So I had started a thread (
Link) talking about having more control over your character and I was told to start writing stuff up and posting in this thread for review. I decided to focus on the events causing you to arbitrarily lose traits since that irked me the most, and made some decision event dialogues and choices that I think would be balanced to replace whatever event fires when you simply lose a trait. Let me know what you think about the following:
Challenge to Just Trait:
-Scenario (gold is <100):
“A group of peasants have brought a wealthy and influential merchant to your court, seeking justice against him for ‘deflowering’ their daughters. They claim he was caught red-handed on multiple occasions but has avoided justice through bribery, and they beseech you as their just ruler to punish him accordingly. The merchant asks you for a private audience and says, ‘My lord, many merchants in your lands depend on my business contracts and I would be more than willing to make a hefty donation to your treasury if you were to see your way to ruling in my favor.’”
- Option #1: “I suppose if you swear not to do it again…”
- Results: Lose Just trait, get ‘peasants are angered’ (+1%global revolt risk) for 2 years, gain 250 gold (can be scaled up based on income)
- Option #2: “You think I will betray my principles for money?!”
- Results: Slightly reduce prosperity of capital county, -10% taxes in demesne provinces for 2 years
