Hording problem

[jjca]

I am editing out all Horse Archers, as there is nothing more annoying to me than chasing them around the map until the time runs out. So I went and edited descr_sm_factions and, for instance, made the hun horde:

horde_unit hun horde spearmen
horde_unit hun horde spearmen
horde_unit hun horde chosen warriors
horde_unit hun horde spearmen
horde_unit hun horde spearmen
horde_unit hun horde chosen warriors
horde_unit hun horde chosen warriors
horde_unit hun horde chosen warriors

so then I was testing with the Goths, the Huns came down and took my capitol, but their hordes didn't disband at all. So i'm wondering if anyone has an idea on why this is. Also what is this:

horde_disband_percent_on_settlement_capture 33
horde_disband_percent_on_settlement_capture 50
horde_disband_percent_on_settlement_capture 100

And why are there three of them?

[professorspatula]

horde_disband_percent_on_settlement_capture 33
horde_disband_percent_on_settlement_capture 50
horde_disband_percent_on_settlement_capture 100

This tells the game how much of the horde should disband when a settlement is captured. For the first settlement captured, one third of the horde units will disband. For the second settlement, half of the remaining horde disbands, and finally on the third settlement, all remaining horde units disband and take to propping up the bar and making rude gestures at the busty wenches, that type of thing.

You could make it so the horde can capture more settlements before disbanding by adding more lines like above, etc.


I have no idea why their horde didn't disband if they captured your capital. Did they actually settle there or just sack it? And if they did settle, are you sure some far away horde stack didn't disband?
