stopping corruption

[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...

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

Can a script be done to do this?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

But seriously...

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.

[Will_YouFight_ForME]

n'awwwww

[skuzzy]

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.

But isnt that only in the case that you try to circumvent the CD protection?

I don't know much about copyright jurisdiction, but I think not: you are distributing commercial products without reimbursing the owner. They might tolerate that if you simply changing data files (e.g. modding) since you still need the .exe to run those, but in the above scenario you are going to supply the .exe as well.
