Few questions regarding Attila´s campaign map and its moddability

**LordKainES** · May 06, 2017, 06:09 AM

I´ve been digging into Attila´s campaign map and I found some details I don´t like...

1-No walled Jerusalem... are you able to solve that? could you change it? I think for the republican period, Jerusalem should be the capital of Palestina.

2- Greece is quite empty, specially south... it is possible to add new regions??? I miss Athens...

3- And the last one, Sicily... would be nice to have at least 2 cities in the island with Syracusa as the capital... and of course being Sicily a province itself (Sure this one its completely impossible hehe).

You know in Shogun 2 it is possible to add new regions... but in Rome 2/Attila I´m not quite sure... since the system has changed.

Thank you in advance!!!

You can't edit map in last few TW games.

We can't edit those things, hence why we changed the time line to where Sicily, Greece and illyria weren't as important anymore

I imagined... so making Jerusalem walled city at least, impossible right?

I believe we can, and are, looking into doing this.

Hope that... being not moddable the Province system, at least, that you could change which city has walls...

Thanks Petellius!

Should have used the IA map from Rome 2... it's portable, and has more provinces than the Attila map (I counted).

You say that it's portable. Is it? Can you please show us how to port it?

I hope he's right, the rome map certainly had a fair bit more to it.

Having Rome's provinces would indeed make more sense in this time period.

Pretty sure the guy has no clue and is just speaking garbage. He's ignored me here and ignored my PMs on the matter of porting the map.

Porting maps would be a time consuming and risky proposition for a mod that already bit off quite a bit and has struggled to release. It's always something I wanted to explore down the road if I ever have the time, but it wasn't a smart idea in my view when starting the Attila project.

In terms of adding walls - it is possible. We can do custom battle maps. We *should* be able to get siege options and such displayed and into the right battle map in campaign. And Mitch already removed walls from the campaign map in Rome II. The last part is a sticking point as it's not an easy process and involves manually editing the startpos after decompiling it. Then guess work.

What do you mean by this?

With this, you can decompile a startpos file and recompile it. It gives you quite a bit more flexibility than simple esf editors or the AK. Mitch manually edited the wall information for Sparta after CA released WOS on Rome II removing its walls.

I have confirmed, with a custom map of Jerusalem, it is walled and the campaign map treats it as a walled city. No need to worry on that.

FYI - all of our cities will be walled, minor and major, at least to start off. Future releases of the mod will have the integrated feature to transition cities from not walled to walled and vice versa, but the first step is getting cities in place that are true to the era, but not necessarily the time-frame of the how far along a city is in the construction que, if that makes sense.
