Yes please make this compatible for 1212AD, I'd love you so much and so long. :hunted:

Could you make it compatible with 1212ad?:steamthumbsup:

Could you make it compatible with the UNLOCK ALL FACTIONS mod?

And to make it 12 tpy it's not enough to modify the startpos... you need to modify the event tables. T_T

does it also work with 1212ad mod?
:thehuns:

Thanks for the heads up, I will certainly give it a shot that sounds awesome

@abc You can still mod your existing save. It should only take 2 minutes. First you need to download editSF 1.2.7 and create a backup of your savefile somewhere. Open editSF and open your savefile with it, go to CAMPAIGN_SAVE_GAME > COMPRESSED_DATA > CAMPAIGN_ENV > CAMPAIGN_MODEL > and finally just click once on CAMPAIGN_CALENDAR and you'll see 3 numbers. The first number is the number of turns per year. The default should be "4" so all you need to do is change it to 12 and your save should be converted into a 12 turns per year campaign.

At least that's how it used to work lol. I have modded totalwar games for a while so IDK if they changed anything lol.

Also if you scroll through the comments, you'll even find me teaching people how to make characters immortal so you can actually make characters other than your faction leader immortal as well. You can even change their attributes making them pretty OP.

nvm it still works i had to place at top of load order, i was trying to use a mod that was 12 turns a year but they cancel each other out if that one or this one is at top of load order

can u update it? Dag died 43 turns in playing as Geats, granted hes an old blind ♥♥♥♥♥♥ next to usless, but It's nice to be able to use my general Recklessly on the battlefield in the shield wall without having to worry about losing him forever.

stupid

You, sir, are a god among men.
Mar 24, 2023 @ 9:31pm 
Ah okay thanks. That sounds cool maybe I'll give it a shot.

@Chimponaut the 12tpy mod actually changes the same file this mod does so you'll have to disable that mod. Also only the starting faction leaders will be immortal. The rest will die just like everyone. But if you're willing to waste 30 minutes of your time, in this very comments you'll find a guide to make any character immortal. All you have to do is follow the guide using editSF and edit your save file.

I still have characters die of old age. I don't use a lot of mods just 12 tpy.
Jul 12, 2022 @ 11:14pm 
@ScoobyBoobyDoo I'm pretty sure I left attila unchanged as he has 2 lives.
Jul 12, 2022 @ 5:55pm 
what about attila? does this mean you cannot kill the huns? can somebody help me out here
May 15, 2022 @ 12:05am 
Will definitely give it a try! Thanks for the help here btw.
May 14, 2022 @ 5:41am 
The first edit might take a few minutes but once you get a hang of using editSF, your gameplay experience will increase a lot from then on.
May 14, 2022 @ 5:38am 
@jsaldana92 It is possible. It's either in the character table or the character_detail table. It's one of the integers in those tables. I recommend making a backup of your savefile, download editSF, find your faction from faction_array. The name of the faction will appear once you select the faction table when you expand faction_array_X. And it's easier to find your faction leader through his gravitas. I haven't editted a campaign file nor a save file for a while but it's completely possible. I've posted some short tutorial-ish comments so you can look through there to get a grasp of what a character table looks like.
May 13, 2022 @ 8:29pm 
is there a way to edit the age of the faction leader so that we don't have to restart a new game? My faction leader died without an heir and now the game is stuck replacing him with one that is exactly one year older, so he dies every other turn lol. Current emperor is 91 and counting.

