stopping corruption

[Will_YouFight_ForME]

i have on my financial tab
100,000 for expenditure, of corruption

i'm racking in about 200,000 a turn anyways
but i have found the source, its this guy called
Gaivs the fat or something along those lines
i want to kill the evil guy off!
is there some way? without making him go on some suicide mission

[Watchman]

How about making sure he doesn't govern anything important ?

[Bonny]

put him on a transport boat, and let it attack the pirates...

[Karielle]

How do you find out who or what is causing corruption expenditure?

[L.C.Cinna]

Check settlement details

[mAIOR]

to stop it, build buildings which give law bonuses... that'll help a lot.


Cheers...

[RabbitDynamite]

Send him bandit-squashing with little/no support.

[Thaatu]

Garrison buildings are a good way to deal with corruption. Found that out in a Seleucid campaign.

[Will_YouFight_ForME]

it would be cool if i could assassinate unwanted characters
like this fatty

time took its tole after a while i just put him in the desert and he just... died

I agree, for enhancing the roleplay aspect I always wanted to be able to assassinate my own generals but I have to use ghetto methods and just 'pretend' :(

XD In my Romani campaign I got this worthless spawn from one of my generals; the kind of guy that can't do anything right by nature, but a good guy nonetheless. He wanted to feel important, so I sent him on a very special mission, deep into untrecked territory with some loyal mercenaries to keep him safe...I had him gun it through the gates of Bononia as the enemy sallied, right through the barbarians until he was bogged down in a group of Gaesatae. The mercenary protectors were made to just leave before the gates even shut behind him.

I really do feel kind of bad about it now, because he didn't actually have any traits that made him bad, and he was only 17. He was just dull, uncharismatic and languorous.

Think of it as evolution in action, with a little help from intelligent design.

But seriously...

In vanilla RTW, you start developing corruption traits when you have more than 55000 in the bank. Is that also true in EB? I always controlled it by queueing up extra buildings if I went over the target.

[Enguerrand de Sarnéac]

I have corruption under 55000 also...
I thought it had to do with characters that were 'Disloyal' and 'Selfish' and certain traits. I avoided Selfish and disloyal gouvernors...

[Will_YouFight_ForME]

i call for a mod to allow you to assassinate your own characters!
my reasons for this are..
1. historical correctness - romans did assassinate each other :)
or proscription of a certain character which is way too complex but sounds interesting
2. to quell useless characters
3. to stop corruption
4. to boost roll play

Is that corruption in your city income analysis (which can always happen), or "corruption" tyre traits for governors (only happens over 55000 in Vanilla)?

I get the feeling that people in this thread are talking about two different things.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

I have a "Germanicvs" who is very popular and a close relative to my Emporer. When the emporer's son takes over, I was thinking it would be pretty historical if "Germanicvs" mysteriously died. Too much popularity and compition with the soon to be emporer. (I'd hate to lose him though.)

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

I'd love to assassinate my own generals! My vote for self assassination...

[alatar]

Just have him sold into slavery, where he can compete in the gladitoral games, and defy a emperor, only to die in single combat with the son infront of 50,000 plebs.


Or if you want a soulution that isn't a copy of a film, maarch im into Germany with part of the sons legion, and have him engage the ememy, one the battle starts, have all members of the other legion retreat, leaving germanius and his loyal troops to fight to the death.

Can a script be done to do this?

[alatar]

I doubt it, sounds hard coded, maybe you could kill a carcter, but it would require a unique command for each of them.

[Will_YouFight_ForME]

i dont think so, hmm just copy what the assassin does for ever other character
there must be some form of coding that says who the assassin can attack or who it cant

just add each faction name or something then assassins can attack everything?

i have no idea, i dont do coding o.O

[Enguerrand de Sarnéac]

I did notice that in the little scroll where you can choose your victims, your own spies are also listed. If you have spies in the settlement. Don't know if you can actually assassinate them though.

Yes but that file is not one of the ones we can edit.

hahaha....that's actually social darwinism, but funny nonetheless :D

[Will_YouFight_ForME]

argh
surely their is some way
i'm getting a bit annoyed alot of the good ideas around here are smacked down due to the only reason 'its hardcoded'
isnt that just a short way of saying 'its too hard long and complex to put so much effort into one thing'

but hey i dont know anything about coding

[alatar]

No, it means it's impossible.

Why do you think that in every mod the agents have 1 turn recriutment?
Because there is probebly a file called descr_agent.txt which we can't get to.

Hard-coded means that a feature/function is not available in the accompanying files, and implementation would require changing the .exe file. Not only is this next to impossible if you don't know the source code, it's also illegal to distribute modified versions of the .exe file.

n'awwwww

YOUR MOM'S ARE ALL HARDCODED BY SEGA! Sorry, I must vent and weep at their inability to allow for this superior modding team to do their damned jobs right with tasteless obstacles such as encrypted executables that even if reverse engineered would only lead to sorrowful lawsuits.

Let's stay realistic. Are there any complex, commercial games that do not make use of encrypted executables? R:TW's engine is not the most moddable around, I agree, but it isn't bad either. As for the legal aspects: distributing the program files, modified or not, is piracy, since you don't need to pay to get the program.
