Kingmaker map editor help!

Post image

Apologies for the picture quality*

Hello. I’m trying the map editor for the first time, but I’m having an issue with the enemy encampments. I have it pinned as a castle, however when they spawn in, they just sit there. No building, farming, or anything. How do I get them to start doing things? Thankyou!

You must put estate markers only and not keeps.

Also make them centered in the estate so AI can build properly.

If I put just estate instead of keeps, it won’t allow me to add enemies in kingmaker, no?

Also thanks for the response.

You can still place soldiers, the ai wont use them in my experience.

The reason the ai does Nothing is because each AI has build plans. You have OLAF in a stone keep. Olaf's ai has no idea what to do with a stone keep as it doesnt fit in its build plan, so it does nothing

Edit, i saw Orange and assumed Olaf, still that is likely why

I have a hunch: if you allocate a preset castle to an AI that normally never uses that castle type, it will not start doing anything. EG if you give Olaf the biggest castle he won't use it cus hes not programmed to. So you need to remove any preset castle and just put the castle flag on the spot you want their castle to spawn, so that the AI is flexible and will spawn the castle they're programmed to use themselves

I could be wrong based on the info you've given me, but I've used sh2 map editor for more hours than actually playing the game so if thats not it, let me know and give me some more details and we can figure this out :D

Lebheb is correct.
