[RS 2.1a] Legion ancillaries

[drecie14]

ok...
after reading the post "Ancillaries Question" by terzer,
I made this submod...

-this was based on the SPQR mod's "Legate Ancillaries"
-General's can receive the "Legion Ancillary"
-Available only after you have the "Marian/Imperial Reforms" and built the Curia Hostilia
-This is still Beta/version 1 so if you guys found any bugs, just inform me
I have tested it, but I haven't found any bugs yet...I will make further tests just to be sure
-MAKE BACKUPS of the files you will replace
-This is for RS 2.1 Rome 0-turn and Rome 1-turn
EDIT:REUPLOADED THE FILE. RS 2.1a compatible...
-Delete map.rwms after you install this
-PROVEN NOT TO BE SAVE-GAME COMPATIBLE

HOW TO INSTALL
-extract the RAR file
-choose which of the versions you would like to use
-copy the files from the version "x"(example: version 1.0) folder to your RTW/RS2 directory(where you installed RS2

(NOTE:To install this for 1-turn, simply paste the files and folders from the submod's Play_Rome Folder to the Play_Rome 1-turn Folder)

-List of cities where a general can get the ancillary(version 1.5 alternative)

(note:"early bird gets the early worm" for example: the first general who goes to Genoa gets the II Augusta, 2nd general who goes to Genoa gets the III Gallica, last one will get the V Alaudae)

LEGIO I GERMANICA-Arretium
LEGIO II AUGUSTA-Genoa
LEGIO III AUGUSTA-Messana
LEGIO III GALLICA-Genoa
LEGIO IX HISPANIESIS-Emporiae
LEGIO V ALAUDAE-Genoa

yup.......I was thinking about doin it but did not have time as I work on sort of an expansion for Rome Campaign. Very good...one thing less to care about..
Iam curious how it work in citys where the player can recruit lots of different Legions.
Whats the logical syntax of granting the ancillaries?
In SPQR there is no confusion as there is just 1 Legion per City.
When the time comes I would like to include it with the expansion Iam working on.
Still a bit of work though....

[drecie14]

i did it...
there are 2 in Genoa, 3 in Alexandria, etc.
ExcludedAncillaries condition worked

i'll update a list of cities where you can get them

Try make things not to complicated.
I would assign 1 ancilliearie to 1 city closest position to Italy where a certain Legion can be trained...so there would only be 28 citys to get them.
as dvk said...the more complicated it gets the more likely it will mess up something else..

[drecie14]

that could work
this is still beta anyway...so a few tests and fixes might do the trick
i'll do that in version 2

thanks for pointing that out chris10

No prob..
Iam really interested in see this work in a reliable, stable and uncomplicated form.

And make sure to add 1 for a Praetorian Commander to get in Rome !!!

"early bird gets the early worm"

you are german......nur der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm

i will do my best to make this submod work perfectly

oh...im not german
im asian a filipino to be exact

[chris10]

but you live in germany or have other sort of contact with germans otherwise you could no get to this spelling

[drecie14]

nope...im in asia i nver went to Germany yet though i have thought about it
i nver had any contact with Germans yet, if you're German, then you'd be the first

it was in an old elementary textbook of mine

...ok..I was stunned in a funny way because this a old german splling which the older tell the younger when they dont want to get up in the morning...

Ok..listen..I gave it a quick thought...Making the Ancilliaries available through the Curia is to late for the hamata legions...
at this stage of the game the player is very advanced in most cases...
better tie the ancilliearies for the hamata legions to the roman fortress and the segmentata ones to the curia obviously...but the hamata ancilliearies should be available earlier...

[drecie14]

same thing they taught us when we were kids...

i will upload a version 1.1 of this changing the Curia to a Roman Fortress
It's getting pretty late here in Asia...almost 12am
i'll do it first thing in the morning

BTW as for the praetorians, i'll look for a good banner to use as an ancillary image

[toluas]

Great work, guys!
+rep to both of you

[chris10]

Ok..I gave it little whirl and Iam suggesting 1 Legion Ancillarie per City per Legion ( so never doubled or it will be a mess )...
There are 28 citys where to get them.
Hamata Legions tied to Roman Fortress
Segmentata Legions tied to Curia
I upload a map and the list of Legion Numbers and their corresponding Citys.
That would be the most simple and maybe the most reliable thing to do.
The hamata ones (RED) being the early ones can be obtained all around Italy and the areas the player conquers first
and the Segemtata ones in the later empire (YELLOW).
I did not went thu your entire list but I think its very similar...
As well I add you the Praetorian Symbol for the ancillary.
What do you think?

Iam really happy that you are going to take care of the Legion Ancillaries so I dont have to do it and can focus on the Garrison Script and other things I plan for the Rome Campaign Expansion.
So upfront +rep

Great work, guys!
+rep to both of you

very kind...

[terzer]

Super!!! I'm very glad, that this mod is complete! l strongly recommend this mod to be included in the next patch!
+rep

[drecie14]

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE
Version 1.1 is out

-Hamata Legions' Ancillaries for Roman Fortress
-Lorica Legions' Ancillaries for the Curia Hostilia
-1 ancillary per city

-I still included a copy of version 1.0(updated of course) with Hamata and Lorica ancillaries separated(see above line 1 and 2) but you can still get 2 or 3 legion ancillaries in a city

(note:Still testing version 1.0, I haven't found any bugs or CTDs yet...it's my 19th turn and still nothing funny)
Im determined to make 2 or 3 ancillaries work out...

-Praetorians to be released in version 1.2

off topic question...
i'm new here
i hope you guys don't mind if i ask this...
"What's a +rep?"

[toluas]

Rep or reputation is a means of showing your approval to someone for doing sth. good, saying sth. clever, being helpful...nothing fancy, but in theory, a measure of your standing community-wise. (And it shows in the crowns or laurels beneath your post count.)

thank you very much

[toluas]

Np.

[Beetlecat]

What a delightful addition this mod is to RSII... Thank you so much for whipping this up, drecie14.

-And i'm amused to no end that you're cranking out a full-fledged sub-mod but unaware of what all these "+rep" references were all about.


I haven't tried it yet -- but what is the effect if a general has the max # of ancillaries already and visits the city? Does the ancillary simply wait for the first *available* general?
Are they transferable? What happens upon the general's death?
