AOE3 Forums

Following AoE3 Heaven's Question Thread, I have decided to create one for the AgeCommunity. You may post any and all questions here that have to do with Scenario Designing, and only that since there is already a RMS Tutorial and Faq Thread created by M0nTy_PyTh0n. Please don't spam, and argue amongst yourselves. Try to answer questions to the best of your ability. This thread is intended to store all common (and uncommon) questions and answers, so the people no longer have to answer and reanswer the same questions due to people not reading the previously answered threads, and deciding to make their own. Help make this thread a success.

It would be greatly appreciated if my fellow forumers could help each other out.

Since no one is capable of helping you, I'll try my best. :)

As far as I know, you cannot customize your HomeCity in the editor.

You have to aquire a custom effect. Get it here. (This is a third-party effect and may not work.)

To make a cinematic, you must use a camera track and multiple conditions/effects using triggers. Learn about it here.

You must use the effect, "set tech status" multiple times, depending on the level of upgrade.

You can put units in ships, and you can use the IGC Galleon object, but that's about it.

Read the wiki and learn.


Hope I have helped. :)

thanks,

but I now know how to put units on a ship you click objects, move objects and move them in your ship,



thank you

Post your questions here, and by all my knowledge, I will do my best to answer them. [:)]

is it possible in custom scenarios to change the units that your barrack or stable train?

No, and I'm pretty sure never. That's some pretty advanced tech stuff. You could try however to create a trigger that spawns units of your choosing NEAR the barracks, to simulate them coming out from it. You can add conditions which require you to "pay" resources for the units to spawn, or whatever you want. [:)]

In a scenerio is it possible to advance a civilization in age to start, so for example a civ. could start in the fortress age instead of the discovery age? please answer me =) thanks

Posted by: gnomez In a scenerio is it possible to advance a civilization in age from the start, so for example a civ. could start in the fortress age instead of the discovery age?

All you have to do is:

1. Create a trigger (e.g. Trigger_0)
2. Set it to High Priority, and Run Immedietely.
3. Keep the default Condition: "Always."
4. Create the Effect: "Player Set Age."
5. Insert the appropriate number for age-startup (e.g. 0=age 1, 1=age 2, etc.)
6. Set player.

...and you're done!

How do i get the enemy to do anything!? When i create a custom scenario and play it, the enemy justs sits there and does nothing! What do i do to get them to move?
