(Civ 5) Modding personality of city states

[Mr_Wii]

In the civ wiki, it says that the city states' personality (friendly hostile etc) are chosen randomly, but to my knowledge the vanilla CS have a scripted personality

Is there a way to code which personality my modded city states in advance aswell?

The personality is defined by the MinorCivTrait column in the MinorCivilizations table.

 

[LeeS]

MinorCivTrait defines whether they are Militaristic, Religious, Cultured, Maritime, or Mercantile.

Whether they are Friendly, Hostile, Insane (Erratic as I recall), etc., is a different issue so far as I am aware and not directly pre-determinable via Database code.

and not directly pre-determinable via Database code.

It's randomly generated within the DLL. I added a SetPersonality() Lua method.

It's also not used a great deal - the AI uses it when determining if the CS should be chosen for a gold gift, and it affects the types of quest the CS chooses, but that's pretty much it.
