I'm going to start making traits and retinue soon, so should I keep some existing ones? I should probably keep things like "good commander" but should I change the name to make it seem more orginal, like "good general"?

Rename the ones where the name doesn't fit this mod. And make new ones where you don't have a good trait for at the moment.

Good idea.
ANYONE WHO IS READING THIS: For now, I am not going to put any of the default traits in the list of traits for Inca - Total War. If you think I should put one of the default traits into it, tell me which one and I'll add it (but try to think of a unique name for it). If you think I should NOT put in a trait that someone else suggested, you can tell me that too.

I agree. You can add ones you like later. Just name them appropriately, and it will look like new traits for the beta

At this moment I am about to start adding some traits that Rex suggested in the traits thread. I think it was a really good idea of him to make up traits that run in their blood, like "desendant of the blahblahblah dynasty". Only problem is, there are a couple that I'm not sure whether they are traits or retinue, so I'll put off making those for now...

Allright, I finished the first 5 traits. They are all unique to the Chimu (I think that's what Rex wanted, correct me if not). They are the first 5 traits listed in the Traits and Ancillaries thread. I'm not going to test them right now, since I'd have to move around files and remove all starting traits from descr_strat to do it, but I'll test them eventually.

Filibusteria, you're researching the Mapuche, right? Do you know of any traits or retinue I should make for them?

Filibusteria, you're researching the Mapuche, right? Do you know of any traits or retinue I should make for them? :-[hmmmm... hardly. There can be the "Great warrior", oh, and "posess more than one wife"(that was a symbol of authority and wealth, because wifes were bought to their fathers [ not with money, of course, but with goods], and it can give more influence). There is a test mapuche used for choosing the toki. the greatest warriors grabbed a large piece of tree (tronco in spanish, dont know the enlish word) and carried it for as long as they could. You could make a retinue with that. notice than there can be no blahblahblah dynasty descendant, because leadership was defined by bravery and strength, not by bloodlines. Invent some retinues according to this facts i gave you, because i cant imagine anything. Or ask me about specific info you want to know so i can tell you and you invent the retinues and traits...

toqui or toki is the military general of the mapuche. it was selected by the old men in that test i mentioned. It only existed during times of war, during peace the chief was the lonko, "head", who hadnt absolute power as the toki had. Something like the dictators of rome.. i think...

So should I make the Mapuche faction leader called Lonko or Toqui/Toki? If Toqui/Toki, which spelling should I use?

I don't know much about traits, but maybe the default could be lonko, and under certain curcumstances, change to toki.

Not sure if that's possible, but since in Total War you are usually at war anyway, I'm thinking it should be Toqui.

Post by Filibusteria on Dec 4, 2006 2:15:23 GMT
I think it sould be toqui, too. Spell it "Toqui", because Toki is a polinesican word too and some people could get confused...
