Trait help

[Amaranth]

One of my generals (one of the "good" one actually) got this trait "Unleashed ambition" which according to explanation "significantly decreases loyalty and troop morale". I looked it up in traits file but couldn't find it or another trait it is related. What is the exact name of this trait so I can remove it, I hate it when my good generals/family members gets harsh negative traits for no reason.

[preachercheeze]

not sure... Disobediant perhaps?

does it not say the exact numbers of loyalty decrease?

Thanks a lot! And I guess it's about general being distant as it s called "Far_Loyalty".

Tada. They get it from being far away and not for a good reason

Makes sense now.. I got to learn more about all of these

For future reference, if you cant find a trait in the actual traits file but you know what it's called in-game, look it up in export_vnvs.txt in the SS6.3\data\text folder. This file holds the text descriptions as they appear in-game. So for the Unleashed Ambition trait we have:

{Tempted1_desc}A wise King would either have this man put on trial for his traitorous thoughts or brought back to court to be watched carefully...
{Tempted1_effects_desc}Significant loss of loyalty and troop morale on the field!
{Tempted1}Unleashed ambition

The name within the { } on the last line is the name of the trait in export_descr_character_traits.txt, allowing you to search for it to see what it does and what triggers it

[Meneth]

What's also useful to know, though, is the trigger for the ANTI-trait:

Trigger Near_Loyalty_trigger
 WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd

 Condition IsGeneral
       and not IsFactionHeir
       and not IsFactionLeader
       and DistanceCapital < 25
       and not Trait Near_Loyalty >= 4
       and not FactionType mongols
       and not FactionType slave

 Affects Near_Loyalty 1 Chance 20

So if you see one of your generals get "Unwatched by King" (the first stage of Far_Loyalty), you can send him back to the capital to regain his loyalty, or even let him stay close for a while to build up some loyalty.

Ooh both are really good to know thanks a lot I'll try to gain more knowledge about these.
