Rebels

[J@mes]

Hey everyone,

Does anybody know how to create a new rebel faction like the(pirates, brigands) and spawn them only in the eastern plains, I know you can edit the spawn rate in descr_strat but i don't know how to edit a few faction of rebel i know there is a tutrial on the internet somewhere but don't remember where.

also i'm having trouble given reputation points out the green cross does not appear under the users name (other them my self) i am running the rome shell on this forum.

Thanks James

You could adapt an existing rebel type to have the units you want, the units rebels spawn with (or produce in a revolt) are listed in descr_rebel_factions.txt eg:

rebel_type Latins //Empire_West
category peasant_revolt
chance 0
description Latins
unit western peasant
unit western peasant
unit merc veteranii
unit merc equites veteranii
unit generic rebel general

you can change one of the rebel_types to the units you want there and then change descr_regions.txt so that the provinces you want have that type of rebel. The type of rebel is the line under the default faction eg:

Caledonia
legion: Caledonica
Dal_Raida
celts
Pictii
111 111 0
slaves
5
5
pagan 90 christianity 10

If you want to change the name of the rebel that appears change the bit not in {} in data/text/rebel_faction_descr.txt eg:

{Latins} New rebels

(those examples are from BI)
Does that cover what you wanted to do?

also i'm having trouble given reputation points out the green cross does not appear under the users name (other them my self) i am running the rome shell on this forum.

ah, maybe you don't see button now until you have enough posts? Have a look in Q&S forum if you can't find answer there post a question about it. Btw we'll still help you anyway
