Modding militias (1.10e)

[shotgunfacelift]

Hi
I want to stop militias disbanding for FRA.
Found the Units I want to mod in UNIT files.
But the line to edit doesn't seem to be in UNITS.
I think the rule could be in EVENTS or somewhere else.
If someone knows please tell me.
Thanks

[Bohémond]

What are the units you want to mod.

uni_CAN_Can1, uni_CAN_Can2, uni_CAN_Can3, uni_CAN_Can4, uni_CAN_Cou1 are managed by Autoraise rules and you cannot prevent them from disbanding without altering these rules.

Yes these #222 to #227 units are the ones I want to mod.
Looked around but I haven't found in the game files Autoraise for FRA 1755.

I'm ok with altering Autoraise if it's possible. Or any other solution that you'd kindly suggest

[Bohémond]

The autoraise declaration is located in the script file (Script55COL.ini), see line below

SelectFaction = $FRA
AutoRaise = $uni_INF_Bra3|1|0
AutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can1|3|60
AutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can2|3|60
AutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can3|3|60
AutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can4|4|60
AutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Cou1|8|5


If you create an event with the following ;

SelectFaction = $FRA

ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can1|0|-60
ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can2|0|-60
ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can3|0|-60
ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can4|0|-60
ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Cou1|0|-5

It should prevent these units from disbanding.

Thanks Bohémond.

On a fresh game, no save, just editing the script file wouldn't work ?
Or do I really have to go with an event ?

[Bohémond]

The script file is used to generate the scenario, editing it will not work.

You need to go with an event.

Let me know if you need guidance for it.

Regards

[shotgunfacelift]

Ok yes I do need assistance please.

The event needs to be at the end of 1755 Campaign.sct in Events file ?

How is that

Code: Select all

SelectFaction = $FRA

  ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can1|0|-60
  ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can2|0|-60
  ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can3|0|-60
  ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can4|0|-60
  ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Cou1|0|-5

EndEvent

[Bohémond]

You are right , it has to be added at the end of 1755 Campaign.sct file but the COL one.

The event should look like below ;

Code: Select all

StartEvent = evt_FRA_MilitiaDisbandOff|1|0|NULL|NULL|NULL|NULL

Conditions


Actions
SelectFaction = FRA
  ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can1|0|-60
  ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can2|0|-60
  ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can3|0|-60
  ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Can4|0|-60
  ChgAutoRaise = $uni_CAN_Cou1|0|-5


EndEvent

It will fire after the first turn resolution.

Take a look to the scriptreports to check for good appliance.

[Bohémond]

You are welcome, enjoy your game,

Militias still disbanding, here's what script says, looks like event can only fire once ?

Code: Select all

I am away from my computer for a few days.
I will look at it upon my return and make some tests.

Regards

[shotgunfacelift]

Pretty cool, thanks.
I'm trying to figure it out on my side.

[Bohémond]

I have run a test with the provided event.

Militia units ( in Montréal, Québec and Trois rivières) are not disbanding at the end of the year 1755 and additional militia units do raise in April 1756 in Québec and Montréal.

Is is still not working on your side ?

Regards

[shotgunfacelift]

Same here. No disbanding in January 1756, and new militias raised normally.
Disbanding started in January 1757 and then regularly and randomly in January of other years.

I'm now in 1777.
Courreurs de bois never disbanded.
Small garrison militias never disbanded. (I've seen them disband in previous games)
Only militia left is the one at Louisbourg.

[Bohémond]

ok, I a am going to play a little more turns and check what happens in 1757.

[Bohémond]

Run a few turns more (April 1758). No militia has disbanded.
It should have some sort of probabilty somewhere.
The wiki article may clarify it: https://www.leqg.org/doc/age/www.ageod.net/agewiki/AutoRaise.html

[shotgunfacelift]

Thanks a lot for your time.
Something is wrong somewhere.
I'll look into it in my next game.
