R P G u
Alpha_02
Notes: post #60
! RPGu is for TESTUDO only !
! RPGu is already included into TESTUDO !
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:RPGu_Alpha_01 will give you the possibility to choose different and specific General Bodyguards.
Each type of Bodyguard will give you different army effects.
10 Factions available for now
WHAT IS INSIDE "RPGu"?
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:For now there are 12 different types of Bodyguards.
WHY "RPGu"?
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Actually, I did this mod mostly for TESTUDO, which has a slower pace.
Besides effects and BG differences, it's mostly a "flavour submod".
You can have a lot of fun by choosing the needed BG and your choices will interfere with the game itself (since there are a lot of various effects taking place depending on a lot of variables).
"RPGu" TO DO IDEAS
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:I'm planning to do other rpg units.
They won't be Bodyguard units, but normal and recruitable ones.
Different BG units will be the prerequsite (for others and related specific units) to trigger different effects.
Some examples:
- captain units for infantry, archers, cavalry. They'll cost more but give you some specific effect to the whole army
- custom units for administration (something like "priest" for culture, "messanger" for strat movement, "trainer" for general's experience and so on...)
I have still to think about their features, names, numbers
> "RPGu" BODYGUARD LISTSpoiler Alert, click show to read:
form left to right (the UI are basic romans but every faction has its own while in-game):
fighting armies:
-- LEVY ARMY
-- REGULAR ARMY
-- PROFESSIONAL ARMY
-- MERCENARY ARMY
-- GARRISON ARMY
-- MOUNTED ARMY
drilling armies:
-- DRILLING TROOP
administrators:
-- LAND ADMINISTRATOR
-- URBAN ADMINISTRATOR
-- PROVINCIAL GOVERNOR
diplomats:
-- DIPLOMAT
naval:
-- HARBOR ADMINISTRATOR
---------------
Besides the different types there are also new and different features:
CAMPAIGN STANCES: can be OWNED REGION, FOREIGN REGION OR GARRISONED
ARMY STANCES: REPLENISH, RAIDING, AMBUSH and FORTIFY now depend on: BG TYPE, CAMPAIGN STANCE and ARMY SIZE (keep in mind the UI might get buggy sometimes, click around, open new tabs and should return fine).
Keep in mind that having a fighting army deployed (not garrisoned) in an owned region will generate a patrol effect (PO and other things)Keep in mind that I lowered the deployables (player only) so to have less bonuses while fighting
ARMY SIZE: depends on how many units you have inside the army (usually: 1-2 / 3-4 / 5-6 / 7-9 / 10-13 / 14 -17 / 18-19 / 20+)
GENERAL EXP: when the general is gaining 1 exp per turn
So, the army effects will be an interpolation depending on BG TYPE, CAMPAIGN STANCE and ARMY SIZE (STANCES keep their separated effects).
There are a lot of different possibilities.
And... yeah, the effects are a lot, TESTUDO style, nothing I can do about that. This method is 100% needed for a TESTUDO style.
And... yeah, units stats effects tend to be slight penalties. This is for having slightly harder battles.
You'll see there are, basically, 3 main types of effects:
SAME COLOUR OF THE BG TYPE: it could be white, orange, purple, it depends on the BG type. It means everything is fine and the army is respecting the various conditions
GREY: you'll have some penalties
RED: you'll have heavy penalties, better not to meet these conditions
Here are some examples so you can get the idea

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:SETTLERS
Basing on Dresden's Settlers submod I've done my own version for RPGu.
Choose your class and disband it/them wherever you want. Meant for playing a little with the pop system.
UI card is temporary, I'll have to understand which style to adopt as I go on working on RPGu units
SETTLERS will be availabe in regions which have at least the second tier building for the main chain. Also, the building must be of the same culture of player's (or be a custom capital)
PLAYABLE FACTIONS (15 for now)
