What is The Guild 2?
The Guild 2 is a management game set in the early renaissance. You start managing one character that can create busineses and need to grow its dynasty.
The game is quite old. The 3rd opus came out quite recently but, for me, is really different gameplay-wise from the 2nd.
Modding
Modding community on the game seems to be mostly centered about a mod, the Fajeth’s MegaModPack. The guy is having his Discord server where lot of resources and help is available. He is currently redoing the MegaModPack from scratch and it is called Reforged, it is open source (nice!).
The game is easy to mod. Most of the features in game is done via Lua scripts. Informational datas are stored as .dbt
files (in the DB
folder) and are ASCII.
I will post later some documentations Fajeth wrote on some forums along with the scripting functions documentation. I am a bit scared the forum will close one day without any backups.