@sheldorth you have to save it after it goes red for it to work
Apr 5, 2021 @ 9:43am 
thanks for the help i just did it and some things went red but hopefully it worked ok
Apr 4, 2021 @ 9:38pm 
@sheldorth Here! I highlighted them from my previous screenshot : https://ibb.co/Wg8Ygyq
Apr 4, 2021 @ 9:36pm 
@sheldorth Haven't done it in a long time so I kinda forgot. But I'm quite certain that it's either "CHARACTER" under "CHARACTER_ARRAY_X" or it's "CHARACTER_DETAILS" under "CHARACTER".
Apr 4, 2021 @ 7:22pm 
when trying to make you faction leader immmortal using editSF what one of the options do you click on on the left to select you faction leader??
i cant tell from screenshot you left as its not highlighted trying to make my faction leader immortal in 1212 as no 4 turns per year mods are working and my leader keep dying
Feb 26, 2021 @ 1:26pm 
It was always interesting to see how long I could keep my leader alive... now... LOOK OUT WORLD! You're not getting rid of me!
Nov 1, 2020 @ 8:29am 
Sick Watermelon thank you so mush
Nov 1, 2020 @ 8:25am 
@kirill.seliunin no. But you can edit your savefile with editSF to make your faction leader or any of your generals immortal. Just locate your faction leader in your save file and change this boolean to True(the default should be false) : https://imgbb.com/gdTw2Z0
Nov 1, 2020 @ 6:25am 
Is your mod compatible with MK 1212 ad?
Feb 5, 2020 @ 12:31pm 
PLEASE UDAPTEE
Jan 22, 2020 @ 11:32am 
playing with this mod and the other one for aoc I've seen the leaders live up to 160+ some of the factions leaders do die of old age eventually but most games i win before the faction leader reaches 100 they dont die in battle they just suffer a severe wound and end up back at the capital after a turn or 2. Its a good mod for role playing :D
Nov 25, 2019 @ 7:48am 
doesnt work with ostrogoths
Apr 27, 2019 @ 3:48am 
So, if I understand that correctly, can not they die of a natural death?
Apr 12, 2019 @ 4:40pm 
As a fellow Emperor I have to say...it just doesn't feel right(that portrait)
Feb 12, 2019 @ 4:05pm 
should be trump on cover
Jan 18, 2019 @ 9:20am 
@KorkronElite121 Maybe I updated it for the slavs LOL! I totally forgot. Also you can use editSF to remove or change negative traits. I think there are guides to make characters immortal using editSF on this very comment section. And from the images you can clearly find stuff like "attributes" which are zeal, cunning and authority which you can change. And "traits" which is pretty self explanatory. If you're having trouble finding trait names here you go : http://www.honga.net/totalwar/attila/trait.php?l=en&v=attila&i=

With only a little bit of time and effort you can enhance your gameplay by a lot.

oldest i got was 274 turns at age 131 or something like that with dag as the geats, sometimes once they pass like 80 they go blind, and then there pretty much useless
Jan 18, 2019 @ 7:22am 
works for slavs and saxons tested it. got to age 102 before i got bored on slavs and 93 on saxon
Jan 18, 2019 @ 4:49am 
@Human72 haven't updated the mod in a while. But I'm pretty sure it'll just fine. And yes! They're literally unkillable. They'll get wounded but they won't die. Also I'm pretty sure it won't work for slavic leaders and maybe the saxons? Because I didn't own the DLCs at the time of making this mod.
Jan 17, 2019 @ 11:08pm 
so will they die to age? or by assassins etc? or is it just imortality out right?
Oct 23, 2018 @ 8:28am 
@KorkronElite121 What are you talking about. One of them is literally on the 2nd page. And if you're still confused google "startpos modding" and there'll be tons of step by step forum posts. Most are just turns per year changes but you'll get the gist of it after seeing and following one or two of them.

After that take a look at the images I've linked in the replies. You'll get it then. Also I think I need to point out that your savefiles are literally startposes so they're basically the same thing. You mod startpos with assemblykit or PFM and you edit savefiles with EditSF.
Oct 23, 2018 @ 8:21am 
could you possibly make a step by step guide or youtube video on how to mod the faction leader. i couldnt seem to find any or in the commet section as you suggested. if you have the time please & thank you for your time and energy that you did put into this mod. :)
Oct 23, 2018 @ 8:15am 
okay
Oct 23, 2018 @ 6:22am 
@KorkronElite121 scroll through the comments and you'll find guides with images on how to make a character immortal or change their attributes or edit their traits. Editing one or 2 characters will take about 2-3 minutes. I'm just too lazy to update this mod because attila has too many factions now hence too many leaders hehe.
Oct 22, 2018 @ 2:55pm 
hmm think u can update this mod? Dag died at 75 :'( and every Ai Leader dies in battle. and on the world map permantely. Dag Survives battle even if cut down. but Age seems to be something i cant get him over the hill, Longest i could get him alive for was 82, he also doesnt seem to have the Like an OX trait anymore. for -30% chance of nature death
Oct 21, 2018 @ 10:21pm 
@AxiomExotic Ah~ the power... It's addicting!!!
Oct 21, 2018 @ 9:46pm 
Deleting the comments from those who disagree with you! just kidding hhaha
Oct 21, 2018 @ 9:40pm 
@AxiomExotic Haha! Hows that!?
Oct 21, 2018 @ 9:36pm 
@KorkronElite121 also sorry I accidentally deleted your comment LOL! Saw a button and clicked on it without realizing it was a trashcan icon hehe.
Oct 21, 2018 @ 9:35pm 
@KorkronElite121 everyone leader gets negative traits when they're older. But you can replace those traits with positive ones by editting your save game with editSF. And go to "traits" circled by red https://ibb.co/mFO9Y0 and replace the negative trait with a positive one.

You can find trait names from here : https://www.honga.net/totalwar/attila/trait.php?l=en&v=attila&i=
