Eliminate Faction via Console?

**smitty** · August 18, 2009, 03:30 PM

Title says it all, any means to eliminate a faction via the console? I'm tired of the OotMM owning the entire upper map, and I'd like to see the Elves/Eriador enjoy map success as I finish off Mordor and Harad with my Gondorian armies. If there is no means, any suggestions on how to kill them in one turn via console?

Did dwarves didn't kill ootmm? That always happen in my campain

But I am sure you can't kill them with console...But you finished your campain with gondor so if you don't like it just stop it

Yeah the dwarves have been getting tooled over by the OotMM, Eriador and Elves too, they basically own all of Eriador, Misty Mountains, and most of the Silvan Elves territory. Quite disappoint to see a nation steamroller so much

Any other suggestions?

kill hre
kill_hre
kill_faction hre

Maybe one of these...

Eh, you could always give Elves/Dwarves/Eriador troops and cash, or you can take away population and cash from the orcs, though tbh if you're nearly done with mordor and harad then just go kill the orcs yourself.

Ok, the best console fix I could find was the surrender_regions command. I entered it as such:

surrender_regions hre

The OotMM are labeled as the hre in the descr_strat, and this command caused every city of theirs to rebel (with no garrison inside however). This caused the Orcs to disband a significant amount of its forces, as well as regroup in a single area to gather up. The results have been nice, as Eriador is now reclaiming itself while the Dwarves are capturing up the northern mountains finally. The orcs are regrouping around Moria/Rivendell areas. Thanks for the input, and hopefully this command helps others in need.

I'd rather play around with EDU and descr_strat.txt instead of using a stupid cheat.

mate u've cheated to help your allies!!?????

Well that seems quite altruistic!

**Big Pacha** · August 19, 2009, 06:35 AM

Sure you can do that but TBH... This is the lousiest cheating move I have ever heard of!

BTW the Gobbos are meant to be a pain in the arse, as in the books btw.

I understand auto-resolve (sometimes when the result is obvious anyway) and the money trick (but only to test a faction!) but that... This is so chicken! Just my personal opinion of course, nothing personal I swear.

EDIT

Well that's not so dumb at all to HELP allies (without cheating!!!).

As the wealthy Dwarves I fully support my Dale & Sindar allies when I can afford it, because they take care of the plains & forests vs. Mordor & Rhun, so I can take care of OotMM mountain strongholds (my goal) without risking a backstab. Something that occurs oftenly on TATW (but that's ok). Allying with Eriador & Noldor Elves (please don't call them "High Elves"!!!) but without my direct help was also a smart defensive move, so now they go south bashing orcs, gobbos & uruks + protecting my Blue Mountains! Cool! This is more than needed on VH/VH, believe me!

I saved the Sindars on northern Anduin vale and they help me repelling goblin raiding parties. IMO Good diplo AI on that part.
