    Default Faction re-emerges???

    I was wondering if after a faction is destroyed if it could be "brought back to life"....my idea is...if a specific settlement rebels...instead of it spawning rebels it spawns the old faction that was destroyed but historical controled that region....I am just not sure if the game would "allow" a destroyed faction to enter back into the game

    I also wanted to do something like this. I am pretty sure that the only way is to use another faction slot for the re-emerging faction...and even then...you can't give emerging factions specific settlements...so, yeah, I don't think it can be done.

    Based on your thread.... I can only have a re-emerging faction spawn as an Army Horde somewhere specified on the map...but not give them a settlement that rebels from it's current occupant correct?....What if I have the re-emerging faction set to spawn on the same coordinance as a settlement? Would this get a crash or would it give the emerging faction the settlement?

    The army would stand on top of the settlement. I don't know a way to give a settlement to a certain faction except when it's shadowing another faction but this won't work here.
    You can create a monitor that reacts on the settlement being lost by the old owner and then pop up a horde there. If you don't have any other (read: normal) hordes there seems to be a setting in the campaign_db that allows you to make it more likely they'll attack the province they started in which you could maybe use to push them a bit.
    There's a command that forces a character to attack the settlement but it won't make the horde settle down unless they want to do it anyways.

    Just a wild shot in the dark here -- can you have all factions shadow all other factions? Wonder what would happen there... then again I'm tired and can't think straight right now...

    the tranquility of servitude greater than
    the animating contest for freedom, go
    home from us in peace. We seek not
    your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch
    down and lick the hand that feeds you,
    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."

    Not sure really, I think I tested it once but the results weren't very useful but I don't quite remember what happened. It definitely doesn't allow you to control who'll get the settlement though.

    Thanks but don't rely on it, my advice is often very short and assumes that the advised person will do some work of their own instead of expecting someone to make their mod for them which is not always the case.
