Would it be possible to program a mod that allows for players to set cities in scenarios? like the cities in commerce games.

Yes, that is possible.

https://www.warzone.com/wiki/Mod_API_Reference:TerritoryModification
SetStructuresOpt Table<StructureType (enum),integer>: Sets the number of structures, such as cities, on this territory. Nil to simply make no changes.


This sounds like a good mod. What kind of exact behavior did you have in mind?
(Host sets some territories to start with cities? Different ways to get a city during a game? Cities can be removed by bomb card? Cities can grow?)

I think there is a lot of potential here, but let me know what you think would be cool and I might make such a mod.

This sounds like a very interesting concept :)

All of those are great ideas. Especially a mod in which bomb cards destroy one city on the territory as opposed to any armies. it would also be interesting if cities that reach a certain size grant a bonus card of some sort. This way, there's more incentive to grow ''tall'' rather than ''wide'', as most players do.

Here is a template link to SP with the mod: https://www.warzone.com/SinglePlayer?TemplateID=1284005

It's not completed yet (and as such not set to public), as I want to add more things. However, feel free to play in SP (I don't recommend MP before I have had time to test it)

Currently cities grow. And they can be bombed. I plan on adding a def% bonus to cities based on their size. If there are other suggestions feel free to say them here!

Yo, that's awesome! Love the idea of cities granting an increasingly larger defence bonus, while bomb cards can be used to counter-act this. This would sort of simulate city sieges. Very cool.

I tested the mod and it gave an error message when I used a bomb card.

Also, this would be an unrelated mod, but it would be cool if different slots in a scenario could be given different starting cards. This would probably be pretty complicated to make though.

You would need to be able to tell the slots apart*. But yeah that is not to hard. The UI would be the most annoying thing, at least if you end up with 40 * each settings.

A practical implementation would just be : if Player owned territory and armies = 1, give 1 reinforcement card. etc.)
*One easy way, is by the number of armies on a territory. Which is what I do now for capitals now.

I tested the mod and it gave an error message when I used a bomb card.

Let me know if that still happens. I tweaked how the bomb card worked around the time you might have tested it, so you might have gotten unlucky on the timings. (There was a bug where destroying a city didn't work : aka bombing to less then 1 city. That bug has been fixed)

Still got an error message after using the bomb card on an enemy territory.

Hm, I am not able to produce any errors and have not had any in games with other players either. Can you tell me what the error says and what you are doing?

(If it gives a mod error, it should give a line of code and some more stuff. Example : If it's a WZ error, try to just sceenshot the top of it or something)

[string "Server_AdvanceTurn.lua"]:69: MoonSharp.Interpreter.ScriptRuntimeException: Found Dictionary, expected integer
Create (External Function)
(Unknown Function) (Server_AdvanceTurn.lua:69)

GameID=20875338
Hook=Server_AdvanceTurn_Order

If it is that ^ error then it's fixed and you are somehow using an old version. Not sure how caching works for mods in SP, but that could be what is happening. I think you can refresh it, by deselecting the mod from settings. leaving the mod settings, then go back and re-select it. (You want to be able to see a 'Downloading Mods' circle. It's a fast loading thing)

PS. Feel free to invite me to a game

^That's not an image

All I do is load up a game and play a bomb card on an enemy territory turn one. It gives me a generic warzone error and doesn't mention the mod at all.
