Fixed Colonization Thread - CK2: Middle Earth Project (CK2:MEP) mod for Crusader Kings II

Hello folks,

I was getting frustrated with the missing colonization mechanic in 0.6B so I went and found the missing files in 0.5, updated them to be compatible with Conclave and added them to my game. Both are text files, I will list the location where each text file should go and then the code I used for each. Create a text file at each location with the proper name and then copy/paste the following code. Everything seems to be working after a little testing, good luck!

Hi

I think that dwarves should only be allowed to settle in mountains. The only dwarf i can remember that didn't settle in a mountain was Mim, because he had a hill or something ( just add a ROOT = NOT { culture_group = culture_group_dwarves } for normal settle ). Also, i think that, as you did with mountains, there should be a specific wilderness culture for forests where there is forest terrain. You see, late into the Third Age, the great majority of elves living in Middle-Earth were sindar, and they would mostly settle in forests. So, you could make that sindar elves could only settle in forests, like dwarves only in mountains. I think that orcs and men can settle anywhere.

Also, the colonization cost is a bit too high. As elrond, you have to wait for nearly a century before colonizing ONE province. it would take forever to recreate the kingdom of Eregion.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the reply, I have cleaned up the colonization piece a bit so you are looking are 250 gold rather than 1000. Actually this option is already there but the list of 1000 gold colony options hides it sometimes. I suspect we need to do an overhaul of the culture spread/colonization system, I have a game right now where sauron's territory has converted to 'maiar' culture instead of 'orc.' I'll pass on your suggestions. I should probably repost the colonization fixes so folks can use it until the new version of the mod comes out.

bedivere

I guess that the automatic culture conversion is an event, right? Cant you just take it out, and create something like the colonization decisions to change culture? Like, replace population decision. It would take more time than purging, because you are not killing everyone. Then, as you move your population to that county, the native population becomes so small relatively that becomes irrelevant. Then the culture changes.This decision wouldn't be available for maiar/valar/ainur/ whatever the nazguls are. I think it would work. Maybe it could cost the same thing as the colonization decision, but it would take 10 years more or something.

Ok, so I think I can give folks a little insight into the next release; Colonization decisions and Population decisions/events have been fully overhauled. At the moment, the new system has seven levels of population, which cost less to increase but take the same amount of time to grow (more time overall to increase population size). This is what folks WITHOUT the reaper's due dlc will see, it is still pretty much the old system but cleaned up a bit and expanded.

I have restricted the dwarves from being able to send their steward to any province with terrain besides mountain, arctic, and hills to colonize. Conversely, most everyone else is restricted from being able to colonize mountains and arctic (hills are fair game).

Folks WITH the reaper's Due DLC will see events dealing with dynamic population growth and decline that is directly related to the prosperity and depopulation province modifiers added by reaper's due. This is a pretty big feature and still requires a lot of testing but I am confident that it works as intended now .

We may disable culture flipping now that colonization is working again since I think this was the original state of the mod but I need to look into that. Actually, culture changes are causing some other issues so culture creep will have to be revisited.

I download version 0.6 and i cant send councilors to colonize or purge or anything. Just the vanilla options. I go to try this fix and i find that the 00_job_actions.txt does not exist and nither does the job title one. the folders are there but they are empty. I download version 0.5 and then update it to 5.1 and finally 0.6. The game now wont start. I get to many but when i choose a nation and it tries to load it crashes to desktop without error message. I copy ''common'' folder to my desktop and delete mod folder. Then i install 0.6 and copy paste common folder and replace the one that the ''0.6.rar'' creates. I now have both Job actions and titles text files. I copy paste what is writen here into both of them and save. I start new game and i check my councillors still only vanilla missions.

Conclusion. You should put the text files into the original 0.6 version and make it so everything works because ive tried everything i can think of.

My job actions dosent even have the purge choice and i have no ide what the code could be
