Adjusting Heretic/Witch spawn locations, likelihood

[TaronQuinn]

I am thinking of changing the Heretic and Witch models (NOT their attributes or abilities). Mostly, because the Heretic is a Christian-derived hermit or something, and its awkward having them appear in Islamic or Pagan lands.

I want to give the Heretic a model to look like a scholar, and spawn mostly in the northern/Christian locales.

The Witch will get a new model as either a Islamic mystic or vaguely shamanistic priest/witchdoctor, and will spawn mostly in Islamic or pagan lands. Their effects on ill-health for characters is not an issue for me.

I searched all through the forums, and have found many interesting threads about "new agents" and "heretics/witches recruitable" or "scripted", but nothing about what file I can go into to alter a percentage or otherwise influence where. Even if its just altering the conditions under which they spawn might be useful.

Otherwise, I can just set up a basic script of my own and have them pop up under moe varied circumstances and associated with various buildings and events. Might I would like to avoid, if at all possible, the random appearance of a "Sufi Mystic" in Scotland, and a "Heretical Scholar" in Baghdad; even if such things wouldn't be beyond the realm of historical occurrence.

Thank you in advance,

TQ

descr_campaign_db is probably your best bet.

You should remove (set the rate to zero) the spawning in descr_campaign_db and then set up some spawning conditions in the script.

Ah, thank you. I completely overlooked that file. And Gigantus, you're right, I'll have to disable the regular spawning, and set up scripted spawning based on events. Heretics/Scholars spawn when certain building built; Witches/Mystics spawn when other buildings or character traits gained....so many options haha.

Thank you both.

TQ
