Changing Royal Family Settings: A Glitch!?

[Dogge]

Hello folks,

I need some help, please.

There's a certain glitch (?) I've stumbled upon while trying to change the starting Royal Family settings for Muscovy. The glitch seems to be valid for all eras.

For clarity's sake, the file I'm talking about is the following:

"maps/europe/kings - Muscovy;800" -- (again, the glitch seems to persist with all eras, so "800" is just an example).

When I open the file, it reads:


"[king]
name = Nikita

[queen]
name = Nadya

[prince_1]
name = Oleg

[prince_2]
name = Ivan"


However, when I actually play the game, I have only one family member, the king, and his name is Aleksei. It is the same in all eras, although the files that pertain to each era read differently. It is as if the setting for the Royal Family for Muscovy is not affected by this file at all. And yet I seem to have no problems when I try to edit the Royal Family for Germany.

Now, I only tried Germany and Muscovy so far, so I don't know which of them is the rule, and which one is the exception.

Any ideas? :confused:

I encountered this problem several times too.

In some cases the reason is that the file has diferent spelling that the kingdom in map/europe/maps/kingdoms_800.ini

in some cases, like Jerusalem, it doesn't work no matter what you do with it. In those cases I have no idea.. I tried capitals, non-capitals in the beggining, I think I've tried everything, but some kingdoms can't simply be red :sad:

I never edited kings and royal families since Elvain did such a superb job with his mapchanges, so my advice is rather general:
Check wether the filename-format fits the filename-format for other nations precisely. Also check wether the name is the correct one and really relates to Muscovy (don't get confused with internal names and the name that actually appears on the screen, etc.).

Also try recreating the file from scratch. Maybe there's an illegal character like a tab somewhere and you can't see it.

Elvain, your problem with Jerusalem is identical to mine with Muscovy. The Jerusalem king is named "Pierre", although in the file "jerusalem;1000" his name is different, and he has sons, unlike in the actual game.

I did check the "kingdoms;800" file as you suggested but have found nothing of help in the way of solving the Muscovy problem. The names are matching. The only thing of note that I found is the "human = 1" setting when looking at England. However, this cannot be the thing we're both looking for since, as I said earlier, I was able to edit Germany, while Germany has "human = 0" set in her "kingdoms;800" place.

This is simply frustrating. I do think it is a glitch. A bug. If I find anything of interest I will keep you posted.

Thank you all for your replies.
