300 WoS; General discussion and feedback.

[inquisitor]

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.

[Nachox]

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]

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

    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:

    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.

[makanyane]

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

[Athenogoras]

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]

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

[Aradan]

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.

[Nachox]

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

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

[Aradan]

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

[Spartan198]

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

[Legio]

Thracians are badass. That is all.

[Killerbee]

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: 

(You know , the liberation of Southern greece and the western isles)

, and now my economy finally starts boosting , the Persians are there Nonetheless , neat mod !

[Halie Satanus]

H/H is, imo, impossible. Once the Persians reach Larissa you'll always be fighting a defensive war.

Good luck.

Thracians are badass. That is all.

I like those little Thracian units as well.

[Darth_Revan]

is it me or do the persian soldiers refuse to die at Thermopylae

[Aradan]

Immortals are tough nuts to crack. The others do die.

[Darth_Revan]

i butchered them in the classical version, but yeah ur right in the movie version they are pretty tough

[Spartan198]

Yeah, movie Immortals are real demons (no pun intended )

Anywho, Cretan hoplites and archers would make a nice addition.

[Nachox]

yeah i was starting to think that they are hell overpowered ( sparta hippeis vs inmortals winer: chan chan chan chaaaan inmortals ¬¬) but i realized that in 300 inmortals were the only ones who kills some spartans!
