This is how ideologies are defined:
"
democratic = {
types = {
conservatism = {
}
liberalism = {
}
socialism = {
}
populism = {
}
}
"
It will automatically change to the character when the ruling party is changed. you can use set_ruling_party command to quickly change the ruling party

Characters = {} isn't something that exists. You recruit Characters with, well "recruit_character ="
You can check Vanilla history files for Refrence

Characters = {} isn't something that exists. You recruit Characters with, well "...
oh yea, you define characters with that, and then you recruit em, forgor about that.
full raft
So, yeah characters = {} is used in a different File, I believe
zealous path
nah i use characters = {}
in my characters file for my mod
it works fine
this is how I did my file
no errors, works fine
full raft
Yes, but the posted File was history country file
zealous path
yea, for history you need to recruit characters defined in characters file
zealous path
what did i do wrong?
so yea, as pokewars stated, you have to do "recruit_character = [NAME]"
and in common>characters>(...).txt you define it with characters = { } and put the names in there.
this is how it would look in practice

I don't know anything about that, but here is wiki: https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Font_modding (just in case you didn't have that before)

hi,
i wanna make a submod that prevents the AI from making divisions with names like "infantry template 5" or similar
the wiki doesn't tell me whether this is governed by localization or unit files (or both)
where do i have to start looking?

yoo pokewars are you able soon to help me out with the leader thing

I... did? The Thing me an oofioznis talked about, that is your Issue.
dry plinth
i mean its to complicated for my small brain

Okay, sooooo.
Characters are Entities, like Units, Nations, States, whatever. So they have their own File, where they are created, with the Characters = {} block you added to the history File of your Nation here. That doesn't belong there, it belongs in its own dedicated file in common/characters
In the history File, add the recruit_character effect for every Character you wish to add, just like shown in many Vanilla files or the example given by oofioznis (last picture)

If you want the AI to dynamically create Divisions, that is not possible. However I'll look into whether it is possible to block AI from generating templates, but not from changing them.
If adaption is not necessary, that seems easy enough

If you want the AI to dynamically create Divisions, that is not possible. Howeve...
I think it would be enough if i could remove the "template" from the template names... if it ends up spitting out "1. Infantry Division 2" "3. Motorized Division 4" "2. Tank Division 3" instead, i'd be fine with that... just can't figure out where to unify template names

So did i make this first thing good?
full raft
I don't believe changing the procedural Names is possible? Would guess it to be in Localization if anywhere, though I would have to dig there

So did i make this first thing good?
I mean, if that leader was created in their own file, then it is all good, yes

guess i have to dig deeper myself then, thanks anyway

in own file in what way

A Character is like a National Spirit, it needs its own entry in a .txt file in the folder common/characters
Typically all characters of one Nation are collected in one .txt File. Check Vanilla Files for Refrence

ohh okay ty

i think i found it, just need to make new files in common\units\names_divisions for each tag

Nah, that is for individual units, not the templates, as far as i can see

Right, you need to actually tell the Game that that Portrait ... exists, basically. https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Character_modding#Arguments relevant Wikipoint (under Portraits)
