Choose WHERE the Mongols/Timirids arrive

[BenMansbridge]

Hi all,

So for the third time in a row the Mongols have arrived in Russia for me and I always find invading Russia slow as is.
Is there a mod or quick fix where you can make the hordes ALWAYS arrive in the Egypt/Turkey area.

Thanks in advance!

It will require some small changes in the script file. Open the campaign_script file (in ...\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign folder) with Notepad and look for this section:

            add_events
        ;;; SCOUTING INVASION
                event    emergent_faction    mongols
                date    0
;                 region     Tbilisi_Province
                region     Yerevan_Province
                region    Bulgar_Province
                region    Sarkel_Province
                region     Baghdad_Province
                movie    event/mongols_invade.bik
                ;ADD MONGOL INVASION 1
                event    counter    mongols_invasion
                date    2
            end_add_events

Blue are the possible spawn regions, simply put a semi colon in front of the line (like with Tbilisi) where you do not want the spawn. Save, play a new campaign.

Brill! Cheers mate will pop that in now. Do I put the colon in front of 'Region' or in front of the actual settlement name?
Thanks again,

[BenMansbridge]

Ah, I see now! Nm, thanks a lot!

One is glad to be of service

Hello, I am making modifications to play with the Mongols in a perfect and historical way, the game starts in 1223 with jebe and subotai, I have already arranged the disproportionate troops (the Mongols almost always fought with fewer men and not more), I already did religion, the scripts all to play right, but I wanted the Mongolian event to be just batu khan appearing in volga / bugar, in 1235, I am having difficulty with that, because I do not understand the scripts well and or several troops appear in several years, or batu does not appear in 1235 (this I already managed to do), would you know what I could do to remove all these other troops and leave only that of batu?

What I already managed to do, with batu appearing in 1235 is like this:
