Leader portrait categories

sauce · June 20

Have different categories for world leaders, the categories will represent different geographical locations

The portraits will be what's affected

If a nation in Japan gets a new leader, let's say leaders change, the category will keep the portraits consistent and so will it keep names consistent. Maybe for Japan it can share portraits with Korea. This is to simplify the process as a whole in development and modding.

Just to make it easier for modding/leadership changes if leaders change over time

Brazil will share Portuguese/Spanish monarchs

Sub saharan africa will have sub saharan leader portraits

Spanish colonies can share the Spanish category and so will puppets that spawn off of spain/portugal

This will allow for consistent portraits down the line as the nations progress.

Or you could alternatively asign portraits to cultures and as cultures change/dominate a civilisation they change on that. This is a different idea entirely but works the same. The percentage of a nations culture will give it a percentage chance at a leadership portrait. This can be weird tho if you're china and have 1% english population, then having an English leader. Maybe you can have a cut off for it but otherwise the first part of the post is the main idea.

It is already like that.

The group is for the images of the Rulers/Advisors/Generals and for the names for each character.

Já é assim.

O grupo é destinado às imagens dos Governantes/Conselheiros/Generais e aos nomes de cada personagem.

Editor civil:

Are Americans (America in General) from the "European" group?

I assume new groups can be added?

Can be added:


---- EXAMPLE Group name: Polish; ----

Edit file:
game/groups/civsGroups.txt
at the end(important!) of the file add:
Polish;

Or instead Polish use OwnGroupName;
OwnGroupName;


After adding a new group, you must create new files and folders:

---- EXAMPLE Group name: Polish; ----

# 1
Folder with images of Generals:
game/generals/H/NUM
game/generals/XH/NUM
game/generals/XXH/NUM

---- Where 'NUM' is the next number of last folder
-------------------------------------------------------------------

# 2
Folder with images of Rulers:
game/rulersRandom/rulersImages/H/NUM
game/rulersRandom/rulersImages/XH/NUM
game/rulersRandom/rulersImages/XXH/NUM

---- Where 'NUM' is the next number of last folder, the same number as for the generals.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

# 3
Create new file Polish.txt in folder:
game/rulersRandom/

---- This is where you put the names of the Rulers for this Group
-------------------------------------------------------------------

# 4
Create new file Polish.txt in folder:
game/generalsRandom/names

-------------------------------------------------------------------
