Changing Hero Lord's Army FactioN?

[Kabalon]

Hey there!

Just made two of my Heros lords and well they appear with their armys in my campaign...sadly one of em has a swadian faction army and the other kerghit... I prefer Nord so is there a way to change it?

greets Kabal!

Edit: well both of them have Swadish Units - could be cause I conquered swadish castle and villages? So isnt there any way to change but giving them Nord Castles?

Well, you should be able to change your faction type with your constable.

 

[Kabalon]

my constable? You mean my Head Minister I choosed at the start of my own faction? Well didnt saw any option there

 

[Caba`drin]

No, he didn't mean your minister. He means one of the various aides that you can hire via some of the features of Diplomacy.

Specifically, the Chancellor is the one who controls your faction's culture, as well as your various domestic policies. The Constable takes care of recruitment and training. The Chamberlain does gifts and treasury.

 

[Kabalon]

hmm - never realisied those guys

where can I recruit those? When I call my minister for staff he or I say I already have all - these both - the financial and the army guy...where to find the other guys?

 

[Caba`drin]

You hire them with your minister and they show up in your hall.
If you don't see them standing there, try to fire them through the minister and them hire them again.

Make sure your minister is either your wife or one of the hero companions--NOT the "local nobleman".

 

[rbcarter101]

That was my bad... I keep mixing up the different titles of the guys you can hire...

Well ur talking bout the two Chamberlains right? The one caring bout treasury and the one bout troops n stuff...but none of these two are able to change to Faction of your kingdom I presume...didnt found the option there tho

 

[Maltise]

Ive run into the same issue, but i cant seem to find any option, to change in the take actions/mods/prefrencies menus, and neither if the ministers have the option as well.

Its not the worst problem in the world but i like unit uniformity.

 

[Kabalon]

I think I reaslised the problem now...

What the guys above didnt mentioned was that u need to own a TOWN to get a chancellor...after 3 weeks ingame the option to add one will appear... so no wonder I didnt found one

 

[Kawee]

Mine still doesn't work. I keep asking to change my faction to Rhodok, but it remains Swadia, and my capital is Veluca!

So now I'm stuck using a faction, I didn't set out my role-play character to be.

 

[Kabalon]

yea same for me ...just conquered Halmar and now I changed to Nord faction...daily recruiting still adds Swadian units hm

 

[Caba`drin]

Which recruitment option are you using that isn't following your instructions?
Is it the option from the town/castle menu?

Changing your kingdom's faction via the Chancellor is a Diplomacy feature, with the primary function of setting what troop-types your Vassals/Lords recruit. The town/castle recruitment menu is a Custom Commander feature. Very likely, they've never been tied into one another at all.

 

[Kabalon]

ah okey...

Well my Lords already have swadian units and after I told the Chancellor to change to Nords they're still swadian - didnt watched if the new units they recruit will be Nord tho.

But I'm talking bout the Castle / Town recruting...well were to change Faction therefore if not by the Chancellor?

 

[Kabalon]

nobody a solution for this?

 

[Acidictinomen]

nobody a solution for this?

Nope. This is currently my biggest issue with this mod and it doesn't seem to be getting much attention. Granted, this isn't so much a bug as it is just a silly feature from custom commander that I think should either be done away with or made optional. I imagine it would be a substantial change to the behavior of the custom commander mod, so I wouldn't expect a fix anytime soon.

Or perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I will find a solution. I'm crossing my fingers...

 

[CmdrQuartz]

I don't know if what I did would solve your problem but I too was annoyed that conquered villages and stuff only gave swadian recruits when I tend to mix Swadian(melee cavalry) and Khergit(horse archers). Reading up on TheMageLord's tweaks I managed to change the villages to give their starting faction units. I haven't gone rouge yet so i don't know if it will solve your problem but it's worth a try yes? Since no solution or suggestions have come up...

Okay lets see if I can accurately give instructions on this. This is in scripts.txt... kinda forgot to mention that

1. Search for update_volunteer_troops_in_village -1

2. Then search for "72 23 2 1224979098644774912 1 521 3 1224979098644774913 1224979098644774912 26 2204 2 1224979098644774914 1224979098644774912 522 3 1224979098644774915"

3. Replace the blue numbers with "521 3 1224979098644774914 1224979098644774912 19"

hopefully that works as I'm not 100% sure that's what I did. If not perhaps I'll just post the entire modified script. worked for me, waited a few days for stuff to refresh and then went to a conquered Khergit village that I knew I had gotten Swadians from earlier and surprise surprise it had Khergit peasants! Still needs testing perhaps as I tried it once before I went to bed but it worked and no crashes. Best of luck and anyone that tries let me know if it works or not or if I should post the entire script.
