Night Battles on RTRPE.

**ro6ertj** · October 20, 2008, 04:01 PM

Hi, first post, sorry if this had been asked before!
When starting a battle on RTRPE the screen gives an option of 'Night Battle' how does this work/happen?
Do I need to do something to allow this?
Cheers.
PS. RTRPE fantastic mod, has made a good game great !

You can trigger night battles when attacking, if one of your Family Members is a general of that army, and has the trait 'Night Fighter." In a night battle, your general gets a small boost to their command skill, and enemy reinforcements are often unable to join the battle.

It only works where you are the one starting the fight, and I'm not sure if/how you can get a family member to get this trait.

I think that every general gets that trait when he gets enough experience. So, practice with your generals...:-)

The trait you are looking for is NightBattleCapable. It gets added to any general with 4+ command stars. It also gets added to any general with 1+ command stars who wins a night battle, which implies that they are attacked by an enemy general who has the triat.

These are the complete triggers:

Code:

Trigger diet_of_carrots_1
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnStart

    Condition Trait NightBattleCapable = 0
          and IsGeneral
          and Attribute Command >= 4

    Affects NightBattleCapable  6  Chance  100 

;------------------------------------------
Trigger diet_of_carrots_2
    WhenToTest PostBattle

    Condition IsGeneral
          and Attribute Command >= 1
          and IsNightBattle
          and Trait NightBattleCapable = 0
          and WonBattle

    Affects NightBattleCapable  6  Chance  100

I didn't know about this other way, that's great. Cheers!
