Faction Leader last name

[Hepcat]

Please can someone tell me if it is possible to have a faction leader with a last name that is passed down? Or can they only get a last name like "the Conqueror" or something from a trait? I've experimented but so far I can't get any last name to show up on the campaign map.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i think it works well. i mean if ur family man has a boy his last name is passed down.
if your talking like William the Conquer has a son named rob. his son is Rob the conquer ???? (is that what u mean)

if so I dont know how you can edit that and it wouldnt make sense anyways.
as for the last name of children, the family name is passed on.

Yeah you can use epithets (stuff like "the Conqueror") awarded by traits to do that.

Yes you can have last names for faction leaders, i know the Character Names Project at TWC has that in it.

It's easier to achieve it through expanded.txt:

{EMT_XXXX_FACTION_LEADER_NAME}WhatEverTitleOrNone %S WhatEverSurnameOrEpithetOrNone

Cool tip. never noticed that entry.

What does the %S accomplish? Is it your shorthand for something, or an active variable in the game (like in C)?

or an active variable in the game (like in C)?

Precisely, it's the leader first name.

AH ok. Thanks everyone. I've been trying to get it to work but when it didn't work like General names I wasn't sure it was possible.
