Ran out of Legates!

[unmerged(40705)]

I'm using the kick ass mod collection and am really enjoying the Cursus Honorum portion of it. However in my zeal to get all magistracies filled I ran out of characters eligible to command legions, thus leaving 4 out of my 6 legions with no Legate. It is the Gaius Marius scenario so luckily I was able to fill the legions that are assigned to Africa, but should war break out elsewhere I have no commanders! Is it possible to mod some of the numerous characters I have to left to give them proconsular imperium so I can appoint them to head legions?

Yup. You open your save file with notepad (preferably) and find the character you've chosen with Ctrl+F. Then put this code under history={.

            #YEAR#.1.1={
                give_title="title_ex_ruler"
            }

Special command. YES!

Descartes,

Thanks again man. I was afraid I'd have to start over. Instead the Senate will be passing out "Special Commands" ala Pompeius Magnus .

 

[Descartes]

No problem and good luck with your game

Legates

Descartes,

I selected my proconsul and modded the line in like you directed. Still can't assign him to a legion. Here is my history text with suggested addition:

history={
617.1.1={
name="Quintus Lutatius Catulus"
}
618.1.1={
add_spouse={
id=100641
type=44
}
646.1.1={
give_title="title_ex_ruler"
}
647.1.1={
give_title="title_patrician"
}
}

Am I missing something here? Please note that I could not format the code in this post but it looks like it should in the file with the correct indents. I have tried exiting and restarting the game and this has no effect. Suggestions? I'd rather not start over.

duplicate please delete

Uhm maybe you shouldn't have the name there? Not sure if that's what we're looking for, but I'm quite sure it's not supposed to be there.

Legates

Descartes,

The name was already there. The only thing I changed was to add the bit you suggested with the correct syntax and formatting. I looked at other former consuls and their history section looked the same. I even added is_general and it shows that they were made a legate but you still can't assign them a legion. I looked at C. Marius' info and may have figured out how to give a character a legion (as he has one in Africa province), but had to go to work and couldn't finish playing with it.
