Is it possible to create a sixth faction?

Users who are viewing this thread

I'm aware that there are mods that exist to replace one of the five existing factions, but I'm curious if it'd be possible to add in a sixth faction rather than replacing one. If it is possible, and I added a sixth for my own use in custom games with friends, would they need my files of the Napoleonic Wars too or would they be fine as long as I hosted the server? Or would this process require something completely more far-out then my speculations?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

(P.S. I'm sorry if this is some sort of noob question, I'm not exactly too well versed with modding this game as of yet though I'm not completely without knowledge.)
 
It is theoretically possible to create a new faction, however no mod (as of yet) has been able to do it. The amount of effort needed to create a faction is massive. You would essentially be creating your own module, so it would not be compatible with vanilla NW.
 
Thanks for the reply. I got the Napoleonic Wars source yesterday at some point before I saw your reply and figured that out the hard way, after spending around three hours plugging things in before I was just like, "This is gonna take awhile..."

Oh well. Maybe one day.
 
Yeah, the list of stuff that would need to be added is massive XD

You'd need to add the troop separators (the code that separates troops between infantry, cavalry, and specialists), the AI counterparts and which AI their associated with, the officer counterparts for AI commander battles, the rank stuff related to buffs, the voices need to be added...

If you were creating a new mod based on NW from scratch it might be worth looking into, but not really adding to NW because of the compatibility with vanilla
 
I you can give money to FSE, they will create whatever you like.
Are  you prepared to PAY for a sixth faction?    :mrgreen:
 
Well, don't worry at all. Just wait for the mod L'Aigle, which is in my opinion, going to be waaaay better than Napoleonic Wars, also it will have lot's more factions.
