Why you dont ask XGM mod leader for using some of their ancillaries?
they had made some new traits for greeks

[dvk901]

We have permission to use Repman's Leadership Mod from BareBones....my guess would be it's better. But that's just a guess. Squid would know.

[Squid]

Repman's stuff was what I'm talking about in the list with the leadership system.

[cherryfunk]

What do the 'genetics' and leadership traits do?

[Squid]

Genetics will be stuff where a son (or daughter which is already done) will either be similar their parent or opposite to their parent. So if the father is brave, and the son is like the father he will have a bigger chance of being brave, if he is not like his father he will have a bigger chance of being a coward, etc, etc.

The leadership stuff, is the character rising through the military ranks (i.e. centurion, tribune, legate) or the equivalent civilian ranks. This will involve a whole tonne of traits and ancillaries.

EDIT: With leadership will be culture specific faction leader/heir titles

[dvk901]

And fix the Governors? Heehee.

[cherryfunk]

With leadership will be culture specific faction leader/heir titles

Are these all worked out already? Is it faction-specific or just culture-specific? (greek/roman/eastern/barbarian are the cultures, right?)

[Squid]

I certainly don't have them all worked out yet, and if people could find appropriate titles I could even do faction specific.

What repman had was:

Roman:
Leader: Principus Senatus
Heir: Future Principus Senatus

Greek:
Leader: Basileus
Heir: Future Basileus

Barbarian:
Leader: Rex
Heir: Fillius Rex

All of these are subject to change and if I get ranks for each faction I can make it faction specific. I'd also still need egyptian, carthaginian, and eastern cultural ranks at the very least.

I know he was working on Carthaginian just before he moved on to MTW2, you might PM him and ask if he ever finished it?

[cherryfunk]

I think we can make it faction specific, shouldn't be too hard. For example the Belgae, Boii and Arverni would all use the same titles; the Getai and Skythians would use the same, etc.

How many levels of titles would you need? Just leader and heir? Can we have more than that?

[Squid]

At the very least leader and heir (since those traits exist already in the game though are genetic for all factions) any additional titles can be done in a variety of ways, either through ancillaries, if there are limited amounts of the title in the game (if you were doing Defender of the North, Defender of the South, etc, type titles), or via the military rank system.

With appropriate titles I can create a rank system for each culture and/or faction.

Sorry about that, I only saw the first part in your other message.

[Squid]

I've been thinking about trying to come up with a way to make a diplomat specialize their skills for a certain faction/culture. So that if your diplomat deals with greeks alot, he beomes better at negotiating with them. Is this a good idea? Should I go forward with trying to find out if there's someway that I can implement this through traits/ancillaries?

[cherryfunk]

It makes sense, and it would be cool. But it's not a HUGE deal, if you have more pressing work to do.

[dvk901]

Since this is your area, you do whatever you like Squid. I think any of these ideas are going to make RS a lot more interesting.
