Returning the body of Alexander

[soibean]

I saw in previous builds that the EB team was trying to script in a way of returning Alexander the Great's body back to Makedonia. I'm not sure if it was ever able to fully work but I thought Id check.
Currently I just took over Alexandria and, if I recall from the older builds correctly, you had to have a family member within the city with an open Retinue spot who then destroys the tomb of Alexander. I did so and waited a year, but nothing happened and then the following turn his last slot was filled by Armorer.
Is there something Im missing?

If I remember correctly, only a character with the "Conqueror of Alexandria" (Nikesias Alexandrou?) trait can move the body. You'll have to wait a turn after destroying the tomb, but then he will get a trait (not a retinue) indicating he is carrying the corpse. Then he has to move to Pella and stay there for a turn while Alexander is reintered. Only the Macedonians and Seleucids can perform this quest.

I believe this is broken. I could be wrong though.

EDIT: Actually, it is broken. I just checked and the script concerning the body of Alexander is deactivated.

ahh ok thanks for the help

[Ludens]

Why did that happen?

[XSamatan]

and why it was disabled??:embarassed:

btw: is this something we'll see in EBII more often???:2thumbsup:

[Hax]

Because of the inclusion of Saba (romans_senate). Both the Baktrian Independence, Seleucid breakup and the Body of Alexander were broken afterwards.

Just like my current campaign... Bloody sabaeans are destroying everything:furious3: :laugh4: ... But I hope things such as these are in consideration for EBII? :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

[General Appo]

Holy Crap!! IS this what somebody on the Team meant when he said that one faction slot might be reserved for scripting stuff?!?!?!?!!? I might have stumbled upon a gigantic secret. This must be brought before the EBF Council at once!

[Maion Maroneios]

I think they must have discussed this quite a lot of times, but decided that sacrificing all this to add the Saba would be a better choise. I agree with that also:yes:

I wouldn't mind sacrificing Casse, though. :P

[Cartaphilus]

Is there a guide about all these mini-quests?

Please, link it.

:sweatdrop:

[Hax]

Well, you have the Shanshah thing for at least Pahlava (perhaps Hay too, not sure), and the Anabasis for the Seleucids.

[Maion Maroneios]

Yep. You can find all thi stuff (with pics and such) in the data folder. Dunno where exactly, though... They even have the Yhuezi destroyed pic! Did they use to be a faction in previous builds?:inquisitive:

[General Appo]

Looking trough the EBBS script I found a couple of interesting things, like the Chersonesos event, the Epeiros-Gauls alliance, the Celtiberian alliance and Sweboz Triumphs. Now I think I understand these to some point, but I would appreaciate it if someone with a bit more knowledge could tell me exactly what they mean.
I´m asking it here just ´cause we seem to have moved to discussing mini-quests in general.

[Hax]

the Chersonesos event, the Epeiros-Gauls alliance, the Celtiberian alliance and Sweboz Triumphs.

1)The Chersonessos Event: Basically it says whenever the Sauromatae attack one of the Crimean cities, they will declare war upon the Pontikes.

2) The Epeiros-Gallic alliance: I don't know what it does precisely, but I think in the early-game, the Gallic factions get a quest to conquer either Singidunum or Ak-Ink, together with the Epeirotes.

3)The Celtiberian Alliance: If the Lusotannan will attack Numantia, a fullstack will be spawned to counter the Luso's.

They were indeed, replaced by the Saka Rauka.

I believe that Iberian stack still works. It did in 1.0 at least.

[General Appo]

Yes, it does work in 1.1, if it is indeed Moskon you are talking about. As for Chersonesos, I thought that would be togheter with the other script parts about that sort of stuff, but apparently not.
I´m very curious about this Epeiros-Gauls thing though, I´ve never heard nor noticed anything like it before. Also whats with the Sweboz triumphs?

[johnhughthom]

Returning Alexanders body used to work though didn't it? I'm sure I remember doing it in an old Makedonia campaign. Maybe I just dreamt it, I do have a scary number of EB dreams.:shame:

[Hax]

It worked before the inclusion of Saba, so that would be 0.72.
