Any plans on making a similar mod for Warhammer 3?

This used to be very useful in the Eye of the Vortex Campaign, otherwise I just ignore the rituals. Anyway a faction should be able to change its capital by default since it influences trade agreements.

Will state what others have stated before because it looks like those commenting does not even read one previous comment: You can still do this with SaveParser, which is something you have to download, not a mod on workshop. Read previous comments for more info.

Also, in my experience, you have to do the Capital index +1 for the correct number. Lets say 63 is the capital you want when searching the Capital index, the correct one will then be 64.

Why not hide this or delete it...

I wish there were an updated version of this mod, The Barrow Legion starts with a garbage capital and I want to move mine to Massif Orcal without razing the Blackstone Post

It's sad that this mod had to come to an end but I just wanna say thanks for your hard work

And for those interested, if you don't know region index that you want for capital, you can check it in Edit tab of SaveParser: click Region(s) button, and you will see a list of region with index/name value pairs. But to get the correct Capital, take index of region you want and add 1 to it

@Tridon Thanks for the great tip!

Quick notes for anyone who was looking online to change their capital like I was ( I played an Eight Peaks campaign). To change your capital, download SaveParser. Load your save, parse the faction table, double click your faction and change the Capital index value.

Guess for anyone playing with Thorek, who wants to set their capital to Karaz-a-Karak once you've confed, or taken it, etc. The array VALUE you want to set for your faction is "180." Your trade is absolutely crippled in that campaign by having your capital on the far south end of the map, not even a "lore" preference thing, you need change your capital lolol
MrSoul 8 Aug, 2021 @ 1:21pm 
do you have the regions array list could link for those who still want to try and manually edit it? Think otherwise fairly simple task, but if you had that already made up, save me alot of time haha

Hi ! Thank you for your work, but could we get an update please ? :)
Vic  [author] 4 Aug, 2021 @ 8:41am 
Nope, at this point the only way to change faction capital is offline (not in-game)
AlduinTWE 3 Aug, 2021 @ 7:27pm 
I don't suppose theres another way to recreate this mod without the use of whatever program you used is there?
Umaril 23 Jul, 2021 @ 12:29pm 
So what happens with saves where we already changed the capitals ?
Villas 16 Jul, 2021 @ 8:52pm 
R.I.P
Redhand_Jedi 16 Jul, 2021 @ 9:25am 
Well, it was great while it lasted. Thank you for your hard work on the mod.
Sachito Senpai 16 Jul, 2021 @ 4:52am 
It's really a pity that CA won't create a functionnality to change capitals to more revelant settlements.
incursioWEB 16 Jul, 2021 @ 3:14am 
@DETrooper: Can you please write in the title that the mod is outdated and should not be used anymore? Thanks. But very sadly, was a awesome mod! Thumps up!
DETrooper  [author] 15 Jul, 2021 @ 7:05pm 
even if i fix the crash the mod still won't work since CA patched out the functionality i used to run the external program that changes the save file
residente 15 Jul, 2021 @ 4:59pm 
After an hour of looking through my mod I found out thanks to the comments that this one was the one making my game crash after I select any city.

Thanks for your work TRooper and hope you can fix it eventually!
DETrooper  [author] 15 Jul, 2021 @ 1:15pm 
ya it's fucked sorry boys

Of the modding den Discord of OtherTomCA:
Hey folks, I wanted to give you a bit of a heads up ahead of the release of Silence and Fury relating to some functionality you are going to be losing with the update. We were aware that os.execute and package.loadlib lua commands were enabled in our games which was a security flaw with the game that could leave Total War: WARHAMMER fans very vulnerable to malicious attacks.

As such, we are disabling them. I realise that this is somewhat frustrating, because the commands also allowed for interesting mod concepts, but hope you can understand that our reasoning was for the better for the Total War community overall.
Sachito Senpai 15 Jul, 2021 @ 4:12am 
I managed to find a temporary solution to not get locked out of your ongoing campaigns.
If you have already changed your capital to the desired settlement, this should help.

