Dev Diary #116 - Agrarian Research Techniques

... Anyone watching? No? Good.

Ok, just you and me. Great, because I've only got a few wee lil morsels today and I don't want to share them with too many people. So let's all just keep this quiet and, if anyone asks, the dev diary was about how we research thirteenth century agrarian techniques in rural France. Got it? Good.

I want you to tell me what this historical character...

... this historical character...
116_Char2.PNG

... and this historical character all have in common.

Figured it out? Yes? No? Waiting for someone else to scan through every character in the game before you hazard a guess? Ok, well, to be a bit fairer, it's got something to do with this:

The list includes all the interactions in a particular category. You would not see all of them at the same time like this.
:D This has nothing to do with Wards & Wardens.

Finally, none of them are directly connected to this chap:

Alright, that's all I've got for you today, but I expect to be going over that list again soon. And in detail. If anyone asks, remember: rural France, agriculture, thirteenth century, yada yada.

Till next time!

Looking at the icons and the type of interactions they're currently used for in-game, it could be peace treaty interactions ending a war?

Releasing prisoners, gaining/losing CBs and claims etc.

I think the third one might be the son of Rurik of Novgorod in the 867 start date. He looks familiar but can't open the game at the moment. I think he's got the quick trait.
That + Rurik's "son" makes me think this is indeed about regency.
;) It's not Rurik's son.

Can't be the traits right? They are randomly generated..

Is it related to different types of architectures?
 
;) It's not Rurik's son.
Yeah yeah, I already heard he was more precisely his regent and the game made him his son to make him heir (well, I assume it's for this reason). I'm not exactly well versed in ancient eastern european history so I don't know how true it is, but that is why the thought of regency just came up. So I guess this is a cheeky confirmation ? ;)
