DNA - how does it work - what is it good for?

[albso437]

I have noticed that some, but only some, characters have DNA.

For example;

126002 = {
name="Tengil"
dna="dfpknhcpfcp"
properties="fckjhj"
dynasty=1055
religion="norse_pagan"
culture="swedish"
martial=6
diplomacy=5
intrigue=7
stewardship=5
learning=5
add_trait="brilliant_strategist"
add_trait="cruel"
add_trait="temperate"
add_trait="envious"
add_trait="deceitful"
add_trait="ambitious"
1030.1.1 = {
birth="1030.1.1"
}
1050.1.1={
give_nickname = nick_the_liberator
}
1110.1.1 = {
death="1110.1.1"
}
}

So;

WHat is it good for and how does it work???

WHat is it good for

Absolutely nothing.

Good god, y'all.


...actually, it (together with properties and graphics set) controls portrait appearance. It's passed down to children so that kids look like their parents.

So it's only about look?

Nope. Just looks.
