How would I be able to play as the Mongols

[Wheatley]

Hey, this is for all of you modders out there that know how to do this. Is it possible to edit the game so that I could play as the Mongols as soon as they start in the High period with that huge army of theirs? I really wanted to conquer large portions of Russia, the Middle East and Europe by myself rather than editing the Late period to play as them with the Empire already created. Anyone know?

It's possible to edit the starting date of the High era to be about 1221 (the actual invasion date) and put the Mongols in control of Khazar and whatever else you want, then setting the faction from MINOR to MAJOR

Because I was bored, here you go.

Just unzip into your campmap\startpos\ folder. Please note that I havent tested it, so I doubt it'll work like one planned. Give it a try though

Wow, thanks. I will try that out now.

It didn't work. When I put it in there, I tried to play but High and Late period disappeared at the Period selection screen.

Hi. i jsut did a quick test to c if I could play Golden Horde in the late period.

I just changed Golden horde to major and made the argonese a minor faction.Im not sure if there is a limit to how many factions can be major so i just randomly choose argonees to make minor.

The followin text is found about halr way down the page in the late text

You could also extend the end date bye typing


SetGameEndDate:: xxxx


were xxxx equals the date you want to finish.You could put this near the top in the date section.
