leaders.reb

[MattyG]

I know that pirate leaders can be included in the game through a specific file named leaders.pir, wherein the leaders will appear if their stated location has a pirate vessel in it at the time they awaken.

Can the same thing be done with rebel leaders with a file named leaders.reb?

Or is there another way?

 

[MichaelM]

Well, all I know is that there is a file in Db\Leaders called "leaders.rev" (note rev, not reb) that contains:

	historicalleader = {
		id = { type = 6 id = 0370 }
		category = general
		name = "Pugatchev"
		startdate = {
			year=1770
		}
		deathdate = {
			year=1785
		}
		rank = 0
		movement = 4
		fire = 2
		shock = 3
		siege = 0
		special = 1
		remark = "Revolt historicalleader"
	}

I have never seen this leader appear, though (possibly because I rarely reach 1770).

I think it would be possible. It just need to be named .reb and not .rev or you have to add a line like this in the country definition:

    monarchtable = "db\monarchs\rebelmonarchs.txt"

just under TAG = REB

This would mean you could get people like bolivar and Giuseppe Garibaldi.

 

[MattyG]

Nice try, but it didn't work.

I think because that set of definitions is for a rebel nation, which that whole entry permits to exist. If the rebel state did emerge, then those deinifitions point it to a set of monarchs and leaders. But the leaders can't be accessed by rebels simply existing somewhere in the game.

 

[cool-toxic]

ohh well. Then maybe you can give them a military boost for their monarch?

 

[Khephren]

You have to define the leaders in the .inc file and it will work. I have a leader file for Pirates...it will not load leaders.pir, so I define in .inc file...

Works with Rebels too. Warning...if no army/navy of a minimum size is present, leader will appear in a random province that already contains an army/navy.

Interesting. I'll try this approach. But the AGCEEP has a leader.pir file, so either they don't know something you do, or the other way around.

But I'm going to try what you suggest. Thanks a lot!

 

[MattyG]

Afraid that didn't work. Hmmmm.

 

[Khephren]

Afraid that didn't work. Hmmmm.

Hmm, that's wierd because I have gotten it to work. Just to be clear, an army is not spawned, one has to be present already. As for the leaders.pir, it's a leftover from Vanilla Eu1.

 

[unmerged(40707)]

I will try it.

 

[MattyG]

Yes, the revolts were done via event, and I offset the birth of the rebel leaders by ten days, to ensure that, even with the game's lag on firing specific-date events, that the rebel troops would be in the specified provinces in time for their birth.

In case the names simply didn't appear, I made sure to watch the combats to see if leader values appeared in the cambat stat box thingies. Nothing more than 2 for the rebels.

I am glad to be wrong and hope that YodaMaster can make it work, then I can go back and look again at what I've done to see if there are errors.

 

[MattyG]

PROBLEM SOLVED.

I had to add the provinces to the list of known provinces, so that it knew where to place the leaders. I had left the known provinces list unedited, so all it knew were sea zones. Duh. o

Thanks again for your help with this.
