Besieged Settlement Script question

[Polycarpe]

I want to make a besieged settlement to be able to recruit specific units (peasant levies for example), is that possible?

Also, another question, is this possible to make a script that, a besieged settlement could surrender through a Yes/No Event and his army would leave? If the besieged force is too small, the script would happen.

Regards.

That would be quite handy, and you could justify it by recruiting directly from your cities population. It doesn't make sense that you cannot recruit even militia while under siege, since Militia are essentially drafted peasants.


I've always wanted to remove the "Attrition" effect of sieges. Would you happen to know anything about that Poly ?

Polycarpe: No, you need to use a script to place units in a besieged settlement. The ‘capture_settlement’ command will evict an AI faction from a settlement and give it to the local faction (human player);

capture_settlement 
Availability:  campaign 
Usage:  capture_settlement <settlement name> : evicts any resident characters and armies and gives the settlement to the local player

console_command capture_settlement Shire

Again TNZ, you help me once again, +rep.

You can write a script that makes it look like you have recruited a unit...

You need a counter/event that happens when a settlement is besieged.

monitor_event SettlementBesieged ( this is spelled wrong but I know it exists in the docudemons )
Condition SettlementName bla ( it could have been I_SettlementName too )
set_counter bla 1
end_monitor

Then in EDB ( as this event is true ) the ubnit starts to be recruitable...

some unit 0000 { some faction } and event_counter bla 1

Then you can add this unit into the queue, of course it will not be build but you can create a monitor at FactionTurnsStart that checks if that unit is inside the ques and let it be spawned via script!

Now you only have to find out if you can remove this unit from the queue to prevent it beeing built the turn after the siege... but the AI will never use it!

Nice one Lazy. It would need to be set_event_counter though.

I gather that the AddedToTrainingQueue is the signal that it has been added to queue? Script could possibly spawn the unit as soon as that happens rather than during a FactionTurnStart/End.

Once the siege is over - if there is another monitor tracking that and in turn unsetting the counter - then the unit is no longer recruitable. This should remove it from the queue automatically I think.
