I'm ready to lose my mind on this one.
Code:
primary_title = {

ROOT = {
capital_scope = {

diplomacy = 6
stewardship = 9
intrigue = 8
learning = 6
}
trait = zealous
trait = cavalry_leader
trait = holy_warrior
trait = mystic
trait = skilled_tactician
}
new_character = {
spawn_unit = {
owner = ROOT
province = PREV
home = PREV
leader = THIS
troops = {
light_cavalry = { 600 600 }
horse_archers = { 400 400 }
}
attrition = 0
disband_on_peace = no
cannot_inherit = yes
maintenance_multiplier = 0.5
}
}
# tribal chief 2
create_character = {

}

# tribal chief 3

}
}
I can't get Validator to accept ANYTHING as a valid AnyTitle in the employer field for these create character commands. I've tried throwing the whole thing in the primary_title scope and using PREVPREV (and PREV, and PREVPREVPREV...). My most recent attempt has been using an event_target, which everything I've read says should work. Titles can be saved as event targets.
But Validator tells me everything is wrong and I should be ashamed for trying. I may have imagined the second part...
