Retraining

[Reverend Joe]

I will touche this, simply becuse of the fact that Zorba cannot be taken seriously save for seldom occasions.

I have my moments of clarity... and others when


"A man needs a little madness..."






...As for the full gold chevron units, that's a good question... I guess you'll just have to assume they are permanent elite units, such as the immortals or the Sacred Band. Consider it an honor to destroy one of them.

[We all need someone]

Or EVERY GODDAMN UNIT OF HETAIROI. Those bastardys always have at least a silver chevron, and are nutty McNut-Nuts. I dunno who on the EB Team has the real hard-on for Macedon, but screw the Hetairoi. That horsie ain't as heavily armored in your little pictures as the Pontic General, Cataphracts, and just as armored/armed as Greek Generals, Thessalian Cavalry, ad nauseum.

"Elan" only goes so far, my friends.

Haven't been able to test this as my pc won't run Rome but while looking through prologue script I noticed the script command, "replenish_units Gaius Julius".

If it was possible to make the ai factions effectively retrain whenever they were in an unsieged city that would be better than giving them extra money imo.

[LorDBulA]

Its not possible. I wish it where.

"replenish_units Gaius Julius". as you can see in this example you have to know general name when you write script. And we just cant know how generals will be named afther 20,30,100 years.
To do this we would have to make all possible combinations, there is just to many.

It definately looks like it was intended to only work with a general/captain's name defined, but maybe someone can give it a go with a settlement name instead? Something like this:

monitor_event FactionTurnEnd seleucid
and not I_LocalFaction seleucid
and I_SettlementOwner Rome = seleucid
replenish_units Rome
end_monitor

Or something to that effect?

But again, it was definately intended to use a character's name rather than a settlement name - but it might work. Who knows...

is there any way that you could give all generals the same ''name'' and give them a unique name some other way?

The AI never retrains, from what I understand, so if you just don't retrain, it shouldn't be a problem.

The AI occassionally retrains, but its rare in 1.2. After 40-50 years you'll start to see triple silver and quite a few golds at full strength coming out of very heavily fought over area's. As an example in my Romani campaign (VH/VH) the audeui now have a couple triple gold chevron gestatea its 211 B.C. Lot of it has to do with the difficulty of the campaign map, and I believe the harder battles may help too since all ai to ai battles are auto resolved.
