I love the Total War series, and its really fun, but I've always hated the lack of statistics the game seemed to have. Like, I want to be able to look at my game and see a list of all my kings and see their stats - who gained the most territory, who got the most money, who was the most and least pious, stuff like that. The regular version of Total War doesn't keep track of this stuff, especially across games (like, if I played 10 full games, who was the greatest King/General/Governor out of all of them, what the stats on each of my empires were, etc).

I always feel like when my King dies, it doesn't mean much, since he won't go down in history or anything, and I won't remember anything about him. I'd love to be able to see a list of kings in a historical way, like we can read a list from Augustus to Claudius and know what happened in each reign. It really ties history together, and TW seems to lack this.

Anyone know of a mod which will keep track of this kind of stuff? I'm a newb, so I'm sorry if this is a boring or oft-repeated question.

No mod like that is possible.

Really? That stinks. Seems like a 3rd party program of sorts would be able to pull those kind of numbers out of the game, though.

Well actually you could write some data into the log with a script, like when you gained a territory. The problem is you can't even log names...

Surely there must be something 3rd party that can be generated. Ive always wanted to know total #s of men lost and killed in battles combined and total # of empire population without having to spam a calculator. If people can generate 3rd party programs to track WoW in game stats im sure it can be done here, we just arent thinking outside the box

Well if you're good at that kind of stuff, nobody's stopping you.
Don't run around demanding that somebody is to spend countless hours trying to decipher the messy MTW2 memory though.

You could track number of victories for family members using traits. Problem is there's no way to access the info once the character dies.

Is it possible to log character trait stats (number of points in a hidden "victories" trait) through scripting?

No, you can log it in the script and use counters, but you won't get the character name unless you make a monitor for each name...

The only way I could see that this might be possible would be with a program to decode the kills/losses etc from a screenshot of the end battle screen; but I don't even know if programs exist to do this :(

I've always wanted something like this too :grin2:

Ugh nah, the proper way would be to fish the stuff out of the memory...
