New 2.1 money script question:

**DrJambo** · January 26, 2007, 05:11 PM

Hi lusted,

What does this bolded part of the script mean?

Code:

        monitor_event SettlementTurnStart FactionType hungary
                and not FactionIsLocal
                console_command add_money hungary, 1000
        end_monitor

The rest of the entries are FactionTurnStart...

Cheers

For every settlement an ai facton has it will have a 1000 cash boost.

The SettlementTurnStart checks through every settlement.

Do you ever mention these sort of things to Jason during your conversations? Not that it's critical of course because we can always do them ourselves anyway...

hi

Can i change it so the money script is bigger for the AI or do i need some compiler to do that? I wanna make him much stronger couse i kick his ass to easily every time.

I found some that i think give the 5k if he has less then 5k and turn is less then 50 in the
Medieval II Total War\landstoconquer\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\campaign_script.txt
Is it needed to have one for each team? Will it only give money to the ai not the player? Will he produce more troops if i give him more money in this manner?

Code:

	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType england
		and not FactionIsLocal
		and Treasury < 5000
		and I_TurnNumber < 50
		console_command add_money england, 5000
	end_monitor

	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType england
		and not FactionIsLocal
		and Treasury < 5000
		and I_NumberOfSettlements england < 3
		console_command add_money england, 5000
	end_monitor


	monitor_event SettlementTurnStart FactionType england
		and not FactionIsLocal
		console_command add_money england, 1000
	end_monitor

	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType england
		and not FactionIsLocal
		and Treasury < 5000
		and I_TurnNumber < 50
		console_command add_money england, 5000
	end_monitor

	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType france
		and not FactionIsLocal
		and Treasury < 5000
		and I_NumberOfSettlements france < 3
		console_command add_money france, 5000
	end_monitor

Thanks for a great mod
Erik

Its in the campaign_script.txt file at the bottom.

yes maybe i updated my post after you asnwered it. I did find it (the one in the landtoconqer folder will be used if i start the game with your launcher right?).

So my other questions... Would it work to increase these figures to make him produce faster? Do i need to write one script for each faction or can i make a global dito? But ONLY for ai, not for human player.

the first and the last of englands code-blocks seems to be the same? Are they? And in that case why?

Thanks a lot
Erik

My money script only gives the ai factions money. Just increase the amount of money each part of the script gives the ai factions.

cool!

I love what you have done with this mod. You are much more forced to specialize your castles (due to no free best cavalry and infantry simply from castle itself) and building-upgrades are more linear in cost making it not obvious that you do the same for each settlement.

If i get this extra money to the bad guys to work im really satisfied.

It works. England has 500.000 gold within 10 turns ( just to try out the code). Is it confirmed that the AI build more troops if he's rich? Or is that another setting?

In an earlier version of your mod, you had the min cash for ai at 15k but lowered it to 5k in the current version. Did you find that it works better with only 5k? Did it get to hard? Personally i want it to be much harder but maybe the ai stops working?

Any ideas on this? Ok I will sleep now. Thanks
