Modus Vivendi LITE: More Ruler Personalities

Description
This mod adds 67 more Ruler Personality Traits to the game, as well as a few events related to the personalities.


NOTE: This is a Lite version of the original "Modus Vivendi: More Ruler Personalities" mod. The original mod made it so the maximum number of ruler personalities is 5. Unfortunately, this causes a crash when viewing the ledger menus "Current Rulers" and "Previous Rulers."

So while I look into the bug, I have made this Lite version with only 3 max personalities for any who wish to avoid this bug.


The original mod can be found here:

________________________________________________________________________________

These personalities are more complex than base personalities.

Many of them have both positive and negative aspects. This results in good, bad and neutral personality types; good personalities lean towards the positive, bad personalities lean towards the negative, while neutral is a balance of good and bad modifiers. Very good personalities such as Prodigy are also much less likely to appear.

These personalities will also affect AI behavior.

For example, a ruler with the Ambitious personality will declare war against enemies with equal military strength more often and wants neighboring land; however, an Ambitious ruler is less likely to be helped by other AI, as they fear that the Ambitious ruler will turn into a potential future threat and destroy the balance of power.

On the other hand, a Two-Faced ruler will be much more likely to sent gifts of goodwill to foreign nations, but will also have no issue with betraying them should an opportunity present itself.



***NOTE: The DLC 'Rights of Man' MUST be used alongside this mod. No other DLC or mod is required.

***The mod should be compatible with all other mods as long as Rights of Man is enabled. It is confirmed that it works with the mods Extended Timeline and Better Nation Designer and unlimited points (1.28)

***The personalities can also be used in Custom Nations.

@Novvelian Good idea, while I'm not sure if there is a way to add a new icon for it since the positive and negative both use the same icon, but I'll look into it

The indecisive ruler trait uses the default movement speed icon, but this implies that the ruler trait increases movement speed when it doesn't, so you should add a new icon for decreased movement speed if there isn't one already that has a minus symbol or something like that.

@Dr0g The mod should still work with 1.34. I've updated the main mod, but I can also update this one officially when I have the chance
Dr0g Nov 8, 2022 @ 8:25am 
Will this be updated for 1.34?
jglennv1 May 6, 2021 @ 8:52pm 
Update?
Diamondhero253 Nov 14, 2020 @ 7:28pm

Diamondhero253 Nov 14, 2020 @ 7:27pm 
ok so i keep starting from the 2 ad start date and the game keeps crashing after about a year or two. im worried it might be this mod, since ive unapplied everything but this and ET...

Alright! I'm eager to try this out and see how it feels.
Worlds Smuggest Detective  [author] Dec 12, 2019 @ 2:05pm 
@Dragon of Desire Yep, this mod adds more ruler Traits that both the player and ai have.

It's the Lite version of the full version, which also increases the max number of traits per ruler from 3 to 5. However, the full version causes a crash when you open the Rulers ledger, so this one is crash-free but has only the vanilla max number of traits per ruler.
