Ok, figured it out. The ability will not work with Rus Original. Rus only uses Unit subtype designations within ListParams1 and ListParams2. And as far as I can see, you cannot use both Params at the same time for an ability. Unit Subtype is very broad and not very useful. I assume any game using AG...

PS: The abilities and attribute system definitely works for Espana. I found 4 abilities that weren't set up yet. I was able to activate them using the ability and attribute system. Although they were simpler abilities than what I am trying to set up for tanks.

Jagger2013

I suspect the problem lies with the attribute system. I am not sure it is suppose to work with RUS. I have the RUS abilities database and it doesn't even have columns for strParam6 and strParam7 attributes. Also I see plenty of models with attributes but all appear to be custom coded rather than tie...

Thanks Bohemend, I had to change the ability because I want the unit facing tanks to suffer the penalties. For some reason, the game is not recognizing the ability. When I hover the mouse over the ability, it claims it is an erroroneous ability. Ran some test battles anyway and I am seeing no eviden...

Hello Bohemond, AGE Wiki seems not up to date regarding BattleBonus Ability Kind. But recent xls file posted by you seems to confirm models with StrParam7 will suffer from this special Battle Bonus Abi kind from models with StrParam6 attribute. Not sure if my sentence is clear. Some previous email e...

Jagger2013

I noticed in a siege ability that you can designate by picking specific params whether the effects apply to the opposing unit or the owning unit. As far as I can tell that option is not available for battlebonus abilities. Since the option doesn't appear available for battlebonuses, that suggests th...

I am modding the disrupter ability for RUS. Here is the modded ability: UID = 145 Name = $abi_nam_Disrupter Alias = Disrupter Kind = $abiBattleBonus Text = $abi_txt_Disrupter ImageID = abi_SiegeExpert.png Color = $colAbi_Green Appliance = Self Family = 0 Level = 1 ProgRate = 0 Param1 = 90 Param2 = -...

cant download aacw, ncp database and ageod map editor in this thread. http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthrea...es-for-modding need new downlaod link. Unfortuantely those links haven't worked for awhile. And I would really like the Map Editor myself. is there a aje database to download? For whatever r...

I would like to fix the weather for the start of game in some specific weather theaters. I don't think it is possible but wanted to doublecheck. If it is not possible, it would be a nice feature for scenario designers and modders. In some cases, historic weather is necessary if you want one side or ...

I recommend doing a google search for wiki Ageod modding. It is a fairly comprehensive guide to learn the basics of modding. You will find all the basic modding questions answered there. If anything is still unclear, you can find many of those same basic questions answered in the history of this for...

One tip, you can adjust the positioning of regions by simply changing coordinates in the region file. Cities will appear with the new coordinates the next time you start the game. However to change positioning of startup units requires changing coordinates and then running the setup scenario file th...

Jagger2013

You can also move around the sprites graphically within the game Yes, that is my intention. Some units and towns are displaced so far from the center of regions that it is difficult to tell which region they belong to. So I wanted to change the centering coordinates for some specific regions. Thank...

Jagger2013

Is there a source anywhere that defines the purpose of each of the various lines of a region file? I am particularly curious what lines determine where a town or a unit is placed within the region. I am also wondering whether you can mod information within a region file or if you must use the map ed...

In the original RUS, some area penalties worked and some didn't.

I believe this Abilities spreadsheet was originally created by Lodilefty. It is very useful. However some of the comments are cryptic. I have expanded comments and provided some examples which will hopefully make the abilities spreadsheet a little more useful. Understanding the strParam6 and strPara...

Sounds great!

Leibstandard, any luck with making the Espana database available for download? I have been watching but haven't seen anything. Did I miss it?

There is a way to create a supplemental promotion system. Basically leaders are given a percentage chance each turn of promotion independent of experience points. The percentage chance can vary by time periods and by individual leaders. One additional plus to the promotion event is that leaders may ...

Jagger2013

Very nice! I wonder if your program would be useable with other AGEOD titles as well? I assume it would.

PS: It would be nice if the program could create separate reports for each faction within a game for PBEM purposes. And I believe some AGEOD games have up to 4 or 5 factions.

Jagger2013

Oops, that make sense. Although I guess I will have to go look at that battle closer. I still cannot understand how 5 caesarian legions plus 2 cavalry regiments lost to 2 pompeian legions plus some militia fighting in open terrain and clear weather. And why didn't the two cavalry regiments fight at ...

There is no publically released database for AJE or any of the add-ons that I know of. If there was, it would be very easy to locate all the errors. I just started opening model files related to the oddities I saw in the one battle.

Jagger2013

I was playing a PBEM of the Caesar vs Pompei scenario using version 1.03C. I started noticing some odd battle results. When I looked closer at the battles, I discovered some weird database values for various models. Here are three models and their Off/Def values. 7CMNHeavyInfantry Off 0 Def 0 14CMNH...

Jagger2013

It means you are not getting victory points even though you contol the city. IIRC, if your loyalty at the location is below a certain percentage, you must occupy the position with a unit of regular troops to get the Victory points. Militia won't give you the victory points. The manual should have th...

If you are new to AGEOD games and would like the best game for someone new, I would recommend Ala Jacta Est. ACW is excellent but can be overwhelming due to size to someone new to the series. I don't have Hannibal TOR, so I can't comment on it but I know AJE is excellent and relatively low unit dens...

Jagger2013

Thanks. I would definitely like to get a copy of the database. It is very helpful to have all the data in one place for study and experimentation. I am curious about military control during battles. I have noticed that attackers don't seem to gain military control at all until they have pushed the d...

Jagger2013

PS: Not every leader must have a percentage chance of promotion. Although only leaders with a promotion model can be promoted by tech upgrade. Percentage chances of promotion for each leader can be different. You could give a higher percentage chance of promotion for the hotshot leaders. You could a...

Ok, finally figured out how it is done in Fiscal Years. Can be done for CW2 and probably any AGEOD game. Here is the event that is used. SelectFaction = $WHI StartEvent = evt_nam_WHI_PromotionsA|1|1|NULL|NULL|NULL|NULL Conditions CheckAILevel = 1 MinDate = 1918/09/01 MaxDate = 1922/02/12 Probability...

Jagger2013

Wow, I like what I am seeing so far-beautiful map and units. But it also looks like the designers broke a lot of rules making the game. I definitely like that. Combat values are very unusual for models but appears to be producing good results. 7 day turns. Railroads are not high speed supertrains. A...

Just bought Espana and looking forward to giving it a shot. Downloaded everything but I can't find the database. So where can I download the Espana database?

Jagger2013

Good reading. So who was the foreign liason staff with the Army of Northern Virginia that was sending intelligence reports to the Union?
