Garrison Script for LATE ERA

[pilatus]

Hi Folks,

first of all I would like to thank you KK for this wonderful mod.
I played many hours of DLV but the "Late Era" of SS is such amazing!
The Late Area is the only Campaign i've played... on H/H

One bad thing seems that the CAI uses to let it's castles/cities pretty empty....to encounter that I wrote this

Garrison Script
the script works only for the "Late Era" combined with my modfied descr_strat! and the text files

The things I've modified extra:

- another income script included
- kings purse tuned down for some factions (in descr_strat)
- modified empires (in descr_strat)
- the capital of the milan faction is genoa and the faction is called "lega lombarda"
- additional "Independant Kingdoms" (Slave Faction)
(Belgrad-Sofia-Uppsala-Prague-Timbuktu-Florence-Tbilisi-Adana)
- more movement points for characters, diplomats...etc.
- fixed the config_battle_ai (reported by xeryx)


free to use...have fun!
please report any bugs

- additional "Independant Kingdoms" (Slave Faction)
(Belgrad-Sofia-Uppsala-Prague-Timbuktu-Florence-Tbilisi-Adana)

So rebels are playable? or am I misinterpreting this?

[pilatus]

sorry no,
the described provinces are in the control of slave - they have additional garrisons and reflect the kingdoms in this era

I'm trying the config_ai_battle.xml. Thanks.

[Banzai!]

What was the problem (reported by xeryx) with the old config_battle_ai?

[Americanus Supremus]

Sounds great. Just wondered how much it may slow down the people with slower rigs.... Thanks for your work

[Caesar Clivus]

Does this slow down AI turns at all?

it slow down the ai a little bit...but not very much because it is not such a huge script like in DLV
only the capitals are garrisoned and the few slave cities

@banzai: by xeryx in the bug report thread

KK you have a problem with the Values in the config_ai_battle.xml
I tried to pm you, however NR. The only thing I am concerned with ATM is the Battle analyzer

<battle-analyser>
<!-- ratio of friendly to enemy strength to be considered more powerful -->
<friendly-to-enemy-strength-ratio>1.0</friendly-to-enemy-strength-ratio> Needs to be at least 1.5 - 2.5
<!-- ratio of friendly to enemy melee strength to be considered overwhelmingly powerful -->
<enemy-melee-strength-multiplier>3.0</enemy-melee-strength-multiplier>
<!-- ratio of enemy to friendly ranged strength to be considered overwhelmingly powerful -->
<friendly-ranged-strength-multiplier>0.5</friendly-ranged-strength-multiplier> Way wrong should be 1.5 to 2.5
<!-- ratio of friendly strength to enemy ranged strength to force attack -->
<friendly-ranged-strength-divisor>4.0</friendly-ranged-strength-divisor> looks like these numbers got transposed should be .5 to .8
<!-- distance behind the defensive line the enemy must reach to be considered to have broken through -->
<enemy-position-buffer-distance>25</enemy-position-buffer-distance>
</battle-analyser>

It really affects the XAI, making the AI very passive.
I have modded one if you want it. Many of
the battle analyzers are incorrect. I modded mine awhile ago, it wasn't
until I installed the patch that I noticed it.
