Rhodok King Mod?

[MagicJuggler]

An idea for a minimod.

Since Rhodoks have the unique "elect-a-king" system, would there be interest in generating a mod to allow characters whom are Rhodok Vassals to be participant in such an election?

A mod idea:

A mod that prevents guys like you to post ideas!

Now that would be a great mod!

Posting ideas of mods won't make it happen! It's your idea you work it! Modders have their own ideas and they work hard to make them happen! If you have an idea of a mod learn how to mod M&B and do it yourself don't just shout ideas for others to grab cuz it won't happen!

I usually agree that it's impolite to come here and ask other people to make a mod for you, but this guy posted in a polite and clear way without making demands or coming off as a tool. Although threads like these are usually annoying and deserving of replies like that, he hasn't done anything wrong yet, so cut him some slack.

Anyway, Bloodlusters point is kind of right, people have their own projects and people generally aren't interested in making someone elses idea. Even if your post was considerably more polite than the usual crap we get from people coming here and posting "make this mod" threads every other day, no one is going to make it for you. There are plenty of great tutorials out there and once the module system comes out for the new version you might like to give it a shot yourself. It's not a bad idea and could be fun.

Anyway, this thread is a good example of why people usually react with such hostility to threads like this:

You might want to consider locking the thread to avoid more of the more short tempered folks flaming.

People generally post mod ideas when they are incapable of making them themselves, and are also incapable of learning how to make them.

I like his idea... Well it wont be made until the release of the module system.

I happily messed around with the .960 toolset, and should be capable of actually writing up the mod with minimal effort (as it is effectively adding a few menus) when the toolkit comes out. The reason I asked about the minimod idea was to see if anyone would be interested in it.

I like the idea. Now go and produce it!

You probably should have said something about that in your first post then. it would have saved the need for that rude post.
Good luck anyway!

btw. You could probably expand this to all 5 factions maybe.

it would be sweet, and it would add in a perk to playing Rhodoks (which in my opinion they need desperately) but you'd need to throw in other features too, like

A: changing the name of the lords elected from Lord .... to King .... and change the name of the king leaving office for example from King Graveth to Lord Graveth (I'm not even sure that's his real name)

B: you have to add options and commands that you can access as a king either through the addition of an NPC adviser who joins when you're elected and leaves when you're voted out, who has the dialogue options of the Rebel leaders that you join/join you, or through menus, I'd think the NPC would be easier

other things that wouldn't be crucial but would be neat to add would be

C: ability to appoint and dissmiss vassals. possibly allowing you to appoint your NPCs as vassals and have them leave your party creating their own.

D: possibility of the Rhodok Rebellion guy recruiting some of your vassals if you don't treat them right and causing an uprising that you'd have to quell. that would work well with the above feature as it would allow you to appoint emergency vassals to combat the traitorous ones.

Perhaps in an expanded mod; the reason for Rhodoks was specifically due to their system of electing their king, but one could always find more creative ways to become king...(Drinking contest for Nords?  )
