Raise Dead AI #6

Closed im-mortal closed 3 years ago

im-mortal commented 3 years ago

AI Arkhan doesn't make use of Raise Dead campaign mechanic. Investigate if making this mechanic available for AI to utilize is feasible.

I've just had a thought as I've seen this in the Modding Den, but perhaps have a look at the script that the Dwarfs now get regarding recruiting Slayers from the regiment of renown pool? That might cut down on the amount of scripting needed, and make it easier to add the raise dead mechanic and make it multiplayer friendly. I can provide the script if necessary.

im-mortal commented 3 years ago

What about the UI? Would that still imply that the faction actually reanimates dead rather than "recruits" them somehow?

Zalbardeon commented 3 years ago

It could still imply that, yeah. You can still add a max number of units I believe, and considering the RoR for TK is all undead anyway, I think it fits.

im-mortal commented 3 years ago

Curious. What about province pools as an army raises dead from the local "dead" dead population? I doubt I can recreate such behaviour with less sophisticated RoR mechanics.

Zalbardeon commented 3 years ago

It was just a thought anyway. I'll have a look at the script in a bit.

Zalbardeon commented 3 years ago

Further to our short discussion earlier, Arkhan should hopefully make use of the campaign feature that enables the raise dead UI panel. I'll just keep an eye on this after the script has been deployed to the main mod. If he doesn't, then it's not a huge issue.

Thank you. I'll close the issue for now, then, until any sensible feedback is received.
