Late Period Hotseat mode

[Metzger]

How do you enable the Late period hotseat mode in SS 6.1? I've been looking on Google all day and there's NOTHING explaining how to do it. Help?

EDIT: Hi everyone, I've figured out how to enable the hotseat in SS 6.1, and I will share the following helpful quote and link to its containing page with you:

step 1
for it copy all from Late era campaign folder for example med2\mods\Stainless_Steel_6.0\data\world\maps\campaign\custom\Late_Era_Campaign
In for example med2\mods\Stainless_Steel_6.0\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

step2
copy file decr_regions from
Stainless_Steel_6.0\data\world\maps\campaign\custom\imperial_campaign
in
Stainless_Steel_6.0\data\world\maps\base\

step 3
rename custom_script.txt file to campaign_script.txt
in
Stainless_Steel_6.0\data\world\maps\campaign\custom\imperial_campaign

step 4
go to
Stainless_Steel_6.0\data \text\
rename files
Late_era_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt
Late_era_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt.strings.bin
on
imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt
imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt.strings.bin

Make sure to back up your old Imperial campaign folder if you want to play Early period hotseat again...

After this there is ONE more thing you must do,

Go to the file named "descr_strat.txt" in C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\ and open it up to edit it.

This is important!

Move all the factions you don't want to play to Non-playable, but I believe that only ~21 factions can be playable at one time on 6.1, because it doesn't seem to work if you have all the normal ones set to playable.

It's a good idea to have only 2-4+ factions on at a time, and not too many, try only a few if it's not working with the full list.

Sry rubbish post! Not sure how.

P.S I have no idea

Now you can play late era in hotseat only for SS6.0

Are you sure, it looks like it's only for 6.0...

Is this mod compatible with S.S 6.1 patch???

i will not realese mod for late era hotseat for SS6.1

you can do it yourself

Is it easier to do it in 6.1 or something? I'm wondering if it's as simple as editing a notepad?

[Metzger]

Ahh, someone please help! How is it done?

[Metzger]

Oops, nevermind, I found out how to do it, thanks anyways.

You foind a way how to host a 6.1 late era hotseat game? please do tell. :O

[thelord]

I believe you have to swap the early era files with the late era ones.

Don't try it though i'm not 100% sure.

There will be a late era swapper included in next ss patch.
