Help with adding a dynasty

[Lord Blekinge]

I was looking around the database and came across the dynasty document, I thought it should be rather easy to add a dynasty to the game, so I did using the copy and paste method for an existing Norman family and then changing their name, the problem is that game crashes everytime I go to run a scenario, so obviously I something wrong.

dynasty = {
id = { type = 12 id = 359 }
name = "de Bohun"
province = { }

which I changed to

}dynasty = {
id = { type = 12 id = 359 }
name = "de la Pole"
province = {23 }

now I put them in Salisbury, so if someone can help me with what I did wrong I would appreciate it. It comes up with date mismatch error if that helps.

}dynasty = {
id = { type = 12 id = 359 }
name = "de la Pole"
province = {23 }

Try this instead:

dynasty = {
	id = { type = 12 id = 359 }
	name = "de la Pole"
	province = { 23 }
        }

Use as kadvael said .. the one you did is missing the last end bracket (}). You have 3 start brackets({) and only 2 end brackets (}).

But just so you know, you don't need to replace an existing dynasty. You can add as many as you want. Just make sure that the id is unique.

how do I make sure the dynasty id is unique? I assume that 12 is Norman culture and that 359 is that dynasty culture?

There is no dynasty culture, 12 is the type for all the dynasties, to make sure your dynasty is unique, do a CTRL+F for "id = 359", it should only be found once.

Type is always 12 ... ID is the dynasty identifier. It is basically just a number. Each dynasty has a different ID.

Just search the file first for an id number, and if it is not found you can use it

thanks for the help, so basically I would search for id number xx?, that should give me a hint? If I want the character to spawn in Essex, all i would have to do is change the province id?

As TempestDK suggested, you can choose an id, search in the file, if there is no result you can use it. Usually, I use ids like 12XXX01, 12XXX02... with XXX the province where the dynasty will appear, I have not yet found dynasties like that. If you want the character to spawn in Essex just use 72 instead of 23.