Just untick the mod before the game starts, and then force load the latest save that you have, either by clicking "Continue Campaign" or just "Enable All Saves" in the loading savegames screen. I could resume playing normally and just made a new save that doesn't have the mod on.
However, you will obviously not be able to change capital hereafter.
Fengxian0830 15 Jul, 2021 @ 12:09am 
Yep same problem as the others reported game crashes when clicking my only settlement being my capital. Shame too since I always love moving Imirk's capital to the true eleven capital.
DETrooper  [author] 14 Jul, 2021 @ 4:49pm 
i will check it out shortly
Supreme Commander 14 Jul, 2021 @ 3:23pm 
Mod crash my game too. Please fix this and update it to the latest version.
Steiner 14 Jul, 2021 @ 2:37pm 
Yeah this crashes the game for me too when selecting my capital settlement.
Please update as this is the most important mod for the game.
Sachito Senpai 14 Jul, 2021 @ 1:57pm 
Seconded here. This mod causes the game to crash after the most recent update once you click on any settlement for me, before or after I change the capital. Very annoying, please do find a fix. I have a full ongoing game that would be ruined now.
Cole Avenue 14 Jul, 2021 @ 11:05am 
FYI - this causes a crash to desktop with the silence and the fury update with the feb 15th version of the mod when clicking on my capital as oxy (bug may not be that specific but that's where i encountered it)
Zets 24 Jun, 2021 @ 12:35pm 
I can't seem to get this mod to work. The button does not show. Is there any well known mods that cuases this?
NewCenturyCenturion 9 Jun, 2021 @ 10:00am 
so can use it in an already Started multiplayer campaign?
namale210 3 Jun, 2021 @ 8:42am 
Even though I haven't played mortal empires, this would be very handy if I played as the Angrund clan. So I can finally move my capital towards Karaz-a-Karak or Karak eight peaks.
_Mar1nk0_ 20 May, 2021 @ 8:08am 
I used same method as @Nomad. And it worked:P tnx
(btw be sure to download latest editsf, 1st time i used some old one ) :P
Horny Jail 8 May, 2021 @ 7:56am 
cool
Nomad 4 May, 2021 @ 3:57am 
All good my friend. I was getting tired of having to restart my pc every time the game froze on black screen lol. It kept preventing me from letting me close WH2 via Task Manager.
DETrooper  [author] 3 May, 2021 @ 12:34pm 
i'm working on some fixes for the issues with this mod

also this mod (when it's working) basically does the same thing as that editsf method, it's just automated
Nomad 3 May, 2021 @ 10:40am 
For anyone that wants to learn EditSF, here's a nice guide on how to Change your Capitol. If anyone like me is playing an Imrik campaign, Vaul's Anvil value is 114 (save you some time). This method worked for me like a charm. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=474998322
Nomad 3 May, 2021 @ 7:50am 
I'm just gonna figure out how to use EditSF
PenGuinMan 3 May, 2021 @ 7:09am 
@Nomad same as me, it doesn't work for Imrik to move capital to Caledor
Also broke my save file
Nomad 3 May, 2021 @ 6:49am 
Doesn't seem to be working for me, playing Imrik. I'm around turn 20-30. I own Caledor province, closed KMM after game is loaded, disabled my Windows Security and Malware Bytes, and it's still hanging up on black screen.
Lysianax 2 May, 2021 @ 3:17pm 
You are heroes!
Sargonhero 2 May, 2021 @ 3:35am 
Great Mod Ever.
JoeN 2 May, 2021 @ 3:05am 
Does this work for Knights of Caledor ME Campaign? I want dem trade options :(
Gooby King 30 Apr, 2021 @ 11:17pm 
Apperently I accidentally re enabled my antivirus :steamfacepalm:. It works now. Also no "turn 20 black screen" issue for me that others seem to have experienced, although my campaign is only on turn 40
Gooby King 30 Apr, 2021 @ 10:59pm 
does this work with the rakarth patch? I have .NET and disabled it in my antivirus. there's also no download issue it seems, unless there should be more than a png and .pack file
TorquevonThorne 26 Apr, 2021 @ 8:43am 
Clan Angrund appreciates your effort. K8P forever
SmileNorFrown 24 Apr, 2021 @ 9:34am 
For whatever reason, it doesn't seem to work on vampire factions. I don't own Vampire Coast, so I can't say for them, but other than that, it works well.
Ash 21 Apr, 2021 @ 9:39am 
Weird bug. I've used it with other factions before and it works great. I'm playing Barrow Legion now, and any time I change it, it changes to a random province I don't own. First Klarond Kar, and then Shagrath.
