Limited amount of forts?

**barcamartin** · August 10, 2009, 06:24 AM

The permanent stone forts are cool and all, but I have never liked them being "that permanent". For me, if they remained 5-10 turns without garrison would be enough.

The real bugger for me though, is that there is a limit on them. I admit, I have built loads(playing alot of hotseats does strange things to your mind) and they really help slow/halt enemy attacks. But now, ~100 turns in, I can no longer build any. And that SUCKS. Is there anyway to edit the files to either make the forts less permanent or remove the limit?

PS: I know there is no such thing as "more or less permanent", but you get the idea.

Please can somebody upload permanent stone forts mod, i cant find it anywhere and link in its own section doesnt work anymore.

I got it with SS 6.2. I'm not sure it's a limit though, might be something with the patch itself since I reinstalled all SS patches today. Sucks either way.

I have 6.1 and do not want SS 6.2, but iwant stone forts, so far i have only wooden gay ones.

how many have you build to reach that limit?

check your descr_campaign_db.xml in your SS6 data folder

<destroy_empty_forts bool="true"/>
<can_build_forts bool="true"/>

Oh, thanks bane!! Those lines had somehow changed to "false" during my re-patch, and changing them to "true" solved the problem! Turns out there is no limit, just tricky files to handle.

Guess nobody play with stone forts then..............

**barcamartin** · August 11, 2009, 04:47 AM

Why don't you want 6.2 ?

**Radious** · August 11, 2009, 06:21 AM

I dislike changes made there.

I guess that if you have the line <destroy_empty_forts_bool="false"/> they should remain. Read bane_tw's post above for the file, can't be arsed typing it.

I can't edit the XML, so what do I do? (I know that I'm a total noob at this

)

Yep with "false" the forts remain even if you leave no units to defend but everyone can march in and take over.
@juanjeras
Dont know how to make them disapear after more then one turn and to be honest my guess is that the engine simply checks if a fort has units in it and if not destroys it without using a counddown (4 turns to self-destruct......). Maybe best to check the mod tutorial section for more info or confirmation
