You know, you're not exactly supposed to win it

Though it is possible (not on VH).

**inquisitor** · July 22, 2009, 01:45 PM

I won it,because the battletime was not enough for the persian's.

I know it's not meant to be possible, but the game hints that it is, it says that there is a rich reward for those who do win it. It is not possible on normal settings for me though, the Immortals are too many and too good, and my guys just got flanked and eaten up

You have to mountain camp with the 2 units.So that they never get surrounded..and on guard mode they can take alot!

When my battle was over....Leonides unit was about 110 men and the other 59,and they killed 480.

**Legio** · July 22, 2009, 03:15 PM

Oh man I love this
I liberated Southern Greece

But the Persians are beginning to creep closer and closer to my borders, and I'm scared to attack the Macedonian rebels. The epitagma and the other units scare me

Playing with the movie version.
edit: hell yes, the thracians in this version are great too

**ruthless** · November 15, 2009, 10:01 PM

I think its awesome but sometimes i get a lil confused in the campaign on what to da and i wish there were more troops per unit...

**Nachox** · July 22, 2009, 09:53 PM

is there aniway to remove the script that makes leonidas die after thermopylae? because i win and i want to kill persian scum with leonidas

**Aradan** · July 23, 2009, 07:42 AM

Yes, but it kinda defeats the whole purpose, he's supposed to make the ultimate sacrifice and all...

Go to data/scripts/show_me/300_script.txt and find

Code:

    if I_LocalFaction greek_cities
        if I_WonBattle greek_cities
        console_command kill_character "Leonidas of Sparta"
        console_command add_money greek_cities, 10000

and add a ; in front of the line (2917) that mention Leonidas, so that it reads:

Code:

    if I_LocalFaction greek_cities
        if I_WonBattle greek_cities
        ; console_command kill_character "Leonidas of Sparta"
        console_command add_money greek_cities, 10000

EDIT: Argh, I knew I had forgotten sth. See Mak's post below.

you'd also need to remove his 'stuck' trait from descr_strat - or he won't be going anywhere, even if he lives...
in 300WOS\data\world\maps\campaign\Alexander\descr_strat find:

character Leonidas of Sparta, named character, leader, age 56, , x 75, y 85, portrait Leonidas, strat_model SPARTAN_LEONIDAS, battle_model SPARTAN_LEONIDAS
traits NaturalMilitarySkill 2, GoodCommander 1, BloodHumour 1, Spartan 2, Stuck 1

and delete the bit in red - do what Aradan said above as well - then start new campaign

and no he's really, really, not meant to survive

While we have the scriptmaster here...is Pausanias(from battle of Plataea) also scripted to die. He died for me one turn after the battle. Or is it just the engine(evaluating number of generals), decides I have too many and kills him. In fact I think I lost the other reinforcing general too in the same style(killed just in the beginning of AI turn)

My reinforcing general is still alive and conquering a number of turns after the battle (I lost Pausanias, though

). I was planning on sticking him on a ship and sending him north to intercept and eliminate Xerxes as he retreated back to Persia, but the mission to unite southern Greece put a monkey wrench in that plan and I lost track of the God King after that.

**Legio** · July 23, 2009, 11:15 AM

My Pausanias survived but he found himself in Corinth or in that area, while his army was still near Athens.

**Aradan** · July 23, 2009, 11:38 AM

The Pausanias summoned for the battle (to make the battle have the historically accurate generals) is then killed by the script, so that you don't get to have two guys named like that.

Yea , you'll get a CTD otherwise if i'm not mistaken ..

**Nachox** · July 23, 2009, 02:33 PM

thansks now is time time to kill medes!
love Leonidas True Spartan treat

**Aradan** · July 24, 2009, 10:09 AM

Not really, but it's not accurate to have what is essentially the same character twice.

He could be the WoS version of the Double Mint Twins?

**Legio** · July 24, 2009, 10:47 AM

Thracians are badass. That is all.

**Killerbee** · July 24, 2009, 11:40 AM

I find it pretty hard so far

Playing on H/H , most cities are incontent (blue faces and stuff) , and i've missed both missions by 1 turn (spoiler if you don't wanna know the missions)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

, and now my economy finally starts boosting , the Persians are there

Nonetheless , neat mod !
