Re: ::Alexander EB:: ALX.exe EB mod
The features:
We can use that for short campaigns, if that feature works in Alexander (I am certain it does), for characters like Pyrrhos to survive. In any other campaign we can't because of the time span of EB.Originally Posted by Maksimus
That is very good and can be used for numerous changes.c) Mercenaries can be designated as ''faction-specified'' in the campaign merc pool file. In ALX.exe, you can specify regional mercenaries to be recruitable only by certain factions.
Any skinners, modelers? If you please.d) ''Descr_Model_Battle.txt'' model's entries are increaseded from RTW/BI's 250 max (to at least 330+)
That one is most interessting. We can for example forbid AS to attack Pontos, Armenia and Baktria and focus on Ptolemaioi. We can also forbid Makedonia and Epeiros to attack the slaves and so concentrate on the Greek theatre. We can then change their diplomatic stance to the slaves by script later when they have achieved their targets down there.e) AI can be instructed in the ''Descr_Start'' file not to attack certain factions (unless at war already). There is ''ai_do_not_attack_faction'' in ''descr_strat'', which prohibits the AI to attack certain factions, except when they're at war!
Unfortuantly we can only use this for the starting characters. There is no way to mod characters that might appear later in the game, like a Caesar or a Hannibal.j) The next big thing is, of course, the unique general models. You can have battle and strat model and portraits that cannot be used by any other general in the game.

I think the ALX.exe allows for a couple of fine "provincial campaigns" on the EB map, starting at some different points in history and focusing on specific characters and factions.
