What triggers faction emergence?

[HalfThere]

See topic title.

[Niccolo Machiavelli]

depends - the romano-british are triggered by the WRE losing control over both their british provinces, the slavs are triggered by a certain date, the ostrogoths are triggered by any rebellion occuring in a goth province (just like the WRE and ERE rebels)...

[Slimshoom]

does the faction emerging hafta happen, i mean if the WRE doesnt lose all its provinces in Britian, will the Romano-British never show up?

[Sétanta]

only the Slavs have to happen

the other ones dont happen all the time
particularly if its your own faction (WRE or Goths) and you are good at the game

yes
same for ostrogoths and roman rebels : if no rebellion of the romans/goths cities happens, they won't emerge.
The slavs come in 410.

Hmm weird, when romans rebbeled on both the cities on the island, they where still green:S

I get that as well, instead of a romano british faction i just get WR rebels. Does anyone else get this, cos everyone always says that they grt R-B, but i dont.

[Slimshoom]

because the WRE or WR rebels hafta lose all their cities on the island for a huge Romano-British army to appear

[Habelo]

yeah, and that wasnt what i said?

[SovietDoom]

They have to lose them to another faction, like the Celts or Saxons.

[Shaun]

So what about the Slavs? i know that they emerge in 410, but what else needs to happen for them to emerge?

[Habelo]

nothing?

ramano-british dont turn up if the cities are under any roman control so ere, wre, wrr and err can have britan without the british showin up

[nee]

the romano british factino emerges only as an army, and must conquer the british cities. its like a horde, only it doesnt have that wheel icon and is just one full stack. in my game they didnt even last a decade agains the celtic garrison at londinium. didnt even gain a city

The Romano-British emergence is hardcoded and cannot be modded too much. One can remove the hidden resource britain from Britannia_Inferior and Britannia_Superior in descr_regions.txt, which would stop Romano-British from showing up, but that's all that can be done.

The other factions can be modded to show up like the Slavs. All one needs to do is to give them hording ability and modify the descr_strat.txt, descr_sm_faction.txt, historic_events.txt and descr_events.txt. Without hording ability, the faction dies as soon as it emerges because only the Romano-Brits have the hardcoded ability to stay alive for several turns without owning any city.
