@finallyciv Thank you for your work, very interresting ! I will take a look at implementing it into a dedicated mod (Soft Way of Living + AI)
Akiway  [author] 17 Nov, 2024 @ 5:36am 
@Mr Monti Issue fixed. The problem came from the fact that the game give the first option available in the code as a default effect, I have no clue why it behave like that. The workaround I found is to set the Reset option in first position.
Make sure to update the mod and try to change you current trait to any other and tell me if it removed the remaining Warlike trait ?

I also added a flat stress gain/loss when changing trait, for balance purpose.

@finalllyciv /c/theydidthemath impressive

I don't want to. This would requires me to calculate the probability that the AI ​​would choose one or the other trait based on its characteristics and recent choices.
But I have to admit that being able to see the trait the opponent is focusing on is interesting. You would want to fight somebody that isn't warlike but rather collector or worshiper.

Akiway: Because it's not possible to implement, or because you don't want to (maybe for balance reasons)? I'm curious!
Akiway  [author] 15 Nov, 2024 @ 12:16pm 
@finallyciv No, the decision isn't available to the AI.
finallyciv 15 Nov, 2024 @ 7:36am 
Does the AI use the mechanic?

@akiway Still have the problem even going through your suggested work around. I also have Chat GPT Flavor Pack, Better Crusader Kings, and Councillor's experience trait, which are the only mods i have that effect traits in some way.

Also for more clarification, it seems to be giving me the Kingdom/Empire Warlike even though I'm only a County, the trait i actually select is still the County/Duchy level.

@Mr Monti I checked the code and didn't find anything related to your bug.
Can you try to use the reset button, then uninstall the mod and see if the trait remains (it should not), then reinstall and check if you still get the same behavior?

@Sellecs Small health boost added for Enjoyer.
