FAQ

What is this?

Medieval Factions is a system of mechanics that allows for the simulation of sovereign nations. Players can create nations, claim territory, engage in warfare or politics, write laws or hold dueling tournaments, and generally are able to attempt to recreate society somewhat.

How do I make factions claim more land?

A faction is able to claim as much land as their cumulative power level allows. The cumulative power level is made up of the sum of the power levels of the members of the faction. This will allow you and your other members to gain more power through killing/scheduled increases which will increase your cumulative power level which is tied to how much land your faction can claim.

Config options can be viewed by typing /mf config show [ 1 | 2 ] in game. Alternatively, they can be found in the config.yml file in the "MedievalFactions" folder located in your "plugins" folder.

To change what language the plugin is using, modify the "languageid" config option to one of the supported languages found in the plugin information outputted when you type /mf with no arguments.

How do I use a translation file that isn't supported?

To use your own translation for the plugin, rename the en-us.tsv file in the "languages" folder of the "MedievalFactions" folder. Open the file and translate the values for each key accordingly. Then, modify the "languageid" to be your file name without ".tsv". Your translated key values should immediately be used by the plugin.
