At the moment I am working on this and I am wondering what sort of interest there is for it.

BTW, don't get your hopes up - I tend to fail miserably at programming.
 
If you can, make it randomize DNA values. It would be great if it could randomize only part of DNA too. Also ability to randomize attributes in an user defined range would be great.
 
Would be nice to have a simpler way of deleting particular wars. Bigger wars can be a real pain to delete with a text editor as an entry can take up several screenfuls.
 
Randomized dna?

OK... I'm too new to CK to know why this is good. What does the DNA do for the characters? Random generation of children's stats? Seems pretty good to me already, so not sure why you would want to randomize this more.

Eh? Again, I'm confused. We poor newbies! Didn't see anything about these in the FAQ.

Well, when you mod a full scenario to CK, you likely have to make several hundred characters and then being able to get random DNAs (which are 14 numbers long, mind you) would be very important for Character Editing tool. Also, when you create those several hundred characters, having a tool to randomize their six attributes is very good too.

Well, wars are often several pages long thingies in save files, so he'd like to have a tool to easily remove them.

These are only issues with editing save files and modding, so regular player needs no such things. ;)

No, dna string determines the character's portrait composition.

Get ahold of the DNAMaker program posted on this forum, and play with it. ;)
 
Well, thanks to Solmyr I already have good randomizer in Excel, but if you could make a randomizer that randomizes only four to six random numbers from a given DNA, it would be quite handy for making people that should be relatives and look like it.
