Sea Great General

[Sleepwalker91]

I'm trying to create a UU similar to the Mongolian Khan, with the regular bonus of the Great General applied to naval units. The result should be an Admiral.

Anyone could help me with the XML for this unit?

 

[The Little One]

So you want it to be like a ship, but replacing a great general? If so, try something like this
<UnitClass> UNITCLASS_GREAT_GENERAL </UnitClass>
<Type> UNIT_GREAT_ADMIRAL </Type
<Cost> -1 </Cost>
<Moves> Whatever you want </Moves>

etc...

Just carry on like the Great General unit is set out, only adding naval bits where appropriate.
Let me know if you need any help

I copied down the Mongol Khan, replacing "Khan" with "Admiral" where I needed to.
What I'm looking for is, how do I give the Great General fighting bonus to surrounding vessels?

 

[The Little One]

I think the Great General Promotion does it. look at the XML for that promotion and make a new one. It should be fairly obvious what to do

 

[Sleepwalker91]

The XML for that promotion is the following:

<Row><Type>PROMOTION_GREAT_GENERAL</Type><Description>TXT_KEY_PROMOTION_GREAT_GENERAL</Description><Help>TXT_KEY_PROMOTION_GREAT_GENERAL_HELP</Help><Sound>AS2D_IF_LEVELUP</Sound><GreatGeneral>true</GreatGeneral><PortraitIndex>59</PortraitIndex><IconAtlas>ABILITY_ATLAS</IconAtlas><PediaType>PEDIA_ATTRIBUTES</PediaType><PediaEntry>TXT_KEY_PEDIA_PROMOTION_GREAT_GENERAL</PediaEntry></Row>

I can't see how I can make a new promotion exclusive for adjacent naval units. And no, the standard Great General promotion doesn't cover this.

 

[The Little One]

I don't know then. Sorry I couldn't be of any help

 

[Maniac]

Just change DOMAIN_LAND of the unit to DOMAIN_SEA. The great general effect is hardcoded to only provide the bonus to the same domain.

 

[Sleepwalker91]

So I guess it's the only possible way... I'll make it an exclusive sea support.

I don't know then. Sorry I couldn't be of any help

Thanks anyway!
