The process of adding a family to the game?

[Bismarck]

Could some kind soul explain explain the methods for adding a dynastic family to the game?

I think I know how to do it, but I want to be sure before I start mucking around with things. And this will also be a nice sticky for newer players who want to add their own family lines.

Thanks

I've done it, and it isn't that hard.

I'm at work so I can't remember the file name exactly, but I believe there's a dynasties.txt file. It describes all of the dynasties in the game. Go down to the end, copy as an example one of the dynasties, change the info you want to change. Be SURE to give your dynasty a new, unique ID number (do a control-F within the file to double check the number isn't used elsewhere).

Then, within a scenario file or a save game, create or edit a character to have that dynasty ID number.

Yup. It's /config/dynasties.txt
