[RS 2.1a] Legion ancillaries

[drecie14]

What a delightful addition this mod is to RSII... Thank you so much for whipping this up, drecie14.

-And i'm amused to no end that you're cranking out a full-fledged sub-mod but unaware of what all these "+rep" references were all about.


I haven't tried it yet -- but what is the effect if a general has the max # of ancillaries already and visits the city? Does the ancillary simply wait for the first *available* general?
Are they transferable? What happens upon the general's death?

np

i have a little know-hows in modding but i recently joined the forums

if the general has the max no. of ancillaries, he won't get it...
he(the general) gets ancillary when he is retrained in the city or in the case of a general unit that can be recruited, already gets it...
if the general dies, the ancillary goes with him but you can get them again in the city...
they are transferable

Is this save-game compatible? Nice submod by the way. Thx!

well...im using it on my Rome saved game...
but i think you have to start a new campaign...

im still testing it, hopefully i'll find those nasty bugs

Darn, I was hoping I didn't have to restart. I finally got the reforms...

I think that's why the Praetorian ancillary isn't showing up in Roma for my general. I'll install this submod once I restart later in the future. Thx again.

this submod is having weird effects on my game.

The game sometimes ctd's for some unexplained reason. But when it doesnt the ancillaries dont work and i get this message when closing RTW.

"Script Error in play_rome/data/export_descr_ancillaries.txt, at line 7197, column 27

Trait not recognized"

I have tried both version 1.0 updated and 1.2 from the v1.3 link and neither work. All i did was drag them into the rome folder and replaced the old files with the new.
Im using some other submods but none of those change anything in the ancillaries files.

EDIT: just realized me governor in Rome also got the "crown of epirus" trait which is a Macedonian trait. drecie14 i forgot to back up the original files. you don't think you could post the original files for me?

Uuuuuuuhhhhh....thats not a good message ...

did you change anything manually in that file ????
....a simple "space" or a "comma" or any other insignificant thing can cause fatal errors

[Imperator_OfRome]

I didn't change any files in any folder of RTW. i didn't even open them. i simply downloaded the file, and copied and replaced them into their respective folder.

Im not sure whats happening. i just started another campaign to try andf get it to work. I managed to get the ancillaries system working with a general with the gemina legion trait and no crash this time. yet when i leave the game i still get the error message.

dont know mate...this error has nothing to do with the Legion Ancillaries...
Its a different section....

you get his error because your roman governour should not get this..the error is because this trait is unknown for the roman culture
maybe has to do witht he praetorian ancillaire...just guessing...Drecie...you should have a close look if there are ancillaires are tied to some others somehow..maybe the triggers and did you check the ancillaires with this?

there are no differences between the EDA in "Play_Rome" folder and the EDA in Play_Rome 1-turn folder

though if you do find something wrong...please give me an immediate feedback

Can a general get more than one of the ancillaries?

I noticed that you had Dyrachium (So hard to spell) have an ancillary tied to it but in my game I can't recruit any legions in that city and I have all they way to Roman Fortress and Curia Hostilia

Then you're missing a building; Rome can definitely build a Legion there - Flavia Felix, IIRC.

Theoretically yes but....
why would you want a general having more than 1 ancillaries when he can only command 1 army ???? ...
The idea of 1 ancillary per city is to avoid that the player forgets about a general in a settelment and wasting various ancillariers on 1 general maybe even somebody with bad traits for example.
As toluas pointed out there is a Legion in Dyrrachium but it is a Segmentata One....so you have to have a Curia.

i tried this on the first beta of this submod (not the beta i released)
i tied the ancillaries to Rome
really amusing to find a general with max. command stars, has 6 of those legion ancillaries and can move from Rome to Carthago Nova in just 1 turn

historically Caesar was a general who commanded a lot of Legions...
it is possible for a general to get another legion ancillary...but as chris10 said
"why would you want a general having more than 1 ancillaries when he can only command 1 army ???? .."


The Flavia Felix ancillary is available only if you have built the Curia Hostilia

[Espadas:Benson]

where do you extract it to?
