Europa Barbarorum 2.08e is released!

[madmatg]

After reinstallining I'm changing to kh, turn 6 and I already observed those silly epirote generals walking to taras haha. Macedonia, let me take korinthos without reinforcing and they still haven't sent anything down to fight with me(only turn 8 though)

1.
Baktria independence war could not be won. The condition for both HE_BAKTRIA_FORGIVEN and HE_BAKTRIA_KINGDOM is baktria_battlewon > 5 ,but
if I_CompareCounter baktria_battlewon = 5
terminate_monitor
end_if
so the condition is never met

2.
Infinite Hellenic Colony
;
; Re-enable the event counter after the player has clicked the end turn button. If this isn't done, the colony builing will never complete.
;
monitor_event ButtonPressed ButtonPressed end_turn
set_event_counter ecMakedoniaColonistsOn 1
end_monitor
;
; Disable the event counter at the end of faction turn.
;
monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType f_makedonia
set_event_counter ecMakedoniaColonistsOn 0
end_monitor

from the above I guess the ecMakedoniaColonistsOn type variables are "global", they are enabled at player's
end turn and disabled at their end turns.
Q:What happens when Makedonia is destroyed by AI before it's turn at end of turn 114?
A:I, Baktria with no metropolis, can build colony and polis every turn everywhere since turn 115.

Hey, did a fresh reinstall of EBII, added this on top but now game always crashes when launching a custom battle. Have I messed up somewhere? campaign crashed too. On clicking start in both these cases so guessing it's a loading screen issue.

EDIT: Fixed. my bad!

I've changed that "=" to ">" which should mean it's now possible to meet. Thanks for spotting that.

This, however, looks more fundamental. I'll need to get some help with fixing it.

Again, thanks for spotting this.

Alright everyone, 2.02b released - with a slew of fixes and a few more changes.

EDIT: Sorry, one more change to make, will be back shortly.

[QWE_asd]

Sorry I didn't include it in my first post, but you also need to change the condition of regions gained for baktria reform.

As for the colony system, I think it's easier to implement it using m2tw's guild system. I know it's a lot work for a overhaul
but the guild system fits the colonies best and separate the guild/colony script from campaign script makes it easier to fix & expand.

Do you have the details of what needs to change? If so, I can edit that in now and include in 2.02b when I release it shortly, just testing one other amendment.

Sounds like one for the full release, rather than trying to cobble something together now.

change from 2.02a, I capped battles won at 5 and regions gained at 3:

---------------------
It seems the player can get infinite colony pts by accident and AI always gets infinite colony pts.

Can someone explains this:
;

;
monitor_event ButtonPressed ButtonPressed end_turn
set_event_counter ecMakedoniaColonistsOn 1

I've changed both of those battles_won/regions_taken conditions to > rather than = it's more reliable, apparently.

It now looks thus:
