Keeping it real! need help!

Hey everybody!

First let me say i love this mod. However, i do like to keep things as realistic as i possibaly can. In my game scotland has just fallen but not because they were attacked. As far as i can tell its becasue they only had one family member active and it was the king who died naturaly.

Is there anyway to bring back a dead faction or prevent this from happening?:hmmm:

Bring back dead faction; Unfortunately no.
Prevent this from happening; Yes.

Makes generals recruitable at any stable level (yes the bots recruit them as well, meaning they will always have a usurper ready to seize the throne if the royals die).
Goes to Stainless Steel/Data (be ware and backup, I did some other fixes too).

Thanks king!

The only problem is that i already have a pretty heavily modded export_descr_buildings file and its also set to 2 terns per year. I dont really want to lose these settings and if i overwrite it with your file i defffo will.

Is there any way you could tell me how to add that specific setting to my already modded export_descr_buildings file?

thanks

In that cases, instead of faction destroyed, there should be emerging generals and maybe a civil war, if possible... like a dispute for the throne...

This is unfortunately not possible.

That is possible. You can spawn family generals in Kingdoms. An easier way to tackle the problem is to give the AI the fertility trait in the character_traits file.

Can you script so that if a faction gets destroyed they spawn an army or start a civil war? This is new to me.
Of course you can script a spawning army, but not if the actual faction is already destroyed right?

Actually you can spawn armies for dead factions as long as they're set to horde (i.e. they can exist without a settlement). There's example code in alpaca's Script-O-Rama thread.

Well lets say a faction died, that doesnt mean that all of a sudden all of the americans, or English, or Russians just die and dissapear from the wordl right? What they could do would be to implemante a system that turn all of Englands armies into English rebels, and all join together and try to attack former english towns, and if they manage to capture one, then they re-form "Englan" And England comes back as a major power once agains, however if all of the peopel in the faction are killed, then the faction dies, like in Amercias Campaign in Kingdoms...
