How can one edit the victory conditions?

[Geoffrey of Villehardouin]

I sometimes fancy changing the victory conditions for a slightly different or shorter campaign. I have the impression that editing the descr_win_conditions.txt file in the data/text folder only changes the text in the campaign selection screen, not the actual victory conditions of the game. What then does one need to edit?

The descr_win_conditions.txt is in data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign and it should change the victory conditions.

Sorry for the wrong directory structure, yes that file. And yes, I saw you were right, thanks, that was helpful.

But presumably this cannot be done mid-campaign?

No, I don't think it is save-game compatible.

Confirmation. IT IS NOT SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE

A thing not very common but very powerful in wrong hands: via script.

console_command victory [faction_name]

This allows you to virtually change victory conditions in game by calling the victory for a faction after they reached some ahiviements.
