Ptolemaioi & The Spartan Intervention Mission?

Hello!

Playing as Ptolemies the mission restoring the exiled spartan king Kleomenes didn't work properly for me.

Epiros took Sparte as intended and the next turn, the script fired and i got asked if i would accept Kleomenes as guest (which i accepted).
But instead of waiting a few turns before suggesting i should try and reconquer Sparte (at least that's what i read from the actual script), the "timer has run out" part of the script starts instantly and Kleomenes appears as a rebel near Alexandreia (Sparte is still being held by the Epirotes).

I have tried it a few times (reloading previous savegame & starting a new campaign), but always with the same outcome, which makes me think that there is a bug hidden somewhere in this part of the script.
Has this mission worked as intended for anyone else?

Regards,
Malagricus.

Yes, I spotted that on charlieh's Let's Play and investigated, there's a bug. Fixed in 2.3a, if you want to update your own script with the fixed one, you need to replace it with this:

Code: [View]

    ; Installing a Spartan client in Sparte, in the event it falls

    ; The Fall of Sparte

    monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType f_ptolemaioi
        if I_IsFactionAIControlled f_ptolemaioi            ; not for the AI
            terminate_monitor
        end_if
        if I_SettlementOwner sett_090 != f_kh              ; Koinon Hellenon have lost Sparte
            and I_EventCounter HE_EXILED_SPARTAN_KING < 1  ; not triggered
            set_event_counter SparteHasFallen 1
            historic_event HE_EXILED_SPARTAN_KING true factions { f_ptolemaioi, } ; An exile from Sparte

            while I_EventCounter HE_EXILED_SPARTAN_KING_accepted = 0 ;;; while-loop to pause the script until a decision is made
                and I_EventCounter HE_EXILED_SPARTAN_KING_declined = 0
            end_while

            if I_EventCounter HE_EXILED_SPARTAN_KING_accepted = 1
                set_event_counter KleomenesGuest 1
            end_if
            if I_EventCounter HE_EXILED_SPARTAN_KING_declined = 1

Not savegame compatible, needs a new campaign to be applied.

Thanks!
Since this happens really early in the campaign, i'll try the changed script in a new one right away.
