LATEST SS RR/RC VERSION - 2010 Version - ***APRIL 11***

[Shoryn]

Early Campaign is now 1 year per turn

You're a genius !

[LethaL]

hi, i've been away from SS for while, mainly becase TATW, but i decided to give it another try...i started a Late Era campaign with England and the first thing that i noticed was that the 2 rebel settlements in Ireland (Galway and Cork) don't have any garrisson...it's that intended??
Another thing, while i used toggle_fow(just in the first turn) to see how things were going...i saw a rebel army (half stack) just outside Riga who has only 3 units in the city and another rebel army (full stack) midway between Riga and Reval (Denmark) just outside a rebel fort with a 2\3 stack garrisoned...so it's that intended too?? doesn't this make the game a bit to harder for TO (maybe not, after all they are just rebels)...

Btw can anyone explain me how i can put garrisons in rebel settlements or if possible to move 2 of those 3 armies to the settlements??

Thanks...

To do this you need to:
- edit descr_strat.txt file, find the settlements, and add units (you'll see the template in descr_strat, with little imagination you can cut and paste existing rebel garrisons to fill those cities, the most important is to respect X,Y coordinates
- restart a new game (this is not save game compatible of course)

Thanks...btw great work with the new UI's

It's also possible to use the console. (~`) use create_unit "Cork" "WhateverUnitYouWant"

Correct unit names are found in export_descr_unit.txt. Mind the CapIToL letters.

@Lethal: thanks i appreciate it

@Jorisof Holland: wrong, if you do so, the units will be controlled by the player not the rebels

Well, I don't know if "Javelinmen" is a unit, and "Sergeant Spearmen" might be "Sergeant_Spearmen", but other than that I don't know. Did you remember to delete the old units from Cork?

@PB: Will changing it back to 2tpy cause any problems?

Mmmm strange, it seems correct to me
But check the name of the units in the export_descr_unit.txt, they MUST match. And Sergeant Spearmen is the correct unit name, normally _ are used only for the reference used in the translation.

I think the unit names must be correct because I copied the garrisson from another rebel settlement, and the general name was taken from the descr_names from England section

I was reading some of the posts above about BGRIV after installing the latest MAR21 patch and Im a bit mixed up, so if someone would be so kind I'd like a bit of guidance?

Ive made a full fresh re-install of everything, the game, kingdoms and SS, plus with RR/RC, patched with the FEB and MAR patches.

Im a big fan of BGR so I think all thats left for me is to install that and Im ready.

Do I just install the Data_BGRIV folder to the Data folder like in the past? Im confused as on page 9 of this thread at 11:58 AM, Byg himself posts a few files. Are these files included in the latest MAR release or should I paste them over my files from the Data_BGRIV after Ive done it?

Cheers.

from the Rozmod
another way to create a garrison in Galway (or Cork) using descr_strat:

settlement
{
level town
region Galway_Province

year_founded 0
population 1000
plan_set default_set
faction_creator england
garrisoned_army
unit Peasant Archers exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit Spear Militia exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit Spear Militia exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
building
{
type core_building wooden_pallisade
}
building
{
type barracks town_guard
}
building
{
type hinterland_roads roads
}
}

Cork is Munster_Province btw

@Jorisof Holland: wrong, if you do so, the units will be controlled by the player not the rebels

I helped out AI factions by giving them troops in their settlements, so it works. Maybe not for empety settlements, but it does work for AI characters and settlements with troops in it.

[cedric37]

Ok my apologyzes, i thought the settlement was empty. I f you do so in an empty settlement it becames yours

@LethaL: check out the carriage returns ? And try to avoid a named character maybe, you can put an unnamed captain (check in descr_strat you'll see many unnamed generals).

[JorisofHolland]

Ok my apologyzes, i thought the settlement was empty. I f you do so in an empty settlement it becames yours

You get me wrong, if you say it doesn't work for empty settlements it won't work. I though you said adding troops to the AI is not possible with create_unit, but you didn't.

[cedric37]

Err, no problems mate, anyway what you told is right

EDIT/ BTW nice pic you get as an avatar

[LethaL]

i changed some units and it worked...now i can start playing

Thank you all for the help

Those files are in the March update.

Install march update then apply the BGRIV folder and optionally the BGRIV ai folder.

[tono4850]

I have installed SS 6.2RC4 Feb28 patch and BGR4.Can I install a march update over it?(to remove TO bug)
