    Default Idea: In-battle peasant revolts

    Imagine this:

    You are assaulting an enemy city. The population of the city are unhappy, overtaxed and kept in line only by the dread of the evil governor and his army of brutal henchmen.

    You army, however, is led by a general of good reputation.

    As soon as the siege battle starts to swing in your favour, several bands of peasants, some armed with bows, and possibly even a few militia units, appear at the city square. They immediately rush to your aid, attacking the defending forces from behind, and eventually a mighty cheer heralds the liberation of the city from its oppressors.

    Most of the parameters for this situation are already in the game - chivalry, dread, tax levels, unrest level, battle odds, etc. but I do not know if it is possible to run scripts during the battle, and to generate reinforcements dynamically on the fly?

    If not, oh well, just throwing it out there for maybe inspiring someone to do something similar I hadn't thought of

    Who knows, there might be a designer from CA reading this thread

    And maybe, the designer could give us the source code! Thus allowing us to alter those nasty hard coded files.

    very nice idea to be implemented! dunno if it can be done but it would be very nice!
    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."

    Good idea. And how about implenting when taking back a town that the enemy has recently taken?

    Maybe we can get the source code off Wikileaks?

    One of these days ..

    So it is possible to change these hard coded files if there is a code or password or whatever it is?

    This idea is almost certainly impossible to implement, sorry.
    And unless TWC's or M2's ToS changes, one couldn't release a mod here using modified source code.

    Peasent revolt is not very often, rarely became a very real trat, on other hand, civil wars, war for crown and things like this happend very often. That can be implemented easy with rebels in bulgarian upraising fashion. Now things works in BGR or in very bad leader with no authority and offending nobility trait. This mean poor HRE. I think if all factions can get this civil revolt/civil wars in, maybe some blitzwars will became extinct and we can have a feeling dread and chilvary is not an answer for everything.

    Its all copy protected.

    Unless someone goes "we the creative assembly say here you go, im sure you'll buy our next game and this one isnt selling at all anymore so it doesnt matter about you having our secret code we dont use anymore and never intend to use again"
    "some people say the iraq war is unnessasary, however i disagree its good practise in case one comes along that we need to fight, just in case the germans have another go"-AL MURRAY
