Building/Ancillary Issue

[Theodotos I]

I’ve been having difficulties with the triggers for a few ancillaries I put in the game the other day. Their acquisition is tied to a building tree with a new ancillary for each level of the tree. Each ancillary also excludes the others. Here’s the thing. Each new level that is constructed, the new governor gets the lowest-level ancillary. At times that is the only ancillary he acquires—at others he acquires all the available ancillaries at one time, even though they are mutually exclusive. Here’s my code:

    Condition SettlementBuildingFinished >= cabildo
                                    and not Trait Negro >= 1
                                    and not Trait Mestizo >= 1

Thanks ahead for any help.

I'm not 100% sure what the problem is. Is the problem that the Governor is acquiring multiple ancillaries or that he isn't acquiring multiple ancillaries?

Are all these buildings part of the same tech tree? If so then the way you've set up the ancillaries means that for a high level building it's possible to get all the ancillaries. For example if a Governor builds an audiencia_large this satisfies the conditions for any ancillary requiring an audiencia_small or better. So the Governor could get the audiencia and presidente ancillaries by building an audiencia_large.

The following code should prevent a Governor getting the presidente ancillary if they lack the audiencia one (I'm unsure if you can require that a Governor possess one ancillary before they can possess another).

It's that he is not acquiring the proper ancillaries and acquiring more than one when they are all set up to mutually exclude the others. In other words, he should get the building-appropriate ancillary--and no others.

are they all in same tree?

if so and say
audiencia_large
is the top level - then if he's in settlement when that's built he'll also fulfill conditions for

>= audiencia_small
>= residence_corregidore
etc... because you're using greater than as well as equals
(if its in same tree audiencia_large is greater than audiencia_small)

what are you doing at the ancillary text level? In RTW you used to be able to set 3 anc's that were definitely mutually exclusive, not sure if that works same way in M2 or not...

Ah-hah! So I should just use the = sign? At the ancillary text level I have(for alcalde)
