Ireland?

[EsKimoe]

Can you play as Ireland in the latest version? I know it's removed, but can you like mod it back in?




Thanks in advance

You can't play as Ireland in the latest release.

And yes you could mod it back in, although it pains me to say it Ireland was pretty in useless in 6.1.

I see, thanks. Thought mounted calivermen were fun to play with in vanilla.

You can mod them back in. I even think it shouldn`t be that hard, considering SS has free faction slots, and you can just copy almost everything you need from vanilla...

But there's the unit limit no? So that means I have to get rid of some units?

Its fairly easy to get rid of around 10-15 units and thats more than enough for your purpose.Also you'd still have the lazy Ai problem which can only be fixed by doing some map editing and makin a land bridge from the North to Scotland.

Ok, thanks. Might start an Ireland campaign if that works.

No, you might CREATE am Ireland campaign.
And I, for one, would be grateful to you for it

There is more work than just adding the faction and units. You have to edit the descr_strat, numerous text files, trait files, UI files, UI graphics, campaign scripts, descr_regions, victory conditions, unit sounds file, AI files and most likely others I've forgotten. Not trying to discourage you, just making sure you realise what is needed to add a faction completely. There are tutorials in the Mod Workshop with details.

Well I'll try to do that, but if that fails I'm just gonna be lazy an patch it to 6.1 :p

[Caesar Clivus]

Well you can have 6.1 and 6.4 installed at the same time and play either of them whenever you want. They install in different folders.
