Modding LA Freespawners so that they spawn just at forts?
 

can it be done?

You cannot mod forts.

There's no way to do this. Well, there /is/ theoretically, but it's so much of a workaround that it isn't worth it.

This is true of 90% of things you might want to mod. It can be done but only with a lot of effort and the result won't be quite what you intended, nor will it be clean or elegant.

hehe replacing all spawns you don't want with 1 hp immobile troops with modded affliction disease is the only way I can think of (if we can mod disease in already) or maybe replace them with troops that have just 0 HP if that can be done

and then give those troops an empty sprite

Or making the land-freespawn Aquatic and water-freespawn non-amphibian.

There are ways to kill the freespawn, but both types of freespawn are used by other mechanics (undead by reanimation spells and strategic command, mad people by Imprint Souls) that can't be duplicated with the existing modding commands. So if you remove the freespawn, you also remove other features. Imprint Minds isn't that important, so it might be doable for LA R'lyeh.

Or you could just make a clone of Rlyeh in another nation slot. Of course you'd lose the insanity effect then.

Like I said, this can all be done, but the ratio of effort to success is completely off.

A pity. I was hoping for a freespawning simmilar to that of that MA Ryleh but with more monsters. As it is now getting random provinces in backwaters full of chaff is annoying :(

Re: Modding LA Freespawners so that they spawn just at forts?
 

More monsters is definately not possible.. but if you read the one of the last post in the dominions 3000 thread you'll see the list of troops that LA ermor gets as freespawn (Nikelaos wants to replace them all for a nation for my dominions 3000 sci-fi mod).. it seems to be about 20-25 units large so I CAN'T imagine that isn't enough for you.

Re: Modding LA Freespawners so that they spawn just at forts?
 

Of course if you want some units appear spontanous you could also use the domsummon, make monster and summon commands to let them appear with certain units.

Re: Modding LA Freespawners so that they spawn just at forts?
 

Nah. I wanted LA ryleh with the insanity but with a lessened freespawn capability. I find the micromanagement annoying. Particularily since it seems that I´m supposed to use the freespawn priests to bring people to the front lines. And freespawn priests tend to go crazy very often.
