Bad Traits Reworked

Description
Total War: Attila has definitely better characters' traits mechanics than Total War: Rome II. Bad traits aren't usually so much damaging as they were in Rome II and their triggers are also (usually) better designed. But there are still some flaws. So similarly to TWR2 I made this mod for TWA which rebalances the triggers for some traits to occur, especially the bad ones.

Bad traits (combined with great politics in this game) are entertaining gameplay element - nobody is perfect so why should be your generals? :)

Therefore this mod tries to keep things balanced and doesn't remove them completely. Instead, it modifies the traits' probability values so the most annoying ones should be reduced, for example the "Arrogant" trait received just for winning (!) battles, bad traits for post-battle enslaving/slauhgtering, bad traits for long garrisoning, too frequent bad traits upon agent creation etc.

This mod doesn't change any trait attributes, just the probability of traits to occur.

Compatibility
Compatible with all DLCs. Save game compatible (you don't have to start a new game in order to use this mod, but take into account that existing traits won't be removed). Should be compatible with most other mods (but probably not with other mods modifying the traits' triggers).

All mutually compatible.

BLOOD REIGN 3 Jul @ 10:27pm 
Not only is it not working as intended because I downloaded this mod to reduce bad traits and this mod seems to even increase them, it is not realistic or representative of history at all. this mentally challenged traits feature literally adds nothing to the game. For almost 10 years every single time I download Attila I wind up deleting it because it’s totally immersion breaking and completely unfun that literally every single character I have has a comical number of bad traits. It’s literally my dream to just get one faction member who doesn’t have any traits. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST TURN THEM OFF THEY ADD NOTHING TO THE GAME. JFC WHATS THE POINT OF ALL MY GENERALS BEING MENTALLY CHALLENGED? For once in my life the RNG gods gave me a character with a good name (Flavius Theodosius) and I’ve been rerolling my save every day for 2 weeks trying to get him to spawn with no negative traits, and IT HASNT WORKED I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO ADVANCE MY CAMPAIGN FOR TWO WEEKS FFS

@BLOOD REIGN, it is working as intended. Half of your guys are misshapen cuckhold cowards no matter what x'D Pretty realistic as the ruler of early medieval kingdom

I can confirm this still works as intended. I just did a file compare with the script from the CA packfile and the only changes are the chance values for negative vs positive traits. Also, it fixes a lot of my frustration with the base game.

old mods (due to workshop file format used .bin files ) get unpacked (to a .pack file) and copied to the games data folder when u sub and then when run the game launcher (the launcher unpacks and copies them)

So when you unsub they don't get deleted properly and have to be manually deleted from the games data folder.

Mod launcher doesn't look at when game was last patched its purely date based

this is Patch history ie last update was 25/02/16

Been a few patches now in the past year. Mod manager has this mod flagged as outdated, does it need to be updated or nah?

Got it to work. I guess I have to do some things in a very specific order. Not sure exactly what it was since I tried all of these previously, but here is what I did: first I unsubscribed in launcher and in steam. Second, I closed, opened, and closed again the mod manager. Third I restarted steam and resubscribed. At that point the mod finally downloaded for real and showed up on the content folder.
