**Released: '300 Warlords of Sparta**.

[Reverend Scott]

Oracle missions ar indeed challenging .

[raphael]

does this work on steam?

[Keyser Soze]

fortunately I´ve bought Anthologhy so I tried your mod. it´s ing hard (on H/H) but great

[Halie Satanus]

A'yup. H/H is a test for anyone, even the most battle hardened Spartan.

[Keyser Soze]

I love Oracle missions. how did you them? and are they possible also in BI engine?

EDIT: I had idea about missions but based on Senate. unfortunately Aradan and MoN told me that this is hardcoded, therefore I like how you resolve this thing.

I found missions traits for Oracle, but how you coded rewards. also, is possible to code any penalties if mission is not sucess? could be also another rewards as money (any units, any settlement´s population will rebeling for you, more loyality in settlements...)?

EDIT2: Halie and how did you nonvisible regions borders on strat map?

Makanyane created the Oracle, Makanyane is the Oracle.

Invisible boarders I have no idea. I think Uranos did that.

I PMed to Uranos several weeks ago and he did not replay. maybe he also retired

thanks and also thanks for PM. good luck on retire.

@Keyser Soze
have your pm and will try and answer there in more detail - unfortunately I don't have this / Alex properly installed at the moment so may be a bit vague

invisible map borders - wasn't me - but probably done by changing alpha channel on the ui element that sets the border width - I know I've managed to fade them in m2tw that way.


re: the Oracle - her traits are really just the record keeping system, to allow variable start and finish times for the missions. The thing that controls them and the rewards / penalties is the background script. (look in data/scripts/show_me folder)

most of the mission stuff should be possible under BI - but you wouldn't be able to use immortal character as the record keeper - should be other ways around that though. You may want to have a look at some other mods for ideas

FRRE has a lot of scripted missions but I'm not sure of details of how they did it.

[Keyser Soze]

what I know about background scripts is that they must be activated by player. if not they not works and there is problem with quitting game and load save game. also with background scripts could be problem with stability of game.

but Aradan told me that your traits works fine even game is loaded...

I think that immortal character could be replaced by any character with "long live" trait?

Oracle is genial idea

thanks for everything makanyane.

[Dolfa]

What factions does the classic version include.Sorry if you had it pointed somewhere and couldn't see it...

[King-Morgoth]

Quick question.


Why don't Spartans have the phalanx ability on their units when Persia does?

[Halie Satanus]

Simple answer is because the Spartans use an overhand animation which wouldn't work with the 'phalanx' button. However they do fight in a Phalanx.

im wondering how hard a hotseat mod for this would be? ive been playing a game of kingdoms for several months now with a buddy, now hes seen this he keeps trying to jump my mouse! just wondering add another greek faction, hotseat? im willing to do the work, if someones willing to tell me how! halie once again awesome. started converting the "massive" battle replay i did, gonna put it on you tube and link here.

[Halie Satanus]

I've never played 'hotseat' and really know nothing about how it works. Someone round here could probably send you in the right direction.

[Agamemnon]

Hey, I dled it, but when I try to run it, I get a message saying "the file contains invalid data". Any ideas?

[Spartan198]

Redownload. I just DLed it from Filefront and it installed without a hitch.

[Agamemnon]

Doing it with steam. I dled, installed, used the instructions for making it work with steam (from aristieia), still doesn't work.

[Halie Satanus]

Right-click on the Alexander game tab (on Steam) and right click on it to select properties. In the general tab, click "Set launch options..." and add the following line: "-show_err -nm -mod:alexander/300WOS", once then launch the game as "Rome Total War: Alexander."

This has worked for others trying to play Alex on 'Steam' ..
