Game reverts difficulty automatically

[benczeb90]

I've got a weird problem to solve.

In a hotseat campaign the game reverts to M difficulty from
-VH,
-Hard, and
-Easy campaign difficulties,
when I end the first turn (actually when the game changes to the next player(s)).
After i change to the next player, there I get two "thank you from the team" messages instead of just one, via the usual scrolls, which are appearing after the "End turn report" scroll. The first scroll says that i'm in VH, which is what i set before starting the campaign, and the second, almost exactly same scroll tells me that the campaign difficulty is medium. BUT HELL...

Is this affecting my game? Is it possible to keep the hard or very hard difficulty valid for all the factions and players? I don't want to play in medium.

vvvvv
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: its a new installation (6.4) on win7 x64, latest kingdoms, bgr not enabled, savage AI.

[complete noob:(]

It has nothing to do with the mod. It is a hotseat bug from M2TW. Although I'm not quite sure if the AI truly is normal, or if it just says it is.

did this ever get answered? I have looked around and so far all i can see suggests that to play with difficulty settings on hotseat you will need to roll back the game to a previous version like 6.2 or something like that? Is there a definitive answer to this mystery?

i have found an answer. It has worked for me so far. I went to the campaign_script and found the script which sets the difficulty. Then i changed the 'medium' settings but copying and pasting all of the setting which were under very hard into medium. An example is below.
I have not tested it but have gone beyond turn 10 on a hotseat and things have been much harder. The best tester is that changing the capital costs much more and factions are still being charged the Very Hard amount after turn one.

and CampaignDifficulty = medium


set_event_counter DifficultyLevel 4 (should be two)


historic_event difficulty_very_hard (should be medium)

Hi.

Did this work? And if it did, where can I find the campaign_script?

Would be awesome with an answer!

Thanks

[FearThePenguinz]

Ive tried to follow your instructions but I find them hard to follow... Cant u post ur script?

If u cant then please help me with this issue.

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal

There is several (4) with this name? What should i do with if

and CampaignDifficulty = medium

Once again several different with the same name. Wich one to edit?

set_event_counter DifficultyLevel 4 (should be two)

I found three of these not two?

historic_event difficulty_very_hard (should be medium)

Cant find this at alla only other historic_event fall_of_venice etc

Would appreciate it a lot if you could take some time and help me with this!

Sorry to UP this topic! I really need to fix this difficulty setting problem (its changing to Medium after first turn).

If there is no other easier solution... someone knows which "campaign_script" I must change to fix it? (I have more than one in my SS folder...)

afaik slecting all factions allows to keep VH dificulty, if game crashes when trying to select them all then delete all the vc_aragon vc_byzantium stuff inside \mods\SS6.3\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign, delete all those things that have a faction name and game shouldnt be crashing anymore, your map will look a bit diferent during the campaign tho, i think adding them back after might fix it

or if you still want to try that other solution then for all the campaign script you can find
