editing/getting early romani reforms for europa barbarorum 2??? is it possible????

[maximus2]

Hi, does anyone know how to sucessfully edit/ change reform times to your liking for romani faction. I tried editing the campaign scripts by reducing turn times to 85 turns to get polybian reforms, but nothing happens. i also removed settlement goals but that did not help either. if someone could help please as i dont want to wait so long as ive already conquered much of the map.

Changes to the campaign_script will only take effect with a new campaign, they are not savegame compatible.

[maximus2]

Cheers thanks alot, i will try that. one more question. How do you edit turn times for augustan reforms because there does not seem to be a turn time edit option, do i have to edit it in myself?

[QuintusSertorius]

There are no Augustan Reforms; and if there ever are some, it won't impact units.

[maximus2]

Ok thanks about the augustan reforms, eb1 had them so i thought it would be compulsory for eb2 but i guess its not the case. Anyway i did an experiment to test the reforms if they're working fine; i started a new campaign and i managed to get the polybian reforms to work after turn 4, so that's working fine. i tried to get marian reforms for turn 10 but they failed to show up. Do u have to edit the trait & settlement requirements to zero or something as i cant seem to get the marian reforms.

Here's the updated parts of the Roman script, including the updated unit refresh to counter the effect of the first reform zero-ing everything, a possible fix to the Carthaginian battle trigger for the Polybian reform, the correct region id's for the early Marian trigger and fixed typo on the Marian fallback.

thanks for the updated roman script. If i copy and paste the updated roman script u just posted does this mean all i have to do is edit/change the turn times and all the reforms will work?? or is there more editing i have to do myself??

[QuintusSertorius]

You'll only need to change the turn times, it should otherwise be working.

Note you'll need to start a new campaign for it to be applied, it won't work with an existing saved game.

Hi guys,

sorry but I am not an expert on scripts and about "codes" generally. So I would ask to you if you could please tell me simply how to get the Marian reform. Eventually, where I sould paste the " code " above. Anyway, I tried to go ahead with the campaign till turn 700 , but I never
reached the Marian reform (obiouvsly neither Augustan). Since I read you should have particular conditions like a leader with S/C/V and Latifundae in Greece, I am wondering how to do this given that I've never seen this option even id I have a lot of huge cities. Furthermore, I cannot recruit units in many settlements but boats , spies and assassins and they never improve or change as " roman coloniae". Help me plese if you can.

Thank you very much and sorry for my english.

The current script in 2.1b is doubly broken, unfortunately; the farms trigger has the wrong settlements, and the automatic trigger has a typo meaning it won't fire. If you replace the script with the one above, you need to start a new campaign for it to take effect. It won't work with a saved game.

Outside of Italy the only factional government that gives you any recruitment is the Civitas Libera - otherwise you're stuck with Allied Governments. After the Marian reform, the Provinciae gives recruitment.

Thank you very much, but I don't know where I should paste it, I mean the folder :( could you please tell it to me?

You need to download Notepad++.

Then edit the data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\campaign_script.txt -search for Roman Reforms and replace everything down to Augustan Reforms.

You are very kind but I foresee a disaster :) at most I will download + install it again, thank you again.

You'll have to wait for 2.2, then. Or someone kind enough to edit the 2.1b script with that in (I don't have it, I've only got the development build installed, which has a completely different script, now).

I cannot patch/modify it because it's in Program Files and I don't know how to move it in another folder as I am not a steam user. I should install MTW2 again but I missed the installation files and patches (including Kingdom) so it will be the last hope. Anyway I appreciated your help now everything is clearer :)

You need to reinstall the game, the patch won't work as long as it's in Program Files, nor will you be able to modify anything yourself.
