Has the faction limit been raised?

[Tyr]

Im looking forward to Medieval 2, but havenot been following that closely (havent even played the demo yet), so sorry if this is allready known.

Has CA raised the hardcoded faction limit? I heard rumours a while back but nothing definite, anything morte recent?

[NimChief]

They better ****ing have.

[nightwar]

Honestly Doubt it or we wouldve heard about it already...

[big bad badger]

21 factions isn't enough?!

[Tyr]

21 factions isn't enough?!

Well, no, i dont think it is enough; there are more factions i can think of that could go in M2TW, and 21 factions is defintley not enough for the Roman Era. Extra factions would be a great bonus for mods as well; imagine the new factions EB2 or Ortus Romani could have.

Hell no! also i love to see more units slot's. its actually 20 factions 1 is the rebels. You have any idea how many country's/cultures there was in europe/middle east back then? more than 19! -1 more for aztecs)

MTW XL had 30 odd, and could have used a few more slots...

It seems like the faction limit has been raised to 30, definately good news.

Where have you heard that from ??
Because as far as I know CA never said it.

It has been mentioned in a lot of threads, from modders who had a look the the various text files in the demo. I'll have a look and update this post with a link soon.

The number of factions is unknown, as Ca did release the list of 21 factions soon after M2Tw was announced, but then they said they might increase it to 30, and some findings in articles seem to point ot the fact they ar eincluding a few new factions.

Hmm they maybe increase the hardcoded limit to 30, thats what I have read on fans request. Not 30 faction itself in the game.

From here
That's not the thread I meant, though. In the thread which I was reffering to, some guy even posted a part of a text file which he had unpacked. I'll continue looking for that thread...

Anyway, there are more and more rumours that there will be a 30 faction limit, and I hope that they are true...

Isn't it true though the more factions there are, the harder the AI finds it to balance them properly and expand realistically? Can too many be a bad thing?

[Lusted]

There are 22 in the game, so the ai should cope fine with it, i just believe the faction limit has been increased to 30 so modders can add in extra factions.

[Black Francis]

I really hope there are more faction slots, 30 would be great... I remember all the trouble with RTR and the lack of slots and trying to decide what factions to include, especially in the east.

[The Mongol]

I'm sticking with 22 until CA says something about it. I don't think they raised it which is too bad but meh, it won't matter in the long run for me.

[Rex Armeniae]

I hope they have reaised it to 30..... I really hope!!!

[Methoz]

but 30 faction is possible - why not?

[Spart]

30 slots would be just awesome! Bohemia, Lithuania, Aragonia, Castille, Leon etc..
I quess no one really knows why the limit should be set to specific number, like 21.. Or do you? Well, lets just hope.
