automatic promotion not working

[Vorpal+5]

Hi,

I don't understand why this is not working. I'm trying to give to all barbarians (Bhall) an automatic promotion, but they don't get it, why? I pretty much copy pasted the wasteland defender from DTesh, I don't see what I'm doing wrong.

Post the actual XML for it?

Will help me see what's wrong. Best bet is that you didn't list all the unitcombats, which must be listed for it to be gained by all units.

It was listed, for archers for example, and with the editor I saw that the starting archers in barbs cities did not had it. Confused I'm!

<iMinLevel>-1</iMinLevel>

Remove it and things should be fine. I've been bitten by it myself.

On another note, they will retain the promotion if captured. Is that what you want?

 

[Vorpal+5]

ok, will do, but what this is causing a bug, I don't understand... The minlevel field seems rather self explanatory...

about capture, I had not thought of it, you have a solution?

thanks anyway!

 

[odalrick]

iMinLevel= -1 is special, it means the promotion cannot be taken. Requires level ∞ essentially. Many ways of getting a promotion ignores this, like Mimic copy, randomly applied promotions (like Crazed), leader traits, Blessed from the Altar, python, spells, promotions given to commanders...

As for removing the promotion when captured, add <bMustMaintain>1</bMustMaintain> . Any time the unit could no longer take the promotion, it will be removed.

How yes, thanks to you I'm nearing Level 2 in modding skills now
