All factions horde mod for 6.1

[YD23]

This script makes all the factions horde.

For example, if you destroy let's say, England, an army of remaining citizens will spawn and continue to exist. The army that will spawn will contain a variety of units

That army will then attack the faction that owned that particular city in the first place. - If it was always theirs, they will attack a faction they are at war at, apart from you.

When a Ai faction has become a horde, the player will get a message saying 'A people in flight' - telling you which faction is now a horde"

The player will also get a message saying which town the horde as took as their new capital - this helps give an idea of where the faction has migrated too

It is also good for the human player, if you are getting annihilated you can still survive, move somewhere, eh, a little safer, and later continue the world domination.

Basically this script makes it harder to kill of a particular faction.

Cheers.

yellowdog 23, thanks for this amazing sub-mod! I would say that it works quite well and there are no obvious glitches!

However, an idea occured to me!

Saying that you only have only one settlment left, you could push a button on the bottom, near the show settlment button saying "Leave this settlment and become a Horde"

I don't know if this could be included or not into M2

But I do know that it was implented in one RTW Mod So it might be possibe here

Bumping this to see if anyone else has used or tried this and if it works with RR, TC, etc.

Should work fine with any mod that doesn't change descr_sm_factions.txt or unit names. What yelowdogg23 did was add horde information for each faction to that file.

Should be fine with RR and SSTC, I think.

Example:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

faction						venice
culture						southern_european

symbol						models_strat/symbol_venice.CAS
rebel_symbol				models_strat/symbol_rebels.CAS

horde_disband_percent_on_settlement_capture	0
horde_unit					Italian Spear Militia

horde_unit					Peasant Crossbowmen
horde_unit					Pavise Crossbow Militia
can_sap						no
prefers_naval_invasions		yes
can_have_princess			yes
has_family_tree					yes

As long as the faction info at the top is valid and the specified horde units still exist and can be owned by the given faction within a given mod there should be no problems.

Now that you've brought this up again, I'm just gonna have to play with it and OTZ's AoR mod over the weekend.

I got Battle for the Baltic and Knights Templar Minimod....which changes unit names for Novgorod, TO, and KT.

So incompatible. Right?

[Gnostiko]

And what about compatibility with CBUR?

[ConstantineVII]

And what about compatibility with CBUR?

works perfectly

[dw420]

So...if we where to give "Horde" armies Mercenary squads...they would have to be recruitable at that region where the army goes into "Horde mode"?...or it doesnt matter since all mercs are considered recruitable anywhere for this case?

[Jynx]

What if Ireland becomes a horde, will they generate boats to go onto the mainland? Or will I have to use the teleport cheat to move them?

If you lose all your family members, does it generate new ones?

[ShadowBane]

Is this one compatible with SS 6.1 or 6.2?

[denter]

[tuore]

Please, reupload is needed.

[Sir Walter]

[Jynx]

Attachment 53965

[denter]

[YD23]

[Sir Walter]

[denter]

thanks

[King Beowulf]

Could someone re-upload this please?

Edit: Nevermind, working now

[Balbor]

To make a faction horde do i only need to add this text?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

horde_min_units 10
horde_max_units 20
horde_max_units_reduction_every_horde 10
horde_unit_per_settlement_population 250
horde_min_named_characters 2
horde_max_percent_army_stack 80
horde_disband_percent_on_settlement_capture 0
horde_unit XXXXXXXXXXXXX
horde_unit XXXXXXXXXXXXX
horde_unit XXXXXXXXXXXXX
horde_unit XXXXXXXXXXXXX
horde_unit XXXXXXXXXXXXX
horde_unit XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Is there a max/min number of units i need to define as being horde units (horde_unit).

I'd like to mod my current RR/RC mod so that many of the royal household are not destroyed if they loose there last settlement. What happens to the other factions units which are still in the field when the last settlement is lost. Does this also give factions the ability to horde themselves when they are down to one settlement 1 (as in BI:RTW).
