Total Diplomacy v1.8.4 (Forced Diplomacy, Taking Allied Forts, Allied Allies, Osgiliath Ferry, Ally Invade) [3.2 compatible]

[Withwnar]

Just a bit of fun...

During MOS-merging I was testing the Guide models. The result was a photo shoot at the 2980 Convention of Guides of the Rammas Echor.

[Macilrille]

Guide parties are always fun, I have attended some. Guides as a general rule are young and extroverted, and like to party, have fun, drink, be merry and ... fornicate.

Not these Guides. "Drink" maybe and that's about it.

[Macilrille]

*Sends some Danish guides your way to entertain the stern and dour men of Minas Tirith...

[Re_Minder]

Is it possible to somehow make it work with Baron Samedi's compillation? I'm only interested in Forced Diplomacy part.

[Withwnar]

If you only want Forced then have a look at the "generic" one. The link is under the title in the OP.

Probably safest to add it manually instead of using the zip attachment. It's quite simple to do.

That thread could do with a bump so leaving a comment would be helpful. Something along the lines of "Perfect; this is just what I was looking for. Thanks very much Withwnar. You're an absolute legend! +rep"

I have actually worked this out by adding the needed script manually (great work on explaining how to do it for vanilla M2/Kingdoms, that was really useful ). All works, this is a VERY useful script to fix the stupidity of AI, so.... you f'ing rock

[Withwnar]

Good man, thanks. Happy to help.

[Withwnar]

I was actually playing some TATW the other day and was reminded of a Black Gate problem: "you shall not pass" if another faction owns it, even an ally.

I'm wondering if something similar to the Rammas Echor solution might be of interest to anyone...

[Ngugi]

Other than perhaps Rhûn I dont know if any other faction actually could need it, and then it might be little gain in doing the work it requires?

[Withwnar]

I was thinking more along the lines of when one good faction has the Black Gate and you (another good faction) wants to get through.

[Ngugi]

Ah, true, if both Minas Morgul and Black Gate is taken by other faction Mordor is closed to you, which in some kind of 'Last Alliance'-consideration is odd, they should let you trough ^^

[Withwnar]

Exactly. Hmm, Minas Morgul has the same problem yes? It's been a long time since I was in that part of the neighbourhood.

[Ngugi]

Can you pass trough a settlement? While BG is just a fort as Rammas (if I remember correct) Minas M. is a castle that blocks the way..?

[Withwnar]

No, you can't pass through another faction's settlement. Black Gate is a settlement.

[Ngugi]

No, you can't pass through another faction's settlement. Black Gate is a settlement.

Bad. Thought the gate itself was a fort with a/the settlement close behind, something in line with how it is at Morias gates. Well then!

[Withwnar]

Just a heads up: MOS 6.0 includes v1.4 of this submod. Those who are interested in both this and MOS probably already knew that.

A separate download of this submod will not be required for MOS 6.0.

[Withwnar]

New version released: v1.5.

Mainly cosmetic...

Hero of the West has been on my case about the vanilla-M2TW-looking event pictures. And fair enough too; they did look very Medieval II.

All event pictures have been redone. Still not quite what I had in mind but much better.

There is also a fix that prevents Hungary from appearing in the Faction Rankings scroll.

These will probably be included in the next MOS release (6.12? 6.2?).

(Attachments: the old one is on the left.)

[Vifarc]

New version released: v1.5

Is that for MOS 6.11? or for vanilia?

[Withwnar]

As T.D. is now included in MOS I won't be releasing any standalone versions for MOS. Instead new versions will be added to MOS releases.

If you want the new pics now in MOS then you can just copy the data\ui\southern_european\eventpics folder into MOS.
