Adding Faction Slots?

[Veliky Kaiser Theos]

Any way to do it? I'd like to add:
Swiss Cantons
Kievan Rus'
Muscovy
Kingdoms factions
That Persian caliphate who's name I forget
Florence (having Machiavelli as a general would be badass)
and Serbia

But faction slot limits get in the way. Need more now!

The max amount of factions that u can add is 31 which is including the slave faction.
What kind mod are u using?

[Veliky Kaiser Theos]

I use Expanded Americas, and I want more than 31, theres a whole bunch of factions to add. I'd like to replace many of the rebels with small factions e.g. replacing slaves/rebels in crimea with Caffa, which could be a protectorate of Genoa, if I make Genoa independant.

I'm sorry bro but 31 is the hard-coded limit of the game u can't add more than 31 factions.
How many factions in total does your mod have?

If the games hardcoding can be changed to remove need for a disc, could the faction limit possibly be changed? Or could the various slave sub factions be given their own diplomacy?

If it could, then it could never be discussed/promoted or provided on these forums as it would involve editing the .exe which is not allowed and, I think, illegal. Although it would be great if CA allowed us to, it is not currently an option and I don't think it ever will be.

NO

Oh well I'll just have to settle for the Swiss and Persians and Ottomans and whatever else I can fit in

This would be the ToS section:

1. Promoting Illegal Activities (1, 4, or 8 points)
   
   Posts that promote violation of the law are not allowed. Violation of the law includes, but is not limited to:
   
   
   • Substantial use of copyrighted material without permission. Examples of acceptable uses would be brief quotes, fan art, signature/avatar images, brief video clips (e.g., YouTube), screenshots, or reasonably limited decorative images in a mod. Unacceptable uses would include entire songs, long videos, large collections of images, altered game executables, pirated operating systems, unmodified game files (except those released by the developers themselves, for example converted .bin files released by CA for M2TW) that are not essential parts of modifications or anything that competes with the work you're copying (i.e., people might just download your copy instead of buying the original). The exact threshold of substantial use will be decided on a case-by-case basis ― if in doubt, ask a Senior Moderator or Administrator.
   • Obtaining or providing ways to circumvent copy protection. This includes no-CD hacks, key generators, hacked ROMs, etc.
   • Cheating in online games, or otherwise violating license agreements.
   • Possessing, distributing, or using drugs in a way that would be illegal in most jurisdictions (e.g., owning marijuana).
   
   "Promoting" illegal activity includes, but is not limited to:
   
   
   • Asking for someone else to commit an illegal activity (e.g., asking for a cracked game).
   • Assisting someone else in an illegal activity (e.g., linking to a site that distributes cracked games).
   • Encouraging or advocating an illegal activity, or portraying it as normal or acceptable (e.g., casually mentioning that you have pirated games/smoked pot/etc. as though this were normal and acceptable). Exceptions will be made for threads that are devoted to serious discussion of illegal activities in an abstract sense (e.g., about whether copyright law should be relaxed or marijuana should be legalized), on a case-by-case basis.
   
   What exactly qualifies as illegal depends on jurisdiction. When jurisdictions differ on whether something is legal, moderators will decide on a case-by-case basis which jurisdiction to follow.

How was I promoting copyright circumvention? I said people do it. I'm not saying that the copyright circumvention should be done, just stating an example of how people have done it as an example of editing hardcoded programing. Nothing supportive or promotive in it.

If editing the .exe breaks agreement, then I missed or forgot that bit I apologize for it but not for the rest of it.

[Gigantus]

I copied the full section for everybody to take a closer look and heighten awareness.

And then I highlighted the part that would be applicable if you tempered with the EXE. No need to panic.
But please take note of the "Promoting" part - asking for, or describing of illegal activities will be looked into and dealt with accordingly.

If you had breached any section of the ToS you would have received a PM stating what your breach (and your penalty) would be.
