    Default Traits

    Suppanut is looking for a full time assistant to help him write descriptions for various traits added to RS2. This is a really important aspect of RS2, and the applicant needs to be serious about helping, and committed. Please PM\contact him if you are willing to help. The more dedicated helpers here, the faster it will get done....in theory, anyway.

    Cool, On the subject of traits, well sort of , i have noticed that the bonuses for characters seem to be few and far between, new characters start with nothing, or almost nothing. and i guess we have dropped the whole military service traits thing?

    Suppanut is working on this, and I thought had got it working.

    We do need some decisions about what bonuses the new traits should bring though, the generic ones that is. ....and we need them urgently.

    This mod NEEDS to be released by the end of the month.

    Yes, I think we are.
    Besides which:
    1) We need to get this out to the fans - I suspect even then there'll be some fine tuning that just can't happen within the beta context and probably bug fixing too
    2) I need to give my wife her husband back again - and I've said that we'll be released by the end of the month.

    I agree. Once released, we'll just have to fine tune a lot of things.

    Maybe its worth setting a rolling deadline for the moment Just so we can finish major elements i.e. unit descriptions, building images and any other "big" elements.

    as long as we tell them to check the forum for updates, i dont think they will mind, the progress you have made since RS 1.5 is staggering, the traits system can be tuned and added later, it does not take away from the gameplay, it will just add a Role playing element to the game.

    Unit Descriptions literally have two or three remaining. And they're written, for the most part, which means we just need to edit and it's done.

    oK JUST DID THE LATEST UPDATE, went back to my campaign ended turn and POW segestica which has been mine for about 10 turns now was bribed with 2 characters and a full stack, my top general at the moment (4 stars and 2 influence) and his son, all gone, i look a bit closer at him and all traits seem to be useless, there might be a nice long list of traits but all seem to have no effect well at least thats what they say in the description box.
    Examples :
    optimist
    slow
    hard worker
    Hasty
    confidant
    considerate
    loyal
    passionate
    honest.
    senatorial class
    medium client network
    small estate
    the last three from a guy with no influence, loyalty or management skills and at 57 it says he is young

    Yes, I've flagged this as an important issue that needs fixing in the dev forum. Unfortunately it was work that Calvin started and was never able to finish - I have asked Suppanut and Squid to look at these as a matter of urgency.
    Here are the list of personality traits....maybe we could get some input on what effects they should have??

    To quote Calvin:
    Base Personalities

    1. Optimist -> Dreamer
    2. Pessimist -> Depressed
    3. Honest
    4. Dishonest
    5. Shy -> Introverted
    6. Confident -> Charismatic
    7. Intelligent -> Genius
    8. Slow -> Feebleminded
    9. Considerate -> Kind -> Benevolent
    10. Harsh -> Brutal -> Savage
    11. Hard Working
    12. Procrastinator -> Lazy -> Bone-idle
    13. Passionate -> Zealous
    14. Hot-headed -> Angry -> Filled with rage
    15. Stoic -> Indomitable
    16. Hasty -> Careless
    17. Loyal -> Fiercely Loyal
    18. Conceited -> Arrogant -> Pompous
    I've designed a rather intricate anti-trait system that goes along with these so that a character 'makes sense'. There are enough traits to allow for many different combinations so there shouldn't be too many 'clones' running around.

    I changed a spelling error in a description. That's all.
