Real Alliances Mod 0.5 For TATW 1.4.1

[TNZ]

This mod will, via scripts, make allied factions declare war when their allies are attacked. It works like this:

1. At the start of the game, Gondor is allied with Rohan. Mordor is allied with the Harad and with Rhûn as well. Gondor is already at war with Mordor and the Harad.

2. Gondor and Mordor have just fought a battle. As a result, Rohan declared war on Mordor and Rhûn declared war on Gondor.

If you are playing as Gondor, Rohan, Dale, Eriador, Dwarves, High Elves or the Silvan Elves and are allied with any of the above, you may be ask for help by you allies. You will also be able to see the cities of your allies on the campaign map.

The Dale and the Silvan Elves are allies from the start of the game.

Sounds good! Is it compatible with the other mods?

Also what happens if then :

5. Eriador becomes allied with Rohan?

[Beorn]

sounds nice

[TNZ]

Sounds good! Is it compatible with the other mods?

No. You would need to paste the ‘Good Factions Real Alliances’ and
‘Bad Factions Real Alliances’ scripts into that mod’s campaign_script file and replace the diplomacy section in it’s descr_strat file with the one used in my mod descr_strat file.

Also what happens if then?

5. Eriador becomes allied with Rohan?

Eriador would declare war on Mordor, Harad and Rhûn. But if Rohan made peace with Rhûn before signing an alliance with Eriador, then Eriador would only declared war on Mordor and Harad.

[runner3434]

The really clever thing would be if:

6: Gondor makes peace with Mordor

Then the entire alliance all make peace with each other!

I have no idea if it is feasible though!

[Seleukos_I.]

I don't think that this would be good because then it could happen that very soon no wars are going on in Middle Earth.

[HolyDevil]

then happy cute hippie bunnies would invade middle-earth

OH THE HORROR!!!

Isildur fought at the Battle of Dagorlad in 3441 SA, where he cut the Ring of Power from the Sauron’s hand with Narsil, the broken sword of his father Elendil. Isildur took the Ring of Power for his own, only to be betrayed by it at the Battle of Gladden Fields in 2 TA. There Isildur and his three elder sons were slain.

Excellent, this would be nice to implement.

[Finlander]

This sounds very good.

[Aikanár]

Nice one, but one remark:
The battle of Dagorlad took place in 3434TA.
The fight between Sauron, Elendil (supported by Isildur) and Gil-galad (supported by Cirdan and Elrond) took place on a flank of Orodruin which makes the region Gorgoroth.

Thanks Aikanár. Hopefully, someone who knows a bit more about the lore of Middle Earth will write better descriptions for the Statues of Anárion and Isildur, as well as the White Towers of Emyn Beraid, Durin's Tower and Amon Hen.

This is interesting. Apparently you can spawn a general into a family tree.

	monitor_conditions I_EventCounter aragorn_accepted = 1
	spawn_army 
		faction sicily
		character	Aragorn, named character, age 35, x 236, y 124, family, portrait Aragon, battle_model elessar, hero_ability The_Flower_of_Chivalry
		traits Elessar 1 , GoodCommander 3 , PublicFaith 1 , ReligionStarter 1 , GoodAttacker 1 , Brave 2 , Just 2 , KindRuler 2 , Loyal 2 , VictorVirtue 1
		unit	Gondor Bodyguard		exp 2 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
	end	
		send_character_off_map strider1
		historic_event aragorn_accepted factions { sicily, }
		move_strat_camera 236, 124

[Aikanár]

Yup, I've seen that in c_s and thought the same: very interesting
But for my taste it needs more testing, whether it might be possible to specify where in the family tree a scripted spawn will be added.

[IHV]

Add here the Good vs Evil mod and we be rocking.

[Seleukos_I.]

Now that is very interesting...

I have to second. It would be great if it really works.

[Point Blank]

Yep that is interesting!

I have added a version for TATW 1.4.1. See the first post.
