A spot on depiction I'm sure you'll agree.

Something changed in him that day. All his comrades died, but it can hardly be said that Aston survived. All that's now is hatred incarnate, and his thirst for revenge can never be sated.

This is not on topic but I destoryed mongol force of make nightmare for khan by killing all his henchmen and sons then chase him by fighting with him then let him retreat over again until he has 3 men left and I come for him and destoryed mongol

Certainly for role play, keeping the bloodline 'pure' can be good fun in a silly crusader kings kind of way! As you say, a bit of a double edged sword though. That is a very good tip though! Logistics is one of the best going.

I always set the youngest princess to marry the king's grandkid, if they're at same age. Never get the incest trait tho. Funny enough, the 2nd n 3rd princes who married to noble ladies end up having odd offsprings 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well if your Royal bloodline is becoming a problem with too many negative traits that you don't like you can think about changing the dynasty. Use whatever roleplay method you like. I usually let one of my captains or generals take over the kingdom and leading all the royal house members into disastrous "accidents". Then it goes as normal but with a completely new bloodline and new surname. You can also do this with a distant cousin to keep some of the original bloodline to the new dynasty

Thank you very much. This video did take an insane amount of work; often those videos aren't the ones that get the views. Sods law... Either way, I'm glad you found it useful. :)

Gone up a bit

@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH how do you do the "give_trait" to Faction Leaders? Ive tried with a new campaign as Spain , with King Alfonso. I went to see his family tree, his daughters are named "el Valiente" so I assumed that it might be his family name, same with Prince Rodrigo, but there seem no way to entered stats for Faction Leaders and Heirs. What can I do to make the "give_trait" to work on Kings and Princes? Ive tried that : give_trait "Alfonso el_Valiente" liar 4 But it doesn't recognize the character. I also tried like you showed, : give_trait this liar 4 Nothing

@@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014 if give_trait "this" Liar 4 That just worked for me, the character was selected and his info page up. Did you miss the quote marks maybe? Hope that works for you! Happy gaming! And of course, expect rebellions on that run if you get the trait to stick! 😛

+30k now xD

It's the only way...

In rtw my general got killed first when the enemy onager fired

Thank you kindly!

Glad it was helpful! I learnt a lot putting it together - it's more in depth than I had ever realised...

Or you can savescum if you get a bad trait.

Thank you!! Because you used the word 'perusing' (a favourite of mine) I will personally look that up! The first thing I think of is the "timescale" right near the top of the descr_strat file. From what I've fiddled with, changing it from 2.00 to 0.50 seems to work... might have some knock on effects but it makes the age and date run in sync (I think).

Also, the ever trusty total war center has a thread on this (and probably more similar threads). www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?175383-12-turns-per-year-with-proper-aging&highlight=timescale+med+II

Hooow

how you drown them?

@@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014 get a very very weak fleet and put your general on it. Then attack another fleet and hopefully you will lose, killing your general.

I believe it is literally the general himself who needs the kills...

Cheers. Murder is often the answer... 😂

Thank you verily! 😃

Not currently, but an interesting idea! I'm adding it to the list!

To get chivalry in battles, you have to fight at even or worse odds, the worse the odds the better. What you do in the battle also helps - standing back just being a commander as opposed to getting stuck in and risking your life. Getting an heroic victory helps. Isn't it wonderful how M2TW makes you do the opposite to what you would normally do - always fight at the best odds possible - and denies you the purpose of strategic moves, which is to be the firstest with the mostest?

Dread is easy

Chiv good for governor Dread good for general Faction with chivalrous leader tend to have good reputation. (Number of enemies/allies also affect rep). The best I can get for dread leader was dubious rep. While chiv leader led me to very trustworthy

depends... Chivalry is good for governors and generals, ass Hass Arfn said. It helps grow city and castle populations while allowing higher tax rates. For generals, it gives additional morale to your troops. Dread is good for generals in distant lands, as your generals that have high dread drops enemy morale. It's amazing when you can just flank a huge enemy army with just your general charging their rear and all of them routs. Chivalry is easy to get when you build churches, and town halls. Ending the battle when prompted, occupying the settlement, and releasing prisoners give chivalry. Also, winning battles not in your favor and doing the above gives chivalry as well. Dread is gained when your general is in the same city when you're recruiting spies/assassins. Executing prisoners, exterminating the populace, and winning battles that are heavily in your favor gives dread, as well as assassinating other captains/generals/agents.

