Gandalf's Crazy Solo Games

[Edratman]

I have an idea to make a semi-no-independents game. I cannot code it, but I think it will woek.

1. Create 2 or 3 new nations comprised of independents. These nations would have no mages or blessed troops. All they could do is recruit archers, infantry, cavalry, mundane commanders. Call these "Mundane Nations"
2. Give the nations a starting troop strength of several commanders, heavy infantry, archers, in adequate strength to represent level 5 to 9 indy starting strength.
3. Set up the nations so that they do not start with a castle.
4. Here is the part I do not know how to do. If for example you have a 100 province map and are using 10 DOM3 nations you would set up 70 of these "mundane nations" as additional opponents. That would randomize the remaining 20 provinces with recruitable independents and you would not be able to recruit the national troops of the "Mundane Nations". The starting provinces would also always be randomized if someone can figure out if this works.

The big problem that I don't know how to get around is how to setup the same nation multiple times.

You can create a castled province which is owned by independents (nation 23). You can create as many of those as you wish. But like independents, they will not break out of that province.

You can also create fully AI nations by using the empty nation slots. at the moment those are 70-79

And, now that I think of it...
The max number of nations is 80. It seems as though you could use as many of those as you want. Either as they are, or rebuilt.

You just copy and paste the code for the nation and change the nation number accordingly. You won't run into the usual troubles with the descriptions or icons that mod nations have, since you're going to use stock units only.
