Forts

**Rowdytavern** · December 05, 2010, 03:32 PM

First I would like to say how great this mod is. I think It is by far the most fun to play. VH/Vh

However I searched around this forum for an answer but to no avail.

So Basically how do you (or can you) dismantle the forts that the AI litters around the map?? I just find it so frustrating that these forts apear all over and to my mind just frustrates me. Any help would be great

PS I've got +rep to give...

About the best I can do at this point is this.

Open the descr_campaign_db.xml file in C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod\data [this is the default directory] using your text editor.

Locate this section of code using your find function or by scrolling down until you locate it:

Code:

 
<settlement>
        <sack_money_modifier float = "0.4"/>
        <exterminate_money_modifier float = "0.5"/>
        <chiv_spf_modifier float = "1.0"/>
        <chiv_sof_modifier float = "1.0"/>
        <dread_sof_modifier float = "-1.0"/>
        <piety_cor_sif_modifier float = "1.0"/>
        <piety_admin_sif_modifier float = "1.0"/>
        <port_to_port_mp_min float = "100.0"/>
        <heresy_unrest_modifier float = "30.0"/>
        <religion_unrest_modifier float = "20.0"/>
        <siege_gear_required_for_city_level string = "huge_city"/>
        <siege_gear_required_for_castle_level string = "moat_and_bailey"/>
        <no_towers_only_for_city_level string = "huge_city"/>
        <no_towers_only_for_castle_level string = "moat_and_bailey"/>
        <min_turn_keep_rebel_garrison int = "999"/>
        <destroy_empty_forts bool = "false"/>
        <can_build_forts bool = "true"/>
        <fort_fortification_level string = "1"/>
        <games_races_cost_modifier float = "0.25"/><!--games and races cost modifier -->
    </settlement>

Change the line in red to:
<destroy_empty_forts bool = "true"/>
Then save your changes.

This should remove the fort if it has no garrison. I have not tried this in a campaign so I cannot tell you how long it takes for the fort to be removed or if this is save game compatible.

Hope this helps you.
