Jan III Sobieski scenario

Double post (see previous page).

[McMonkey]

Excellent work!

[GhostOfDisco]

Yet another preview: the Brandenburg Curiasser:

[GhostOfDisco]

And here's the improved Brandenberg musketeer and curiasser (at least I think they're improved. You opnion my differ.)

And I've got the Russian army laid out. Now I just need to get the Brandenberg, Ottoman, Swedish, and Imperial forces figured out!

[MacGalleo]

Good job, I look forward to seeing that scenario.

[GhostOfDisco]

Hmmm, I worked up these events to try to make it so that the Tartars cannot negotiate (with the Poles, but it seems to be required to be everybody) until the city of Chigirin is taken. However, it does not seem to work (when I begin the scen as the Poles, when the Tartars march up to my cities they ask for negotiations.

@IF
Negotiation
talkermask=0b01100000000000000000000000000110
listenermask=0b01100000000000000000000000000110
@THEN
@ENDIF

@IF
CityTaken
city=Chigirin
attacker=Anybody
defender=Crimean Tartars
@THEN
JUSTONCE
Negotiator
who=Crimean Tartars
type=Listener
state=Clear
@ENDIF

@IF
CityTaken
city=Chigirin
attacker=Anybody
defender=Crimean Tartars
@THEN
JUSTONCE
Negotiator
who=Crimean Tartars
type=Talker
state=Clear
@ENDIF
@ENDEVENTS

What do I need to change to get my desired effect? Anyone have any advice on this?

[EZRhino]

Have you delevented' the save?

[GhostOfDisco]

Well, the problem occurs when I load up a test .scn file, which I think should not be bound by the .sav's rules fix...

[EZRhino]

Same rules apply to .scns as far as I know...

[GhostOfDisco]

Can anyone help me with Swedish uniforms? I found this site, but it's Swedish and autotranslation sites are working worse than usual.

Though, counting the regiments, it seems that the most common uniform color was the grey coat, and the most common facing was red. Which would make them very similar in color to the Danish cavalry.

I also found a pic of a Swedish dragoon that was purpoted to be from the late 1600s (after the TYW), but it looked too much like a Great Northern War guy, and was on a general purpose site, not a specialty page...

[GhostOfDisco]

Well, I used DELEVENT on both the .sav on which I work on the scen and the test .scn file itself. Fired up ToT, started the test scenario (on "Deus" level) and the Tartars asked to negotiate first chance they got.

I'm wondering just how I'm supposed to get what I want- the Tartars unable to negotiate until the lose the city of Chigirin. And that whole Negotiation/-ior mask how does that work - especially since there aren't 32 civs in Civ II. To aid in one's assistance (should one decide to assist me in this, here are the civs in Sobieski's rules.txt file:

And as a treat' attached below is a preview of two units:

The first is, obviously, a new rendering of Sobieski back in his old Hetman days. I decided to replace the old one as I decided not to use the English dragoon for the template for his Polish equivalent. The second is a Swedish soldier of the period - an accurate depiction of a musketeer of the Södermanlands regiment in all but hat (as you can see, I gave him a Swedish TYW hat, and the reference pic has the enlisted infantry in a more "Eastern/Northern" type of headgear. But the officer was wearing a Western-style hat, so it could be plausible.

Said pic will, at the very least, be a more accurate placeholder than the TYW unit...

A bit of an update: for the time being, I'm moving the first turn from January to August of 1667, because I read somewhere that that was when Doroshenko moved against Poland.

Also, I'm having a bit of a problem with the events file, and according to the Report.txt:

@THEN GIVETECHNOLOGY found
looking for whom=
found technology=91 (integer 91)
Illegal GIVETECHNOLOGY statement

What am I doing wrong?

[curtsibling]

Can you post up the event in question?

[GhostOfDisco]

Better yet, I'll post the events file (which needs work, even without the error )

[curtsibling]

I think it might be because of a typo!
The event should read 'receiver', but you have 'reciever'.

I suspect this might be one of the culprits, especially if a typo
ends up cut and pasted in the events...Happens to me all the time!
