 :lmfao:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

By the way would it have killed them to link up the attractive and ugly traits with portraits there were...I don't know...attractive and ugly?

I've seen an absolute dog with the attractive trait and one of the most good looking women in the game with the ugly trait.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

How do you propose they did it? The portraits are made from dozens of elements which are supposed to be inheritable. How do you propose teaching the system to make sure on top of that these pictures are pretty or ugly? Are you that dumb?

Maybe they're attractive/ugly from the neck down?

:huh: By coding it?

Or do you realise that & want a full explanation on how someone would code that?

Ok, you are an idiot too, gay fox.

I am not talking about how to code it, but that if you make a face from a number of random features, it is not possible to say which one will be "ugly" and which one will be "pretty" without going through millions of possible combinations, one by one, because you cannot code the system to recognize what's ugly and what's pretty. Especially as probably your "ugly" or "pretty" is going to be different from mine on top of that.

Isn't there a little irony in you using gay as an insult?

It's a design approach. It doesn't have to be random, the images that form the protrait can be categorize in multiple ways. Sure, it's highly subjective what ugly/pretty is but it can easily be done.

Not true, it's a simple machine learning problem. Of course it's arguable whether it's worth it.

This is a bigger issue.

Yeah and it is definitely not.

You could always use a ugly overlay (kind of like the scars for maimed characters). Attractive would be harder. maybe a cocky smile with a sparkle, like they do in cartoons :lol:

Symmetrical smooth features, unblemished skin, huge tracks of land, etc.

Why should the game encourage you to keep such...anachronisms together?

Anachronisms?

QuoteImperator totius Hispaniae is a Latin title meaning "Emperor of all Spain". In Spain in the Middle Ages, the title "emperor" (from Latin imperator) was used under a variety of circumstances from the ninth century onwards, but its usage peaked, as a formal and practical title, between 1086 and 1157.

That's harder with the system they have in place. i'm sticking to my shiney smile idea :P

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
