well... if you dont mind doing the conversion to alex.exe changes manually you can do it... (bout 10 min)


have you seen the mod compilation?

Then save !

c) Go - ''Rome - Total War folder/eb/data/text\export_VnVs.txt'' Add one trait and replace one trait ''Rome - Total War folder/eb/data/text\export_VnVs.txt'' folder!

That or just add the command stars to "blooded, Grizzled, Veteran and STE"

basically search for "Blooded" in the EDCT file and make it look like this (just add "Effect command [the corresponding number]")

however this way will only get you the stars... not the cursus honorum

Make sure you have saved the file in the right format (notepad tends to save it in the wrong format when simply hitting "save").

[Medical Toaster]

I have finally got around to modifying this for EB 1.2. Sorry for the delay for those waiting for the file. This is not a save compatible mod. The latest version is Trait Mod for 12. Here is the link

Make sure you have saved the file in the right format (notepad tends to save it in the wrong format when simply hitting "save").

Konny, as I want to do some trait modding myself, could you please enlighten me on how to save it in the correct format in notepad? Great idea though, turning off command penalties for Lover of Beauty.

[Galotta]

same problem. could someone upload that files again?

also medical toasters (great name ;) ) files are lost...
