Epic Walls?

[JarlFrank]

For some reason, all the stone walls in the game are just... well, normal stone walls. Large and epic walls appear as normal stone walls on the battle maps, including the ones of great cities such as Rome and Constantinople. Is this intentional? Can I fix this? Taking Rome is a lot less awesome this way, as is defending it.

So what you're saying is that you can build epic walls in strat map, but in battle mode, they're still normal stone walls?

Exactly. All the cities that have walls better than normal stone walls on the strat map, have normal stone walls on the battle map.

They use the graphics for. But effects are the same.

OK, here's what you can do. Go to: ibfd/data/export_descr_buildings.txt and look for the line that says building defenses ( use search ). After that, check the last level of this building tree, named epic_stone_wall. It should read something like: epic_stone_wall requires factions { eastern, roman, }

Let me know if that is all it says, or if it's got a hidden resource line there as well.

epic_stone_wall requires factions { eastern, empire_west, empire_east, } and hidden_resource costantinopoli or hidden_resource ravenna or hidden_resource carthago or hidden_resource jerusalem

EDIT:
I tried some changes, but the walls of Rome still look like this:


Here is the entire building defenses part:

OK, I see. Here's what you do:

Change this line:

epic_stone_wall requires factions { eastern, empire_west, empire_east, } and hidden_resource costantinopoli or hidden_resource ravenna or hidden_resource carthago or hidden_resource jerusalem

into this:

epic_stone_wall requires factions { eastern, empire_west, empire_east, }

In other words, remove the hidden resources, and it should enable you to build epic walls in all your settlements.
