Question about Faction Leaders

[Derpy Hooves]

Okay, in alpaca's script-o-ram it says how to script an army that appears out of nowhere. Is it also possible to have the faction leader appear in that appearing army?

[Ishan]

Not sure it will work but i think spawn a general with FactionLeader trait with that army and then via console command remove the trait for the existing leader, family tree will be screwed up, don't know what will happen never tried such a thing.

Yes you can if the Faction Leader is spawned off the map, like in Brittania. The Norwegian King starts off the map and then is spawned on turn 10.

Does Haakon Haakonsson get children/traits when off the map?

[Ishan]

His family tree will expand but he will not get traits as all traits are based on some on-map activities.

[Vegas_Bear]

When he spawns you give him his traits and ancillaries. While he is off the map he doesn't earn/lose them.
