Searching for Abbasid characters with religious sympathy traits
The Character finder is a powerful tool. It can be opened by clicking a button at the bottom right of the screen, or by pressing the period key (.).
Free text search[edit | edit source]
By typing into the box at the top, you can narrow the search by:
- Given names
- Dynasty names
- Names of claimed titles
- Names of artifacts
- Traits
- Displayed trait names up to the first space
- Internal trait names after any underscore
- For example, "leader" matches many leadership traits, including Unyielding
because its internal name is unyielding_leader.
- For example, "leader" matches many leadership traits, including Unyielding
- Search for multiple traits: "genius strong" to jumpstart your eugenics program

Searching from another character's perspective[edit | edit source]
It is possible to search from another character's perspective:
- Right-click on the portrait of the character
- Left-click on the "Explore Character Opinions"
button
This makes it possible to filter for their culture, religion, dynasty, or vassals.
Quirks[edit | edit source]
- Sorting by "dynasty" only sorts by dynasty name.
- Sorting by "age" only sorts by integer floor of age.
- It is often necessary to refresh the list by clicking the left-hand buttons, or the sort order by switching to another sort and back.
- If you filter after scrolling down, you may see no matches at all until you scroll up.
- To search for lowborn characters, type "no_dynasty".
- To clear the text field, use ^Ctrl+←Backspace (even on Mac)
Mods[edit | edit source]
Mods can add traits in order to improve the character finder. The following mods add purely informational traits:
- Pact Traits - characters with whom you could negotiate NAPs and alliances
- Heir Traits - title heirs by rank
The mods below are Ironman-compatible, and available via Steam workshop:
- Character Finder Addon - adds color indicators to the Character Portraits, showing different statistics at a glance, such as claims, bloodlines, wealth, artifacts in posession
- All Artifacts At Once - allows to search for all characters with any artifacts, without specifying each artifact name separately
