No Bright Wizards

[JoeMcMullin]

Hey guys,

I'm on turn 89 and there are still no Bright Wizards available for Reikland. I don't understand what the issue is, as I already have both warrior priests and witch hunters.

When do they come in?
I've even tried using the console to create some using the usual create_unit "Altdorf" Bright Wizard 2 9 3 3 and various variations of Bright Wizard/Wizard etc but to no avail.

Can anyone tell me how I get these Wizards?

Lastly the Bretonian armies haven't turned up either yet, and I've seen in the campaign script they should turn up in turn 69 or something.

Advice anyone?

Actually it's completely random (1% per turn for each). I've gone an entire campaign without ever getting the steam tanks, for example. In terms of actually getting them in another method, I don't know. Good luck.

Yeah the chances of these special units are random ( 1% each turn per default ).

However if you want to make them recruitable you have to edit the following file: Export_descr_buildings.

You'd also probably want to get rid of the event_counters in the Bright Wizard line, or you'll still be limited to that 1% chance per turn event before you can recruit them.

If you look closer, you'll see I did. Notice the different line for AI.

Editing this file won't break the game unless you screw up. ( Spaces at end of lines, etc )

[Jivaro]

If you change the correct line in the campaign_script, they appear in the first or second turn:
Search in the campaign_script, in data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign, for the bright wizards:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;Bright Wizard;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
the line that says :
and RandomPercent = 1

and change it to:
and RandomPercent < 99

so that means you have 100% chance of the bright wizards event, it's better than make then recruitable in the campaign!

MAKE A COPY FIRST

[WhiffOfGrapeshot]

Or without editing the files and forcing you to start a new campaign, just open the console and enter

create_unit "Altdorf" "Bright Wizard" 3

This way you don't need to start a new game, or muck about with editing files that could break something.

Finally got my first unit of Bright Wizards in 1.5.1 yesterday - my 6th campaign (the others all got to around turn 40 before changing faction). Like you I was thinking they had been taken out.

I seem to get offers of steam tanks and priests of sigmar every game however, which it has to be said I have no interest in
