Castle battle modding.

[Lord Romulous]

is their anyway to mod the castle maps so that in order for
victory for the assaulter to be achived.

1. all the enemy must be dead or routed off map.
2. all walls must be breached.
3. is there anyway to add a door in the keep which to must be breached for victory.


if this was possible, i am guessing that the ai would not be able to handle it unless eat cold steel made some changes ?

thanks for any assistance.

at the moment it seems very silly that you can win castle maps with walls not breached.

[Lord Romulous]

any ideas ? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

First two questions, I think so.
Victory conditions can be set.
As to the exact details I'm not sure yet.
Although the ai will come out to get you if it
thinks it can beat you in an open
fight.

The third, I can't see why not.
But I'v not tried.

Now you have some ideas you might get some answeres http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

i dont mind if the ai stations all its visible troops at first wall. what i dont like is when u kill all these troops u get victory.

i think that even though all the enemy visible soliders are dead u should still have to take the castle by breaching all walls and entering the keep. Other wise it is like u did not take the castle at all ie u have left alive the invisible garrisons still holding the keep and its inner wall. I can not agree with victory for the castle assualter if all walls and keep are not breached.

note in the manual it gives reference to inherant garrisons for walls and towers etc so officaly there are invisible troops.

as you said, now how do we implement it.

I wish i had some tech knowledge but i dont. (but im about to start a reading campagin to go through all the posts at the dungeon to try and work it out how to mod)

Hello,

Breaching all the walls wouldn't be accurate. It also would require you to play with unlimited ammo or radically up the amount of ammo for siege engines. (And also ring the castle with siege engines, also not accurate. They often struggled to make ONE good breach.)

[Lord Romulous]

v'ger are you saying that if you dont breach all the walls then u should win the castle battle and get awarded the provence ??

to me that is just silly. how can u win the provence when the castle is still in enemy hands.

edit. maybe ur confused by what i mean by breaching.

by breaching i mean having the attacking army actually pass beyond all walls till they get to the keep. I dont mean u have to knock a hole in every wall. maybe u beach the gate or something with your troops.

but anyway this is discussion is not so relevent. everyone will have different perspectives on what should be in the game and what shouldn't.

the question is if u do want the victory condition to be all walls breached then how do you mod the files to achieve this ??

[Lord Krazy]

If place a unit in a keep it can't get out
so you got to get in to kill him.
Thats a simplistic way for staters.
I'll get back to you on this.
Other people know more about this than
me I'm sure.I haven't done any of this
since the demo so as usual I forgot http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif
