Famous Battle Site modding

[Vladyvid]

Im wondering if its possible to mod this feature. Has anyone attempted to do any modding with it?

I would be interested to know:
1. if such battle sites can be given custom campaign markers,
2. if they can be pre-set for the campaign start,
3. can we replace the marker

Anything anyone tried to do with this? I dont have to say what potential it can create if we could use these battle sites as custom markers. I suspect the answer to most of this can be that its hardcoded, but im really not sure, dont remember ever seeing anything related to modding this feature. So im wondering, does anyone know anything about it?


Thanks for any replies.

There is a custom tile feature where you can replace a tile on the campaign map with a custom battle map.

Not exactly sure how that works but I am guessing that's what you are looking for. This google search should give you a number of links to follow up on.

Edit: on second reading it does appear that you wish to place the 'famous battle' marker. That's not possible in it's original form as there is no coding that allows for it, eg it's hard coded. You could place a trading resource with a suitable model and text, but it's extremely limiting due to the total number of trading resources.

Thanks for the advice Gigantus, i didnt think the marker would be moddable but just wanted to see if anyone knows anything. Thanks for the other solution you suggested.

Apart from that, you can also rename it to something else. On my EBII build, I renamed it to Famous War Trophy site

Just had a quick check - it's the 'crossed_swords' model in models_strat, just in case you want to use that.

Thanks Gigantus, i think i may actually end up using some trade resources instead of modifying this marker, for what i was trying to achieve with it. Thanks for the help to make me realise that!
