How To Create a New Faction (using Normans/Saxons)

[TheGoodOld BritishChap]

Where are the files 'expot_buildings.txt' etc located? I've been looking for ages

In the text folder after converting the string.bin files.

How do I rename characters? I dried doing it by changing their name in the desc.strat file and the game stopped working.

}
}

u need to edit desr_names and text/names files first, then u can use that names in other files. that's why u got crash.

u did not follow tutorial from start. u must use normans of saxons for your faction. so it must go like this:
faction normans ( or saxons ), trader henry, etc...

Incoming noob. I want to create a faction for a mod that uses Kingdoms, is any of this applicable? What is/isn't? Again, thank you, and please bear with me, I have never modded anything and want to learn from scratch.

[Gigantus]

Do it the easier way with supporting files.

[TheRomeBoy2]

Hello where it says open expanded.text that file does not exist in my computer and I really want to change the faction name plz help me as soon as possible?

[Gigantus]

Use the BinEditor to open the STRING.BIN version of that file and 'export' it (creates editable TXT version). If you do not have that file at all, then you need to extract it.

A complete set of required files can be found in this tutorial.

Hey could use help made Saxon faction but I want to add a adult heir,generals,and a princess but every time I try it when I select Saxon and press start it loops back to the man menu

[Gigantus]

Check your log - it will say where the error is.

[Gigantus]

You can't - the game needs at least one faction with the special ability 'slave_faction '.

[Gigantus]

Either follow this tutorial or this (more extensive) one: Creating a World - Adding a new Faction

Great tutorial

[ElijahR]

I did this and lost automatically, how do I fix this

[CavalryCmdr]

You have to put victory conditions in for them
\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
descr_win_conditions.txt

[ElijahR]

You have to put victory conditions in for them
\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
descr_win_conditions.txt

I did

[Gigantus]

If you played the Normans and lost automatically then it's not because of the win_conditions of the Normans - you either did not allocate a settlement to the faction or don't have a named character.
