New Broken Crescent game

[Myth]

Excellent Phonics! Will you be joining this one? I figure with you and Silver in it that'd be a great game. Can you get some of the other vets to come back, like Pizza or GH?

Version 2.02 requires the M2TW disc to play, not Kingdoms. Because mine is in storage and not accessible so I won't be able to play.

I can't join at this stage, sorry guys. Maybe I'll take over a faction later when someone leaves or something.

Actually, mine too! the perfect excuse

yea the 2.02 version still is with the original medieval disc. im somewhat sure the 2.3 version is with the new disc. tho theres just a few permanent forts in the 2.3 version. so thats also stupid

So, 92 is the new "few"? That's how many forts I count in the file. I lost track a few times and had to recount so I may be off somewhat.

Yes, 2.3 uses Kingdoms not the original M2TW.

We are planning on lead battles so not being able to make forts ruins the game alltogether. So what now? Which version can you guys play that has both forts and is ready for Kingdoms?

Do we get a way to mod forts back into the latest version?

The second question is answerable. Forts can be made buildable if its that important. A simple one word edit of the descr_campaign_db.xml file will do it. Change can_build_forts bool="false" to "true" I'll test it and report back.

Have you seen the movement points used here? Most cities in western half of map can be reached in one turn. Forts can be easily bypassed.

edit: it worked. Forts are 500 cost and permanent. Don't know what they look like on battlemap-could be stone or wood.(probably stone the way the file reads.

You can bypass forts but fort-blocking a siege or chokepoints is crucial in LB hotseats. Thank you very much for the help with this. So shall we try the latest version with a slight change that allows forts to be built?
