Making a faction horde after they loose there last settlement

[Balbor]

Am i correct in thinking that to turn a faction into a horde faction I only need to change the descr_sm_factions file entries from:

faction england
culture northern_european
religion catholic
symbol models_strat/symbol_england.CAS
rebel_symbol models_strat/symbol_rebels.CAS
primary_colour red 215, green 0, blue 0
secondary_colour red 255, green 210, blue 0
loading_logo loading_screen/symbols/symbol128_england.tga
standard_index 12
logo_index FACTION_LOGO_ENGLAND
small_logo_index SMALL_FACTION_LOGO_ENGLAND
triumph_value 5
intro_movie faction/major_intro.bik
victory_movie faction/england_win.bik
defeat_movie faction/england_lose.bik
death_movie faction/england_lose.bik
custom_battle_availability yes
can_sap no
prefers_naval_invasions yes
can_have_princess yes
has_family_tree yes

to this

faction england
culture northern_european
religion catholic
symbol models_strat/symbol_england.CAS
rebel_symbol models_strat/symbol_rebels.CAS
primary_colour red 215, green 0, blue 0
secondary_colour red 255, green 210, blue 0

horde_min_named_characters 2
horde_max_percent_army_stack 80
horde_disband_percent_on_settlement_capture 0
horde_unit Feudal Knights
horde_unit Fyrd Spearmen
horde_unit Peasant Archers
horde_unit Longbowmen
horde_unit Spear Militia
horde_unit Dismounted Feudal Knights
horde_unit Dismounted English Knights
horde_unit Peasants
can_sap no
prefers_naval_invasions yes
can_have_princess yes
has_family_tree yes

I assume this would mean when England looses it's last settlement a army of between 10-20 units would spawn made up of those unit

Does anyone have a link that explains:
horde_max_units_reduction_every_horde
horde_unit_per_settlement_population
horde_max_percent_army_stack

cheers

[Gigantus]

that will be sufficient

[Balbor]

cheers, i've got a campaign running with 2 factions set to horde, one is down to it's last 2 settlements so i should find out soon.

Someone said that the game can experience massive ai turn hangs when a faction hordes, is this true?

I have about three factions hording presently and they're not causing any problems at all.

[irishron]

It did the last time I set the Mongols back to horde.

[Gigantus]

There can be a bit of a delay while the individual armies spawn and move, but that is normal. After that I never experienced any further lag.

[irishron]

True, the only lag is the army spawning. Before and after, regular ai turns.
