Extended Offices Mod

[Atraphoenix]

Just choose where your RTW is located most players put RTW C:/Program Files/Activision/Rome - Total War. mine is on D:/Program Files/Activision/Rome - Total War so just find your link for your total war folder .
not C:/Program Files/Activision/Rome - Total War/EB

to check whether my mod is installed or not just open EB folder then EB Data folder find export_descr_ancillaries.txt in EB Data folder.
open it then press ctrl+f write Atraphoenix if you see these lines :

;===============================================================

;Roman Provincial Government Triggers - EOM 4 by Atraphoenix
;===============================================================

you did it.
My last version EOM4 is an install.exe but the previous ones were manual copy paste. so do not mix them. If you like previous ones you have to copy paste them manually.


I hope it helps.

I do not know and I could not find anybody who can help me to add so I just added achaemenid titles as ı wanted to show them as successor to to them.
so if you know someone who knows Armenian and if he/she can tell me this title in Armenian it is easy to add.

I also did not put for carthage because I had same problem. If you decide to use achaemenid title
you can add Spahbed / Spahbod but it is a very long explanation. just copy parthian Eran Spahbed in descr_ancillaries and export_descr_ancillaries and changed the id by addin armaenian_ instaead of parthian_spahbed or if no parthian id just add armenian_spahbed / armenian_eran_spahbed
if you forget to change each id RTW crashes with 2 ANCİLLARY WİTH SAME NAME/ID

modding ancillaries is easy part, what we need is Armenian equivalence of Commander-in-Chief in ancient Armenia.

Have a question myself though.
I realized that I somehow lost my copy of V.T. Marvins 2.1 adaption of this mod and the links given in this topic seem dead. Does anyone still have that mod and would be so kind to reupload it?
Thanks in advance.

[Atraphoenix]

I have no copy of it you may PM V.T. Marvin, on the other hand he seems passive for a long time.

[postm00v]

Okay, thanks !
It seems I did everything as it should be.

Now for another question, why do the ancilliares trigger when you reach 50 settlements ?
It seems a bit much, but I could be wrong or missing some historic reason behind all this.

I roleplay when Marius was consul and if you reflect his reforms 90 settlements are too much. I have decreased EBBS script to 50 cities so both my marian reformed legions and their commanders are available.
Also later I have adapted RS legions as stated in my sig, so now I have named legions as well.

If you check this map, though may not be so accurate, 90 cities are reaaally too much if you apply it to EB map.

hi man, awesome add-on to the game, but what I felt is that there's some incomplete work here and there (specially romans) so i began to expand your work, adding new roman provinces to the game, but, what I've encountered is that I'm getting a non-message CTD, so I think I could ask your help, after all you better than anyone knows how your system works, so this is what I've done, what is basically copy-paste your triggers,ancillaries and so on and changing the name for the specific province, getting this:

what I've modified in the export_descr_ancillaries

Also, if correct me if I'm wrong, electability works only as a marker for the specific ancillary? having two electability numbers affects in some way the adquistion of the ancillaries? for example, you gave the governor_of_cyrenacia ancillary a electability of 26, so if I give my recently created "governor_of_illyricum" ancillary the same number, does this causes conflicts to the game?

thanks in advance for your help, and the great system you've created

looking foward your reply ;)

You had a good job on it, simply electability makes the game engine assign the FMs the stated ancillaries in order. You may omit them, I have followed the EB goverment system so I left it.

We have a good trait and ancillary verificator in tools sections that can be used both for Rome and Medieval2 that helped me greatly reducing script and missing errors.

So search for "ATVTW - Trait/Ancillary Validator of Sqυid"

Also I am sure that you are not using windows notepad.
