I think it is not possible

The way it worked in RTW/BI was that if a player played a faction that was horde enabled and if they had only one settlement left then in that settlements settlement screen the button would appear, but it wouldn't be there otherwise.

sorry for taking so long to reply to my own thread.

but yes i realise that you couldn't do it unless you were on one city. but i noticed that a submod for third age had enabled it (i think barons but i could be wrong) and i was wondering how he managed it

There isn't a horde button. A faction changed into a horde when they have 0 settlements left.

in barbarian total war there was a button a human player could press to horde and just from screenshots it looked like baron samedi had it in his third age mod

Go check it out properly to find out, or ask him I suppose.

I've played it. There is no such button.

I have a related question that may be of relevance. Can there be some possible code and mechanism that would create hordes every so often? I am not thinking of the Mongols, I would rather like to see large armies from the factions you are at war with. Maybe the Mongols could be edited to become Franks or Turks or whatever?

You want to spawn a stack every once in a while? That can be done by scripting.

**Geoffrey of Villehardouin** · February 21, 2012, 01:13 PM

I can generate single enemy stacks with a cheat. But I would sometimes like 2-4 stacks generated at an unexpected time that move along together, like a Mongol Horde.

Ok there seems to be a horde code in descr_sm_factions and descr_campaign_db. Is there an accessible (I mean easy) tutorial on editing that code?

And would such edited code be save game compatible (would adding hordes in the code take effect in an ongoing campaign)?
