Library or school in Rohan?

**stevehoos** · January 09, 2012, 07:32 AM

Do the people of Rohan not read, or am I missing something in the building browser?

They don't read

Wow that's really stupid, they would be such dolts, and bad at most things.

I also find that they faction leaders can go traitless for half of their lives making that aspect really mundane.

When a building is about to finished(1 turn left) set taxes to very,rest of time keep taxes at low/normal.Your governors should get enough traits if you do that.

Yeah they send their kings or kings-to-be to study in Gondor because all they talk about in Rohan is horses.

In fact, their language is an adaption of the sounds a horse makes.

That's one strange simplification

The Eorlings, or the Rohirrim as they were called in Gondor, still used their own northern tongue; for the Riders of Rohan had come out of Éothéod near the sources of Anduin only some five hundred years before the days here spoken of.
- HoME 12

Most of the Men of the northern regions of the Westlands were descended from the Edain of the First Age, or from their close kin. Their languages were, therefore, related to the Adûnaic, and some still preserved a likeness to the Common Speech ... From the lands between the Gladden and the Carrock came the folk that were known in Gondor as the Rohirrim, Masters of Horses. They still spoke their ancestral tongue, and gave new names in it to nearly all the places in their new country: and they called themselves the Eorlings, or the Men of the Riddermark. But the lords of that people used the Common Speech freely, and spoke it nobly after the manner of their allies in Gondor; for in Gondor whence it came the Westron kept still a more gracious and antique style.

Not really, while I can see its read like that haha, my bad!
I do not know weither their language were influenced by horse sounds so do not deny it (never been that interested in Tolkiens linguistics), just pointing at that it can hardly be said been based upon horse sounds, from what do have read.

How does Libraries/Universities affect traits anyway?

**stevehoos** · January 09, 2012, 08:32 AM

Yes the lure implies common speech, but the culture would certainly be exposed to Gondor, so it makes no sense to me that we don't have an option for a libray.

AFAIK I remember one chapter said that they 'sung' their history with 'hymns' without books or words-
This would render them without books, but bards and something else?
(This is according to the 'double-translations' which I read in my youth and translate back into English by myself...

)

@ Påsan
Dunno which traits/ancs that are ingame that will be affected but it can look like this. Triggers make traits/ancs available and those triggers have conditions;

Code:

;------------------------------------------
Trigger sitting_around_town_with_university
WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
Condition IsGeneral
and EndedInSettlement
and RemainingMPPercentage = 100
and SettlementBuildingExists = university
Affects MathematicsSkill 1 Chance 5 
Affects Cultured 1 Chance 3

The Tomb line counts as School/Library/University for the Northmen factions(Dale, Eriador, Dale).

Does it effect traits to have one built in a settlement?

**Bloodly** · January 12, 2012, 08:50 PM

Yes. So it's a good idea to build them.

...I don't think they've messed with it since 2.4. I've had personal issues that has kept me from home and thus Third Age for a few months.
