Modding Merchants

[Madden]

How do you mod Merchants to achieve valour over time....without them doing anything but trading.

I'm playing a mod that removed that from the vanilla, from which I remember they did unmodded.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if you can increase there trait value unless you give them traits, but you can edit the resource trade value from this file descr_sm_resources.txt

I appreciate the post, but I'm looking to mod the valour, not the trade values.

I appreciate the post, but I'm looking to mod the valour, not the trade values.

then you would have to give them traits.

Is it possible to increase an attribute without traits?

Not besides traits and ancillaries. There aren't building properties that give a character bonuses, they might increase order or whatever, but they don't go through the character_record to do so. It might seem like some general's start with some traits automatically, because they do, but this is a trait. LoyaltyStarter and ReligionStarter are hidden traits that apply 3 Loyalty and 3 Piety to all characters with a 100% chance trigger that fires on every method of character creation.

You could someting along the lines of this:

Trigger_Merchant_On_Resource_VnV_Trigger
   WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd 
   Condition TradingResource
 
   Affects BeanCounter 1 Chance 10
end_monitor

This would give the merchant a 10% chance of aqquiring more experience on a turn during which they trade a resource. BTW, merchants already gain experience like this in the vanilla version.

You could give them a hidden trait that self perpetuates...

You need to script it off TradingResource, as shown above.
