I'm playing my first game since the Royal Court DLC dropped, and I recently noticed that I can only appoint a limited number of courtiers to councilor positions aside spymaster? I took a glance at the 00_councillor_positions file to figure out what the deal is and see this listed for each of them:

Code:
valid_character = {
        exists = root.liege_or_court_owner
        can_be_chancellor_trigger = { COURT_OWNER = root.liege_or_court_owner }
    }

I don't recall what the text was for it previously, as I didn't do so previously, but would anyone be willing to point me in the right direction of what I would need to do to tweak this to allow any court member to be appointed, rather than horrendously low stat autogen mayors, some knights and temple lordlings? I recruited several lowborn with high stats specifically for the reason to hire them on but can't? I even have martial status to being "Equal."

I cant find on the wiki a scope that refers specifically to members of the court (and guests for some reason?), but just about every single other relation is listed under characters. Would generally appreciate any help with tweaking this to have the old system.

(Side question, do any of the cultural traits enable appointing all courtiers to councilor positions? The Equality one didn't seem to, but perhaps I misread?)

The can_be_chancellor_trigger only checks if the character is the correct gender, so in male dominated councils, women can only be appointed if landed.

Sorry for the slow reply. That makes sense then. The disconnect confused me that I was seeing landed women but not others. Thanks for the help. :D
