Re: Converting
In DLV this doesn't happen. If you want to mod it then search the forum, I'm sure someone else has done this before.

Aye, in Deus lo Vult you cannot change them. It makes having several super-castles very costly. DLV - anything to make life difficult!

Re: Converting
I find it also influences my campaigning, like when I want to wipe out a faction, I try to take their cities first, to get the money to continue killing them. Then I take the castles when their big armies are crushed.

Re: Converting
Anychance on changing castles into cities or vice versa permanently (as in altering them)? Thanks in advance once more.

Re: Converting
There is an older thread - I can't remember it's title - that had a fix for this.Originally Posted by Bowden
But repman deleted and stated that he wants to keep DLV the way it is now.
If you want it, you can search for this older thread and ask the fix from the guy that had made it.
BUT this should be for your personal use, as repman [see above] does not approve it.
Cheers

Re: Converting
Ah I think Bowden means that he wants to edit the campaign setup so that when you start specific cities are castles instead or vice versa, am I right?
If I am right then I haven't a clue, sorry mate.

Re: Converting
This seems very easy, but I think it is more complicated, because of the metropolis stuff in regions.txt.
I can't check it as I am at work right now - sorry.

Re: Converting
Taiji is right. A "convert to city/castle" building option would be nice too, but I respect repman about that.
@Agis: thanks in advance.

Re: Converting
No converting religion for some countries would be nice.
On your topic...I would like to have a limited chance to convert cities and castles.
Ex: only one conversion every 40yrs or something like that.

Re: Converting
As the very late era tends to need citys, rather then castles. I think some castles(not all!) could change to citys decades after the gunpowder age. To simulate the uselessnes of castle vs. gunpowder.
I also hope archer militia and other early technology units will be disabled in the very late later era for all factions, to simulate the end of fuedal era.
~My two cents...
Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga- The pranks played on the knight Jean de Joinville, 1249, 7th crusade.I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

Re: Converting
That is a good idea Blackleaf....Some sort of option after the gunpowder event.. That seems really logical and wouldn't mess with game balance too much.
problem is the AI doesn't know how to convert castles.....

This is the thread with instructions on how to enable converting settlements. I tried it and it works.

Re: Converting
I don't have to be an option, but a change by force into villages or wooden walls. The obvius ones, like:
- Oslo can be force converted in 1314, when the letter from King Haakon 5 order ooslo into the capital.
- Magdeburg can change during the 13th century as it changed to a merchent type and joined the Hanseatic League. Magdeburg was one of the cities with more than 20,000 inhabitants in the Holy Roman Empire.
- etc...
