RTRPE II (1.1 Patch Released!)

[ahowl11]

Name changed! Thanks for the support

[ahowl11]

Okay just a little preview of the entire Roman Roster since I have not had much to update recently:

Camillan:
Accensi
Leves
Rorarii
Hastati
Principes
Triarii
Equites
Pedites Extrordinarii
Equites Extrordinarii
**Allied Troops**
Socii Skirmishers
Socii Spearmen
Socii Swordsmen
Socii Hoplites
Socii Equites

Polybian:
Velites
Hastati
Principes
Triarii
Equites
Pedites Extrordinarii
Equites Extrordinarii
Funditores
Sagitarii
**Allies**
Allied Velites
Allied Hastati
Allied Principes
Allied Triarri
Allied Equites

Marian:
Antesignani
Legionary Cohort
Legionary First Cohort
Veteran Cohort
Equites Alares
Auxiliary Spearmen
Light Auxilia
Archer Auxilia
Cavalry Auxilia

That's how I have the Roman roster set up as of now, the Camillans are all pretty much made, it's just a matter of making/editing the rest. The Socii troops are the same units as the Italic Spearmen, Swordsmen, Skirmishers etc. The Extrordinarii troops are being made by Maraxus along with the Antesignani and Veteran Cohort units. I am questioning whether I should have general auxiliary troops like I have listed above or if I should wait to make specific Auxiliary troops for the AOR later. Let me know what your thoughts are, I'd like to get this thread buzzing

[Visarion]

I like the map! how is progress!?

[ahowl11]

Thank you, the map is going to look a lot different once it is finished by Lethe1. Revamped settlements and regions and better geography along with the already implemented textures and strat map models. So expect a new map preview in the next few weeks. Also expect a new unit preview for the Romans within the next few days, as Maraxus is putting the finishing touches on some beautiful units!

RTRPE II
Roman Roster

Camillan


Top Row: Accensi; Leves; Rorarii; Hastati; Principes; Triarii
Bottom Row: Equites; General
Camillan Allies

Top Row: Socii Skirmishers; Socii Spearmen; Socii Swordsmen; Socii Hoplites; Pedites Extrordinarii; Socii Equites
Bottom Row: Equites Extrordinarii

Polybian

Top Row: Velites; Hastati; Principes; Triarii; Equites; General

Polybian Allies

Top Row: Allied Velites; Allied Hastati; Allied Principes; Allied Triarii; Allied Equites


Polybian Auxiliaries

Top Row: Funditores; Sagitarii

Marian

Top Row: Antesignani; Legionary/First Legionary Cohort; Veteran Cohort; Equites Alares; Ballistas; General

I have not decided what I want to do for Marian Auxiliaries. I am leaning on going toward both generic troop types and unique troop types. If I do, I will post the generic auxiliary troops up with this post and save the unique ones for when I make AOR troops.

Updated the OP with the new Roman Unit Roster

[ElvenKind]

Best of luck in making this mod!

Keep up the good work.

[ahowl11]

Thank you very much!

[ahowl11]

I have decided to release a small patch. RTRPE II v0.1. It is the same as my Minimod for RTRPE 2.0.

You can find the link in the OP, but I will put it here too. It includes everything but the Roman units. I won't add units until I can find someone who can script in reforms

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

I'm no expert but can you not just copy a reform script from another mod? like the EB reform, just the number of cities part....I'm sure there is more to it than that but the tutorial should help. Definitely more than I can

[ahowl11]

I honestly do not know.. If it is possible I might try it, but I have no idea where to even begin. What tutorial? I cannot find one, if you could point me to one I could at least gain a basic understanding of the scripting.

To me reforms should occur at a certain date, not requirement of cities of certain buildings because then when you play the AI they may never reach that amount.

A small preview of what Carthage's unit roster will look like:

****CARTHAGINIAN ROSTER****

Here is the blueprint to the Carthaginian roster. They are a unique faction because they recruited all over the western Mediterranean. I have stuck to the civic and African troops because these were the easiest to recruit. The Iberian, Numidian Gallic, and Italian troops can be made later when we make the AOR. So basically these troops below are available to Carthage only.

