heroes not showing up
 

Ok, I've finally got things...eh, more or less to where I'm satisfied with them, except that I cannot get my heroes to show up.

Can anyone help with some suggestions for what the problem might be? I've got 4 unique heroes, and 1 multi-hero.

Thanks for quick responses, as if I can get this solved today, I'll post the mod today, I promise!

Also, how would one go about reducing the availability of Pretenders for a nation? I only want this F'thaqqua to have 1 Pretender, ideally, but I can't figure out how to make that happen.

How about making this one pretender so completely awesome that the others are worthless?
Just a suggestion http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

You cant.

Well you could technically make all the other default pretenders so expensive that no-one could ever use them. That would work.

As for heroes, the code is very simple and is clear enough in the mod manual. In the nation section you put

#multihero1 (unit #)
#hero1 (unit #)
#hero2 ... etc

If you've done that and you can't getting any with turmoil 3 luck 3 then I don't know what's wrong. Even with incorrect numbers you should still get something.

and if you have no numbers you either get a serpent or funny looking gladiator.

If it isn't working after what sombre said, perhaps! you have them in the wrong spot in list, some things need to be in certain order for them to work properly, I had that happen with the nations description once.

If you want to test your heroes in game set your #luckevents 75 .

Ok, I got heroes working-I don't know if it mattered or not, but I rearranged where the heroes were in the document, and that seemed to help a lot.

I'd already played 2 games to over 100 rounds without any heroes showing up-with max luck/turmoil.

I think I will raise the cost for the other Pretenders. That's a good idea, if it can be done in such a way that it only affects those Pretenders for those nations?

Re: heroes not showing up
 

You can't do it so it only effects the pretenders for just your nation, no.

The default pretender selection is hardcoded, so the best you can do is change those units which are in the default selection. This will obviously impact all other nations.