@@earvindinoso7689 This was great. Thank you

I suppose by removing the triggers lower in the file you essentially do just that!

They all have them counted up in the background but it only matters for the Faction Leader.

@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH Thank you for explaining me!

Holy Roman Empire on the Teutonic Kingdoms Campaign

Unusual to be that good in other aspects but so poor at authority. Either a strange lack of authority traits or he may have so many that the game has gone into negative (like my example In the video)

Authority is also linked globally .. if you only have like 3 settlements, then who gives a f*** what you think. Age is also involved. Years in office. Damn it really goes deep

There's a fair chunk in detail in there for sure. The basic principle is to kill off terrible faction heirs before they can breed. That's the main thing. 😅

T stands for tier, so it basically means “level”

I will happily take that accolade! A history hit fan I assume!?

@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH you gotta have your own voice otherwise people will ignore you. Besides I’m pretty sure his voice cadence is copyright. Like the how it’s made guy on history channel that particular style of voice over is copyright

PEASANT

I appreciate the criticism.... When I made this video, what was a fairly small idea grew and grew into a big big video - I spent more effort on this than I think any other video on the channel. This video was always meant as an overview - to highlight what traits were relevant to authority and thus what to look out for, rather than an in detail look at exactly how to get them. In the end it was incredibly detailed at looking at traits but as you say, not exactly practical in showing how to get them. It is something I would like to cover in future. Hopefully when I do, it will be a little more practical. This video in many ways breaks from my usual (more methodical) breakdown of modding. In some ways I'm quite proud of how detailed it is but as you highlight, in future I'll probably need to be clearer with whether it is a flashguide / overview or a more methodical guide.

@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH Thanks for the response! If you leave notice here for those other videos as they are published, I'm confident that many people would click after them. :)

To increase chivalry is simple. Build small church/masjid 800fl. Get 1 chivalry Next turn, go outside. Destroy it for 266. Get in, rebuild it. Another chivalry point. Do it 16 times to get saint ruler (5 chiv, 3 auth) It also give religious activity (devout religious 3 chiv 5 piety) And chances of active builder trait, architect n overseer trait (build discount). Since he move every turn, it help cancel any ignorance, corrupt, drink, extravagant trait. So it cost about 8000fl and 16 turn to get 8 chiv, 3 auth, 5 piety. NEVER DESTROY BUILDING WHEN THE GENERAL INSIDE THE SETTLEMENT!!

@@hassarfn3557 I appreciate your cleverness. This is not what I'm asking for.

You can just slow the speed of the video to make it for your own pace :)

@@PatriciaRocha-kr7ut I'll stick with the feedback that I provided.

Hello! I do appreciate the criticism and I think alongside another similar comment to yours, I think I have come to agree with you.... When I made this video, what was a fairly small idea grew and grew into a big big video - I probably spent more effort on this than I think any other video on the channel. In doing so I definitely over-egged the pudding. This video was always meant as an overview - to highlight what traits were relevant to authority and thus what to look out for, rather than an in detail look at exactly how to get them. In the end it became an incredibly detailed look at traits, but as you say, not exactly paced or presented in an effective manner. This video in many ways breaks from my usual (more methodical) breakdown of modding. Of course, this isn't modding and so the video took a different direction in its presentation style. In some ways I'm quite proud of how detailed it is, but as you highlight, in future I'll need to find a clearer way of presenting so much information. I think it was a result of the video growing so much from its intended scale... I suppose it's one of the pitfalls of branching out into new styles of videos. Anyway, I've gone on long enough but I appreciate your comments - they confirmed what I sort of knew but needed to hear to properly improve the next of these that comes along.

@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH Awesome. Thanks for the response. Feel free to leave notice here for me (and others) to access those videos once they're available. I'd love to get to them once they're out.

Poor performance ;) Keep working at it.
