Captital security for Maurader player?

[steammagic]

Captital security for Maurader (wndering_monster_player)player?

I'm intersted in adding security for the captials when the Lord falls, that is when the Lord of that faith is killed, all his buildings go back to being owned by the wandering_monster_player, the game's term for mauraders or neutral player.

From the scenario.gs I found how you set up the captial security. I want to add monster spawning when someone tries a "free grab," that is the Lord dies, the place is left empty and a nearby player with a bald eagle or spotted dog can snag a level 3 city.

I added the wandering_monster_player as below and it does not seem to be working...any ideas?

It will not work because the Marauders do not start with a Lord or a Capitol, so this is why they do not get the Security forces that you want.

If you want Marauders who once served a Lord to remain in the building after the Lord has died, you will have to either delete all the content in "gs/revenge.gs" or find another solution.

Revenge.gs is what kicks on whenever a Lord is dead and all of his remaining followers will go after the killer. If they do not have the revenge data, all of the remaining units will stay wherever they are.

When they remain sitting in one place, they litter the map with Thieves and scouts for the most part.

[steammagic]

Ok, that makes sense, FREE CITY!

One just has to learn how not to take advange of the baby brother when playing Monopoly or it will spoil the game for everyone else.

Ths capital and temple security, can it be implemented in Medium (even in Easy) Difficulty with less units?

I tried this but have no results whatsoever, mainly substituting medium for hard as indicated below (seems simple, eh?) and editing out a unit in each group.

When I edited scenario.gs for temple and capital security, I made it so that only on Hard Mode and Single Player would have the garrisons.

If you want all difficulties to have garrisons, remove the following:
getmultiplayerflag not and
getdifficultylevel HARD_LEVEL eq and


If you want specific garrisons for each difficulty... that will be hard. I have tried this before, but I did not succeed.

[steammagic]

That's IT. Works now. However, if the temples change ownership somewhere along the line then it stops working. I liberated Air's temple, gave it to him but the temple guards did not show up, nor did they if I entered a temple that Life took over from Fire when he died.

But I'm not seeing messages about mauraders taking the other temples as of yet and by turn 40 or so there is one message by then.

This shows how much hard work you put into studying this and in trying to get things to work

[Boaster]

The Great Temple garrisons do not start inside the Temple, only marauders will start inside unconquered buildings.

The Garrisons for the capitals will start next to the the Lord's starting party.

[steammagic]

What do the numbers mean by the unit for the security (scenario.gs)?

{/liwiz 20001{}}
{/licr3 9000{}}
{/limis 7500{}}
{/limis 7500{}}

You have 20001, 9000 NS 7500.

Whereas the patched no GS5 game has

/security_unit_dict << LIFE{{/liwiz 3000{}}{/limis

1500{}}{/limis 1200{}}{/licav 1000{}}}

3000, 1200, 1000.

What do those numbers mean?

For temple security, the game has
/temple_security_unit_dict <<

LIFE{{{legend?{/licr5}{/licr3}ifelse}300{}}{/limis

300{}}{/limis 300{}}{/licav

300{}}}.

Thanks

[Boaster]

{{legend?{/licr5}{/licr3}ifelse}300{}}

Wants to know if the AI is active, and if it is to give it the first unit, LICR5, which is the Phoenix.


The number inside the set means experience.

{/limis 300{}} => 300 experience points.

After 300 are another set of braces {}. Inside there you would place artifact indexes. Such as /dark_blade or /great_axe etc.

[steammagic]

So it IS experience! I was unsure about the pop types (pop 8 etc) this threw me.

thanks again

[Boaster]

That's just the experience the garrison units are set to. That simple.
