adding a emerging faction to playable

**KSI Crusader 7x** · July 30, 2010, 06:02 PM

Well in Third age total war 2.0 the faction of eriador(turks) become the faction Arnor(byzantium) when you capture certain settlements and upgrade a special city high enough, and your faction leader becomes king of another faction.

i just want the faction of eriador to begin as arnor from the start because i use my created general and i use a arnor unit as a general.

i changed everything in the descr_strat to arnor instead of eriador like the settlement ownership and stuff and added them as selectable in in the faction selection but when i start the campaign i cant do nothing and they own nothing at all.

help please

KSI Crusader 7x: I would just alter the Arnor script in the campaign_script file, so that the Arnor emerging event fires on turn one.

yea i can but my created general would not be there because he is not apart of the beginning faction

1) Delete the faction entry for the faction from the CS.
2) Under descr_strat.txt under the faction entry delete
dead_until_resurrected Line from it.
3) Open the descr_sm_factions.txt file and delete this line from the faction entry
, spawned_on_event

In the descr_resions.txt in "data/world/maps/base" find the region/s you want to change the starting religion, and modify the values for the religion in each region/s.

Like Archaon said above you have to edit that file.

Simply change the numbers and make sure the total always comes out to be 100.

well i did it like you guys said and it did not change

**Taiji** · August 01, 2010, 04:04 PM

You'd need to delete map.rwm to see effects from changes to descr_regions.txt.

I don't get it what u are trying to say?

**irishron** · August 01, 2010, 08:03 PM

Ishan, you know how the bottom row of faction icons is on the "faction-choosing screen" (my term)?
Any added faction icons go on the upper row - second row to him.

The only way I know that may work is reshuffle the faction oder in the descr_sm_factions.txt and decsr_strat.txt. No bets because I never tried it.

**KSI Crusader 7x** · August 01, 2010, 09:11 PM

i mean in the menu where it shows how much culture influence there is in a certain settlement. there is two rows where the player's influence is on the top and every other culture influence is on the bottom.

**irishron** · August 01, 2010, 09:58 PM

That is hardcoded.

**KSI Crusader 7x** · August 01, 2010, 10:07 PM

so no matter what it will never give me the influence of the culture i need there?

**irishron** · August 01, 2010, 10:54 PM

The only ways you influence culture in a region is in the settlement mechanics for some, the ally/enemy settings at the bottom of the descr_strat, and after that what you do with the region as far as buildings you build, what kind of a governor you have in the region if any,and tax rate. Distance to Capital can be adjusted some. After that all the algorithms and "rolling of the dice" are hardcoded.

**KSI Crusader 7x** · August 01, 2010, 11:26 PM

for some reason i noticed its giving me the wrong culture requirement for my faction

its giving me the culture influence of eriador(the previous faction that becomes arnor).

any idea on that?

edit: well forget it, i figured it out =)
i had to remove the event requirements in the export_descr_building and in the descr_cm_factions it had arnor with northmen instead of what i needed which idk why because when they emerge they have the right influence. but i did it =) thanks for all your help guys.
