Modding nicknames ("the Scarred," "the Mad" and such)

[EarlofWarwick]

Colleagues,

Forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere, but does anyone know what file(s) contribute to the granting/earning of the (somewhat annoying, IMHO) nicknames generals can earn?

Can't seem to find them in either of the name-related files (edn and desc_ names).


Thanks in advance,

I can't find the answer to this anywhere. Any ideas?

[Eothese]

In the text folder, export_vnvs.txt
Example, {Abhors_Violence_epithet_desc}the Peaceful

The "nicknames" are linked to several traits. As Eothese wrote, these are given by the epithet lines. If you want to modify or remove these, then the files you're looking for are:


\data: export_descr_character_traits.txt

Open it, and with a simple ctrl+f, search for epithet, and you will see which traits can give nicknames for your characters. Here you can change any conditions, benefits, etc.

Trait looks like this:

Text file:

\text: export_vnvs: as in the above post, you can change the texts themselves to anything you want.

As in the above example, this is what you are looking for here:

Thank you both very much for the answer. I'd been looking for it in the wrong files.

I asked this because in SS 6.3 eight out of ten faction leaders become "Wise". Clearly exagerated.
