I'm guessing it would be impossible to make lords from other factions join your faction without the mod tools.  What about adding new lords to the game?

[Sir Crapalot]

Thanks alot for this. Great work handyman.

Are you tired of merchants who can't afford to buy the goods/loot you worked so hard for?  Here's how to change the amount of denars merchants have to spend.

Once a day the game compares the amount of money that a merchant has with a set figure in the code, and if the merchant has less than that it selects a random number between two other figures and gives that to the merchant.  The code that controls this is at the top of triggers.txt.

First we have Goods Merchants, then Armourers, Weaponsmiths, and lastly Horse Merchants.  Let's start with the goods merchants and change the first red number (1500) to something higher than we would ever need, I'll use 50000 since there's no harm in going a bit overboard.  We also want to change the random number range so it won't take too long before the merchants are swimming in cash, I'm going to use 10000-20000 so just replace the red 500 1000 with 10000 20000 and in just a few days every goods merchant will have 50000-70000 denars to spend on your goods.  Just repeat the process with the other merchant types and you'll never have any trouble finding a buyer for your best loot again.

Would it be possible to add a "Give all" Button to the Garrison Troop Menu (and the Ransom Broker Menu as well)?
It´s a pain in the ass if you want to change your army from all-cavallry to all-infantry (clicking 150 times to take my huscarls out of the garrison takes alot of time...).
 

[kcac]

lol, there is actually a garrison all button. All you have to do is press control and click give to garrison them all at once.

[Bommel]

Well there is still no Give All Button then.

But thx for telling me the Ctrl+left click option. I didn´t know this worked with this button, I only used it for selling/buying stuff... 

[makute]

How could I modify the rewards from the Challenge (lord) to a Trial of Arms Lady's quest? It's not fair nor realistic that, after completing the quest, accepting the reward gives you exp. and money, and not accepting it gives you the same exp. and money AND honour.

no worries  . But i always lag out during this lol... too many troops due to modifying 

[CatalystDestiny]

Hey MageLord, I have 2 script requests if possible.

1. Is it possible to script change the amount of troops towns get as defenders (Dhirim and what not), and maybe even castles?

2. Is there any scripting that can be modded to change how often the various weather effects happen? (In either/both the world map, and for the individual battlefields themselves.)

Thanks in advance if you could find out if either are possible to mod at this point.

[Pongo]

Here is a petty request.
When I allow a lord to be ransomed, I want all of the relations I lost with him by capturing him to be restored. It really sucks that if you take them captive your country gets allmost none of the lords that are available when country is defeated.

Hehehe, I was just imagining this happening in the medieval ages.

You: "So, uh, I'm ransoming you off as a slave, and your faction has agreed to pay me for your life, so, as I've treated like dirt and as a slave and prisoner, we're cool now?"

Lord: "Yeah, we cool."

Lol, imagining that situation made me laugh a bit

What your descirbing has nothing to do with how gentry and nobility were treated when they were ransomed. Just saying.
They were treated very well normally.
Taking an enemy captive for ransom would be the default expected behavior and would probably not have any negative impact on your relations. It was the expected behavior on all sides. The concept was even enshrined in their tournements, were you might have to ransome your armour.
This game makes it out like something only a scoundrel would do. A scoundrel would kill you not take you captive.

Yeah except when you factor in this is a game, where your two primary sources of income, are blatant and open market slavery, and the mass genocide of looters and sea raiders, modesty tends to go flying right out of the window lol...

Honor lost for refusal to ransom lords is in menus.txt, search for

1 2 936748722493063326 -1

The -1 is the amount of honor to subtract. It's only 1 honor lost by default.

I was poking around, and I was wondering: is this number how much your relation drops if you decline to ransom a lord?

-4 1 2 936748722493063326 -1

Also, in conversations.txt there is a -10 under "dlga_defeat_lord_answer (blah blah blah) You_are_my_prisoner_now". I think this is the impact to your relationship for taking a lord prisoner. Am I right? If I'm right about both of them, do you think there is side effects to boosting the former and lowering the latter? I personally feel that lords should expect to be taken prisoner (its just how things were done back then), and the player should only have a major relation drop if they refuse to ransom a captured lord.

Both are just realistic for the times reflected. But nothing to do with my request.
