Parental upbringing trait prevents characters from commanding armies

[Veldmaarschalk]

Like the title said, because the parental upbringing trait was formerly the leper trait, a character with the parental upbringing trait can't command army.

Most of the time that is not a big problem, but sometimes you ruler still has that trait when he is 19, which means you can't command armies yourself for almost 3 years.

EDIT
This may be mentioned before or already been known, then sorry !

There is an event which should take care of it, event 6999 in trait_events.txt. MTTH is already 1 day so I guess you're just out of luck there…

I have experienced already twice in two seperate games, it shouldn't have an influence on that ability at all, but it looks like it is hardcoded with the 'leper' trait

People with parental upbringing are kids. Kids not commanding armies is not a bug really.

As a fix you can select the character, and type 'charevent 6999' in the console (F12).

And yes leper is hardcoded to not allow the character to command armies, that's why it was assigned to children. In one of the 1.05 betas the leper trait was realm_duress instead... that's why they swapped it with stutter.

But like I said, sometimes your character still has that trait when is 19, so in game not a kid anymore.

It is not a major bug, but if it can be solved, by players themselves, by modding a file somewhere, that would be very welcome

 

[jordarkelf]

The only fix I can think of is to swap the leper trait with another one.

This would necessitate finding a trait which would henceforth mean persons with it cannot command armies (can't think of one right now which is suitable), swapping the two traits in ALL events, and editing all scenarios (and, if necessary, savegames) to do the same swap.

Yep, like Jordarkelf says, it'd require swapping around the traits again, which is not very fun. Or alternatively for Johan to undo the hardcoding. As it is, Parental Upbringing is the best alternative for a trait that doesn't allow commanding armies.
