Re: [MOD] Ancient Orient BC1000

Thanks for making this scenario available as a zip file. It is an excellent scenario in general and I appreciate that is small and so doesn't take so long to play to the end.

As well as that, looking at your scenario has been an excellent guide to making the changes I need to make to mine.

Re: distance of new cities from old

Hi dejvid2, Cablenexus was pretty much right in those answers. My aim is to discourage the AI from building cities and so the cities that are in play are the historical ones in their historical location as specified by the scenario. I am not sure I understand what you mean by "cities that are ...

Re: distance of new cities from old

Thanks for a very complete reply. I did wonder if there was a simple way to do this. It seems not but going thru this will teach me a lot about scripting etc.
Thank you.

(And the big USE AT YOUR OWN RISK duly noted)

distance of new cities from old

I want to increase the distance that a settler has to be from the existing cities before a city can be founded.

My aim is to discourage the AI from building cities and so the cities that are in play are the historical ones in their historical location as specified by the scenario.

Re: Peloponnese scenario

It should be nice to also add it to the Steam Workshop if you use Steam. Simply use the "publish" button ingame and edit the description in Steam via your Workshop menu. I'm afraid I just haven't managed to get Steam and Aggressors to link up. I've subscribed to several scenarios but ther...

Peloponnese scenario

Now that the map creation tool is out I done a scenario covering the Peloponnese and have uploaded it here: http://kart-hadasht.co.uk/game/aggressors/peloponesesmall.php It is playable but all the flags etc are the same as the original scenario and the only faction that is the same is the Spartans. ...

Re: V 1.0.5. "Creators update" changelog

This tool is simply awesome. It is far more polished and user friendly than I was expecting. More than in my wildest dreams. I have already got a scenario into playable form. There is one downside. It is so quick to create maps that I will soon have far far more than it will ever be possible to make...

Re: Auto self heal and auto train

and it doesnt include the auto-heal (which is not an action). I hope you agree that this is absolute overkill especially when we consider that most of the other strategy games do not even have two ways... Neither recover or heal-self is actually meant to be used like this and if you do, you not onl...

Re: Aggressors Dev Diary #12 - Creators Update

Awesome! I did get it wrong first time round because I thought you had to click on the map to tell it which color I wanted to make the particular terrain type. Instead, which I am sure will be obvious to most. What ever is black at each stage will be the terrain you select. But the map builder is so...

Re: Auto self heal and auto train

I hope it sheds some light on the reason why we dont want to go into that (despite it is not that difficult from implementatio...

Re: Auto self heal and auto train

Auto Self Heal is available in the game - I believe it shows up available as a unit upgrade fairly far into the game I have not noticed auto train That is true. Medics I believe? But that is a heal instantly ability. Very useful but that's about how the underlying game works, what I'm talking about...

Re: Auto self heal and auto train

If you have troops on a quiet front who are just there in case an ally stabs you in the back then there is nothing else for them to do but train.

Auto self heal and auto train

Is there a way of telling unit to keep self healing turn by turn and not to bother me again till they're well again? Likewise is there a way of telling unit to keep adding improvements until they have trained themselves in all the available improvements? (In this case I would lose the ability to pri...

I would like to have some of the key interface in ancient Greek

What do you need to do this?

The file ResourceTexts.resx looks promising but I also suspect that editing it could crash the program.

Diplomacy Interface

The underlying Diplomacy is awesome. I can think of a couple of minor tweaks but essentially it is pretty near perfect as can be. However: Information is quite hard to get to because it is buried quite deep. For example if you want to know who a rival power is at war with you first go to the page wh...

Re: Can't Produce Wood

I think you have overdone the wanting to avoid overwhelming the player. Working out where information is has been hard for me because it often requires you to go through several sub-windows to get to it. This is compounded by reliance on icons or clickable items that don't to me look like they have ...
