Modding Conclave education, which files?

[Lord Haleth]

Hey all,

I'm looking into modding the Conclave education mechanism. Not because I hate it, but because I love it and am looking into making more than the usual two or three (Thrift, Duty or Struggle) childhood foci valid options. However, I can't find the proper files. Internet searches haven't helped. Do you know which are the relevant files? Is it even moddable or is it hardcoded?

Kind regards,
Haleth

Not hard coded at all.

The focuses are in objectives/00_zeus_childhood_focuses.txt and 00_zeus_education_focuses.txt. The events are in events/ze_childhood_events.txt and ze_education_events.txt. (The code name for Conclave was Zeus, and for once the code name got preserved in the game files.)

Cheers! I thought that Zeus was the Legacy of Rome stuff.

I came across the haughty maturing event. And I was wondering if I'am I reading this correctly. If I look at the modifiers the chances for haughty turning into groomed are potentially much higher, since there is no modifiers for proud, arbitrary or cruel guardians to enhance the chances for those traits to mature. The rowdy event does have these modifiers for brawny, honest or slow/imbecile guardians.

Am I reading the code correctly? And if so, is this WAD to nerf bad traits or did the dev's forget to add the modifiers for haughty?
