Great General

[Caspi]

Hi all,

Great general is generated after x points of combat experience, but experience points only againts another nations not against Barbarian. How can I modify this? Is there posibility to change it?

Hmm, I wasn't aware of this. It reminds me of the Civ 3 days when you couldn't get a military leader from a victory against barbs.

On the surface, it sounds like a job for Python. Considering barbarians get the same units as everybody else, there is probably a command somewhere that checks the nationality of the unit being attacked. If "barbarian" gets returned, no points are generated. In theory, all you'd have to do is find and change this. But I'm really not sure.

It is possible to change it. It would be a change in the Warlords SDK. My question to you is how would military leaders emerge from battling an unorganized foe?

Anyways, I am almost done with the changes to the Warlords code to let great generals emerge from combat with barbarians. I'll post the link to the mod when I upload it.

YES!!!

I've been checking this forum continuously since Warlords came out for this. Thanks, TheLopez!

This would disqualify almost every Roman general.....LOL

That's a huge mode to change such a small thing. Is the Great General xp for Barbarian code really that deep in the game if all we want to change is getting xp versus barbarians!?

I mean, why is th techchooser screen modified, and all the other files? Wow.

I thought I uploaded a zip without the techchooser. It wasn't supposed to be in there.

As for the size, well it had to be done through the SDK, it couldn't be done through python. Plus I included the source for the changes and added some configuration options to disable the different features I added.

Maybe their advantage was strategy/tactics, not leadership? (i.e. a Unique Unit)

I'll check again. I d/led the one ion the files database... maybe that one was different.

And I can't believe firaxis buried this sort of option that deep. Like the spy stuff at first. Stupid choice on their part. EXPOSE simple things like this for us to choose in easier mods.

I am pointing to the file in the file database in my thread. Anyways I uploaded a new version of the zip without the techchooser.

There is a bunch of other stuff that is buried like this that I plan to expose when I get time...
