no characters available

[unmerged(23312)]

i've run out of characters due to early deaths. no govs. no generals, and the pool is empty? i've waited almost a year and a half, still no one's added to the pool? i have 1.1 patch. bumped the research up and the ping-pong effect through the filies? anyone know if this is a bug?

I have that happen a lot, especially when I have everyone trying to kill my govs and leaders. Usually, a half-dozen new characters will pop up after a month or two. Another writer said they regenerated almost immediately in another thread, but I have never had it happen that way. Really frustrating when you need that diplomat to get out of a war or get barbs to surrender.

Something that's been noted...thanks.

I have almost the same problem, I slowly have a dumb down effect in my characters, if you start the game the Quaestor's are Finesse level 11, and by 100 yrs later the best finess I can get is 7, maybe one person has a 9, but I use the benchmarks to figure how well I am doing and they all have these fantastic starting char finesse scores...

When do the smart people get come back?

Well, the best people are first to succumb to assassin spam in late game, so that may be one of the reasons there is bigger portion of dumb characters.

Besides that the characters I do have are all Corrupt Insane Lepers, im better off not assigning governers.

haha, sorry, that is sort of funny. i don't have as much a problem w/ poor characters, but i don't play as belligerent as others (i.e., rarely do i get assassins coming my way!).

I hate the Corrupt trait. It increases rebellion risk +1 and gives the character corruption which increases rebellion risk by whatever percentage it is. Double whammy. Seems like one or the other would be just fine.

Well I understand good characters dying off due to assassin spam and army attrition, however I am talking the first scenario, -100 years -- let it play out and you watch the population get dumber and dumber, (worse finesse, worse charisma).. I mean this is ROME the superpower they had massive amounts of children orphaned,and adopted, and you just don't get that feeling in this game, I get the feeling that Rome population is somehow suffering massive "finicky bride syndriome."


In the readme.txt, they talk about fixing the amount of population a large country can have, it sounded like they restricted the amount. I think they might have restricted a little too much.

If you save/reload, all empty governor's seats will be filled by random characters, and you're going to have maybe 5 or 6 extra in the pool as well.

here's an update to my problem. quit that last game and started a new one. all was fine until about the year 480, as rome. ran out of characters yet again. this time i speeded up the game until the year 504,checking my character pool every few months. the pool was empty each time i checked? love the game, but at this point i can't do anything without characters. can someone tell me if i can change a file so as more characters are generated? thanks for any help.

Doc you might want to eyeball the modifications forum and see if anyone's done anything with characters. If there's nothing there, feel free to write a request for a mod! Characters are finite due to constraints on system resources, but I imagine some people could handle more (and enjoy that!).
