[Archaon]

Here you go mate, Campaign_script.txt remains the same.
descr_strat.txt merged and attached.

Sohn des Khaine (or rather GreenEyedDevil) keeps all credit for the aging mod.

[Walkman810i]

Thanks mate, I was about to ask the same thing as Hross

[Hengest]

hmm every time I press start in the campaign screen it takes me back to the main menu

[Archaon]

that is very odd.. All i did was down load his descr_strat, go to the diplomacy section, and copy my settings exactly as they are in my file.

the only thing i can think is causing this is an old map.rwm...

[Point Blank]

Hi mate, can I include this in the next RC release please? Very useful mod

[Archaon]

no worries

[SigniferOne]

Real nice!! +rep

[Archaon]

Hi Sig1,
This is included in TA:TW 1.1 and will be in all versions there after, so this thread is basically dead.. unless one day there is a bug found (doubt it ).

Thank you for the kind apreciation and REP

If you would like to use the files for PI either RTW or M2 follow the links in my sig

EDIT:
Updated scripted codes found in the M2TW version of this mod. attached and added to OP.

EDIT2:

Attached new files; (not added to the OP)
cursor_action_tooltips.txt (7.0 KB)
descr_cursor_actions.txt (33.7 KB)
descr_cursor_tooltips_lookup.txt (1.1 KB)

These offer new tool tips to tell the player that if the send a spy/assassin against an ally, it is a hostile act and may break the alliance.

Archaon's Loyal Allies Modification

Version 2.0

For TA:TW 2.1


Over the past months I have been approached by several concerned members of the community that the original version did not do what it intended exactly.
Together with tests and aggressive log file investigations it is in fact true that the original Version of this mod

ONLY EFFECTED THE HUMAN PLAYED FACTION

Therefore i made it my personal responcibility to

FIND A PROPER SOLUTION

Today i present that solution, in the form
descr_campaign_ai_db.xml file.
The file has a AI set coded for each faction, that allows

TRUE UNBREAKABLE ALLIANCES

And several other aspects of the AI's defending and invading decision making that is crucial to make a proper Middle Earth campaign experience.
Below I have supplied a tiered representation of what the modified file will do;

INDEX
----------------------> Unbreakable Alliance
------------------> Unlikely to break Alliance
------------> Prime Enemy Target
-------> Secondry Enemy Target
--> Normal Enemy Target

Factions and the AI Attitude's towards each faction;

GONDOR
----------------------> Arnor, Rohan.
------------------> Dale, Dwarves, SE, HE, Eriador.
------------> Mordor.
-------> Harad.
--> Isengard, Rhun, OOG, OOTMM.


ROHAN
----------------------> Gondor.
------------------> Dale, Dwarves, SE, HE, Eriador, Arnor.
------------> Mordor
-------> Isengard
--> Harad, Rhun, OOG, OOTMM


DALE
----------------------> Dwarves.
------------------> Rohan, Gondor, SE, HE, Eriador, Arnor.
------------> Mordor
-------> Rhun
--> Harad, Isengard, OOG, OOTMM


DWARVES
----------------------> Dale, HE.
------------------> Gondor, SE, Eriador, Rohan, Arnor.
------------> OOTMM
-------> OOG, Rhun.
--> Harad, Isengard, Mordor.


ERIADOR
----------------------> HE
------------------> Gondor, Dale, SE, Dwarves, Rohan, Eriador.
------------> OOG
-------> OOTMM.
--> Harad, Isengard, Rhun, Mordor.


HIGH ELVES
----------------------> SE, Dwarves.
------------------> Gondor, Dale, Arnor, Rohan, Eriador.
------------> Mordor
-------> Isengard.
--> Harad, OOG, OOTMM, Rhun.


SILVAN ELVES
----------------------> HE.
------------------> Gondor, Dale, Arnor, Rohan, Dwarves, Eriador.
------------> Mordor
-------> Isengard.
--> Harad, OOG, OOTMM, Rhun.


ARNOR
----------------------> Gondor.
------------------> Dale, Dwarves, SE, HE, Rohan.
------------> Mordor
-------> Isengard
--> Harad, Rhun, OOG, OOTMM


MORDOR
ISENGARD
OOTMM
OOG
HARAD
RHUN

All the above are to be coded ASAP, I am open for suggestions at this point.

Attached file is for all those who would like to investigate the changes i have made. I have clearly labeled the areas i created/edited and also added a comment of that change is supposed to do.

NOTE: THIS FILE DOES NOTHING USED ALONE - DO NOT USE IT IN GAME

Futher modding is required to get this all to work and the final release will be made shortly.

[koultouras]

the script lord is back in business....
wellcome lad!

[Archaon]

Turn 50

Turn 100



The correct factions are focusing all their aggressiveness on the enemies that are based on lore FINALLY!
Its a struggle! and surprisingly the vanilla balancing is near perfect!

[Beorn]

great job, Archaon!

[TiFlo]

This is definitely looking nice!

[Skeleton Of The West]

Great work Archaon!!

[Archaon]

Update Update Update

These will not be the starting diplomatic stances, the below are the attitude decisions.
For example, the "want alliance while warring" means that when the faction is at war with another faction they will badly want to make and alliance with the faction, and for "unbreakable" and "good" alliances, these will only take effect after the alliance is made so basically the allies will either never consider breaking or hardly consider breaking the alliance, and another new one "Never Ally" means that the alliance will never be achieved, lastly the "target" attitudes are base on target priority points, there Prime target has the highest points and normal target have low amount of prioity points.

Good Alliance -------------------GA
Want Alliance While Warrring ---WA
Prime Target --------------------PT
