Is it possible to reduce the requirement for the Medals?

[Akimbo]

Some of them just take far too much to gain. I'm not looking to have them all on the first island, but I'm tired of farming the easy battles, just to spam spells/rage to build up my medals. (I know I don't have to, but I feel I need to.)

[Metathron]

I agree, at least the one that gives you % resistance should be decreased, probably the rage one, too.

[DGDobrev]

Maybe it is prudent to reduce the requirements based on difficulty (just like the army strength, per xp gain, gold income, etc.).

So, say, make it 50% of the current for easy and normal, 75% of the current for hard and 100% of it for impossible. That will not hurt the game.

You can't change the settings separately . They are the same for all difficulty levels. So here it is :
All requirements for medals reduced to half.

Nice job there! I'll have to learn how to do it sometime.

Going to backup my save and see how it works out :)



Edit: Just tried it out, works perfectly. All medals are given retroactively. So if you have passed the requirements for the medal after applying the mod, but didn't before, it will automatically award it to you.

All halved seems like exaggerating, to be honest, especially for medals easy to attain, such as grand strategy or treasure hunter. Your effort is appreciated, but the bottom line is, I don't want requirements to be unreasonably high or low.

Is for people who want them .


For those who wants to make their own settings i can show where to make the changes. Let's take the Grand Strategist medal as example.
The highlighted red lines are the ones who needs to be modified in order to change the requirements. In this case is :

5 for first medal
15 for second medal
25 for third medal

All you need to do is to change this numbers with the numbers of your choice.

Every medal is divided in 3 sections .One for every level of that medal.
You need to make the changes for all those sections. So if you change let's say

medal_strategist_1 section

with this numbers:
max1=8
max2=18
max3=20
you need to make the same changes to sections

medal_strategist_2
medal_strategist_3




medal_strategist_1 {
category=o
image=heroitem_medal_strategist.png
hint_config=object_item
label=itm_medal_strategist_1_name
hint=itm_medal_strategist_1_hint
information_label=
maphint=
mapinfo=
price=10
maxcount=0
level=1
race=human
medclass=-1
use {}
mods {
leadership=count,200
}
propbits=medal
params {
max1=5
max2=15
max3=25
order=1
param=0
var=clear_wins
}

Yeah, after I looked at it, it looks quite simple to change the values. There's a lot of them though, so I appreciate you going through and doing it for us. If I get the free time I'll see what else I can adjust :P Might make a grammar/spelling fix next lol.

And how can I give my Paladine the Iron Knight medal (slot) instead of Purifier?

I know it's an old post but someone might be still interested how to do it.

Those changes will give to paladin class , Iron Warrior medal and Holy Knight medal to warrior class.
You need to do this swap between medals so he can be properly displayed in the hero screen , medal section.

medclass line,determines what class will have that medal.

medclass=-1 all classes
medclass=0 warrior class only
medclass=1 paladin class only
medclass=2 mage class only
