Hello SSHIP community, I am Charles the Man and this is my minimod thread I am working on roleplay traits and triggers for generals and agents, with the goal of increasing the role of settlements and ancillaries in determining the development of characters. The aim is to create a dynamic and coherent system that produces realistic outcomes and adds flavour while remaining historically plausible.

My first addition is roleplay by marriage: simply adding faction-based WifeIs(faction) bonuses to replace the rather bland +1 to local popularity all your queens and princesses currently provide. Below is a WIP list of bonuses for each possible faction. I will be changing the wifely descriptions to match these traits, but would like some input before I get writing. Let me know what you think!


WIP WifeIs(faction) Traits
Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
Notes: bonuses are chosen from the appropriate faction traits. Some bonuses replace faction bonuses as I did not think the faction bonus was appropriate in another culture (eg, local popularity from Egyptian became +1 Farming). I am aware Piety bonuses may be troublesome in the case of marrying outside your religion, but have yet to think of a solution.

Question: are militaristic traits from militaristic factions' women appropriate? I picture them more as an effect of inspiration rather than necessarily an effect of tactical advisement.
