adding family members

**mastermarty** · July 11, 2008, 09:29 AM

oke, you probebly know what i mean if i say apache family tree.
i don't like it. (really, it stinks)
instead of a proud, strong tree, this is more a bonzai tree

so, is there a way of adding family members to the family?
i've got some experience with adding costom generals, traits, and other stuff, but how do you get them in your family tree (i know it has something to do with the last thing in the faction section of the descr strat)

ive you can help me, thanks

The last thing in the faction section is the relationship of a line of characters. They first have to be mentioned before this line if they are of age (and not dead). Other members of the family like dead parents, children and wifes will only appear here. Have a look at those lines (make a print out perhaps) and have a look at the actual family in the game. That will give you the best idea how these entries are working.

thanks!
i understand that now, how you can ad a so to your faction leader, but how do you inserd a 3rd generation?

You simply take the children of the first generation and start a new relationship line with them. For instance: if "Helmut Schneider" is the son in the first relationship line you use him now as the father (first entry of the new line) in one of the next lines. Make sure to use only names that are associated with this faction (see descr_names.txt)
