Student Add-On V1.4 (OFFICIAL THREAD) - Update August 12

[StrikeQ]

StrikeQ and Belgae present:

a Joint-Venture Production

Student Add-on V1.4 for DLV 4.1!

What does it do?

This add-on aims at adding even more role-playing to DLV:
Now your freshly matured family members have a "student" trait. Instead of using them as child generals, send them off to a city in their first turn to enjoy a civilian education, preparing for a career as city governor. Or send them to a castle to have them choose a military education, preparing for a career as army general.
Send them out in the wild, and they will become... duh, wild.

Once chosen their education, your students have to stay in the settlement until the age of 21, to attend classes. Failing in this will lead to BAD traits...
Be careful when spreading your family members around the world. Make sure they are close enough to the settlement of your choice when their sons come of age!

Potential new family members proposed for adoption or marriage will most of the time already have had a training and have an appropriate career. Some very few will just be bums, though. Watch out!

The already mature family members at the start of the game can choose a governing career by staying in any settlement -to avoid wrong starting careers because of settlement-distances, or a military career by staying outside at the end of the first turn, just like in standard DLV.
They will also acquire the fitting former education, so nobody gets left behind!

Picture this:

Hungover (Bowling with the boys on friday-evenin'...)
I crawl from my bed to my laptop...
Have look what's happenin' in DLV...

O MY GOD!

StrikeQ, truly amazing amount of work done "overnight".

I will restrict myself to playing until my head clears, but after that I will try to add something meaningful...

Mummy, my heady aches...

[StrikeQ]

I've been playing the last couple hours. First time in a long time. Think I need to edit the building triggers some more. Although overall my guys have been getting ~1-2 traits max per 5 years of studying. Which I think is a good medium. Although my only military student got 4 traits ^^

[Belgae]

Indeed, I notice the same...

UPDATE

Version 1.3
Added field training for military students. Those family members who graduate from military school will have the next 10 years for in the field training where they can learn from an experienced general.

A Military Grad can gain Loyalty, Piety, Command, Chivalry, or Dread from another general by learning from him.

Technical side:

The Teacher (Experienced General) and Student (Military Graduate) have to be in the same army and you have to end turn in the wilderness to have a chance to learn anything.

Hasn't received much testing as I'm headed to work. Please post any feedback and/or bugs.

re: "field training for military students"

So its not being in a battle (next to a commanding general) where the student gains various traits, its simply being on campaign, correct?

Really enjoying your mod.

[StrikeQ]

Correct, simply being on a campaign allows the student to learn. There are vannilla triggers for traits gained through battles, unsure if it affects all the family members in the battle or only the "leading general". Though I'm still thinking of adjusting those traits and possibly adding more.

[AP49]

So the teacher general has to have, say, 4 points of chivalry before the graduate can get any +chivalry traits?

[StrikeQ]

Correct, the graduate can still gain chivalry through the usual means. But for the "Teacher" to pass on his knowledge he must have at least 4 in the given attribute (Command, Loyalty, Piety, Dread, Chivalry).

It's so once generals get old and aren't as effective they can pass on/train the new generals instead of all that going to waste.

And if they have more than 4 (6, and 8) there is another increase in chance to learn it.

[AP49]

Well I installed but now I get a CTD just as the intro screen comes up after I start DLV

[scivian]

Well I installed but now I get a CTD just as the intro screen comes up after I start DLV

Same here, replaced with backups and loads fine. Hope you made backups...If not just reinstall DLV and bugfixer1. Current campaign will load as normal.

[StrikeQ]

Alright thanks for the reports, I just uploaded the file before heading to work. Finished with school now so will have a fix posted shortly.

[StrikeQ]

Download updated, CTD fixed. Sorry about that, 'tis what happens when you only spend 30 minutes writing the script =X

[StrikeQ]

Alright well, I've been testing this for about the past 4 hours. And I've found no feasible way to implement it as no viable condition exists. The only way that seems to be possible is to mimic the Mentor Mod and require them to be in a settlement rather than in the field, which would relate more to governors than generals.

I'll probably try some more this afternoon, but doesn't look promising since it most likely would require additional commands to be implemented by CA.

[Lord Finga]

would you mind, if i incorporated your superb mod in my CC submod?

[StrikeQ]

Not at all Lord Finga - if you'd like I could arrange some files with only our additions so it's easily add to other mods. Though that would have to wait until this afternoon. Time for me to get some sleep, just got off work and going back in 6 hours.

In 1.31 has the field training traits/triggers but like I said, doesn't work and currently seems impossible (There isn't an appropriate condition that works outside of a settlement). Though I'm still going to try some things with it.

[StrikeQ]

I believe I've found a working solution for field training. Finishing one last test on it then I'll upload for public use and feedback.

[Wirapuru]

Love these mods that makes DLV even more non-linear! Every turn, faction, general is different from each other because so many stuff crossing with the other, building a spider web of endless sets of almost unique features!! waa juz going cheerful here ^^

I'm still testing it, got yesterday, but so far I liked it v much
Thanks for your great work and effort!
