how come no ones ever made a mod that makes the populace happy no matter what? that'd make things alot easier.

I'd be happy enough to have some way to remove squalor. Like a button that kills all the poor people.

Well see now the thing is... if you kill all the unhappy people then gradually your populace will evolve into a race that is happy with you. Which leads me onto...

I'm sure the removing of poor people...... could be arranged...

I'd like an option to be able to warn the populace to cut it out or else!

You should really learn what the engine allows before pitching ideas.

A great man once said about a similar topic,



If you can get these to work we'd all be very appreciative.

yeah i know, and i am really sorry, trust me i would make one my self but i dont know how.

Have a look at text files. Take a guess what they do. Changing reputation.. . is really really easy. This isn't exactly asking for more provinces here... just about 20-100 numbers you need to change.
Unpack all files
Look at desc_campaign_ai_db
Go from there

The game promotes fascism. There's nothing you can do to remove squalor other than waiting until there's so many poor people that your city revolts, after which you exterminate your own city and everyone still living it after the slaughter is happy happy happy. Works every time. It's just so boring. They might just as well have a "kill all the poor people" button. Naturally it would give whoever does it a lot of dread and cause some temporary unrest in the city, and the pope might not agree, but what choice do we have? Build public schools? Sorry - those were invented for exactly that purpose, but hundreds of years later.

Reputation has been changed in tons of mods.

that'd make things alot easier.

While many of us are searching for ways to make the game much harder.

SilverKing, why don't you make these mods?

You should really learn what the engine allows before pitching ideas.

A great man once said about a similar topic,

You seem to be mistaking "giving an idea" and "implementing a feature". People who gave the ideas in the past are not necessarily people who made it work. Often, the ones with "ideas" just laid back and said "Hey give it a try! Make it work!" and then someone else had to bust their asses off to actually make it work.

Ideas are cheap and easy to get.
If you really want to help, then do less "Try to make it!!" and more "Here's how you do it!". We'd even appreciate if you'd even say "I have tested it and it works!"

If you can get these to work we'd all be very appreciative.

Just edit the export_descr_buildings.txt (need to be unpacked first).

Just look for the line population happiness bonus or law bonus or something to that effect. Just add the same exact word to every building there.

Make sure the bonus is not in the negatives value. This way you'll always get bonuses no matter what, except those (I think) hardcoded effect due to religious differences.

[SilverKing]

do i need to download somethin to unpack them?

Nope. You only need to read the M2TW readme file ....

....
After scanning through each of the game mechanic text files (so obviously not sound or model ones...) you would know this. Seriously have a read...
there are two ways to remove rebels and pirates but I think it's better if you work it out yourself.

*HINT take a look at the map ones.

[SilverKing]

im serious man i am sick of those damn heretics and witches, they can really get on my nerves at the worst times.
i also hate those stupid mongols and the timurids. and the aztecs dont even provide a challenge.
