Victory Conditions

[Daruwind]

Ok so for future generations. It is really easy.

For quick setup I used excellent mod http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile.../?id=308666552 (Hope the author won´t mind this ) with aim to add Rhodos some victory conditions...

Simply duplicate victory condition array,change name to particular faction and apply all the changes you want. In this case I just changed military victory conditions to be 111 instead of 85 settlements.
(Of course descriptions, chapters, secondary missions would require changes to mission.txt, local_en files...)
**Of course don´t forget to modify both locations for victory conditions as you want to changes selection screen and in-game conditions too.

Checking Rhodos is showing lower things

Update: Blackie42 has figured out that one needs to make the changes mentioned below to two sections of the startpos.esf, the startpos.esf. campaign_startpos\campaign_preopen_map_info and the campaign_startpos\compressed_data\campaign_preopen_map_info sections. The changes to both sections must be the same. So now that we know how to do this I hope some of you out there come up with some interesting campaigns for us to play through.

I really wanted victory conditions that were more manageable in terms of the time it took to complete a campaign. I simply don't have the time, nor the patience, to totally dominate the map, especially when playing the non-Roman factions. Here is a resource that shows where in the startpos.esf you can find the various victory conditions for the various factions. I expanded out the set for the Suebi faction as an example. As to the specific settings, some are simple, while others I haven't been able to figure out yet (which of the 6 specific provinces need to be controlled for example). So have fun using this to create your own set of unique victory conditions. Hopefully we'll see a lot of custom user-made victory conditions for us to download and play.

So I changed the victory conditions in both locations and saved the file, but I'm not sure why it isn't showing up in game. Do I need to make .pack, or did I simply not save it in the right place?... I'm a little lost

Extract stratpos.esf with pfm. Do your changes. Save it in .pack format and check it on the mod manager to work.

I can't seem to extract stratpos.esf with pfm.

Never mind I figured it out, thanks.

I have a question for more experienced people. I'm trying to change the "Hold X settlements" condition to "Control X settlements either by direct ownership or military allies...". So far I've discovered that "Hold x settlements" has a value 33 in startpos while the second one has a value of 23. But even if I change 33 to 23, in-game conditions don't reflect that. What am I doing wrong?

Just as useful as others,thanks.

After i have found out by myself, how to add victory conditions to made playable factions, i found this tutorial.

I will only add, that after adding victory conditions Autosave work for the made playable factions.
