Teutonic style family tree

[Schweizergarde]

What files do I have to alter to change factions with old family tree into the teutonic style family tree?

[TiTiTimmy]

Just unpack the game open descr_sm_factions and change like below

faction england
culture northern_european
religion catholic
symbol models_strat/symbol_england.CAS
rebel_symbol models_strat/symbol_rebels.CAS
primary_colour red 215, green 0, blue 0
secondary_colour red 255, green 210, blue 0
loading_logo loading_screen/symbols/symbol128_england.tga
standard_index 12
logo_index FACTION_LOGO_ENGLAND
small_logo_index SMALL_FACTION_LOGO_ENGLAND
triumph_value 5
custom_battle_availability yes
can_sap no
prefers_naval_invasions yes
can_have_princess yes
has_family_tree yes

to this

faction england
culture northern_european
religion catholic
symbol models_strat/symbol_england.CAS
rebel_symbol models_strat/symbol_rebels.CAS
primary_colour red 215, green 0, blue 0
secondary_colour red 255, green 210, blue 0
loading_logo loading_screen/symbols/symbol128_england.tga
standard_index 12
logo_index FACTION_LOGO_ENGLAND
small_logo_index SMALL_FACTION_LOGO_ENGLAND
triumph_value 5
custom_battle_availability yes
can_sap no
prefers_naval_invasions yes
can_have_princess no
has_family_tree teutonic

Don't know if it works with medieval 2

[Schweizergarde]

That should be it, thanks.

[Dimitri_Harkov]

May I humbly ask (a bit off-topic) what is different about the Teutonic family tree?

Cheers,
D.

[Schweizergarde]

The only difference I have seen between "teutonic" and "no" values for has_family_tree is in the Teutonic Kingdoms mod, there's separate titles for adoption aka "Recruitment" in event_titles in text.

[Dimitri_Harkov]

Thanks!

hm... that's not very much of a difference...

Cheers,
D.

I think you don't get wives or something so they don't procreate, they recruit.

This is what the teutonic family system does:

- Removes the faction's family tree. The faction wont get any princesses.
- The general with the highest command rating becomes the new leader when the current leader dies.
- Faction heirs are still there for the faction, but being the 'heir' does not actually make a general the new leader when the current leader dies. Instead, the faction heir is now just a special title with some benefits to various attributes, that can obviously only be held by one character at a time. When the 'heir' dies, a new character gets the title like normal.
An example is the Ordenmarshall from the teutonic order. He does not necessarily have to become the new leader.

You can then change various labels in expanded.txt to remove any references to "Family Member" and the like. For example, the labels of the various teutonic members on the campaign map are "Member of the Teutonic Order"

[Dimitri_Harkov]

Thanks for that good explaination! +rep!

[Schweizergarde]

Jonr-

Thanks a lot. +rep
The highest command rating general becomes the leader if the entry is "No" for has_family_tree too, right?
Also, is it hardcoded that the criteria is command stars (can it be changed to use authority instead)?

[JonR]

I don't know for sure who becomes the faction leader when you use "no" for has_family_tree, because I've never used that.
As for the criteria, I haven't been able to find anything in the .xml files regarding this, so it's probably hardcoded.
