Arduino,

There is no such entity as "THE Scottish mod creators"

Many people have created many mod's, and I'm sure several individuals will be able to help you with your problem ...

... if you tell us what your problem is

[Arduino]

Thank you for your replay Wellington.
My questions are :

1) I use the swiss for Genoa and the Burgundy for Pisa. My mod starts in the Early age.
Can I use the swiss or they must appear as minor faction later ?

2) The swiss haver german names and the Burgundy has French names. I need italian names for both. I have tried to work on the names file but ...if I change French or German names they will all changed.
Is there a command or a file that assign a certain kind of names to a faction ? How can I mod it giving the Burgundy and Swiss Italian names ?

3) The swiss appear on map with the armored pikeman unit instead a royal knights unit.
How can give to the swiss king and princes a royal knights unit ?

That to start

thank you for you patient and your answers

Don't use the Swiss as you may have some problems later on (read the stickied thread on "Script files").

Also if you use the Swiss and change there names to Itlaian this will also change the German_HRE faction names to Italian (because they share the same table of names)

You have to change the file "Names.txt" in the folder "\Total War\Medieval - Total War\Loc\Eng"

Look for the fornames/surnames for the faction you wish to use as Italians. For Example, if you wish to use the Danish factions as Italians, the Danish surnames are -

["Forkbeard"] {"Forkbeard"}
["Bluetooth"] {"Bluetooth"}
["Skotkonung"] {"Skotkonung"}
["Haraldsson"] {"Haraldsson"}
....

Change the SECOND entry to be an Italian name -

["Forkbeard"] {"Macchiavelli"}
["Bluetooth"] {"de’ Medici"}
["Skotkonung"] {"Piccolomini"}
["Haraldsson"] {"Borgia"}
...

A lot to change Make sure you change the Surnames AND the Fornames.

You have to edit Crusader_unit_prod11.txt to do this (use GnomeEditor).

Check the line 'SwissArmouredPikemen'. On that line there is a column (Faction Leader) that says "SWISS". This means that this unit be used for this factions general. Remove this "SWISS" entry and make it spaces.

Check the 3 lines 'EarlyRoyalKnights, HighRoyalKnights and LateRoyalKnights'. On these lines the column (Faction Leader) says "ENGLISH,FRENCH,GERMAN_HRE .....". Add "SWISS" to each of these 3 lines - (eg "SWISS,ENGLISH,FRENCH,GERMAN_HRE ....). This will then use RoyalsKnights for the Swiss faction.

I've been trying to give the Aragonese Alumghavars as the king's unit but this doesnt work. I dont see a coulmn in the crusaders_unit_prod11.txt file that is labeled "Faction Leader" I completely removed the aragonese from all 3 the royal knights lines (both sides - ya know how it says ("ENGLISH, FRENCH...") ("ENGLISH, FRENCH...")) I put Aragonese once in the Alumghavars line replacing ALL_FACTIONS with Aragonese. This just makes the kings unit highland clansmen. What have I done wrong?

[Knight_Yellow]

well phalanx i think has a scottish mod names colours and all, he was going to test it and release it as few weeks ago but i aint heard bugger all from him since then

Have you also changed the 'General candidate' column from DISCOURAGED to PREFERED?

You have put aragonese in the wrong column. You need it in column 49 rather than column 50. The ALL_FACTIONS label is which factions can build almughavars.

[alman9898]

well, i tried those tactics, didnt work, put it back to what i had still dont work. i just get some bullshit error in column 2 row 113 (which i didnt edit-i counted) it says unknown unit type and after the column/row crap it says 10. this is really ticking me off because I spent 40 minutes giving other factions different units.

[Swoosh So]

Always backup your work

[Arduino]

OK second round of questions

I will change back the Swiss in Swiss, and this skip the change of units problem.


1) What about Burgundy ? They will appear too in the future and give me problems too ?

I read in a post that should be a mod to add more faction to the game and bring the total number from 18 to 20

2) Is it true ? Where can I download it ? Is it stable or it is only a source of crashes ?

The names I thank you for the suggestion about the names but i read in other posts about Scottish mod that it doesn 't work in the way i desire. As you told if I change the French or the german names to Italian all the factions that use them will be changed.

3) Do you know a way to change only the names of a sinlge faction without mod the others ?


Thank you to be so patient to answer my questions

I used Burgendy for a Scottish faction (some time ago) and I had no problems. I think you'll be ok using them for an Italian state - providing they are defined as a MAJOR faction.

There are a few in the downloads area. If you can't find one send me an E_mail and I'll send you an Early.txt that has all factions defined as MAJOR (playable).

3) Do you know a way to change only the names of a sinlge faction without mod the others ?

Yes and No. It depends on what faction your using/changing.

The names tables (in names.txt) are not just 1 table for 1 faction. Some are, but others are used by 2 factions. Therefore if you change them it will chnage the names for 2 factions.

For example -

FN_ENGLISH - 1 name table for 1 faction
FN_ITALIAN - 1 name table for 1 faction
ID_EGYPTIAN - 1 name table for 1 faction
FN_DANISH - 1 name table for 1 faction ....

but others -

FN_RUSSIA/FN_NOVGORAD - 1 name table for 2 factions
FN_SWISS/FN_GERMAN_HRE - 1 name table for 2 factions
FN_FRENCH/FN_BURGENDY - 1 name table for 2 factions ...

You cannot create 2 tables for these last ones (eg 1 name table for FN_FRENCH and a different one for FN_BURGENDY). It does'nt work like that.

Just choose which factions yopu want to represent your Italian States carefully

Hi more questions
I have download an Early mod with 20 factions. The 2 additional should be Russia and the Golden Horde.I alredy know that I should be able to use Burgundy quite safetely. I don't think I can use the Horde to get a new Italian faction.
1) Can I use Russia or I could have problems ?

I made a lot of other changes in my mod regarding territories ownership, units deploy and so on.

2) How should I work to use the 20 faction mod ? It is better to move my modification to the 20 faction mode or to move the factions part to my mod ? Or are wrong both solutions ?

Thanks again
