The Darth Ages Feedback Thread

[gogis]

As i understood, it's mod based on kingdoms.exe?

Also how drastically changes would be, i mean, can you summarize what changed in battle experience over Darth (as i see, less Jedi cavalry?) and campaign AI (slower/faster or whatever)

And post it in first post? Seems like it's going into some nice addon over Darth one, that going to be 'alternate way', maybe sticky or whatnot =)

[Thorn]

The mod is fully playable on version 0.2

I'm working on unit cost and maintenance to allow the AI making bigger armies..

The Game is based on Kingdoms.

Campaign is good so far will be playin as far into it as i can tonight. Some of the faction shields still aren't sown when it is the ai's turn but that's not a big deal. I think the calvary is still to overpowered as well. I killed 750 men with my general's body guard and only lost 14 men. Keep up the good work.

I'll post if I find any other things that come to my attention. Thanks

[Thorn]

what kind of troops were you fighting? and what faction are you using?

i thought i fixed the shield issue.. i'll add the correct file tomorrow in my new release 0.28 or 0.3 if i get enough time to test the new changes i've been done today..

I was playing as the English and fighting against low quality spear men. This may have been what you intended to happen though. I look forward to your release. If you ever need help testing and I have time I'd be happy to help. Keep up the good work.

@xeryxs now i'm ready to try your files, be ready for my first report by tomorrow.

[xeryx]

We'll do man, look forward to it, I need very detailed reports, can you set a good example for others to follow? I am definitely getting good feed back, I need to know what happens when you are aggressive, so go and stomp some butt.

[Thorn]

@Xeryx.. do you remember what were the meaning of SOF SPF AND SIF entries on the settlemen mechanics??

SPF was about growth
SIF - Income
SOF - order?

Is there any way to increase tax income bonus when seting higher taxation levels?

[xeryx]

that is correct, on the vallues

Naimad, I see that you have been keeping busy!!
Do my eyes deceive...me is that my Campaign Ai in there?...COOL!!
I take it you like it then!! Now would you take some time to play!! If you need any customization tips, or any specials made for the AI let me know.

I need more Ideas on how the people want Vassalage..what are your thought on this?

[Thorn]

Yep.. i like it so much.. i should have lost my first campaign if i didn't played a siege.., is the first time i feel i could loose.., now i'm working on faction standings.. something is wrong there.. all factions have reasonable relations.. maybe that's the reason everybody allying everybody in my campaigns..

i will give you more reports when i find what is happening with relations


Uhm... it seems faction standings thresholds are wrong... how can i get reasonable relations if i have -0.6 and the maximum is -1.0???

i have this on strat file: faction_standings moors, -0.95 spain, portugal

and i still getting reasonable relationships??

CONFIRMED faction relationship is not working on my games.. anyone with the mod installed has noticed this issue??

i will need some help here to find what is the problem..

[xeryx]

See I am not crazy, you are experiencing the same problems I have with diplomacy. I suggest you clear out the caches, play a vanilla game the run the mod. I am completely guessing here!!! Because I have had many problems with files changes not taking. Is there any chance that we can put the mod in the mod folder and it work? What needs to be done for this!!

A -1.0 would be correct BTW

[Thorn]

yea.. i tried all i know..

i ran retrofit, darthmod, TLR, and all oth them are working good.. i copy their strat files to my mod and nothin happened.. i set values to -1.0 i deleted factions standings .. i don't know what is the problem.. i need to know if is a general error or is just in my PC...

[xeryx]

Then there is an error, check your log?

[Thorn]

No.. the log hasn't anything relevant..

i'm merging TLR with retrofit again.. and i'm about to isolate the file causing the problem..

At last.. something is worng with the diplomacy file.. i have to look closer to it as i can't use Darth's one.. i will need to mod it..

@Xeryx are you using Darth's diplomacy file? i think i found a major bug on it... are your relations working good on diplomacy screen?

do you have something like this?

diplomacy_text_fields>
<text_field name="relations">
<text_entry>
<upper_threshold value="-1.8"/>
<diplomacy_text name="DT_RELATIONS_0"/>

[xeryx]

Nope, I'm using mine now... How many times did I mention Diplomacy? I'll have to check..let you know tomorrow.
