Spawning Court members start province

[Lord Blekinge]

I want to start a new game with a dynasty which I admire, the problem is that they don"t start the 1066 game as rulers of a province. So what I am asking my fello CKers, which province or provinces can they spawn from?. I am interested in any of the following families, de Bar, de Bohun, de Burgh or de Clare. I have had these families spawn in many previous games, the problem was they never spawned in any of my provinces. So if someone could point me in the right direction it would be really appreciated.

Check Crusader Kings\db\dynasties.txt

there is f.ex. an entry:

dynasty = {
	id = { type = 12 id = [COLOR="Red"]4034[/COLOR] }
	name = "[COLOR="Red"]de Burgh[/COLOR]"
	province = { [COLOR="Red"]73[/COLOR] }
}

4034 is the number of the dynasty.
de Burgh is the last name of all characters from this family in the game.
73 is the ID of the province where they can spawn.

Now go into Crusader Kings\db\province.csv (with text editor)
There, scroll down to this entry:

[COLOR="Red"]73[/COLOR];PROV73;[COLOR="Red"]Kent[/COLOR];Britain;South_England;903;Plains;0;saxon;5;SUSS;ENGL;NONE;NONE;NONE;2766;2028;2716;2038;2794;2068;2736;2069;-100;-100;0;-100;-100;0;-100;-100;0;-100;-100;0;2728;2031;-1;-1;-1;-1;-1;-1;-1;-1;-1;-1;-1;-1;-1;-1;-1;-1

Province 73 is Kent, in southern England.

If you don't want to wait for getting a character like this, you can switch any character in the game to a dynasty you want... for example, say, you have a really nice brilliant strategist character at your court but he doesn't even have a last name. Sir John of St. Nothing, the randomly generated brilliant strategist without a last name, whom your father ran into while campaigning in Kent and who served you as marshal for some years. A pity! Maybe Sir John wants to be a de Burgh and start a dynasty?

Write down the first name (Jean) and the birth year of your character (f.ex. 1133) in the game. Then, open your save game with a capable editor (notepad is kinda slow) and search for his first name. There are probably quite a few Jeans in the game file, so keep searching until you find a character that matches what you are looking for, mabye like this:

character = { 
    id = { type = 4712 id = 420769 } 
    [COLOR="Red"]dyn = 1[/COLOR] 
    tag = ENGL 
    name = "[COLOR="Red"]Jean[/COLOR]" 
    status = yes 
    date = "[COLOR="Red"]1133[/COLOR]0604" 
    gender = male 
    religion = catholic 
    culture = "frankish" 
    score = { prestige = 15.000 } 
    attributes = "9.7.7.5.5.5.425690688" 
    traits = { 
        generous = yes 
        merciful = yes 
        trusting = yes 
[COLOR="Red"]        brilliant_strategist = yes [/COLOR]
        } 
    dna = "53246235134101" 
    }

This is your guy! Name, birth date and traits match. id = 1 means he is of the no name dynasty that can spawn almost everywhere. All you need to do is assign this guy the de Burgh dynasty, and then you can save, load up the game again, give the guy a title and then you can play as him. You do this by changing the dyn = 1 part to dyn = 4034 in his entry. Done! Next time you load the game, he will show up as Jean de Burgh.
