freeze_faction_ai

I just want to know what this line does in the campaign_scripts.

Code:

 
 
        freeze_faction_ai

Thanks

Exactly what it says: it freezes the AI led faction. Most famous case being the Aztecs. The said script disables the Aztecs to do anything until they are contacted. Seeing that their building tree is restricted to one building it makes a lot of sense. Else you wouldn't be able to move in the Americas because of the amount of stacks.

If I delete this line will something happen ?

If you manage to keep the script working you should be able to see the Aztecs running around. Make a backup of the script before you do anything with it.

This entry will than be of no value except to play a cute movie:

Code:

        ;-- Aztecs contacted --
        monitor_event ObjSeen  TargetFactionType aztecs
                               and not FactionType slave
                unfreeze_faction_ai aztecs
                add_events
					event	counter	disable_no_brigands
        			date	0
					event	counter	disable_no_pirates
        			date	0
       			end_add_events
                historic_event aztecs_contacted event/aztecs_contacted.bik
                terminate_monitor
        end_monitor

The movie will still play and the triggers will be fired, but due to the fact that the Aztecs are up and running for a couple of hundred years you can expect to be utterly squashed if you try to defeat them.
