This system does not affect the Barbershop or Ruler Designer, where you’re still able to choose whatever hair you want.NOTE: Existing characters from save games made before 1.3 might get a new haircut or become bald, and old ruler designer DNA data will not have hair/beard.This means that the King of France won’t braid his beard like a Viking just because his grandfather happened to be Norse! The actual haircut a character uses is now based upon their culture. Instead of inheriting specific haircuts from your parents, you now inherit a ‘hair type’ gene such as ‘straight’, ‘wavy’, ‘curly’ or ‘afro’. Enhanced the hair & beard inheritance gene system.You can also send scathing poems about your rival’s Incompetence, to cause them stress!

They cost prestige to send, and can increase your target’s opinion of you, should they accept. These poems have different themes, such as Strife, Legacy, Romance or Mourning.

This trait can be acquired via events, and allows you to use an interaction to send poems to other characters. Winning/losing these duels adds stress to the loser and de-stresses the winner.

While this system has been hooked into several places, the most prominent change is that the ‘Stalwart Leader’ perk in the Chivalry Focus Tree now allows you to duel your Rivals.

Guide your character by selecting which attacks to go for, and hopefully best your opponent without getting too injured yourself! These duels can be to the death, or to first blood.

A new personal combat system has been added, which allows two characters to face off against each other in a multi-stage duel.

Cavalry will generally do poorly, especially heavy cavalry, while special units such as Himalayan Mountaineers will excel.

Men-at-arms can now come with bonuses or penalties for fighting in Normal or Harsh winter.

This new trait will appear naturally on characters who reside in wintery areas, or can be acquired through events. Added the Winter Soldier commander trait, which enhances warfare when fighting in provinces affected by winter.Harsh Winters will see supplies drain quickly, more fatal casualties will be taken, and the defender of a battle will get an advantage.Normal Winters will noticeably increase the supply use of your units.Mild Winters will very slightly increase the supply use of your units.Snow will blow in the wind with increasing intensity, and you’ll hear the ambience of winter adapt to the cold and harsh reality of the area you’re looking at. Snow will spread on the map, ranging from scattered patches of frost to snow-covered landscapes. Winter is coming to the map! Certain regions will now experience icy winters, ranging from mild to harsh.
