Solland: Faction Overhaul

Description
"When the hammer blow of the Ironclaw fell on Averland, Eldred von Heugenloewd, Count of Solland, was quick to marshal his forces despite his marginalized position at the Imperial court."

This mod adds a completely new faction, Solland, with this mod's main attraction: Count Eldred von Heugonloewd, the Elector Count of Solland.

FEATURES
  • Sun of the South – 1 new Faction, 1 Legendary Lord, 1 Legendary Hero, 1 new RoR(ish), and 2 new units
  • 1 new landmark and 1 new building chain
  • Reskin for the Eldred's Guard
  • Custom Mechanics
    • The Count vs. Da Leader - Count Eldred holds a deep grudge against Gorbad Ironclaw due to his destruction of Solland. Gain bonuses on either economy or battle depending on the state of either Solland or Ironclaw.
    • Empire Politics - Kinda. Mostly works, except for Reinstating (IE)

PLEASE READ
  • This mod is balanced for vanilla gameplay. It aims to insert itself into vanilla campaigns as seamlessly as possible.
  • The extra effects that are not featured on the starting trait and the faction effects are the bonuses that come with being the Elector Count of Solland.
  • You must finish the quest chain/battle to reclaim the Crown of Solland to unlock it. (AI automatically gets it at lvl 15)
  • Gorbad does not have access to the Rivalry mechanic. Solland was only in the way of his Waagh!
  • The meter will disappear once Gorbad Ironclaw and his faction are destroyed.
  • Reinstating this elector/faction will not work in IE. I've tried everything I could and it just won't work, as I suspect there will be some changed needed in the startpos for it to work. Please don't bother Mixu or anyone to ask about this.
  • However, I highly recommend to play this faction in The Old World, as all Empire Politics mechanics will work there.

RECOMMENDED

disabling Heroes of Legend seemed to fix it

multiplayer is fickle like that i guess, it also depends on your modlist. its 99% not a mod conflict, but a script break

i just realised all the Mixu elector counts are missing as well so it might not be an issue with your mods

for some reason Solland, Carroburg and Sylvania in TOW Classic Multiplayer, are starting with 0 fealty and their LL's arent appearing, could this be a load order issue or a multiplayer issue?
or maybe a mod conflict? i'll try some other things out to see if i can fix it

If an incompetent in coding like me can be of any help, you know where to find me.

Thanks for all the answers !

oh, its a lot more complicated than that, and honestly at this point its better to not bother with it. maybe i can come up with a solution for it in the future

So it should be asked to those who made IEE ? And what about "vanilla" IE map ?
Would I be able to change it on my own ?
I thought it was "just" an XML fileabout who's starting where ?
graetor  [author] 10 Aug @ 9:06pm 
unfortunately i think that is something startpos-related so it's probably not possible in IE/IEE.

maybe you could have that in TOW/C as the solland there is the actual starting faction.

Is it possible to remove the Vampire starting pos from Pfeildorf and Steingart ? Making it possible to "liberate" or have Eldred as a rebellion in both of these ? (or even give Pfeildorf back to Balthazar just for "liberation" and rebellion and giving Steingart to Eldred)

I realized it was the same in Araby for your bretonnian mods. I was able to "liberate" Outremer, K. of the Flame and Repanse, but not K; of Origo, even in Zandri.

If ever it is possible.
