Here is a tutorial to make vampire generals immortal (as it should be ). Hope somebody finds it useful.
At first you should find somewhere RomeTW-ALX.exe and file chat_filter.san from alexander's folder. File must go to eod2 folder, exe - to main RTW folder, and shortcut to End Of Days must be edited to run EOD2 from ALX.exe.
For example:
Next, find export_descr_character_traits.txt file and add this to the end of traits section:"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-ALX.exe" -show_err -nm -mod:bi\eod2 -enable_editor
and this to the end of triggers section:;------------------------------------------
Trait Immortal
Characters family
Hidden
Level Immortal
Description Immortal_desc
EffectsDescription Immortal_effects_desc
Threshold 1
Next, open export_VnVs.txt from eod2/data/text folder and add this:;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;------------------------------------------
Trigger birth_immortal_vandals
WhenToTest CharacterComesOfAge
Condition FactionType vandals
Affects Immortal 1 Chance 100
;------------------------------------------
Trigger adoption_immortal_vandals
WhenToTest OfferedForAdoption
Condition FactionType vandals
Affects Immortal 1 Chance 100
;------------------------------------------
Trigger lesser_general_immortal_vandals
WhenToTest LesserGeneralOfferedForAdoption
Condition FactionType vandals
Affects Immortal 1 Chance 100
;------------------------------------------
Trigger marriage_immortal_vandals
WhenToTest OfferedForMarriage
Condition FactionType vandals
Affects Immortal 1 Chance 100
;------------------------------------------
Trigger end_turn_catch_immortal_vandals
WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
Condition FactionType vandals
and Trait Immortal = 0
and IsGeneral
Affects Immortal 1 Chance 100
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Finally, add this to export_descr_VnVs_enums.txt:¬--------------------
{Immortal} Immortal
{Immortal_desc}
Hidden VnV for ALX
{Immortal_effects_desc}
No Effects
So, from now all of your rahala generals will be immortal. The same about severins, if you'll add same triggers for them. Enjoy!Immortal

Edit: IMPORTANT!
To play Severin campaign or Year 730 all factions campaign you should download a small fix, by makanyane, here. There are two files in archive, and they must be placed in bi\eod2\data\text folder. If not, you'll experience CTD when trying to start these two campaigns.
Also, custom battles and historical battles (if there will be any) won't work. It's due to limitations of compatibility of RTW-BI and RTW-ALX. Maybe that will be fixed later.
