Way too many Lunatics

[Griff Lancer]

Go ahead, go into your game, character finder, now type lunatic.
I'll wait.

I'm wondering about lunatics on the council. Does liking the ruler translate to a yes vote, since they don't know what their interests are. Unless barred from it.

Oh sorry, I thought this thread title was about the forum as a whole.

It's seems that a lot of lunatics are also syphilitics...which makes sense, really.

On a related note - I really wish they'd expand lunacy a bit. It's currently too catch-all, like ill and maimed used to be. I mean, I want to know if a character is completely bonkers or merely potty.

Revert back a patch, disable RD, run same game for the same time, search lunatic, compare.

I'll wait.

 

[Sir Garnet]

Indeed, obsessive, compulsive, detached from reality, paranoid (more than medieval standard) . . . .

 

[Furleppe]

BTW is there any way to get rid of a lunatic trait? any lucky event or something?

 

[aono]

I'm sorry, how many lunatics exactly should be ok?

### Remove Lunatic ###
character_event = {
    id = 6021
    desc = EVTDESC6021
    picture = GFX_evt_recovery
    border = GFX_event_normal_frame_religion
  
    min_age = 16
    only_capable = yes
  
    trigger = {
        health = 4
        trait = lunatic
        NOT = {
            OR = {
                trait = syphilitic
                trait = has_aztec_disease
            }
        }
    }
  
    mean_time_to_happen = {
        months = 12000
        modifier = {
            factor = 0.5
            health = 6
        }
    }
  
    option = {
        name = EVTOPTA6021
        remove_trait = lunatic
    }
}

Don't count on it. If you're immortal, it'll probably happen sometime in the next five hundred years.

I wonder what specific identifiable "illnesses" the lunatic trait covers? There's the obvious ones, like schizophrenia (paranoid schizophrenia, etc), but there must be hundreds if one could compile a list.

My ratio of crazy rulers:

I think it was @Aries666 who came up with this idea, you type in lunatic, scroll down, then backspace lunatic and the circle thingy reverts to how many lunatics there were proportionally to everyone so yeah I'd say too much crazy.

As far as I can tell, it covers neurosyphilis, schizophrenia, pacifism, being eccentric, PTSD, psyhosis and maybe autism. And then there is of course "possessed" which by my estimates covers schizophrenia, hyperreligiosity, sociopathy, epilepsy, lunacy, being a douche and literal possession. And then there is also depression which covers depression and just being sad.

If what I said is true, then the ratio of lunatics/possessed and sane people is quite alright as it is. Perhaps there should even be more of them.

embrace the lunacy
