Giving the poor Makedonians their fleet back

[Reno Melitensis]

So move them with move_character.

Sorry if I ask you Quintus, but how is this done, never tried it before.

Cheers.

Open up the RomeShell and use the command [ move_character "First Last" x,y ] where x and y are the coordinates of the tile you want to send the stack to. You can find that with the command [ show_cursorstat ], which will return the coordinates of the tile your cursor is currently on. Omit the brackets when typing in these commands. When dealing with a captain, the first name is "Captain". Characters with three names may need to have the middle and last names combined like this: "Middlelast" (make sure the last name is not capitalized - I'm pretty sure the shell is case-sensitive), or they may need to have the last name omitted (if it's a title of some kind, I think...not quite sure how to tell sometimes). You might need to try it a few times with those.

Ok thanks Constantius III, I will try it for the first time.

Cheers.

Constantius III are you talking about the Rome LNT file in the sp game edu backup.? If so with what do I open this file.

Cheers.

No, you do it in the game itself. On most American keyboards one uses the ~ key to open up the shell, but I'm not sure what it would be on a Spanish one. Whatever's above "Tab", probably.

I'm going to try to do this via the script, by spawning a fleet at the beginning of the Mak turn.

If it works I'll post back here with the script I used..

Thanks for the tip Const. but at first I forgot what the RomeShell was. You know, after playing RTW for about 5 years now, I am still allien to many of its functions.

Cheers.

ok this didn't work, but it might be due to my poor scripting abilities

what I did was add the following at the end of the EB/Data/scripts/EBBS_SCRIPT.TXT file before the last line which says 'end_script'

spawn_army
faction macedon
character Bolon, admiral, command 2, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 20, x 150, y 123
unit generic ship penteconterai, hellenistic_infantry_pantodapoi_illyrian, 13, 0, 1
end

Then I loaded my game, activated the script and hit end turn, hoping to see the fleet pop up when the AI turn cycle was ended. Of course it didn't..

Can anyone see any obvious errors in that script or my method which would stop this from working?
