Identity lost!?!

[Ruprecht]

Hey all,


I have been trying to get my favorite General to become Faction Heir by giving some Authority Ancillaries to him. But something weird happened and now he is immune to all Ancillaries and his name Tool tip changed to something funky.





From memory the Ancillaries i tried to give him and may have caused this are:

give_ancillary "This" kingmaker1
give_ancillary "This" scribe_ancillary
give_ancillary "This" crown_britain2
give_ancillary "This" herald
give_ancillary "This" protector


Also i tried to give him a trait : FirstAmongFirsts .... but i think this is a triggered Trait, however it wasen't recognized by the console anyway. The funny thing is he is not immune to Traits, only Ancillaries. Also although all the above were executed without error, they did not show up in the character screen and apparently no effects from them either.


Anyone know what the deal is here ?



EDIT: I just found that another General of mine is also immune to Ancillaries, but his name Tool tip is normal. This makes me think it wasen't the Ancillaries i gave Etmond that caused this problem.

Have you given him 8 ancillaries? That's the limit.

Also the weird tooltip is the result of giving him a trait that increases his "level" to something not recognised in the game. For example, generals are level 0, heirs are 1 and faction leaders are 2. You can set higher levels which is what you've done through giving him traits but the game doesn't have any levels that high listed for the character.

Hey man,

Hmm, that is both interesting and amusing. So it would seem i gave him super-natural powers.

But yes he had 8 Ancillaries before i even touched him, that explains that part thankyou. As for the Trait that made him super-human, after looking at the list of traits, the only traits i added were:

AssassinCatcher
KindRuler
BattleChivalry

I diden't think that would raise the the level beyond 2. Oh he also has the "Heir apparent" Trait that i gave him.


I am curious to who gets chosen as faction Heir with Etmond's godly level.


At any rate, would "Etmond the super general" cause any problems in his current state, or should i just leave him with his funky tool tip ?


Thanks much man + rep added.

[Caesar Clivus]

No he shouldn't cause any problems. The tooltip is just a missing text label.

In that case i shall make a new label : Etmond The Sexy.


Cheers.

I'm not sure how to respond to that. so i'll simply say lol

[MariusHealth]

More interesting is the fact that you've got Kwarezmians in Navarra!

[Stolet]

Maybe they came to buy some javelin mercenaries

Lol yeah, remnants of the constant Jihad on Toledo. Thank god i'm not at war with them, as they have 3 big ugly stacks outside Toulouse that have been stuck there for ever!





It most inconvenient, because i would really like to pull my troops from Toulouse before everyone dies of old age.

Haha, i don't know what it is they're doing there, but whatever it is it's taking a Long Looooonnnnnggg time to do.

[worldsdead]

never understood why ai cannot continue attacking enemy factions after crusade/jihad. why don't those three stacks continue to another city owned by the nation at war at. seems it should be easy. if sicily is in the middle of egypt and cairo falls why doesn't it go home or attack alexandria! no it stays right next to cairo, owned by france, as venice conquers all of italy!

[Stolet]

So true, one of the major problems, and it seems no mod manages to solve it.

I think the pathfinding AI is largely to blame - seems like medieval armies are basicly oldschool cnc harvesters - one goal in mind but with full deathdefying dedication. For the youngsters - they would frequently drive through the enemy base to harvest ore and get killed off. Those armies try to calculate a path home - failing that, they just can't cope with the idea to settle into french castles.

I'M OOOOOOLD!



They could have bought javelin mercenaries from a lot closer to home.

[Stolet]

But they wouldn't be Catalans xD
