how to stop scrolling to the leader

[Mathijs]

If wondered if there's a way to stop the game from scrolling every turn to the leader. I want to do this because in the first few turns the ai isn't doing anything but sitting there. (They are city guards, they shouldn't attack my units as they are friendly units and there's no enemy in that scenario (that's why the guards are another 'hostile' side)
It's a bit weird seeing the game scroll to the leader who then does nothing

I can achieve this by putting controller=null but then you win the scenario after one turn, because there is no enemy.

I am not sure. If the problem is losing because there is no enemy, maybe try this:

Code: Select all

[scenario]
  ...
  victory_when_enemies_defeated=no
  ...
[/scenario]

I'm not completely sure if this works, but based on a very crude test (which wasn't done completely right) it looks like you can: just set the canrecruit= of the AI leader to 0 in a side turn event and restore it in an ai turn event. Worth a try anyway.

If this works, it'll be another gem for my WML treasure trove (even if it's another one of those rough-cut ones).

I know how you feel, one of my campaign map is huge and sice the AI do nothing for 5 turns it is a pain.

well I solved the fact that my AI is doing nothing by setting:

Code: Select all

  [scenario]
   ...
   victory_when_enemies_defeated=no
   ...
  [/secenario]

Because this allows me to set both teams to the same team. (as Viliam pointed out nicely, thank you!)

So the scrolling thing isn't such a pain in the ass anymore. I've tried what zookeeper proposed but it didn't work!
