Well, it
is possible to edit him back, but it's a bit of work...
You'll need a text editor for the following:
1. Take a backup of the savefile, in case/for when you screw up
2. Find the nametag of the bishopric he is at. If it's a regular bishopric it's CXXX, where XXX is the province name. You can find the province id easiest by chacking the province_names.csv file in the config folder, or by using the showid console command.
3. Find your characters ID. A character definition looks like this:
Code:
character = {
id = { type = 10 id = 20070 }
dyn = 100043
tag = C043
name = "Maldoven"
date = "10300000"
gender = male
religion = catholic
culture = "scottish"
deathdate = "10890924"
score = { prestige = 176.285 piety = 242.500 }
attributes = {
martial = 7.000
diplomacy = 4.000
intrigue = 8.000
stewardship = 4.000
health = 8.000
fertility = 4.000
}
traits = {
merciful = yes
coward = yes
illness = yes
naive_wirepuller = yes
}
dna = "61808191456409"
}
The 'tag =' line is where he is located. The 'id = { }' line is the character ID. Not this one down, and change his 'tag =' back to your tag (the tag of your main title).
4. You'll need another character to replace him with. Find someone at your court that can be used instead (any crappy courtier will do). Note down his ID too, and set his 'tag =' to the tag of the bishopric.
5. Now you need to change the ruler of the bishopric. This is done in two steps. First you look for something like this:
Code:
title = {
tag = CXXX
tier = county
liege = FRAN
holder = { character = { type = 4712 id = 160023 } startdate = { year = 1125 month = may day = 29 } }
claim = { id = { type = 4712 id = 187334 } character = { type = 4712 id = 82345 } }
}
Change the type/id for 'holder =' of CXXX from your heir to the new replacement guy. Then you should find the country definition, something like this:
Code:
country = {
tag = CXXX
lastpeace = { year = 1137 month = september day = 0 }
lastwar = { year = 0 month = january day = 0 }
badboy = 0.000
form_of_goverment = ecclestical
capital = 141
tier = county
ruler = { character = { type = 4712 id = 167185 } startdate = { year = 1129 month = july day = 26 } }
laws = { semisalic_primogeniture_law = yes traditional_custom_law = yes ecclesical_balance = yes }
warfare_dev_focus = 5
production_dev_focus = 20
culture_dev_focus = 28
scutage = 0.000
crown_duty = 0.550
census_tax = 0.450
tolls = 0.500
upkeep = 1.000
church = 0.500
controlledprovinces = { 141 }
}
Change the type/id of the 'ruler = { }' to your replacement.
Save, and try it if it loads (fingers crossed)
