Modding Crusades back in

**-Myth-** · April 27, 2011, 06:03 AM

Hi guys. This mod seems perfect for a Hotseat game I want to start. (Details here on the .org) . The nature of the game is a contest between Catholic and Muslim factions which implies the use of both Cruades and Jihads. How can I mod the Crusade mechanic back into the KGCM? I do want the other changes of the hotseat patch, especially the rebalanced AR, starting positions and turn order. Thanks.

Not sure how Dave did it, but you may get some clues from this thread:
Crusade and Jihad

Another thread with some information that may help:
to make crusades, hording targets, and jihad

Hi Myth,

In the descr_sm_factions.txt I removed special faction type from the Papal States. I also removed papal stuff from the faction_standing text. The most sensible way to go about putting the Papal States back in would be to uninstall KGCM. Reinstall KGCM + 4.2 and save the files that I removed papal entries from. Now install the KGCM hotseat patch and put these files over the ones that I changed. You should now have a perfectly working pope. Also I increased the piety rating required for jihads in HS patch, so you need to replace the 3 AI files in the data folder as well. It was in one of those forgot which one.

Thank you Dave. Do I need to make some cities Crusadeable/Jihadable targets? It actually makes sense since there are objective cities that must be taken in order for either side to win.

Yeah, though I advise you to stick closely to the Crusade/Jihads targets in KGCM patch 4.2. If you add some new targets you will get Crusades called in odd places away from the the Holy lands mostly which isn't good.
