duke sallos?

[Malkaviel]

whos this guy. i customed up a game, 8 civs on a standard size hemispheres map, monarch difficulty, and some of the options checked, blessing, wildlands, abundant barbs, barb towns at start, all unique etc etc and i chose hannah.

so the game starts and i'm duke sallos of the lanun with traits barbarian, raiders, and evil alignment. so, why did i start as him instead of the financial trait leader i chose .

where you playing Fall Further Plus, with unrestricted leaders on, and forgot to reselect Hannah after you chose the Lanun civilization?

 

[Malkaviel]

no, ffh2.41. also for some reason i can't adopt oct overlords as a religion. maybe he's agnostic

 

[xxHammerxx]

is it patch a or b? Either way it prolly goes on the bug forum, but would only be currently applicable as a possible bug if you are running patch b (otherwise it could have been fixed)

although unless u are also running the Minor leaders mod mod I have no idea how it could of happend.

Duke Sallos is one of the Infernal Leaders, which means that he can only adopt AV due to his weightings. Sounds like a bug, or you mis-selected your leader.

 

[Honor]

That is impossible, period.

(Unless you f'ed up your FfH 2 installation by writing over your original FfH 2 folder while installing a modmod or Kael incorporated minor leaders but forgot to mention it in the changelog)

 

[FireBlaze]

Yeah. You need to provide more details on your part, cause right now it sounds like a user error, but I could be wrong.

 

[Malkaviel]

how could it have been a user error or how could i have chosen the wrong leader? this duke guy isn't even a leader choice? he's kinda fun to play otherwise. barbarian raider with lanun seafaring pirate coves and stuff. i just broke my barbarian treaty tho.

while clicking around trying to duplicate it, i found that if you 1. choose your leader, then 2. toggle on challenge:end of winter, it resets your leader name to random but keeps the civ (lanun for my example).

thanks for the av tip. that helped the most.

 

[Honor]

Oh, my. It looks like I know less about FfH than I think I do.

AFAIK that's fixed in 0.41 b.

 

[xxHammerxx]

and Sallos would be available with Random leader why??

(unrestricted leader and minor mod ... or just some fluke due to scenarios, erm, existing? )

 

[Furin]

That was the bug with the selection of "end of winter", your leader would be switched to random good or evil without notification, and if you did not reselect the correct leader before starting the game you would end up with leaders like Sallos or Halfmoon and other's you never heard before (as leader).

Took me a while to figure that out myself, I had already written a half a page bug report before I thought I look again before making a fool of myself, and then I saw what was going on. Bug report was then one sentence.
