    Default Borders Question

    Is it possible to disable borders so that they will not be shown in the map of SS?
    For example if I'm playing as the Mongols I want all my territory to be yellow and not divided by black borders.
    For example EB does that in RTW. Can I do this manually?

    Yes. Open up descr_sm_factions.txt in the SS6.3\data folder. Each faction has an entry here. You'll see a line for the primary faction colour and the secondary faction colour. The 3 numbers in the lines are RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. Copy and paste the values for the primary colour over the values for the secondary colour.

    Thanks a lot Caesar Clivus.
    Looks like a new game now. Surprising how you may achieve that with such small changes.

    That was exactly what I was looking for right now! modded it myself about 5 minutes ago, what a coincidence...
    Cassius: "Our men at arms have secured the city. We've received representatives from all the best elements. The senate is with us, the knights are with us."
    Brutus:"The pontifs, the urban cohorts, the lictors guild..."
    Antony: "Oh, the lictors guild, very good. Only rally the bakers and the flute players and you can put on a festival."

    Get the no-borders submod by Romy. I guess it was for RR/RC only.

    You can't use that if using a different version as descr_sm_factions.txt is a core file that varies mod wise.

    This one i did for myself. 6.3 Fixes 4.2 early campaign. If You like it You can copy the colours to the sm factions file of Your choice. Fits if possible the colours of Y2days Banners and reflects my preference. (Belongs to the data folder and will be overwritten if You run the setup.exe again)
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Looks like Aragon and HRE have the same colours - You see a difference if they share a border.

    When doing this, keep in mind that it won't work for black factions, like the HRE. If both primary and secondary color are set to black, it'll appear invisible on the mini-map when it's inside the Fog of War.

    Thatīs why only the Rebels are black in my variation - with white borders. Khwarezm could be hard to see too - but they will be replaced by mongols by the time. In that example Sicily is bright enough to be fully visible.
