    Default New crusade and jihad religions

    Hi folks, did some searching but no one's addressed this problem before.

    How is it that we create religions whose priests can then declare crusades and jihads? I don't even know where to specify it. I even changed the entry in descr_missions.txt:

    Code:
    mission jihad_active ; (NOT SUITABLE FOR VARIANTS)
    {
        duration 0
        paybacks
        {
            payback_id empty_payback
        }
    
        eligible_religions
        {
            etruscanr
        }
    }


    "If ye love wealth greater than liberty,
    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."

    Crusade is tied to catholic, jihad is tied to islam. You can see this in the Americas campaign, the warpath ability of the apaches is really the jihad/islam renamed in expanded.txt.

    Didn't the German Mod, Das Romanische Reich or something, make it so you can vote for the Holy Roman Emperor or whatever? I imagine they did that using the Pope function :hmmm:, or it is just a whole lot of scripting...

    I'm not sure about the crusade/jihad ordeal, but I'm interested in that as well. I imagine that when it says not suitable for variation, it means something in the hardcode looks specifically for catholic/islam, so you'd need to find all instances of one or the other and just rename it all :hmmm:. GrnEyedDvl is right about Islam being renamed in the americas campaign, I can't find the entry being referred to in expanded.txt though.

    Cheers,
    Augustus

    you folks have probably figured this out already, but religions are in religions.txt.strings. who would have thunk it...

    {catholic}Catholic
    {heretic}Heretic
    {islam}Great Spirit
    {orthodox}Orthodox
    {pagan}Sun God

    I think CA is just being lazy, however. At least I really hope so, because I already removed Islam from our mod...


    Augustus, that feature was just a lot of scripting. It uses different windows from Papal voting.

    Put it back in, I cant find it but I remember a discussion about it several months ago. I dont think anyone has solved this other than to rename religions.

    Well its one of those damn files lol

    Sig is right, the voting was a bunch of scripting, and I never liked how it worked. It was all tied into traits and was quite clumsy. Even with the new accept/decline feature in Kingdoms I havent thought of a way to vote that I consider acceptable.

    At least it works. But you are very welcome to come up with a less 'clumsy' alternative.

    On the subject: GED is right: hardcoded. I fear if you like to include Jihads in any form, you'll have to do the same as they did in the Americas campaign.

    Yeah, if you've already removed Islam, you can just rename it to whatever you want. In the descr_campaign_db.xml, you can even change how much Piety is required for a priest to declare a jihad.

    You mean, put it back in and rename it, I assume?

    Thanks for the hat tip on descr_campaign_db.xml.
