Joerock's Hotseat - Reboot

[Gimli]

Isengard!

Well I had to attack Osglliath when I had the chance. Gondor gets way to strong when it gets the barracks in MT/Pelegrir and I knew you had reinforcements coming. I sorta expected Boromir to be able to reinforce but you managed to beat my army with much less troops then I expected. In AoM it took little more of 35 units to beat one stack of Mordor led by WT. Granted I don't reload as much as you do because I don't have as much time, but good game Joerock.

Did not get the result I nearly anticipated. I should've expected it because I've barely put any time and effort into this HS like I have others. Im just going to put all my chips on attacking Osglliath, if it fails, whoever is before me in the turn order can sub.

Got it! My script is broken so all I have to do is remove all commentary marks. It will mean no empty settlements on turn 1 though. If that's fine by you we can restart in a couple of hours.

It doesn't work my with file either? Perhaps there is something else in your files that is messed up, because I just checked, when I start a SP campaign I do get the rebels that start to garrison from turn 2 onwards.

Like I said, it's a script problem, not a descr_strat problem.

Thanks for all your work, both of you. Starting with no empty settlements is fine with me, and much better than having a lot of permanently empty settlements, IMO. Panda will be disappointed that he can’t occupy Kugavod on turn 1, and it sucks for me that I can’t take Barad Harn. But that’s no big deal. We can fight battles against rebels, so those towns will fall relatively easily with a little good generalship.

And you said that my descr_strat contains commentary marks too. So why does it work for me and not for you?

because your script file works. you see, these entries in descr_strat are ignored because some script spawns and moves those rebels. My script does not work so I will just enable this part of descr_strat again and there will be rebels inside the settlements on turn 1

[Gallus]

Well , I surrender. I changed descr_strat and it worked - for most regions. for some reason some towns (around 8) still remain ungarrisoned, even though the coordinations in descr_strat are correct. I'm sorry but you can either play with ungarrisoned towns, find a new admin or wait for me to reinstall TATW (will take a day or two). I'm really sorry and apologize to all of you, especially those who repped me.

[Gallus]

for joerock:

TATW.rar contains the cfg file with HS settings, descr_strat goes into data/world/maps/campaign/imperial campaign

you'll have to kill portugal, spain, egypt and turks with the surrender_regions factionname command once you start the game. And you may want to change admin password in the cfg file since everyone can see it now

oh and backup your old files!

[joerock22]

Success! Gallus' updated files combined with my correct script files created a first turn which functions correctly. The only rebel city which doesn't get a garrison is Barad Harn, but I'm going to occupy that on turn 1 so it doesn't really matter. I'm not sure why that is. And in case any of you are feeling sneaky, the admin password is not "overlord."

I'll play my turn later tonight or tomorrow.

It is normal that Barad Harn doesn't get a garrison I think. Actually, I only found out today it is possible to occupy it on the first turn as well. ^^ But usually when you just march to that settlement, you can also freely take it on turn 2 or 3 when you arrive there.

Just tested it…using the normal descry_strat, 6 units of rebels occupy Barad Harn on turn 2. So it’s pretty much either take it on turn 1 not at all. So I took it in this hotseat because I would have done so in a typical game, and so as not to abuse the glitch which causes those rebels to be absent here.

A cold wind blows in from the east, bringing with it the smell of brimstone and ash. A stillness settles over the lands of Gondor, its people knowing full well what is rising in Mordor. But the Steward’s resolve is strong, and his people rally to defend their homelands. The armies are mobilized, new men joining Gondor’s ranks by the thousands. The forces of Saruon shall perish by Gondorian sword!

No kidding! Well, I am 100% sure that I took Barad Harn on turn 2 or 3 in your first HS and no rebels showed up, not in nor next to the settlement.

[joerock22]

Maybe we have different files somehow. At any rate, what's done is done and I'm happy with it.

Oh, bloody hell...we have our first casualty. Saladman got a new job, so he's out. I'll search for a replacement.

[Chieftain Khuzaymah]

The new guy, KhalFrodo, is looking to play hotseats. I am not sure if it is a very good idea to have someone totally new to HSing in this HS already, but if we can't find any other players, why not give him a chance?

[KhalFrodo]

So guys, I have a problem. When I load JR2_Rohan_1 (Rohan's saved game) this comes to me : Any ideas ?

[joerock22]

Somebody else download the save and see if it works.

[Chieftain Khuzaymah]

It works, I checked it. Also, I've been trying to help him out why he has this problem, but I don't know what it is. I advised him to either reinstall TATW or find someone more technical than me to solve his problem (which may be best in a technical help thread).

[joerock22]

Reinstalling TATW sounds like the best place to start.

[Chieftain Khuzaymah]

So we kind of got a dying reboot here? ^^ Darn, TATW is really going worse..

[Gimli]

Oh well.
