No more heroes

[Latro]

I'm not getting any heroes any more.
Are there any other files I need to look at, besides gamerules and heroes.pzdat?

I've changed gamerules to
Hero1KillsMin 20
Hero1KillsMax 50
Hero2KillsMin 51
Hero2KillsMax 200
Hero3KillsMin 201
Hero3KillsMax 500

but nothing happens. I've tested vanilla a number of times, with units going over 50 kills, still nothing.

Hi Latro, I've moved your post because you might get better response here I think. For the number of kills, you only need to adjust the gamerules file, but there are several of those files. The file for vanilla is used for when you play with the 1.20 rules, there is also a 'gamerules114.pzdat' for playing with 1.14 rules. The Grand Campaigns have their own file in the subfolders, but you mention vanilla so that shouldn't be an issue.

If you change the gamerules file, you will have to start a new campaign for it to take effect. If you change any setting and than load a savegame, the changes you made won't influence any existing games in progress. The other file, heroes.pzdat is only for the portraits, names and nationalities, so that shouldn't matter (unless it becomes corrupted or something).

So to test properly, change the gamerules file with your new settings, keep the original heroes.pzdat file and start a new campaign and see if any heroes will appear. Just let us know if you need further troubleshooting.

Hi,
I've tried it with the original (2013) heroes file.
I'm not doing a campaign but a big-map/99 turn scenario. But that should work too, shouldn't it?

Could a missing png cause it maybe?

You can only gain heroes in campaign scenarios if I remember correctly.

Yay!
That was it. I put the scenario in a campaign file and now it works!

Thanks a mil.
