Small fix for upgraded bodyguards

**hrvojej** · 02-23-2005, 18:03

Just a little something I found while wading through the files. Scythia and Pontus have special upgraded bodyguard units. In 1.2 (at least), all upgraded bodyguards have general_unit_upgrade listed in the attributes line of their units. However, this is missing for Pontic and Scythian upgraded generals, which leads me to believe that they won't upgrade together with everybody else. So, in the export_decr_unit.txt for the units "barb scythian general scythian" and "east pontic general" add general_unit_upgrade at the end of the attributes line. In other words, the attributes line should end up with:

hardy, general_unit_upgrade

for both units. I haven't tested this in the campaign, since it would be a long wait for the reforms etc., but I think this is how it should be, since it's like that for all other bodyguard units.

Cheers,

Hmmm, as far as I can see this only applies to the Scythian general. I can find no early version of the Pontic general, nor for that matter of the Briton general.

The following should clear it up (copied from EDU.txt with the rest of the lines snipped out):

type east generals cavalry early
dictionary east_generals_cavalry_early ; Eastern General
attributes sea_faring, general_unit, hide_forest, hardy
ownership eastern

type east generals cavalry
dictionary east_generals_cavalry ; Armoured Eastern General
attributes sea_faring, general_unit, hide_forest, hardy, general_unit_upgrade
ownership parthia, armenia

type east pontic general
dictionary east_pontic_generals ; Eastern General
attributes sea_faring, general_unit, hide_forest, hardy
ownership pontus

So, all eastern factions get the same early generals, while Parthia & Armenia should get cataphracts and Pontus should get a special one after the upgrade. Therefore, general_unit_upgrade is missing from the Pontic general's attribute line.

Cheers,

edit: Britons don't upgrade their generals: they always have charioteers as generals.

I think you are right. The changes look right anyway.

I can't remember, was this a problem in v1.1? I looked through the v1.1 data files and I don't see any general_unit_upgrade attributes. Is this a new attribute?

drone,

IIRC generals upgrades were not working at all in 1.1 if I remember the bug posts from others correctly. At least I never noticed them, but I think I only went through the drudgery of waiting for the reforms once or twice.
