Execution and Imprisonment

[Shaxx]

I know I am not the only one... have you ever wanted to abuse some of that 'Faction Leader/Sovereign' Power you have? Execute a noble who looked at you funny, or imprison him at a whim, or humiliate him publicly (sleep with his wife and then grade her sexual prowess, as an example), force him to become a monk, or a woman to become a nun... set your heir to who you wish.

Sought after, but very elusive... but is it really impossible to implement in some form?

If any of you are familiar with Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, there is a mod, well a 'utility' for Mods called 'Oblivion Script Extender' that is essentially a third-party program that runs alongside the game that aids the scripts in the game to go above and beyond the game's vanilla capability.

Can anything like this be done with the Total War shell or is it a pipe dream?

I think what you are describing just might be more immersion than I am prepared to explain to my wife...

[Shaxx]

Heh, well the 'sleeping with his wife and grading her' was something iconically done by the Roman Emperor Caligula, it is a great example of abusing ultimate power.

Setting up Dinner Parties with powerful senators and the top of Roman society, in the middle of dinner, taking off with their wives to another room, and upon returning he would publicly grade their sexual prowess.

Would that be where the term "knocking Boots" comes from?

Haha, that might just be so.

Well I'm for it, if it's do-able.

[Shaxx]

That is the the question, if it is possible... a Third-party program to run along side MTW: 2 that 'extends' the scripting functions in the game to allow previously un-addable, un-doable, un-modable features like executions and perhaps even heir-selecting into the game.

I can only guess, it certainly not being an area of my expertise. I simply have heard of it before in other games and was curious if it is possible for Total War.

You have a sick, sick mind sir.

...but let me know if you figure out how to do these things...

This would be amazing.
Especially the possibility of selecting an heir, as Shaxx said...

anyone know anything?

[Wolfgrin]

Actually, this opens a whole line of possibilities. If we can run a 3rd party script behind the engine, can that help our modders bypass some of the shortcomings of the hard-coded scripts in the game?

The 1 million dollar question.

Your best bet would be to ask this in the mod workshop section.
