need some help with desc_strat

[White Knight2]

I'm trying to insert a new family member in my roman campaign(one who does not belong to the maximus family). I want him to be part of the family tree as well so I've paired him up with a female member of the maximus family (sextus Maximus's daughter). But when I run the game I get a CTM and error message "could not find spouse xxx". Here are the lines I've added in the script

character_record Fadia, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 13, alive, never_a_leader

relative Sextus Fabius, Poppaea, Fadia, Decius Fabius, Marcus Fabius, end

relative Marcus Livius_Drusus, Fadia, end

Does anyone know what am i doing wrong?.... would really appreciate some help.

I don't see anything wrong in those lines. Anyway the number in the error message tells you the line number which has the problem. I recommend using Notepad++ to edit the file, so you can easily see the line numbers.

Hard to tell more without seeing the whole file. Maybe you want to upload it so I can take a look.

AFAIK, you cannot marry a character to an existing family member in DS. Also, she may be a bit too young to marry anyway. The game seems to recognize 16 yrs old as the an 'adult'. Try making her older and see if that works. Otherwise, you'll have to choose another female.

Tried editing the age, still got the same error. I even tried adding a new female,related her to an existing family member, and then paired her up with this guy...still the same error. Funny thing is I tried the same exact procedure with the carthage faction and it worked fine. The lines in bold were the ones added there.

character_record Bomilkar, male, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 13, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Bisaltes, male, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 9, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Actaee, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 60, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Althaia, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 28, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Polymede, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 40, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Xanthe, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 20, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Sophonisba, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 10, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Agapia, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 16, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Muttunbaal, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 6, alive, never_a_leader

relative Hanno, Actaee, Azrubal, Hannibal, Hasdrubal, Mago, end
relative Azrubal, Polymede, Theages, Theodekles, Sophonisba, end
relative Hannibal, Althaia, Agapia, Bomilkar, Bisaltes, Muttunbaal, end
relative Theages, Xanthe, end
relative Juba, Agapia, end

Here is the copy of file I was editing. The edited lines are at the end of roman faction.

Ooops, sorry wrong file. her's the right one.

You have to give Fadia her surname, like this:

character_record Fadia Fabius, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 15, alive, never_a_leader

relative Sextus Fabius, Poppaea, Fadia Fabius, Decius Fabius, Marcus Fabius, end

relative Marcus Livius_Drusus, Fadia Fabius, end

That did the trick. Thanks for the tip Matunorix

No problem.
