A question about walls

[podoh]

When I read all this, I think it makes sense to switch to current plan into: "castles" for settled provinces, "cities" for nomadic provinces. But probably the team has thought of problems with this we haven't thought of. I'd like to know their thoughts on this idea though.


EDIT: Ow, that's a lot of "thoughts" for such a short post. :)

Making suggestions without explaining things is remarkably unhelpful. Why would we switch the two, when the mechanics for the castles fit the pastoral settlements (no tax options, endless happiness) better than the city options. If you are thinking of the battlemap then you've mistaken the moddibilty of that area.

Eng... foot, I think I've mention the city_defences and castle_defences structures on the EDB..... and you must allready done the settlement plan swap, right? I meant the battle plan described on descr_cultures thingies or something.... I think that was changeable a bit...

descr_cultures defines what cities look like on the strat map not the battle map.

It is not as simple as just swapping entries in the EDB, that wouldn't do anything on the battle map, you have to edit things called .world files and it is by far the single most difficult thing to do in modding M2TW, don't expect much in this area for a long time.

Oh, bugger. Well it would have been nice, but you can't have everything I suppose.

That was indeed what I was thinking about.
I was already fearing that it would be impossible, but I didn't know that for sure. Thanks for clarifying.
