Intrigue events show wrong character, lack description

Intrigue events appear to pretty universally display the wrong character picture; instead of showing the person actually affected, instead it seems to pick a random courtier to display. Also, the events tend to have no information at all about their effects.

can others confirm this?

I have noticed this when I got the "Vicious slander triggered for X" event. The clickable portrait was of someone else than the name displayed in the event effects.

Is it a random portrait, or does it have a pattern or some kind? As if does it show the liege/father/heir/whatever of the character in question?

EDIT might it show the spymaster of either court?

What I've observed is a random member of my court in the portrait, and text reading "slander event triggered for Wossname", where Wossname is not part of my court, but someone with that name rules a nearby county.

Speaking of weird intrigue event text, what the heck is a complot? "Fake Complot Succeeds, Vassal Loyalty Raised."

Random pictures, little explanation. You get the first name of the afflicted so you might be able to hunt him down, tediously.

At first that's what I thought, that it had some relation...either a liege, or spymaster. Nope. It's just some guy. Which just makes the poorly explained intrigue events event more difficult to interpret. They -do- work...it's just very difficult to see how they're working, because they display very little relevant information; the wrong character being displayed just makes it more difficult to understand what's going on.

Komplot is a Swedish word for conspiracy/scheme, it's certainly not an word in the English language though... :rofl:

I am pretty sure it's not a random portrait, but just the portrait of the character it is happening to.

There is very few trigger conditions on this events set: 1) intrigue >= 7, whatever the position of the character in the court (hence, a lot of eligible character); 2) it will give "coward" status to "worst_neighbour"

So, I would say WAD but very badly designed.

I will mark it as a bug, to remember to tweak it...

Well, in my experience the portrait is quite random. Example: I just had the slander event against my liege the Byzantine Emperor, but the portrait was of a female courtier in my court, who wasn't my spymaster and wasn't in any way related to the Byzantine Emperor or my spymaster.

It hasn't to be: What was her intrigue score ?

If her intrigue attribute was 7 or over, she has triggered the event.

I agree with you, this event should be restricted to spymaster.

Yes. On several occasions I wondered what on earth the point of the events were. It seems that it does something to someone. I've just no clue what or whom.
