Stupid question about bodyguards!

[PoroMiri]

Hello all! I just got an crazy idea. Let's start with saying this I just enjoy so much everything that I see and hear when playing TATW. You know that feeling when you are first time arriwing to Edoras and that intro comes up.. you need to close your eyes and just listen that music!

I'm playing with Gondor (as always huh). I watched my generals and some of them looks like ithilien ranger, one of them looks like fountain guard and so on.. In my opinion it's boring that guy who looks like Ithilien ranger is really heavy cavalry. It could be such a cool if my fountain guard would have a fountain guard bodyguards and so on! I think here was a submod that allows choosing that kind of bodyguards as you like. But I can't find it.

So, if here is any way to change bodyguard units for generals, please tell me! Thanks, and happy new year!

Ps. The Hobbit is awesome movie! Go and watch it!

this is the only one i found. But I think this doesn't allow changing to whatever unit I want? How it is?

Faramir has Ithilien Rangers bodyguards, Boromir has Citadel Guard bodyguards, Forlong has Axemen of Lossarnach bodyguards. At least they do for me.

I think he's saying if you adopt a general, he wants to change the bodyguard to match the portrait, so somebody in Ranger clothing should have a bodyguard of Ithilien Rangers instead of heavy cav.

Thats nearly impossible cause those portrait are randomly generated, so you'll never know if the new general is a ranger or a fountain guard...

[Zimmy]

Which is why he wants to change them after adopting them

Can not be done in an ongoing campaign AFAIK, and all together it would require very complicated scipts.

However ge can use the scriptmaster Withwnar's mod Bodyguard Switcher http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=490115

or get it together with much else good trough Withwnars Submod Collection http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...0#post11537510

Your cheque is in the mail Ngugi.

That's correct: impossible to do in the current campaign. Advisor scripts are save game compatible and can be used to do many things and but sadly spawning is not one of them, which changing bodyguards requires.

Changing bodyguard to match the portrait: what a great idea! It would be too difficult (if not impossible) for script to do that automatically but Bodyguard Switcher at least lets the player do it. Although Fountain Guard is only available to certain characters.

There may be a way around this. You could delete the fountain guard and ranger portraits from the general portrait folder and assign them as custom portraits while at the same time giving matching bodyguards. However, that would mean you would only be able to have these portraits for starting generals (already in game when you first begin a campaign). You'd no long have the random chance of getting those portraits in game for new generals.

Yeah, that's what I was going to suggest: get more portraits that look like cavalry commanders and remove the ones that don't.
