Expand description
Writer of the characters of a faction (FACTION/CHARACTER_ARRAY).
The game draws some values from its RNG (art sets, birth seasons, colonels’ ages and names): this writer picks valid ones deterministically.
CHARACTER_DETAILS:CAMPAIGN_EFFECT_BUNDLES+2 is written 0. The game sets it to a random 1 to 3 from its RNG, when it’s
still 0, in a character’s post-load initialisation (Thrones’ empire.retail.dll, FUN_107d00d0, next to the
political party it may pick): most of its startpos characters have 0 (369 of 387 in Thrones, 578 of 599 in
Attila’s main campaign), so it’s left for the game to draw. It’s also the leader’s number in Thrones’ header (^+5).
