    Default Princess Tracker

    So, when i try to find a woman for my prince, it is normally extremely hard to find a princess, and that is why i suggest that , when the messages that announce that a foreign princess has come of age, that it says where they are, like all other units. I have a huge spy/diplomat net to cover as much ground in Europe as possible to find any princesses, but its still extremely hard to find them.

    It's not possible. Hard-coded and such. (Well, maybe it's possible, but it would require a huge script and slow down game)

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that message is hard-coded. Unless you know the scripting command for it, of course. In that case I can script it for you. But I don't think its there.

    I know this is cheating, but toggle_fow will show the entire map to you, making those pesky princesses slightly easier to find (it's what I do to find them)

    And it's cheating. However, if you don't care about that, it's the best way.

    I have no regrets. Besides, how else am I to see the nations of the world get pwned by their neighbours? Also, historically, if a marriage agreement was to be reached, a diplomat didn't have to wander endlessly to find a suitable princess, he would just go to the capital and ask.

    I second that, it is totally funny to imagine a high ranking diplomat to find a princess who cowers in some obscure wood or in Italy around Milan where the princesses have coffee together in most of my games!

    Ok it's been a while since I've played a campaign, but dont all princesses come of age in the faction's capital? Or is that just when the faction leader is out in the field? Or am I going totally mad?

    They come of age in whatever settlement their father is in. If he's not currently in any settlement, then they comes of age in the capitol.

    the thing is, normally, they move away from the capital city in the turn they come of age, and that can make the finding quite hard
    How do i turn off the fog of war, btw?

    I second that (well, third)
    But there is a "reveal_tile" scripting command. But that's too hard to code in with the message, eh?

    It would be impossible because character names are random.

    toggle_fow... turn it off when yr done.

    cheating maybe technically, but then weddings are basically win-win and besides, i only use the console to make the game harder on me as a rule.
