How to mod goblins to be fully armor-clad on invasions?
« on: June 02, 2013, 02:20:10 pm »

Like in subject, I'm tired of terminator axedwarfs and don't want to mod goblins to be made from steel or something.

For each of the armor items in the Goblins civ definition replaced RARE or COMMON with FORCED. This will always make them equip that piece of equipment.

Isn't FORCED bugged?

Not that I've noticed so far. What was the issue with FORCED?

Ah, I thought FORCED was currently bugged in that it doesn't always force items. I might be wrong though

FORCED more or less makes it so the race will always have "access" to that item, if you wish them to wear full armor I believe you have to make armor their basic clothing (so wearing a beastplate is the new fasion in their culture)

I think long ago FORCED made them wear it (Putnam or Quietust will probably correct this is i'm wrong) but I know if armor is clothing to them, they will wear it in full

Keep in mind that 'clothes' armors seem to get made of non-armor metals. Dont think tin armor goblins will prove much of a match.

Think it should suffice to remove all their armor choices, and give them just a set of plate armor. Possibly you may have to add a set with lower armor level.

Im also pretty sure FORCED wont do anything that COMMON doesnt do unless there is more than one item of a particular type (like ARMORLEVEL:3 chest armor, or UNDER layer shoe item). Might be wrong though.

Isn't this basically currently impossible outside of the clothing hack? I remember it was impossible to get fully armored war elephants for the fortress defense mod.

This thing is either bugged or turned off, since ambushers were wearing the same thing as normal.

like as getting them to come with full armor? I know this works:

Code: [Select]
[ITEM_HELM:ITEM_ELVEN_MASK_1]
[NAME:raven mask:raven masks]
[LAYER:UNDER]
[COVERAGE:50]
[LAYER_SIZE:20]
[LAYER_PERMIT:50]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:2]
[HARD]
[METAL]
[BARRED]
[SCALED]

now problem is they will make this out of any metal (at least I'm expecting it to) so what I do (for hostile races) is I remove the FURNACE_OPERATOR profession from their permitted_professions, and give them ractions that produce a bar of the metal I want them to use (bronze, iron, steel) and even if they can't smelt, these reactions "magically" give them access to all the (iron, bronze, steel) metal they need. Thus clothing (such as above mask) is constructed from and worn.

I have High Elves that come with rope reed pants, and mitril raven/wolf masks and the soldiers (since they are armor) wear a full suit called (elven battle mail) and a helmet.

So civvies wear a metal mask and cloth pants, and soldiers wear a suit (up and low step max) plus pants, mask, and a helmet (plus weapons and shield)

It may require a Regen

mm, never heard that before. Just that it forced access, nothing more.
