hey i am playing as erididor and gandulf received the man of the our reward. but he does not show up on family tree. does anybody know if this is a bug

I think he's not on the family-tree because he is not a family-member, but a "General" like the starting-generals of the Holy Roman Empire in M2TW.

Eriador has two family trees, one is Aragorns and one is Halbarads. It's cause if you play Gondor, Aragorn will spawn from Eriador, and Halbarad becomes king. Gandalf is in Halbarads tree

That explains a lot. (In regards to an error I was getting when doing the name lists for Dac when I tried to delete the silly Breelander women names for the Ranger faction.) I'm assuming Baron S didn't tell me one of the women in the Halbarad family tree.

Is there a similar situation with the Silvan Elves family tree, I was trying to add Celeborn into the tree and it kept coming up with an error (even though I had made sure his age was set correctly with relation to the rest of the family)

How did you try to add him?

**Old War Horse** · February 20, 2012, 01:56 PM

I tried to make him faction leader

**knicolas2** · February 21, 2012, 01:54 PM

how do you do that? and can the faction heir be changed without killing him?

**lolIsuck** · February 21, 2012, 01:57 PM

1. In descr_strat you change the family tree.
2. Baron Samedi's submod does I think so it should be possible

**knicolas2** · February 21, 2012, 02:04 PM

thanks

is it still possible to change it within a savegame or must i restart?

**lolIsuck** · February 21, 2012, 02:08 PM

Do what? descr_strat is only read on the start of the game so that is not save-game compatible and I highly doubt the other thing is save-game compatible.

**knicolas2** · February 21, 2012, 02:13 PM

ok thanks

didn´t know that . then i have to kill my current faction heir

I always thought that Man of the Hour was only for captains, basically 'promoting' a captain to a general (essentially just creating a new general). Was it actually Gandalf, Elven Warrior, or just some guy named Gandalf? It does seem odd that a character who already belongs to a family tree can be adopted into another one.
