Isn't hotseat playable in alpha? And about that....if i play with me brotha...how do one fight on same screen? Aouto resolve only aight??!

[Lordinquisitor]

Yes, only auto resolve is possible. Well, i think you can turn on that you are able to fight the a.i on the battlemap, but you can`t fight against another player on the battlefield.

[Marcus Marcellus]

I can live with that...makes it trickier to choose the army stacks right...have to think how to counter his units with just a unit choise.... Intresting indeed.

How does dipplomacy work then??

[Lordinquisitor]

I honestly don`t know, i have never played an hotseat campaign.

[Marcus Marcellus]

Wonder if it's possible, cus the 2player would have a way to click in the Dip.Menu if not by my hand....wich is weird i think if that works.

[lh197]

From what I remember (haven't played one in a very long time) I always found the best way to make the hotseat a good game with someone was to play as 2 factions who were natural allies and work together, because most of the built in interactions like diplomacy were pretty useless.. could be thats different now though as there have been a fair few updates since the last time I used it.

[Marcus Marcellus]

Yeah, but what if me plays me favourite guys Martell(will play rest too but u know..) and me brotha wanna plee Lannister?! Seem we need soma diplomacy made ne?!

[lh197]

Why not try it on kingdoms 1.5? If diplomacy is supported there then there's no reason it wouldn't be when 1.0 is released. And like I said it's been a long time since I played one, I'm not sure if it wasn't supported when I played it or if I just chose to ignore it

I hadn't picked up on a certain leaders wisdom back then..
"Some wars are won with swords and spears, others with quills and ravens.."

Hey everyone !

Firts of all, I'd like to thank the W:TW team for their great job. Being a huge fan of GRRM's work, I really enjoy playing this mod, even in Alpha stage. Keep up the great work !

I began an new campaign with Stannis's House, declared my self as king of Dragonstone, and then my victory conditions changed, as I need to be the only king in Westeros. It's written that I can either destroy the traitorous Houses or make the so-called kings abdicate. I'd just want to know, how could I do this ? I mean, I really enjoy crushing my ennemies, but if I have to conquer the North and the Iron Islands, while I am still dealing with Renly and Joff, my campaign could last a veeeery long time

How could I make the other kings abdicate ? When I played with the Starks, I utterly crushed the Greyjoy and Joff, but none of them gave up before vanishing.

I also noticed a few things during my games : Stark and Stannis's characters on the campaign map and on the battle field are mute, and the Storm's Ends knights are un-textured (the are made of silver, riding Danish horses ^^). I guess that the first issue may be caused by my game version being a French one, and the other by the mod still being in an early stage, but if someone knows a way to fix it...

PS : I apologize for the grammar mistakes you may find in this post, as I do not speak English fluently

[Trivmphator]

The only time another King in my campaign abdicated was when he only had two settlements left and both were towns and stuff. Looking back a factor might be killing off the current king of the faction and besieging the faction heir at the same time. The next turn he abdicated.

[Sgt. Noob]

what does "abdicate" mean ?

is it vassalage ?

[Arkenon]

Thanks for your answer Triumphator, I'll try it

Anyway, I'm still interested in an "official" answer, if someone knows it for sure.

@ : Noobas
Well, I may have used an uncorrect verb, but it seems to me that "abdicate", when talking about a king, or someone who has got some power, means that he renounces to it. When used in every day life, it could simply mean "give up". That's the correct defintion in French for "abdiquer", and I suppose it is the same in English.

[Sgt. Noob]

ok thanks...i guess it's a bit of an "intellectual" term in english and i've never encountered it before

so it is about vassalage ?

That is pretty easy to figure out, just search for a general in the faction you want to add a new one too, for instance if Joffrey then search for Joffrey or the Hound. Once you have found their entry you can see how it is done, just do a copy and paste and change the relevant bits (name, traits, age, etc, etc).

Can i by this post assume that the right files are in the WTW data maps? Is there a descr strat file in there?! i belive i haven't seen one....should take a better look tomorrow ey!?
Thanks mate!

Can i find the "name list" for possible random names for a faction in the same file?! I know Velaryon is a joffry possible name..but is Eon a possible first name?! Id like a Eon Velaryon in there...and the possibility to get a boy named eon later too

[Jaime Goldenhand]

It means to cast off something or to formally relinquish power. It is a lot in history when a Monarch flees the country to escape revolution or a coup. Ex. Kaiser Wilhelm after WWI

[Cillian]

I would guess that it doesnt apply to anything in-game but I may be wrong
