LordStark Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Quote Then you can use the skirmish replacer feature of the game. Basically skirmish entities are entities that get replaced by that of the current civilisation when the game starts. This is how for example iberians start with walls. Skirmish walls are placed all around civ centers and only iberians have a matching building. The rest get nothing instead. Expand Can I get some advice regarding implementing this feature? If I understand this correctly, I need to open up the scenario editor and then load every map in the entire game one-by-one and build a wall/fortress around every single starting location. So that means for an 8 player map, I would need to do 8 fortresses and then save the map and open up the next one. For the wall, I would need to make a new wall called "special_anglo_wall" by simply copying and pasting the wall files for the Anglo side of Millennium AD and insert the line <SkirmishReplacer/> in each file. Is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily for you, we already did this for a few maps, because of the iberian walls. The lines you are interested in are 75-79 of the following file https://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/data/civs/iber.json#L76 On 28/06/2022 at 12:43 PM, LordStark said: For the wall, I would need to make a new wall called "special_anglo_wall" by simply copying and pasting the wall files for the Anglo side of Millennium AD and insert the line <SkirmishReplacer/> in each file.

LordStark Posted June 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Thanks for your reply, I edited the anglo.json file. However, it did not work: Quote "SkirmishReplacements": { "skirmish/structures/default_house_5": "structures/{civ}/house", "skirmish/units/default_cavalry": "units/{civ}/cavalry_spearman_b", "skirmish/units/default_infantry_ranged_b": "units/anglo/infantry_javelineer_b" "skirmish/structures/wall_short": "structures/iber/wall_short", "skirmish/structures/wall_medium": "structures/iber/wall_medium", "skirmish/structures/wall_long": "structures/iber/wall_long", "skirmish/structures/wall_gate": "structures/iber/wall_gate", "skirmish/structures/wall_tower": "structures/iber/wall_tower" Expand The green words are the only change I made (after copy and pasting the lines fromthe Iber.json file.
