I wonder how hard it would be to create a royal family trait? Or maybe just a 'royal' trait?
What I envision is a new trait that fires to determine if a character's parent is a king or queen, and if so, gives the character this trait. A Royal Family trait could give extra prestige to the character as well to emulate the status of the character as a member of the Royal Family. Once the character has a Royal Family trait, the ai would not fire it again for the member, nor could the trait be lost.
I could see the event firing for newborns, then once every three or five years. Also, prehaps the matrix could be arranged to check when new kingship titles are inherited? If the later matrix is used, then it may be eaiser. It should not check for siblings of a king, because someone could become king and his children royals, but this does not mean that the new king's siblings and other relitives would then become royal themselves.
I do not know the proper prestige value that would be appropriate however. Maybe something equal to that of one or two ducal titles? I dont know.
When someone hovers their mouse over the royal family/royal icon, which could have a crown in the shield, then the tag could read something like:
This courtier is a member of a royal family. One or both parents may be a reigning king or queen, and this courtier exerts greater influence through-out the realm due to his proximity to the throne
Or it could read:
This courtier is a Royal. One or both parents may be a reigning king or queen. This courtier exerts greater influence through-out the realm due to his proximity to the throne.
Effects:
1. A general increase in annual prestige.
2. If the character is a title holder, then prehaps their sliders for its realms could also be effected to be something like:
X increase in nobles for males who aquire the royal family trait
X increase in peasents for females who aquire the royal family trait
Suggestions? I myself am not a coder, so we may need someone who is more skilled to create this trait.
