Overwhelming Evil.

**Hickz** · November 15, 2010, 10:00 PM

This may seem sort of a weird question, but is there a way to make evil factions pump out troops at a faster rate?

I don't mean just a little bit faster but actually make them like create a few stacks every turn.

The idea to me is interesting cause one of my favorite things to do is spawn in 10 stacks or so in Mordor cities and try to hold them as Gondor.

I think a mod that gives Mordor (or other factions) that huge troop advantage would be interesting, simply to see how long you could hold out against overwhelming force.

Any ideas if there is a current submod or way to easily script this?

Mordor had scripts that gave it heaps of stacks coming through osigiliath back in 1.4 but those scripts have been reduced i think.

paste this in your campaign script, change the turn number to whatever turn you want this to start. good luck. this should be three stacks a turn, starting at turn 40.

Ha! That's amazing, gonna give this a try tonight.

Thanks so much!

**eugenioso** · November 16, 2010, 01:15 PM

oh hell no!

first, "OMFG MORDOR OVERSTACK HAX!"

now, "OMFG MORDOR UNDERSTAK HAX!"

it was made like this so mordor wouldnt anihilate gondor in the first 20 turns and so the game wouldnt turn into anihilate 100 orc stacks all the way to the black gate

There's always that one person that think it's too easy.
BTW: Don't forget to remove the script if you're no longer playing Gondor - unless, of course, you want to play the hero and save Gondor from certain death.

**Hickz** · November 16, 2010, 02:38 PM

I understand the logic behind the current game structure. I am not criticizing it at all. For my own experience I want a situation where playing as Gondor is a lost cause.

To me it should feel really risky as Gondor to operate on the Mordor side of the Anduin. This may be an imperfect way to simulate that but *shrug*.

Lord, I still have nightmares from that old stackspam....

I was tearing my hair out and chewing up my hats all the way to Barad Dur as Gondor, and the whole road was basically paved by a humongeous amount of orcs.

It somewhat reminded me of the wrath of Egypt in Stainless Steel where I sent one stack of vikings to take Jerusalem, only to face whole friggin Islam!!

As if Italians weren't bad enough...
