Submod "Caster of Magic for Windows: Warlord"

[JustOneMoreTurn]

I've modded AIprod to produce more garrison units earlier.  I'm only a couple of years into a game, but there's a definite improvement in the AI towns developing several swordsmen, bowmen or cavalry before developing higher level buildings.  No more pop 10+ cities with cathedrals and war colleges ... guarded by one spearman.

This is just a first try, with garrison values as wild guesses, so it needs tweaking.  I might add some decisions based on city size, turn, war status (You're at war, so build a defender rather than a cathedral.) or some other variables that are accessible.  If you want to see stronger AI garrisons, give it a try.

Hmmm, I can't figure out how to attach the file.  I add attachment, but it doesn't show up.

Great. I would like to look into code too.

In attached file only support some file's extension. If you have problem, try zip them.

Yah, the extension issue occurred to me as I was falling asleep.  I switched the .cas to .txt .  Just switch it back to use, or copy and paste the text into your AIprod.cas (after backup of course).

[JustOneMoreTurn]

I checked over the file and found a few bits to chop out (from that failed %AND GARR>x attempt) and I hadn't modded the sections for barbarians and klackons/beastmen.  I'm sure I'll mod it more, but at least this version is a bit cleaner.  Again, it's .txt rather than .cas to get it past the attachment filter.

The instructions on ModDB are missing the word Caster in step 1: "Master of Magic Windows Warlord" > "Master of Magic Caster Windows Warlord"

EDIT: also in the documentation Warlord_Manual

EDIT AGAIN: also in the first post of this thread, haha

[Suppanut]

Thank you for pointing out. I will correct it immediately.

[JustOneMoreTurn]

I tried another game with the fixed AIprod.cas. It's definitely better for the mandatory buildings for small towns, but the values for garrison need to be increased a lot more for the more advanced buildings. Before a city builds a Cathedral or Sage's Guild, they should have more than just a bunch of spearmen and swordsmen, which is what I see. It's too bad that COM doesn't allow upgrading units.

Another thing I've noticed: I'm not seeing any roaming monsters in AI territories. I'm getting them in mine, but haven't seen any elsewhere. Is this something I've done unintentionally while modding, or do these monsters not appear in Warlords? I'm aware of the settings in Modding.xxx, but don't see how that would have turned them off.

Are rampaging monsters showing up normally--attacking AI cities too--for other people? I'd rather not create another 'clean' version just to check, when I can ask instead. It's annoying being the only one attacked.

Chance for rampage monster to spawn to attack human player is double of what ai players have. They attack ai cities too but at less frequency unless Call the Wild/Nature Embrace in effect.
