Re: Scripting Ideas
Hey, is there a way to influence the building activity of watch towers by the AI? Is there something like an "watch tower building rate" that can be reduced or anything comparable?
I really don´t like to be surrounded by a forrest of watch towers especially when I have conquered the terrain they´re built on and I can´t destroy them.
Any ideas?

Because they look like pimples on the face of the beautiful landscape you designed...Originally Posted by Hister
I just don´t want them in my property... I rather like to build a fort and place a spy in it than a watch tower... why were they concepted anyway like that... why are they indestructable? Doesn´t make sense to me...

If you want to stop the AI from building them, all you have to do is make them extremely expensive.

Re: Scripting Ideas
He he, nice little trick - we won't make those watchtowers expensier though so Argyri you'll have to do it yourself.
P.S. Hmm, maybe I can raise the cost with the explanation that making border watch actually isn't as cheap as vanilla suggests
P.S.2. Cost raised to 450. Argyri, if you want to completely get rid of them give them 9999 cost

Re: Scripting Ideas
Ok, I think if you can´t destroy watch towers a price of 9999 is not to much for them... I mean indestroyable... icome on...Argyri, if you want to completely get rid of them give them 9999 cost
I still am wondering why CA made them like that... somebody should write the guys there some lines...

From post 1
So to realise this, you don't need to create a script, and i don't believe a script can afford this.Quote:

So at 3rd city hall building you can build ambassador post, it would allow you to call for aid from sparta in the way of now being able to receive said troops in 5 turns. At 4th city hall upgrade you could build ambasador villa, reducing the time to 3 turns. And finally at 5th city hall upgrade you can build Bouleuterion or town council chambers/court house, reducing the time to 2 turns. The turn delay acts like prestige, bigger cities don't have to wait as long for help.
But, if PI has still enough unit blocks available in edu, then you just only need to code the same Spartan unit with different names (first line), and with different training times each. Then just set them up into the different edb buildings as recruitment. Easy to do, as said, if enough unit space in edu available.

Man, you can make that lowered recruitment SO EASILY in MTW2:Kingdoms.....

Re: Scripting Ideas
500 entries in EDU
255 entries in DMB
and a maximum of 32 units(excluding agents) recruitable by each faction from a single settlement/region.

Re: Scripting Ideas
I don't know if u guys still need help with scripting , and since there are a lot of master modders here , i don't know if it will be necessary , but i'm learning about scripting now (easy scripting tough
I'll give you a sign if i'm good enough

Re: Scripting Ideas
Just learned the very basics , for instance : If i press a certain show me how button , 4 gallic noble cavalry units appear in Arretium (Regardless of wich faction owns arretium .. Ow , it's VanillaNice of you PP, let us know) ... I know half of all RTW players can do this tough , but i'll continue learning

Re: Scripting Ideas
1. Use On_display instead of Script in EDA, then you won't have to press 'Show me how'.Just learned the very basics , for instance : If i press a certain show me how button , 4 gallic noble cavalry units appear in Arretium (Regardless of wich faction owns arretium .. Ow , it's Vanilla
2. Be careful with spawning units like that. If you spawn a unit for a faction it wouldn't normally belong to, there will probably be no texture defined in DMB for that union/faction combination, so you'd then get a missing texture CTD when that unit takes part in a battle.

1. i'm now learning a bit about them , following your guide btw
2. yeah , i know , when they spawned at Arretium , they had 'the grey peasants' syndrom ( unit card s) :S Tested them in a battle tough , and it looked fine (no ctd , or other errors ...)
