Selecting the heir

[jtareb]

Is there a way to make this available in the high age scenario?

If I understand it correctly the High age scenario is just the early scenario moved up to the 1230's so should it be as simple as just copying the campaign script to the high age custom file? I hesitate to do so to avoid screwing something up.


***edit***
Never mind..went ahead and pasted the campaign file into the custom High end campaign and its working fine so far.

This script is a hidden gem and would probably get more notice if you could sticky it at the top. Solves a lot of problems, especially with factions like Aragon that start with old kings and heirs.

Hey guys, I'm having some difficulty getting this to work in my own High Era Campaign (works fine in the Early one). Is it as simple as copying and pasting the following into the High_Era_Campaign campaign_script.txt in the same location as the imperial_campaign, or have I overlooked something?

Either way, I do suggest adding that file to the download if possible.

I'm in my first campaign and my previously son-less King has just given birth to a son, but his nephew remains the Faction Heir. I note this script is only compatible with a fresh campaign, but Lift has mentioned it would be included in the 'next' version of SSHIP.

Lift, since making that post in January, is it in the version I've downloaded (0.9.2) or do I need to manually download this now in case I start a new campaign between now and the new version of SSHIP coming out? And would installing these files now whilst continuing to play my current campaign affect my current campaign in any way?

[Jurand of Cracow]

I guess the new version will not come out before you finish your campaign.
The Next Heir parts are already included in the EDCT and EV I've published on the webpage, but the other files are not yet updated.

However, if you (or anybody in the next release) will use the Next Heir option, the whole system of usurper and civil wars won't work at all (the NH works through a big additional Authority buff so no usurper would get on the throne.

[berylthranox]

So is this not functional for the 0.9.6 version?

[Jurand of Cracow]

no, it's not.

High Era campaign has not been supported for years now and the Script will never work as intended. Early Campaign is the only playable one regarding events / scripts/ true SSHIP experience.

My bad, only now i realised that reply was from 2018 lol.

[reaper101]

I sincerely hope this works with regular Stainless Steel. Wish me luck!

EDIT: No. No, it does not.

[Jurand of Cracow]

This mod is included in the SSHIP v. 098, and it actually works. So let's close this thread.
