    Default Modding cursus honorum ranks

    Friends and comrades, I humbly beseech those much wiser then I for advice on how to edit the cursus honorum ranking system endemic to vanilla. More specifically and for the sake of clarity, I find the Roman faction titles which correspond with promotions and advancements in a generals rank to be rather anachronistic. What I would like to be able to do is change the titles associated with the advancements through the Roman cursus honorum (tribune, quaestor, praetor, etc). I have identified two possible items within the db subset as having bearing on these qualities, "cursus_honorum_level_requirements" and "character_skill_level_detail". Unfortunately, neither of these items has provided me with an enumeration of political ranks which correspond with a generals rating/star rank. Any insights or advice would be hugely appreciated. Thank you for reading and please ask for clarification if any of this is ambiguous.

    Strength and Honor Brothers,

    Lucius Vorenus

    cursus honorum level requirements has a rank value which determines which level/star the general must achieve before being eligible for that position.

    The titles names are done in the .loc files (local_en data pack) and i think are in the traits.loc or something like that

    Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar. The titles were precisely where you said they would be. I will try making the adjustments tonight based on the information you provided. Thank you for your tremendous assistance and guidance with this matter, it is greatly appreciated.

    Sir, I've imported the "character_trait_levels.loc" file and integrated it with an existing mod. I have changed the cursus honorum ranks pursuant to my requirements but have been unable to effect the change in the actual game (either saved or new). The imported content is displayed in red font color when I view it in the PFM 3.5 program, which I assume indicates some type of conflict. Are you aware of any other file which may require modification in conjunction with the one which you referenced, as in some other area which refers specifically to these titles and needs to be concurrently modded to have the desired effect? I will continue to search for such a file, but would be hugely appreciative if you could enlighten my ignorance once again. Thank you for your time sir.

    OK, I've reconfigured the file structure within the mod I'm trying to use this file with and have since been able to alleviate the red font issue, but still can't get the changes to show up in game.
