Pontic Faction Leader Trait

[Treverer]

Hello there,

being a great fan of the Pontic faction, I choose them first to play. But I'm afraid, the Leader did not have his "Faction Leader" Trait (either Basileus or something like it). He DID have his "Pontic Royal Family" Trait, and his Heir had both the "Heir" & "Pontic Royal family" Trait.

I wondered why and after having taken a look at the respective database (export_descr_character_traits), I did not find anything that would give it to him. Fixing isn't the problem for me , I just wonder WHY the trait is absent.

If that has something to do with the named character Bhumaka, I get an error message every time I shut the game down. It says Bhumaka is not a faction leader and has no father, so he has no ties to the family tree.

[Treverer]

Help me, you speak of the first Pontic Leader (the one aged 70)? If so, well, I never had that problem. Just that he and all of his successors never had the FL/Basileus trait.

On an older, now deleted install of EB, I ... modded (lol) the file mentioned above to give ALL Pontic leaders their trait. It wasn't that difficult.

[Treverer]

I just searched the respective file. No, Bhumaka is a character from the "Eleutheroi" Faction, the engine just uses the "Pontus" Sub-faction. What I mean is the "Pontos" Faction ("Carthage" Faction used by the engine).

BTW, I have now a similar ... problem: when exiting EB, there's an error message saying that in line XYZ and column ABC, the trait is / will not be recognized . But nevertheless, my little "modding" ( ) works as designed.

Last, but not least: un grand merci à toute l'equipe d'EB. (A big/great thank to the EB-team)

Edit: Here's a copy/paste of what I did.

Important Note: after adding the red text, I had CTDs and after removing them not anylonger. Strange ...

FYI, if you put a CODE tag around the code it will be nicely displayed in a box, with monospaced font. You get it by clicking the # symbol on the toolbar.

I thought this trigger would do the trick though, it's in the original file. Maybe Pontus has another culture type .

Thx for your tip.

And a question: What does "FYI" mean?

EDIT: For Your Information

And to answer your question: No, it does not , as there is

and not CultureType carthaginian

which "blocks"/prevents the "Pontic" Faction from getting this trait . As I stated earlier above, the engine code for Pontos is "carthage".
