Can i put the heros in historical battle?

[Wesserd]

Hey everyone!

i have download the historical battle of Helms deep.
and i wanted to put Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas as Generals in it.
with rohan axemen or something.

how can i do that?

You need to add the line: battle_model aragorn in the general's line to give him the battle model of aragorn. The same for Gimil and Legolas. I dont know how to add a new army to the battle though...

you can also add the line "portait Aragorn" to give him aragorn's portrait.

Wow thanks!
now i have another question about the same hist. battle, they attack with, only catapults en balliastas, but when i change it, to attach_ladder_engine, it crashed when they put the ladders on the wall, what to do?

Edit: where do i put that line? and only battle_model aragorn? because he need some bodyguard?

Thanks!

so, i have this line:
character Theoden, general, male, age 20, x 229, y 258

and then i put 3 other lines under it,
for example, character Aragorn, general, male, age 45, x 230, y 270

if you write "general" you will get "captain Aragorn".
you have to write "named character" to have "Aragorn".
however, i don't know what you should do to have more than one general in the same army.

His bodyguards will be the unit that is under him. No need to define or add a new unit.

About the ladder, are you sure you wrote this in the correct place? And it should be: , attach_engine ladder.

thats right. i never tried out the battle models but i'm about to start on new
historical battles (Helms Deep 2.0, and some others) for the 1.5 release.
i will get the battle model working than i guess.

for a second named character i guess you have to add specifications to a unit
in the unit list of a general. but i'm not sure. i will try it out and let you know when i succeed.

allrigth, thanks.
it will be great if it succeed, Aragorn, Gimli en Legolas in helms deep hist. battle.
for i know, there is also a model of Theoden & Haldir if I am rigth.

i check this topic every day so i see it when its done.

everyone thnaks for the help so far!

In that hist battle, the castle is an ambient settlement (eg Rohan doesn't own it). The gates will actually open for the Uruks. So the AI can't cope with attacking a neutral settlement with ladders. I believe this may be the cause of the crash.

im gonna try is later, first breakfast.

jan, are you going to make the battle lore accurate or will you have elves like in the first version?
it would be nice to see Gandalf and Ekreband charge with 1000 dismounted men

in my recent version i tried to be as lore accurate as possible. go check it out.
but yeah, in the next version i will try to add everything that is possible both in the battle
editor and by scripting. i will start a new thread by than to let everyone help me on staying
lore accurate in these battles.
