Given By Trigger Nicknames

[Cetan]

Wondering where I can find out the required events/actions needed for the "Triggered Only" nicknames in the txt file?

Some are easy, like 'the Great', 'the Holy', and 'the Conquerer'. Others are a complete mystery.

They trigger randomly, so long as you have met the required conditions.

Is there a list of required conditions?

You want to look in the 00_nicknames.txt file which lists them all along with the requirements and chance of gaining it. If you run the game through steam then this will be in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\crusader kings ii\common\nicknames

Once again, I am not looking for these. I know what the given by traits, piety, and rules conditions are.

What I am looking for, are what trigger the TRIGGERED ONLY nicknames in that file.

Specifically:

# TRIGGERED ONLY

nick_the_lawgiver = {}
nick_the_usurper = {}
nick_the_hammer = {}

I believe these are created to give names to historical characters. They do not fire in the game.

You can actually get The Conqueror if you Request Invasion from the Pope and successfully get it. The Great can be given from the ambition Become Exalted Among Men, or by having a load of Prestige and no other real qualities. The Holy, IIRC, can be given by the Pious version of that ambition, the name escapes me at this time, but I never seem to be able to get either or those ambitions late game. :/

Searching these names briefly in the CK2 folder has revealed the following

nick_the_lawgiver = {} never appears ingame
nick_the_usurper = {} given to a historical Welsh character and a Danish character
nick_the_hammer = {} historical Frankish character
nick_the_conqueror = {} several historical characters + received via the conquer casus belli
nick_the_victorious = {} a swedish character
nick_the_crusader = {} danish, occitan character
nick_the_holy = {} become paragon of virtue objective, also castillan and danish character
nick_the_avenger = {} castillan character
nick_the_brave = {} castillan, polish characters
nick_the_fearless = {} occitan character
nick_the_martyr = {} saxon character
nick_the_unlucky = {} not used
nick_the_lucky = {} not used
nick_the_restorer = {} basque, polish characters
nick_the_effeminate = {} given via some events
nick_the_clueless = {} events
nick_the_ill_tempered = {} not used
nick_the_affable = {} frankish character
nick_the_heathen = {} swedish character
nick_the_liberator = {} swedish character
nick_haardraade = {} norwegian character

Hope this answers your question.

[bilbo2810]

it's Paragon of Virtue, and you have those (PoV and Exalted..) only available when your current Prestige/Piety is far enough from what is required... which often is not the case for heirs after a certain time

I also have gotten the merry and the good. I know there is the Dragon and Ironsides.

Hope this answers your question.

You rock.
