Using a spare faction to preserve "destructible" pre-placed forts
First, let me begin by stating that this method is not my original idea. Taiji posted the method, which he read from somewhere else (I think) so the original idea isn't mine. Nonethelsse, I thought that it would be best to sum up what to do.
THis tutorial will show how to have buildable wooden forts while still having "permanent" preplaced stone forts on the battlefield.
What you will need:
Decr_REgions
the region map
Descr_Strat
Campaign script
a spare faction
knowledge about descr_strat (
knowledge about forts (link: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=360928)
First, open the map you want to add forts to and find the location of the fort. I would keep the map open as a reference.
Go to descr_regions and add the fort to the region:
region [region_name]farming_level [number]famine_threat [number]fort 176 217 stone_fort_a culture northern_european
Then open decr_strat and add a new faction at the bottom of the factions list. In the characters section, add spies to every fort location:
faction fortifier, balanced_smith
ai_label default
denari 1000
denari_kings_purse 100
character FortBlah, spy, male, age 18, x 176, y 217
traits GoodSpy 5 , NaturalSpySkill 3
Note that the coordinates are the same as the fort's. This is important.
Then, go to the campaign script and add this:
FreezeFactionAI fortifier
this will prevent the spies from moving or aging.
FInally, add your new "faction" to descr_sm_factions:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

If there are already preplaced forts, tehn you'll need to change the decr_campaign_db

</settlement>
change the bolded lines to "true" if they are set to "false."
