Danish Crusades

[Loki]

Hello fellow Denizens

I'm one of the new kids on the block and I have what must be a very simple question for you crack modders. I have done searches and read FAQ's posted here and found bits and pieces of the answer but not everything I need. I fear going off half cocked and messing up my schizzle so hence my post. OK here's the nizzle.

My system,

XP Pro (not sure if that matters)
METW-VI latest patch
Medieval mod IV v3 for M:TW v2.01, 4 VI

My Goal,

I love playing the Danes, and would love to mod the faction to allow them to crusade. From what I've gleaned it shouldn't be too hard to do. Also I've read that you could simply turn "on" the ability to crusade, or go so far as to grant access to "crusader units" as well. I am not interested in the latter, only the former.

If someone could take a moment and give me a hit list of what to do that would be great I'm very PC literate so you don't have to go into too much gory detail about "how" to actually edit the files.

Thanks in Advance All
Keep up the good work you Mad Modders
Loki

I think to enable them to crusade, all you have to do is enable the chapterhouse building for the danes in the CRUSADER_BUILD_PROD13.TXT file in your MTW root using gnome editor preferably.

it's in ROW 31 Column 20 just add FN_DANISH to the list with appropriate spacing.

Then in the CRUSADER_UNITS_PROD11.TXT you should enable a knight (I used the templars) for the Danes by changing the faction availability column. Repeat for other units. Otherwise you might get only fanatics.

In the rebellion possibilities column, you may also want to make units like vikings or Huscarles appear in crusades by setting it to say CRUSADE(-10).

KATANK,

Thanks for the help. I just tried it however and no joy. still cant build a chapter house. I used the GNOME editor and edited the file exactly as specified using the correct syntax. I know the file saved correctly because I checked the date. Game stil works perfectly but still cant build chapter houses...

Anyone...... Anyone...... Buehler?

This is the proper method to allow Danes to go on crusades so I can only think that you must have done something not quite correctly.

Silly question but you have tested re-starting the campaign from scratch ?

Cheers

thats correct. I did this to enable crusade as the papcy. but didnt enable a horse unit and got stuck with a 5 star fanatic. lmao.
