Missions/Victory Conditions

Originally written by Wolfy.

WORK IN PROGRESS

Mission Types

Each one of the missions has to have a type associated. This type defines not only the kind of condition that has to be achieved or the default associated text, but also the structure that objective has to have in order to be loaded. However, they are not properly defiened anywhere and the best way to discover new ones is to reverse engineer them by manually testing new possibilities or by looking for new keys in past or future victory_objectives.txt files.

Again, the complete list is not available anywhere and this is the best collection available. It includes data extracted since Medieval II and includes all main games and sagas until Three Kingdoms. The list will be expanded further, if possible, once Warhammer III Assembly Kit is out. In any case, it is important to note that a lot of modders associate the objective keys to the table MISSION_TYPES, but this is not true. Not all possible types are listed in that table and not all keys in that table work as valid mission types.

List of known mission types

key	description
AT_LEAST_X_RELIGION_IN_ALL_PROVINCES
AT_LEAST_X_RELIGION_IN_PROVINCES	Ensure a minimum of X religion/corruption in the given list of provinces.
ATTAIN_FACTION_PROGRESSION_LEVEL	Become an Emperor or something idk.
ASSASSINATE_CHARACTER	Kill one character, agent or lord, in particular.
ASSASSINATE_X_CHARACTERS	Kill a number of characters. You can specify some rules, like their culture.
CONSTRUCT_N_BUILDINGS_FROM	Construct N buildings from a given pool.
CONSTRUCT_N_OF_A_BUILDING	Construct the same building N times.
CONSTRUCT_N_OF_A_BUILDING_CHAIN	Construct a building for the same building chain N times.
CONTROL_N_PORTS_INCLUDING	Control a given number of portuary regions. You can specify which ones, although you do not need to specify all of them. Military alliances/vassals' possessions count.
CONTROL_N_PROVINCES_INCLUDING	Control a given number of provinces. You can specify which ones, although you do not need to specify all of them. Military alliances/vassals' possessions count.
CONTROL_N_REGIONS_INCLUDING	Control a given number of regions. You can specify which ones, although you do not need to specify all of them. Military alliances/vassals' possessions count.
CONTROL_N_REGIONS_FROM	Control a given number of regions from a given pool.
DEFEAT_N_ARMIES_OF_FACTION	Defeat in battle a given faction X times.
DESTROY_ALL_WORLD_LEADERS	I do not remember bruh. Guess deprecated/historical.
DESTROY_FACTION	Completely wipe a given list of factions. Confederation can be allowed with a flag.
DONT_LOSE_REGION	Never used but seems quite lineal.
EARN_X_AMOUNT_FROM_BUILDING_WEALTH	At the start of your turn, your building income should be bigger than X. Although it may be wrong and be based on the historical earnings, not sure.
EARN_X_AMOUNT_FROM_RAIDING	Earn X amount from raiding during all the campaign. It is accumulative.
ERADICATE_FACTION	I do not know the difference between this one and DESTROY_FACTION. Use the latter just in case.
FIGHT_SET_PIECE_BATTLE	Fight a given battle. A battle for an object or a final campaign battle, for example.
HAVE_AT_LEAST_X_MONEY	Get money. Like a lot. Being “a lot” X.
HAVE_AT_LEAST_X_OF_A_POOLED_RESOURCE	Accumulate a pooled resource. It counts global pooled resources but I do not know if it counts military- or region-bound pooled resources introduced in WH3.
HAVE_DIPLOMATIC_RELATIONSHIP	Seems obvious but I am not sure how much you can twerk it.
HAVE_RESOURCES	Have access to resources like Gold or Horses.
HAVE_N_AGENTS_OF_TYPE	Deploy X agents. Not sure if it works with lords.
HOLD_ENTIRETY_OF_N_PROVINCES_INCLUDING	I do not know the difference between this one and CONTROL_N_PROVINCES_INCLUDING, although it may be based on not considering your military alliances/vassals territory. I do not recommend using it.
INCOME_AT_LEAST_X	At the start of your turn, get an income of at least X.
LOOT_OR_SACK_N_DIFFERENT_SETTLEMENTS_INCLUDING	Loot or sack a given set of settlements. It is a pain in the ass because if you occupy or raze, it does not count. Usually better to use RAZE_OR_SACK_N_DIFFERENT_SETTLEMENTS_INCLUDING.
MAINTAIN_N_CLIENT_STATES	Not sure. It is old stuff from historical games. Maybe vassals.
MAINTAIN_TRADE_WITH_N_FACTIONS	Kinda lineal. Trade with X partners.
MEET_ALL_OTHER_OBJECTIVES_WITHIN_X_TURNS	You get X turns to complete all other objectives. Otherwise you lose.
MP_COMPETITIVE	Used for multiplayer head-to-head. Basically accepts everything.
NO_MORE_THAN_X_RELIGION_IN_ALL_PROVINCES	Prevent more than X religion/corruption in the given list of provinces.
OWN_A_PORT_ADJOINING_SEA_REGIONS_INCLUDING	Never worked with sea regions directly, so may be tricky, but seems quite lineal.
OWN_AT_LEAST_ONE_SOURCE_OF_EACH_RESOURCE	Own at least one source of each resource like Gold or Horses. Not sure if you need to control the area or also build the building (Is there a non redundant way of saying this?).
OWN_N_NAVAL_UNITS	Not working anymore. Sad. BRING NAVAL COMBAT BACK.
OWN_N_PROVINCES_WITH_CULTURAL_DOMINANCE	I believe it only works on old historical games because Cultural Dominance is not a thing anymore. Not sure tho.
OWN_N_REGIONS_INCLUDING	No idea about the difference between this one and CONTROL_N_REGIONS_INCLUDING. Use the latter.
OWN_N_UNITS	Own a total of X units in all your armies.
PERFORM_RITUAL	Perform a ritual. Note that there are a lot of rituals not only related to the Vortex campaign, like offering meat to the maw or performing a Clan Eshin scheme.
RAZE_OR_SACK_N_DIFFERENT_SETTLEMENTS_INCLUDING	Raze or sack a given set of settlements. It is a pain in the ass because if you occupy the settlement, it does not count. You do not really have to specify a list of settlements tho, it can be just a number.
RAZE_OR_SACK_N_DIFFERENT_SETTLEMENTS_RELIGION	Like the key above, but targeting a religion in particular.
REACH_SPECIFIED_DATE	Reach a specific date/year. Not really useful in Warhamemer. In fact I am not even sure if it is possible.
RESEARCH_N_TECHS_OF_TYPE_X	When I was young, we had multiple research lines based on different aspects, like economy and military. That is not happening anymore and there is a lot of multiculturality. So, no types anymore. You can use it to research X techs without forcing a type.
SCRIPTED	A script. Whatever you want.
SUBJUGATE_FACTIONS	As far as I know, vassalize factions. I may be wrong.
TRADE_INCOME_AT_LEAST_X	At the start of your turn, have a trading income of at least X.
VASSALS_OWN_BUILDINGS	Make your vassals own buildings. Useful for shitty campaigns like Nakai.

Usage

Every mission type has a particular usage and, sadly, it is not documented anywhere. So this should work as your reliable source. Note that some things may change or be disabled from game to game.
