vanilla crusade:How to have a faction King in battle map

**HELLEKIN** · January 15, 2012, 05:47 PM

hello against all the opinions my mooding game still is vanilla,many features can´t be done(scripting) and there are many limitations that´s why i´m always hearing to leave vanilla for kingdoms

...thats why i´m going to launch a vanilla crusade

....starting from this....i tried to have a faction king(leader) in battle map in my mood,Ishan made a very good tutorial and i tried out but....it was for kingdoms,but in my vanilla i changed the saxon faction for Navarra faction and i have the king in battles.....how can i haven´t the same feature in the others factions?So...my question is...how can i do that?how can i have a faction king in battles copying the procedure to all factions in vanilla like the saxons,i guess it has to be from a script

because adding a king unit don´t make sense....and i tried

...that´s why i came here in scripting....how can i make the same thing for all VANILLA factions that goes with saxons(in my case Navarra)

have a king on battle map,on foot or horse?Many thanks in advance and...long live to vanilla

If you look in the battle_models file you will find this little gem, your Navarra faction is now using everything the Saxons had, including the Saxon king model.

As long as your early_general_por.texture fits the saxon model it should be alright. You will need to change the descr_character.txt file to match this saxon king entry highlighted in red.

faction saxons
dictionary 2
strat_model northern_general
battle_model Saxon_King
battle_equip gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

Then all Saxon generals will look like the "Saxon King"

yep you're right.

Ishan's tutorial should help him out there then.

**Emperor of Hell** · January 19, 2012, 02:27 PM

yep, but we already told him that it won't work without kingdoms

hello guys and many thanks for the reply and help

....during the time i came here(many years) i saw many times you guys solve many almost unsolved questions from people like me that is still learning

,that´s why i insisted because you guys have a great knowledge of the game and mooding, and could have a idea how to solve this...i guess it is one more limitation of vanilla,many thanks to all that tryed to help and sorry my persistence but a crusade is a crusade
