Help! Having problems of adding a garrison into city.

[Terrius]

Okey, I'm modding Rome: total war - BI 1.6
I have been doing some tests, change town ownership to other faction, this worked well, but then I had big problems with adding units into that town. And mostly because of the generals name, and I don't know why.

I've already tested tons of names from a specific faction from descr_names.txt, yet still, no good.
oh and I've tested to put in that town a Family member that already exists in the game from beginning - works pefectly.

Help!!! Some strange problems with names or whatever....:help::help:

Could be any number of things... name formatting, relative record formatting, age rules, etc.

What error do you get? Do you have -show_err in the shortcut's command line?

It'd be a lot easier to find the problem if you posted the code you've added/changed.

Btw, unless you want to have a governor in that settlement, you can add a garrison directly to the settlement. Here is an example that shows the syntax:



settlement
{
level town
region Lucania; Grumentum
year_founded 0
population 1480
plan_set default_set
faction_creator epirus
garrisoned_army
unit fac rome light infantry exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit aor oscan skirmishers exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
building
{
type core_building governors_house
}
}

yeah I've got that error msg.
It's saying that there is an error in descr_strat, and that there R some problems with the name of the general, He can't generate him or sort of, also he's saying that there might be a problem with the gendre, but I studied everythink clearly.

thx for that idea about adding units, I'll try that out.

Oh, Big thx, everything works perfectly. Now I can continue my modding experiments.
Here's 5 Green baloons for ya. :balloon2::balloon2::balloon2::balloon2::balloon2:

A bit late to the party, however:
The problem seems to be the name of your general. I solved this by just copying one of the general's names that were already below and just edited his position and army comp.

example source:
character sub_faction gauls, Erbin, general, age 20, , x 83, y 84
...

copied and edited to:
character sub_faction gauls, Erbin, general, age 20, , x 71, y 120
...


update: this only works on the rebel faction.
