Tsaesci Gov

[Cannar]

Is the Tsaesci government tied to the Tsaesci culture or Five Courts religion the same way code of Malacath is tied to Malacath religion? Thinking of trying a game as a Tsaesci mage, conquer a foot hold in Argonia, transform into an Argonian, but keep the female dominated gov?

and is Meridia supposed to be able to die?

and is Meridia supposed to be able to die?

Dunno about the rest of the post but I've been wondering this for a while too.

I'd like to play that Ayleid guy with her in my court for lore purposes but she always dies.

She keeps getting sacrificed to the gods, but she is not a captive, and it nvr says who sacrificed her.

Matriarchy government results from a combination of Five Courts religion and Tsaesci culture.

Meridia being sacrificed is something I've heard of before in 0.1.6 but I haven't been able to reproduce the problem in a long time. Is this happening on a recent SVN version?

Updated daily ya, the attached save is like a week before she is offered up, sorry, its ironman

I can see the problem right off the bat. She has the Undead trait, but there's no reason that she should get that trait in the first place.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that the save got corrupted somehow because your Daedric Princes are using the Undead trait and there's Quey have the Dremora trait. The racial traits in general appear to be jumbled around.

This comes with some personal bias because I've never liked using Ironman but I highly recommend not using it with EK. Not just because of potential errors like this happening but because getting to the bottom of these issues is extremely difficult.

I feel like a weak cheater when I play out of Ironman, but I suppose I can stomach it for testing purposes. I'll start a new aylied revival and let you know if it happens again.

If all the traits are wrong then it also seems likely that a trait has been added to the svn after you started the game. Then suddenly everyone who has for example traitnumber 70 "altmer" in the save, will now have trait number 70 "bosmer", while 71 is now altmer.

This would make sense as she did not die till right after the first time updating SVN since starting that save. Was a new trait added in the last 5 days?

Just by checking out the SVN history, I can confirm that yes, there've been quite some traits that were either reworked or added, which is almost 100% certain to mess with saves.
Not to mention an inordinate amount of other changes of which I can't tell for sure whether they break saves.
Stuff like that made me detach from most of my saves during testing of Geheimnisnacht.
*sniff* Will never forget that 200-year-one with the Red Duke, though...

While the Tsaeci Matriarchy government is tied to Tsaeci culture and the five courts religion, it should be noted that the government is not based on lore but rather a personal choice of the EK dev team.

 

[Cannar]

Yes, of course, everything east of the isles is 90% dev team, though they did a good job of filling in the blanks.
