Disable factions to Settle

**Swagger** · April 10, 2009, 07:26 AM

hey

i would like to make a new emergent faction (easy)

but i would like to make that faction unable to settle down

it's purpose would be only to exterminate/sack all the settlements they conquer, and to continue to fight

so everytime they capture a settlment, they won't occupy it, but raid/exterminate, and then move to the another

basicly they'll be the mongols, but without the option to settle down, and to be the a scorge (and they'll recieve reinforcements from times to times (script)

is there anyway to do this?

I don't think this is possible.

I don't know for sure, but hordes settle down in settlements with a hidden resource named horde_target.

So when you remove this hidden resource, hordes shouldn't settle down.
Theoretically.

i think the horde_target entry makes that settlement have more chances to become a target to the hordes

but maybe you're right, removing it would make the hordes more unlikely to settle down

i think the horde_target entry makes that settlement have more chances to become a target to the hordes

So I ask in return: Why do hordes only settle in regions that have the horde_target resource?

Try and we'll see^^

i can't now

the script isn't made

**Nevada** · April 10, 2009, 02:18 PM

Ok then, but I'd really like to know if it works...

**Swagger** · April 10, 2009, 02:53 PM

yea sure

I do recall seeing in the Americas campaign how the French repeatedly exterminated rebel natives but did not settle until a certain date. Maybe have a look at the Americas script?

**Swagger** · April 10, 2009, 08:17 PM

i don't have it installed

(and im not planning to install)

well, then, sounds like you will have to enjoy never solving your concern... no research = no solution. :/

Nothing unusual in there.
Descr_regions has got no "horde" entry.

that almost confirms my question..

**Archaon** · September 17, 2009, 05:47 AM

did we ever figure out how French were able to settle when Americas has no horde_target in descr_regions????

I am almost certain horde_target is required for a horde to settle... otherwise they forever sack...
