How can I play Middenland/Mousillion in WH?

[James Rye]

So I played the Woodies and Beasties campaigns and it says I got the option to play as Middenland or Mousillion yet I can't find those options. Is this something I can only play in WHF2 or do I need to do something to load their content into my game?

[Inardesco]

Both are unplayable unless you use a faction unlocker such as Crysnos faction unlocker

[James Rye]

What is a Faction unlocker and where can I get them? And then why did I got a reward for winning a campaign if I cannot use them?

The thing is, they *are* playable, but just in custom battles :S

Oh. So like I need to make a custom campaign? Where can I find that in the menu?

Der Faction Unlocker ist eine Mod....

So the game devs give you new content after playing certain campaigns for a Mod?
That makes no sense!

[Aredrino]

No. You can play them in custom battles. -CUSTOM BATTLES-. Not campaign, not scenarios. Custom. Battles.

Where you set up a fight between two factions. It's for multiplayer -BATTLES-.

[James Rye]

But it said singleplayer campaigns... Maybe they meant the old world edition?

Yeezus you're not making this easy to explain... You can play these 2 factions via a mod that unlocks them. This has nothing to do with the devs lol

So this guy here also got all those factions via a mod? And the reward is for custom battles and mutliplayer battles only? That's kinda dumb. I was surprised when I read as what new faction I could play next just to wonder where it is.

Yeah they are not playable in vanilla campaign as the wiki clearly says (or should say in Mousillons case)....

not dumb at all the red duke is a amazing duelist and assassination caracter that is very usefull in a wide variety of aplications

meanwhile boris fills a vital niche in the empires roster and that is the ability to regenerate that is usefull in lots of different scenarios hence why he is arguibly better than karl franz

Some awful and ignorant replies in here.

You can play as Boris and/or the Red Duke in the Mortal Empires campaign, simply by subscribing to a few mods.


This also has the nice side-effect of adding Legendary Lords to what would otherwise be just a bunch of generic Empire factions on the map. Now these Lords will have unique items on the campaign map, and in battle.

You'll need a few mods from Mixu:

Was never the issue here, he asked if you needed a mod just to be able to play the 'lords' he unlocked. It was explained to him that the lords are unlocked in battles, not campaign.

Mods solve literally every issue this game has except for hardcoded stuff such as pocket-ladders and terrible siege / Naval battles.

The message says something like 'You have unlocked Mousillion to use in single player and multiplayer'.

The devs mean it is now playable in CUSTOM Battles. Yes, it is not clear and yes, they should mention it is not for Campaign but only for Custom Battles.

But you don't need a mod, the devs don't force any mod use on the players. You only need a mod if you want to play a campaign as these factions.
