Making elves send liaisons
« on: February 25, 2010, 09:54:45 pm »

What tag is it that makes humans send liaisons, and dwarves send liaisons? How would I go about making the elves do similar stuff so I can request some giant eagles? (For example)

Add [MERCHANT_NOBILITY] to their entity file

I'm not sure that [MERCHANT_NOBILITY] will do anything without the [DIPLOMAT] tag...
It may be a good idea to add [DIPLOMAT_BODYGUARDS] too or [MERCHANT_BODYGUARDS] just in case, since not many people like Elves... ;)

Elves already have the diplomat token.

Must have missed that...Then I don't know since I haven't touched Dwarf Fortress in a few months, waiting for new release.

Give them [MAYOR] and [MERCHANT_NOBILITY] (however you spell the end part) this will let elves send liaisons.

but giving Dwarves [MERCHANT_NOBILITY] will cuz two liaisons (pretty much) one will be a guild rep. the other will be the village liaison.

Humans have the [MAYOR] and [MERCHANT_NOBILITY] but since they are not your parent civ they just send thier Guild Rep.

Thus allowing elves to send a liaison/guild rep

Did a quick check and Humans don't have [MAYOR] but I gave this tag to my elves for my modded version I play and they only send a guild rep. So the {mayor} part is a "my bad"

current modded elves merchant part
Code: [Select]
[MAYOR]
[MERCHANT_NOBILITY]
[DIPLOMAT_BODYGUARDS]
[MERCHANT_BODYGUARDS]
[SIEGER]
[DIPLOMAT]

I think it's MERCHANTS_NOBILITY.

I wouldn't be surprised if "tree quota" token replaced liaison with a tree quoting diplomat.

Maybe removing treequoting AND adding MERCHANT_NOBILITY gave them a liaison? Maybe not :P.

I've got an Elf Guild Representative on my map right now, and all I added was  [MERCHANT_NOBILITY]. I can't confirm that they still send Diplomats to greet/tree quota you, but given that diplomats and guild reps are different entity positions, I don't think it would affect it at all. Humans, for instance, send both diplomats and merchant princes.

I added [merchant_nobility] to my game when I wanted to try to see if I could force priorities on animals, and less priorities on cloth... and nobody showed up as a liason.

Until, that is, my next game, since I left those lines in the raws.  I think that maybe the guild representative won't spawn unless you worldgen?

Changes to the Entity File always require a world regen.
