Is it possible to have two gold-crown leaders on one side?

Post by Dragonchampion »

Is it possible to have two gold-crown leaders on one side, or will this glitch out the game?

Can't you make it so both can recruit? That would make things pretty interesting, fighting on two fronts...

No. That's an engine limitation that won't be going away anytime soon. The game engine can accept only one recruiting unit per side at any given time. You can code some crude ways to walk around that block (like swaping cannrecruit values with [select] and [moveto] events, or coding a semicomplex [set_menu_item] consturction) but neither of these will be perfect and without downsides.

Maybe you could modify your recruiting unit to have teleportation. With villages on each side of the map that are already your's in by scenario file, you can start your 2 fronts easily, no?
