KotR Out of character thread VI

[FactionHeir]

Well, for Drink just end in a town with brothel or higher. Or camp at near full MP in the wilderness. Sadly, Insane and Deranged can not be gotten post coming of age except by suffering a lot of assassination attempts... hm....that might actually be an avenue for more triggers....

On the word "hi" from etymology

greeting, 1862, Amer.Eng. (first recorded reference is to speech of a Kansas Indian), originally to attract attention, probably a variant of M.E. hy, hey (c.1475) also an exclamation to call attention. Extended form hiya attested from 1940.

I just found it kind of odd when you closed in the diet with the sentence "Hi, dad"

Yes, no problem - you can have Erhart von Mahren:

Just factionheir's traits files - check out the first post in this thread.

[Ituralde]

Yes gibson, go ahead, we need to get those von Mahrens assigned.

Also a warm welcome to Cecil XIX, you chose wisely to join the glorious House of Austria!

I've updated the playlist table to the best of my ability:

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...81&postcount=1

Please let me know if you spot any errors, as I will be using the influence in that table to weight tomorrow's votes.

I will be moving Pharnakes to the inactive player list and freeing up Elberhard unless he votes tomorrow.

Btw, that reminds me. Does the emperor only control princess marriages or also other marriages? So I know if I need to ask before accepting offers during the term (if noone stands against me that is...)
And shouldn't Warluster get +4 Inf? (2 from traits, 1 from count, 1 from prince)

[edit]
Oh, and TC, that quote was meant to be light hearted, not dead serious.

[gibsonsg91921]

sweet thx

but wouldnt that mod only really affect the chancellor? or can i not play if we're not on the same mod?

[FactionHeir]

When you play battles, the mod is important too so the correct trait effects are applied and you get the proper traits postbattle. Also sometimes you fight battles during the AI turn, and then the mod is even more important.

[AussieGiant]

Hi Econ,

How are you determining the position in the family tree for Austria?

Is marriage stronger than blood in this instance?

[FactionHeir]

Position in family tree is as in the library. Counting from left to right.

Btw, what's this thing about prince of antioch? I know that is Hümmel, but I don't understand the reaction of the diet to the latest report I just read?

[Ituralde]

It affects all Trait triggers. While it is most important for the Chancellor, if you fight battles and those battles would trigger Traits, this would not happen if you didn't have the mod installed. This could become extremely fatal, if a new turn started after your battle. Then it could also change the core game.
But why am I even writing this, FactionHeir can explain this ten times better!
Edit: And faster it seems...


I am really looking forward to the moment when Arnold will ascend to Duke of Austria. Will be interesting to see what will become of my precious Duchy.

Come on dad!! It'll be fine!! Unless Lothar distracts me with beer and women I'll take all that pent up dread and unleash it on the eastern kingdoms.

I'm not trying to mimic early Middle Ages Germanic language, nor have I seen anyone else attempt to do so in any serious manner. Mentally translate "Hi" into whatever would be appropriate for the time period. Yes, it is odd, but that was the point. I thought I knew everything when I was 16, even though I was an ignoramus. Lothar struck me the same way, and I wanted to end the post with a reminder of just how much of a child he is. I simply can't see a 16 year old who needs a full time Mentor and Tutor spewing out some immense dissertation on global pan-religious politics. I'm going to do my best with Lothar to NOT argue like a lawyer in the Diet, since I know that pervades my posts even when I do not intend it to. If I could revise it, I would change it to "Hi Father" or perhaps "Greetings Father" if you prefer a different word.

Fantastic TC. Otto's gotta be wondering what the hell is going to happen to Bavaria once he's gone!!!

[OverKnight]

If you've read the latest in the Bavaria thread, Otto is wondering just that.

Of course once he shuffles off that mortal coil, I'll be part of Bavaria's callow youth movement. This all depends, however, on my next avatar's attributes.

Though with Otto, I've got so many now, it's hard to keep track. I've sacrificed some accuracy for consistency in the character.
