Module characters 

Per-character values of the CHARACTER record that come from the tables: birth year, loyalty and where the character starts on the map.

Verified on Attila’s main campaign: birth years and loyalty match for 332 of 334 linked generals, placements for 332 of 334 (two Sassanid generals linked to an occupied Ctesiphon are moved by the game to a free spot nearby).

Enums

Placement

Where a character starts on the campaign map.

Functions

birth_year

Returns a character’s birth year: the campaign’s start year minus its age.

loyalty

Returns the loyalty the startpos stores: the table value clamped to a range (see loyalty_range).

loyalty_range

Returns the range the startpos clamps the table loyalty to: from the loyalty_risk_low campaign variable to the maximum_loyalty one (Attila 3 to 10, Thrones 2 to 10). Verified on Thrones: 359 of its 363 living characters.

placement

Returns where a character starts on the campaign map. An army stands where its general starts.

political_party

Returns the political party of a character: its table party, except for the dead and the widowed, which the game changes. Dead women and widows have no party. Dead men without a party join their faction’s ruling party, and widowers in it move to the faction’s other party. Seen on Attila’s main campaign, with one widow and one widower.
