FD Giving and taking

[QuintusSertorius]

Good point, though it's usually easier to just use move_character to clear out the old garrison, rather than attacking them.

True, much easier, I will do that in the future, although in the case of an especially strong faction the campaign map would at times be more balanced without those armies.
By the way, now that we are talking about FD I´ve also used, with mixed luck, the mini mod to force peace between two contenders by forcing protectorates on both of them, causing them to halt their quarrel, then breaking the alliances. A relog would seem a good idea then, to reset any standing orders, and given the right circumstances it can maintain a lasting peace. Although most often the aggressive AI reacts just as we have come to expect, and war begins anew.

How do you move characters again? It confuses me lol...i get the bit about using the old names for the factions (eg. Selecids are Romani and so on) but i've never got the move character thing to work..am i doing it wrong?

1) Open the console with the ` or ' or ~ key.
2) Type: show_cursorstat - to get your x,y co-ordinates
3) Type: move_character "[firstname lastname]" x,y - to move the character to the co-ords given to you above

On naming; when they're not as they appear, open the Data\text\names.txt to do a lookup on the internal name. For example many single-named Qarthdastim FMs have the lastname "ofcarthago".

Those with three names are "firstname secondnamethirdname". Romans are all "firstname Romanvs".
