Can titles be defined in the history files?

[Lambert Simnel]

Is it possible to edit the history files to give titles other than ruler to characters?

 

[Hardradi]

Yes, here is an example of one I have done.

450.1.1 = { birth = 450.1.1 }
450.1.1 = { give_title = title_deinomenid_family }
# 470.1.1 = { } # General
479.1.1 = {
employer_country = SYR
name = "Hieron II"
wealth_change = 1000
popularity_change = 65
} # King of Syracuse
# 479-539 - King
490.1.1 = { military = 7 } # Hieron joins Hannibal
539.1.1 = { death = 539.1.1 }

Thanks.
Do you know whether remove_title also works?

 

[Hardradi]

Thats ok, plenty of people have helped me here so I like to return the favour.

Yes, it does as remove_title = title_XXXXXXXXXXX and also I think it may work with just remove_title = XXXXXXXXXX.

Usually, title_xxx is actually the name of the title, so I'd go for the former.

What Descartes said. The title_ prefix itself isn't necessary when making a title, but whenever another file (eg an event or history files etc) refers to it it should use the whole name for the title, including the prefix (if the title uses it).
