Nerfed Garrison Script

[mandalore9]

For those who wanted a nerfed garrison script, I took some time to edit it.

"uh ohhh...I hope cave trolls dont spawn"


"Awesome! No trolls. "


Changes:
-Almost all scripted cities have been nerfed (with the exception of most capitals and select key cities/castles)
-Trolls no longer spawn( No more troll spawns from black gates/Moria/Baradur, but there are more orc spawns and they are experienced to make up for it)
-The number of spawns are not changed but the quality of the units. This is to make it more realistic.

To install:
1. Make a backup of the campaign_script.txt located in:
C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
2. Download the attached campaign_script.txt in this thread and place it in the above folder.
3. Go to C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age\data\world\maps\base and delete map.rwm

To uninstall:
1. Simply replace campaign_script.txt with your back-up

This is not save game compatible, so you will have to restart a new campaign. Happy sieging.

Note: As mentioned above some cities such as Isengard, helms deep, etc will still have strong spawns because it should be hard to take those key places.

For those who want to remove the garrison script all together:

The garrison script is located in:
C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

Search for the file campaign_script.txt.

I've uploaded an attachment in this post. Download it and place it in the aforementioned folder. Don't forget to make a back-up of the existing campaign_script.txt! After that overwrite it with the new file.

This eliminates the garrisons completely. It does not affect existing save games so you have to restart a campaign in order for it to take effect.

Go to
C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age\data\world\maps\base
and delete map.rwm

Don't worry, each time you start a new campaign the game will regenerate this file (it might take 10 seconds to build it so please be patient). This new map.rwm will contain the changed campaign_script.txt.


In order to revert these changes, remove the campaign_script.txt file and restore your back-up. Delete map.rwm and start your new campaign.

this is the mod i was waiting for! thanks dude. +rep

[nairagorn]

Awesome. If I hadn't already +rep'd you I'd do it again.

[Dangor]

awesome! I need to restart anyway, Rohan is going down fast

[hazyblue]

Really appreciate that Mandalore! If I could rep you I would! Will use this in my next game.

[SmurfDude]

Just what many of us were waiting for, much thanks and rep

Excellent work!

The Help Weakened Factions portion of the script, does that spawn a random full stack? (Thus explaining why a battle-hardened stack of troops came knocking at the gates of Edoras just turns after I sacked it.)

The garrison script in TATW does not spawn random units, it is already predetermined. With that said, yes it still spawns a full stack, but not as elite as before. Regarding Edoras: There is another already built-in script that checks whether Rohan controls Edoras. If they do not, a "battle-hardened" full stack will spawn.

Here are the lines of code that show it:[if you care that is..]

Thats great!+rep After I'm done with Silvan Elves I'll install this.

This is not save game compatible, but does that mean it stops my current campaign from working or doesn't it just take effect until restarting? Can I install this already or do I have to wait?

I would wait until you are done your Silvan Elves campaign.

Sorry, I end up saying random when I don't entirely mean it. Without looking at the code (which I had prior to typing ) the armies are seemingly random. I was rather intrigued that Rohan, who was only at war with me (well and the rebels), had recruited a full stack with some experience to march against the recently stolen Edoras. The more you know.

It was actually pretty fun to look at the code and half understand it (I had 2 years of Comp Sci. before switching majors. Sadly, I forgot most of it.)

Anyway, thanks again.

I think i love you! Thanks mate!

[Garet Jax]

Ahh sweet, I cant wait to get off work so i can download! Thx abunch

[aurther]

very nice exactly what i was looking for.

[Blooo]

Wow, thank you! Not to be picky, but would it be possible to add trolls and the like to the capitol cities only?

Basically you want the garrison script to be removed from all cities except the capitals? If you are referring to trolls only, the original garrison script already has that. The problem is, it spawns way too much. A full stack + 4-5 trolls is hard especially on vh/vh.

[Blooo]

Nono, I meant, have the nerfed script on the minor cities like you currently have, but add a unit of trolls or other powerful units to the capitol city spawn lists.

yeah, if you want it to spawn troll units, it will spawn trolls en masse. So if i put it back, it would still spawn 4-5 trolls, which is why i edited it in the first place. I removed the trolls but gave exp to the spawns(only to settlements that trolls were replaced) hoping that would even it out a bit. In the original campaign_script there are only 3 cities that spawned trolls which were Barad-dur(battle trolls), Black Gates(Battle trolls) and Moria (Cave trolls). Adding trolls to all capitals would be a "buff" to the garrison script not a nerf. If you still want me to add those just pm me.

[Blooo]

Oh, I think I see. It's not possible to make them (the three capitols that had them in the original script) only spawn like one unit of trolls eh? Darn.

Cuz that would be ideal IMO. Militia spawned in the small towns, with capitols spawning mostly militia and a few higher tier units, and like one super unit.

Oh well. A nerd can dream!