Through my research the Carthaginian Roster went through three phases, from pre-punic wars to third Punic war. Some troop types remained but they changed through the wars in arms and armor, very similar to Rome. The numbers are there to represent what phase that they will be recruited in.


****CITIZEN TROOPS****
Civic Militia (early) 1
Civic Militia (late) 2-3
Marines 1-3
Civic Cavalry 1-3
Sacred Band 1-3
Sacred Band Cavalry 1-3

****AFRICAN TROOPS****
Skirmishers 1-3
Slingers 1-3
Archers 1-3
Libyan Theureophoroi 1-3
Liby-Punic Hoplites (early) 1
Liby-Punic Hoplites (late) 2-3
Libyan Thorakitai 2-3
Libyan Phalangites 2-3
African Veterans 3
Punic Peltasts (early) 1
Punic Peltasts (mid) 2
Punic Peltasts (late) 3
Liby-Punic Cavalry 1-3
African Forest Elephants 1-3

[dimnjacar]

will this be playable with BI.exe? Also, would like to see something like RS2 environment (without dense forrest and large trees) and 4TPY (I'm a slow player )

[ahowl11]

It should be aha. I have been thinking about adding RSII environments but we will see. I don't like all those trees either. Yes it already has the 4tpy mod installed

[The Holy Pilgrim]

Looking good, mate!

I'll wait until it's developed a bit further, but it looks nice. I especially like the Roman rosters.

[ahowl11]

Thanks, the Carthaginian roster is currently being worked on, and I am hoping to be able to get the new map soon!

[Kylan271]

EB uses various scripted requirements for Reforms,you have to look at their files and say RS2 also. I am no expert,sorry. Camillian/Poly/Marian all need separating somehow. Loom at AQD's mod also here. Got the pm thanks.

[CanOmer]

Nice!

[ahowl11]

Okay sorry if this is a dumb question, but what files do I need to look at to view the scripts? I think ExRM has the best reform scripts and I wouldn't mind looking at each mods scripts to make mine, but what files would I need?

And is scripting reforms easier than what it seems? Would I just have to copy/paste what I wanted and then edit it to my preferences? There are no tutorials on it, so it's very mysterious to me at the moment.

[z3n]

In scripts\show_me. the scripts traditionally should be placed in there. (other than campaign scripts which are usually located in the maps\campaign\your mods campaign.

As long as what's in the reform script is applicable to your mod. If it's buildings, settlements and such then you may want to double check if those are in your own mod or you will have to alter the commands to suit your own mod.

Could be something basic like

	declare_counter reform_message

	;;;;;;;;; Detect the reform conditions
	monitor_event I_TurnNumber > 88
		and Treasury < 20000
				
				console_command create_building Rome royal_barracks
				
		terminate_monitor
	end_monitor

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;; Wait for turn to end, then start reform REPEAT THIS FOR MULTIPLE/ALL FACTIONS EX //SELEUCID!
	monitor_event I_TurnNumber > 88
		and Treasury < 20000		
		and I_LocalFaction romans_julii
				console_command create_building Rome royal_barracks
				console_command control romans_julii
				console_command capture_settlement Rome
				console_command control romans_julii
			provoke_rebellion Rome
			set_counter reform_message 1
		terminate_monitor
	end_monitor

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
	;;;;;;;;; Always Provoke a rebellion in Rome
	monitor_conditions I_SettlementOwner Rome = romans_julii
		and I_LocalFaction romans_julii
			provoke_rebellion Rome
		terminate_monitor
	end_monitor
	
	;;;;;;;;; Make sure the player doesn't get revolt message
	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
		and I_CompareCounter reform_message = 2
			console_command clear_messages
			set_counter reform_message 0
		terminate_monitor
	end_monitor
	
	;;;;;;;;; Clear marius popup and Display reform message
	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
		and I_CompareCounter reform_message = 1
			console_command clear_messages
			console_command test_message disaster_fire
			set_counter reform_message 2
		terminate_monitor
	end_monitor
