Is it possible to create a random masterfile where different sides can build different subformation types (like Tolkienesque)? If so, what is the event code to get this done?

I do not believe that is possible. Usually, different sides having different SFTypes is done by making each regime of a different PeopleGroup and making the Research types and ItemTypes also linked to certain PeopleGroups.

Actually it should be possible.

Easiest way would probably be to add an event to the masterfile that gives each regime a different special researchfield. A researchfield that cannot be researched by spending pp that is. And then making sftypes + corresponding itemtypes that can only be build if you have one of those special researchfields.

something like this:

check round=1
LOOP 0 to CHECKREGIMECOUNT
execaddresearch(regime#, researchfield#)
END LOOP
end check

but there are other ways to do it too. in all cases however you'll need to add some events to the masterfile that make some changes to the randomly created scenario. like above.

kind regards,

Goodaye,

Is it also possible to make a random masterfile with different peoples (not regimes) so that the human player is one people (with appropriate modifications) and everybody else is another?

lance,

nope. you have to use regimevars or researchfields to distinguish the one human player from the others.

Vic,

Thanks for the tip. For reference, the code is actually:

0)    CHECK: CheckRound == 1
1)      LOOPER: TempVar1 FROM 1 TO CheckRegimeCount
2)        EXECUTE: ExecSetResearch(TempVar1, 91, 1)
3)        EXECUTE: Empty
4)      END LOOPER
5)    END CHECK

Note that this will give research number 91 to all regimes except the first.

Regards,

Niccy
