

I haven't actually bother doing that with MTW2, and I don't even know if its possible.
