[PianoMath]

Ah, so you want ai castles/towns to have less defenders? Should be possible to tweak, I'll have a look. Reducing campaign ai difficulty in the options might do something like that, could be only for army size, can't remember.

Is there a way to force my lords to garrison more troops in their castles?

 

[Kelefane]

Kelefane, I had a look but no luck. The ships should be in the party records section as Kelefane's Ships, probably in the 800-1000 area, you could look there. The ship types might be saved as some indecipherable value though. Or could be stored somewhere else entirely.

Remember if you have the cheat menu enabled when you talk to a ship-wright you can have him insta-build ships for free.

Thank you sir!

 

[HunterAlpha1]

Thanks, did the edit, trying it out now.

 

[HunterAlpha1]

Ok it works with villages, don't know about towns yet, now how do I get it to work with forts? 

 

[kraggrim]

That tweak is only for villages. This town/castle one from kalarhan is outdated but I think should work:

I think TweakMB has an option for this, use the native 1.158 template.

Is there a way to force my lords to garrison more troops in their castles?

Probably, I've not managed to find what governs the max capacity yet though.

 

[HunterAlpha1]

Gr8 thanks!

 

[HunterAlpha1]

The tweakMB option for disabling stat loss at 757 days is grayed out, can you post a tweak please?

 

[Mike Hawk]

I'm trying to figure out how to change unit routing in game. More specifically, I'm trying to lower the threshold so that low level troops rout sooner.

Now in native, every unit gets a morale value assigned to it at spawn, which is then checked against the rout threshold after the time specified in the script.

Morale is calculated as 5000+level*35+rand(0,3000)+(partymorale-70)*30, where 5000 is the base native morale value.

This can be found in mission_templates.txt

Problem is, VC code here is completely different. I wonder if a dev could please tell me where the base morale value is (the one that's 5000 in native).

HunterAlpha1 have you actually seen this type of stat-loss happen?

It can start after day ~800 (very small chance), and after day ~1500 it is a 100% chance. But you only lose stats upon defeat in combat (you lose a battle)

Spoiler

TweakMB isn't letting me change the "Disable stat loss for games over 757 days old" option. I'm at day 811 and tbh I think this is not an insteresting mechanic. I didn't lose any stats yet.

Same base trigger as native for the "$g_player_luck", so you can change that variable if you want. How? Ask on the tweaks thread, as it is not a vanilla (normal game) question.

If anyone is wondering:
in Native (and VC is similar) you start with 200 "luck".
Every 7.5 days you lose 1 point.
After 757 days you have 100 "luck".
When you lose a battle the game chooses a random value between 0 and 99. If that random is higher than your "luck" you lose a stat point (STR, AGI or INT).
That means you start to risk losing points around day 765, but only if you lose a battle.
After day 1500... don't lose :XD

Sry was out and about so I haven't gotten a chance to see if I could recruit faction owning faction troops from town/castles.

So I guess after day 800 it's savescum time 

EDIT: No I haven't actually seen it happen, that's why I asked for a tweak before I got to that point, because I really don't want to risk loosing precious, precious stat points.  I have always thought that the stat loss was automatic, gradual over a period of time, acting as an aging system, rather than from loosing battles.

 

[HunterAlpha1]

Ok, I waited for at least a month and was unable to recruit my Norse troops from Dunwic, so I guess the tweak didn't work

I tested the 3500 value. Not sure it's the base morale but it did seem to have an effect. At 8000 no troops wanted to run away, at 0 almost half of them turned but most of them came back.

 

[kraggrim]

Narushima, if it's anything like native then morale is re-calculated periodically when it runs the script "decide_run_away_or_not". I don't know how this is worked out in VC but presumably if few of his team were killed, he's surrounded by friends, has full hit points and his party had decent morale then this can apply:

(ge, ":agent_courage_score", ":stop_running_away_courage_score_limit"), #if (courage score > 3700 - agent hit points) and (agent is running away) then stop running away, average hit points : 50, average running away limit = 1700
(agent_stop_running_away, ":cur_agent"),

Or something like it.

That 35 is how much the troop level is multiplied, the result is added to base courage. Maybe you could add an exception for low level characters.

I think these changes might work, hopefully you can copy and paste the block over. Tried to make it look like this:

Spoiler

(agent_get_troop_id, ":troop_id", ":agent_no"),
(store_character_level, ":troop_level", ":troop_id"),
  (try_begin),  #4 0
  (ge, ":troop_level", 20),  #30 1224979098644774917 20
  (val_mul, ":troop_level", 35),  #2107 2 1224979098644774917 35
  (try_end),  #3 0
(val_add, ":initial_courage_score", ":troop_level"),  #2105 2 1224979098644774915 1224979098644774917

So any troops under level 20 (change to whatever you want) only add their level rather than level-times-35. I think once battle is under way and guys are dead/wounded you should hopefully see it come into effect.



HunterAlpha1, I tried it too with no luck. Not sure why it's not working really. I think if you use the save editor to change the 'culture' slot of your town/castle to the same as your faction's culture then that might maybe do it. Not convenient but its the best I can think of for now.


kalarhan thanks for the info, my longest campaign was ~1400 days so I guess I was lucky not seeing it .

Kraggrim are you going to update your little texture mod?

Do you mean the pict bodies or the axe/sword one? Pict bodies I'll do next time VC updates, probably same for the sword/axe one. If you want to update that sword/axe one now, you can follow the instructions without swapping the items file. Then in your existing items file change the mesh of the woodcutter axe and bandit-king sword (use morgh's or just text edit) to be the same as in the downloaded items file.

I know nothing about coding nor anything, but... is it possible to implement kt0's auto-calc algorythm, or some other overhaul like that one, in Viking Conquest?

I had a quick look and I doubt it as we don't have the VC source code yet, plus I don't really understand the auto calc system. What is it about the system you want changed?

Try switching to your unmodified backup of menus.txt. Did this start happening after you applied a particular tweak?
