kt0's autoresolve system

[Sir Integra Hellsing]

Just one question:
How to implement kt0's system for autoresolved battles
I don't know much about tweaking the .txt files so please... I need a detailed guide how to do this...

 

[Wellenbrecher]

AFAIK that will be part of the next patch, which is currently being worked on.

Apart from that I'm pretty sure that you can't implement it by just using the .txt files. You'd need the NE source code, which you won't get.
Yet.

Yep. Josef has it pretty much working. It will only affect non-player battles though, so you won't be able to just sit back and let your 40 crusaders own every battle in autocalc. It's specifically designed to help the DKs. They will not die out like they currently tend to, in fact, you will struggle to shift them once they get a foothold.

Aye, we're using it as a mechanism to provide DK Stickability, so that the player has to deliver the land from the Dark Knight menace, and can't rely on the 5 factions to mop them up using autoresolve.

As Pellagus said, with the uber-troops in this mod, it's too easy to abuse the system if we include it for the player.

The game would just turn into a grind fest a la Medieval Total War campaign...

It always does anyway, it may as well be a challenging grind

We may have made the buggers too strong; I don't know if the player will be able to keep up with their conquest of Calradia. Certainly a lot more preparation will be needed before they invade.

In the worst case, CTRL + SHIFT + F4 can stop even an army of Larktins.

*facepalm* Too me, cheats ruin the game. Why win every battle? Having the chance of losing makes it even more fun for fighting. I only use cheats for boosting Mercantile and money, because i dont feel like getting into economics...

Hypocritical much?

 

[Sushi]

Please don't make the need for preparation too insane... I don't want this to just turn into another Sword of Damocles.

I would love to be able to (for example) play solo until the DKs arrive, but still have a shot at turning things around afterwards.

I meant, cheats that are on the battlefeild. I even said before that i didnt wanna get into the economics, so ya.

 

[Kinsume]

Cheating is cheating, regardless of what form you use it in.

Sushi : Just increase the number of days before they show up to give yourself more time to establish your empire. Also try to make sure that your empire exists primarily on one of the edges of the map so there will be more targets between you and the dark knights. Not that it matters much if they're set to specifically focus on the player, but atleast theres a chance they will run into things on their way to you which helps out some.

 

[Jhnking]

Its only money cheats- i doesnt ruin youre entire game as if you Shift+Control F4'd EVERY battle.

SoD gives you alot of time, it's called quit sucking and man up, I plan on stomping the DK's with Rhodoks, again.

It's going to mean a much harder fight to beat them, but then again, you can disable them. It could turn out to be a big change, but the autocalc system has bugged a lot of people for a long time and we hope this solves the problem of the DKs arriving and then getting wiped out.

Anyway, you know what they say, be careful what you wish for....

 

[Articulo34]

Well, if NE gets ported to Warband. The DK will need all help they can get. Since now its usual for the different factions to gather a lot of troops before going into an offensive. And they go into offensive more often.

For Warband i would suggest lowering the amount of troops each DK lord have (except the Lady Larktin) and create more of them.

 

[Jhnking]

They are thinking about porting to warband, i think, but I also think they were going to create a second wave of lords, too. So, is it More Lords, the fixed Auto-Calc, or both?

 

[Josef_the_Pretender]

Dammit, had 500 words written and connection went down 

Anyway, same amount of Lords as before.

You don't have to cheat at all, just use TweakMB to tweak the tournament bet amounts. Make the maximum bet 5000 instead of 500 and you will be able to get 199000+200 gold from a single tournament. I did this so I wouldn't be obliged to participate in every single tournament that is held in Calradia
Some may still call this cheating, but shouldn't we be allowed to bet whatever we want?
