How to change recrutiment by era
« on: May 07, 2013, 10:12:27 AM »
Hi!
I surrended to the fact that Shadow Hand campaign is unplayable because of the New Republic's AI bug.
So, I'm about to start a campaign with the Pentastar.
I noticed that some units (AT-AT and Venator) are available only from Era 2, but most of GCs involving the Pentastar are located in the first Era.

So, how can I make AT-ATs available for P.A. also in the first era? i love those machines. :D

Thank you, and still sorry for my english. :)

The PA has no era progression, they have access to all of their units right away. You should be able to build AT-ATs right from the start. You just need to build a light vehicle factory -> heavy vehicle factory -> advanced vehicle factory.

They would have spent billions of credits, employed thousands of contractors and subcontractors, and equipped it with the latest in death-dealing technology. And you know what would have happened? It wouldn't have worked. They'd forget to bolt down a metal plate over an access hatch leading to the main reactors, or some other mistake, and a hotshot enemy pilot would drop a bomb down there and blow the whole thing up. Now that's what the Empire would have done."

Do you have all the patches installed?  I seem to recall this WAS a bug on the release version of 2.0 that was fixed with a patch.

Ouh, I didn't know. I've not started the campaign yet :)  I only see in the manual that Venators and At-At are available for the Pentastar from era 2 to 5...

So, I want to play the Fractured Empire GC. The manual says that it's setted in Era 1, and that At-At and Venator can be recruited by the Pentastar from Era 2. Have I to ignore this thing?
Sorry for too many questions :D
Thanks to all!

I believe so. From what I remember it was a bug that existed when Slornie made the manual, and since he was basing his manual stuff off of what was ingame it wasput there, but the patches fixed it.

When I first started on the manual we were planning on having era differentiation for the Pentastar Alignment (which we later dropped); apparently I forgot about that design change or didn't have time to reflect it in the manual.  /adds to list of things to fix in the 2.1 manual.

Than you all, Masters :)
One last question.
Pentastar has no units to spy?
Is it possible to make buildable the Imperial probe droids for the P.A.?

Currently they have no spy/intelligence capability. I believe that in the upcoming 2.1 version, they will get access to probe droids.

Argh  ;D So difficult prepare an attack without that probes.
So there isn't a file that I can easely edit? (My modding skills are 0, but I'm able to use Ctrl+F  and copy/paste)  :)

Btw, I think that each faction should have access to some kind of spies. It's only a suggestion, I play from like 3 days and I'm not the kind of person who criticize huge and awesome works like this mod :)

Nobody? I tried to look for "probe" or "droid" into the XML files to add it to the Pentastar but I didn't understand a lot in that huge amount of scripts :D
