[Knight of the Order]

I know this has been posted before but how do you play as Scotland?

what files do you edit?

Thanks

1. You either have to use one of the Mods that have already been made, or you have to create your own Mod.

2. If you want to spin your own and have never made one before, then I highly recommend you go to the following:

http://pub24.ezboard.com/fshoguntotalwarfrm5

and read the thread entitled "Modding MTW". Starting on page 2, is step-by-step instructions about how to create a new playable faction.

There are also lots of Mods as well as Modding instructions and hints on other boards at this site. I'm fairly sure an existing Mod is available, I just don't know the names of them.

I forgot to add, I have one which I'm currently testing, but it's in a setting a few hundred years prior to the Midieval times. If you are interested, eMail me and I'll give a full explanation.

to my knowledge all scotland mods have either failed or been abbandonned.

it takes a addon to get my nation but at least it will be official and i can get some MP games with them.

Well, I haven't tried my Mod as Scotland yet, but I have played it as the Italians, and I'm currently testing it as the Byz's. It has not yet crashed, and the AI did reasonably well with the Scots when I played the Italians.

The problem with using Scotland as a major faction, is which one do you chose to eliminate? It has an extremely difficult starting position, especially if you leave England in as a major faction.

eMail me if you would like to test my Mod by playing Scotland. It has 20 playable factions, including the Papists. I started with WesW's MedMod, so you have to install it first. I also need some help with the Names file, so if you really know Scottish names, I could use a lot of help there.
