You can still use it but you'll probably have to micromanage your files by swapping them around.

You could maybe just create a named character of a certain age in a city using the cheat commands, then give him the client ruler trait. The script creates named characters, but I haven't tested that function to see if it works in game console.

Or you could do as suggested and swap out the files every 30 some odd years. If you use process_cq, you can get a gov4 immediately and then just switch back after a client ruler spawned. Actually, I haven't checked whether process_cq with gov4s spawn client rulers via the script or not.

This is such a great idea!

My game is running much faster now and I never build level 4 governments anyway.

Thanks!

Been using this technique for a while in 1.0 very helpful. But when trying it with EB 1.1 I'm having some trouble, removing client rulers from the script works fine and the campaign starts but any change to the interloper value in character traits file causes eb to crash when i try to start a new game. I have tested it with reverse interloper instead of interloper or changing "Affects Interloper 1 Chance 80" to "Affects Interloper 1 Chance 10" or "Affects Interloper 1 Chance 1" and other combinations but when starting a new campaign it always crashes. When i change it back to "Affects Interloper 1 Chance 80" new campaign then works perfectly. I have checked and rechecked the spelling and the spacing and everything else and this same exact change worked numerous times for me in 1.0.

The only thing i can think might be wrong is that I'm changing the interloper values for both gov4 and Nomad governments but that is what I thought I did in 1.0. Well i will go check just changing one and see if that works. It is not a game breaker for me as the turns are still quick just really annoying that i can't put any FM's in any gov4 now and was curious if anyone else noticed this same problem.

Ok fixed my problem for some reason notepad in windows is doing something weird I got http://www.textpad.com/download/#downloads and it works perfect. Double checked spelling and tried to use notepad by typing the same line back into wordpad from textpad. When I put the notepad version in it crashed and when i put the textpad version it works exact same spelling and spacing. Not sure why notepad is acting up I've used it for years happily as well as other text editors without a problem. Thought of it after reading of a similar problem in editing files from the alex thread.
