Quick Vanilla R:TW Question

Post by Surlethe »

Is there a way to tinker with the victory conditions so I can play past taking Rome and controlling 50 regions?
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

I thought the game gave you an option to continue playing after you meet the victory conditions?
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

One way that I thought up but never got around to testing is to conquer all of Italy except Rome itself, and then go on to conquer the rest of the world. The one possible flaw in this is that after being surrounded by enemy territor, the Senate might just surrender....however their hatred for you might be enough to prevent them from ever doing so, which would give you more than enough time to conquer to your heart's delight.

I didn't think so, from the last time I beat the game, but my save right before victory doesn't want to open, so I can't be sure.

That's actually what I'm going to do if there's no way to edit the data files. It's just that, if that's the case, I need to adjust my Italian Peninsula campaign strategy accordingly -- i.e., bring troops up the eastern corridor above Capua, instead of through Latium around Rome.

Erm, I think there is an option you can check off on starting a game that requires you to take every province on the map to win. Total Conquest or some such.

Update to the latest patch version. The original version cut off the game when you met the victory conditions, but they added the "keep playing" option in one of the patches.

There's another victory message when you take every province on the map (which I've done), and then you can't play any more.

Okay; thank you.
