Crusader Kings II

Care to share a little of what goes into making new traits?

I haven't really done any advanced stuff, but here's something:

male_redguard = {
	congenital = yes
	birth = yes

	martial = 3
	stewardship = 1
	intrigue = 1
	diplomacy = -1
	learning = -2

	opposites = {
		male_altmer
		female_altmer
		male_dunmer
		female_dunmer
		male_orsimer
		female_orsimer
	}
	opposite_opinion = -5
	same_opinion = 5
}

Opposites can be used to change relations with a particular trait. There's some stuff you can put in it, you can get far by just looking at paradox's traits. Every trait has an event attached to it, otherwise you just couldn't be able to get it.

Is it possible to create brand new events, or is it hardcoded? I cant seem to find the file containing the event descriptions.

It's very possible. The descriptions are in localisation/textX files. This is also a helpful resource

It was pretty odd to see there's a robin hood themed event line. I never had that.
