Description:

This is an overhaul to all of the existing generic traits that Lords and Heroes of many factions have when recruited for the first time.

  • Acts as a base for my other mod, the Personality Traits Overhaul – All Factions mod. Works great together with that mod.
  • All traits have a limit of 3 trait effects.
  • All altered trait effects are kept in line with the philosophy of the trait as much as possible.
  • All existing trait effects must be kept but can be adjusted, i.e. from a character buff to an army buff.
  • All of the effect values are adjusted to be as equal in strength as possible and they use pre-determined numbers.

The philosophy of this mod and my companion mod is based on the High Elves system of "Battle", "Army" and "Campaign" bias for each type of trait. However, since not all traits in the game belong to only one of these categories, I’ve added a fourth category that I’ve called "Triumvirate" – which is basically just a mix of the other categories, but still limited to 3 trait effects.

  • Battle – These traits focus primarily on effects that affects the character.
  • Army – These traits will mostly buff own armies and/or debuff enemy armies.
  • Campaign – Mostly affecting things on the campaign map.
  • Triumvirate – A mix of the above categories.

All of the data is kept in a spreadsheet so that I may stay sane during editing or referencing.

Traits
  • 14 traits are affected by this mod.
  • Strong, Determined, Tough, Weapon Master, Aggressive, Fleet-footed, Cunning, Knowledgeable, Intelligent, Disciplined, Confident, Tactician, Strategist, Perceptive.

Please report any missing, non-functioning trait effects, other problems or balance concerns! 🙂

As for compatibility I recommend using Kadrin’s Mod Manager instead of the CA launcher to see if there are any conflicts. I don’t use big overhauls so unfortunately I can’t tell you if this is compatible with X or Y.
