hi,
i've just tried this mod.
of course it's very good, i'm no saying this because i believe some of the modders arre italians!

but let me tell the thimgs i don't understand:

i'm playing now HRE and what i shoud do with all those small rebel cieties scattered all over the map?
some gimme 25 or maybe 50 £ in taxation but i got to buy a merchant actin as exator (£1000)(!) and mantain a garrison, £100 x turn, you see tha'ts a financial drawback!

and,
i trow 3000 (!) arrows with my pavise balesters vs 41 mounted knights and no one succeed in a single penetration!!!!!!!

is this intentional or a bug?
and in theyr explanation it was written," efficaci contro le armature"
(useful vs armoured targets)!!

[stainer]

ah, and how can i involve my allied states (i.e. duchy of austia)in a war against a common enemy?

[Nico]

hi housekeeper,
just wanted to say i tested the game with the 5.01 patch and the timurid problem still occurs...

cheers

[The Housekeeper]

@stainer
at the first turn forts give 30-100 florins, but after many turns the merchants could improve their finance, so that you can gain 200-300 florins (300-500 in America).
If you conquer a fort, you gain instantly 2000 florins.
yes, I think it's a bug for the arrow, can you tell me the exact name of the unit you used in that battle?
If you want to be helped from other faction, then use constantly diplomacy, if you are a protestant faction you can ask a Crusade to the Emperor, but if he refuses you'll lose 1000 florins!

@Nico
In our testing no more timurids-crash, the problem was that the game crashed if Timurids recruited Trebizond Archers or Turkish Archers.
Did you start a new campaign? The previous saves are not compatible with the bugfixer

bye

[palestina]

i've no more problem whit the timurids in 1426. Still, i've CTD when i play a battle in the campaign. I'm the only one?

[Nico]

yes a started a new campaing with naples after installing the patch. but i may have installed it wrong... the .rar file when un compresed had the machiavelo files and another .rar file inside which i didnt bother about because it seemed to contain the same files as the previous one.

should i have just that one hade an english readme an the other and italian, should i have used this on too?

cheers

" Bugfixer 5.01 "
how did u get to open this file once downloaded?

[stainer]

thanks,
can u explain bettere what do u mean with "constantly diplomacy"?

battle with no penetration quarrel was with 240 imperial (hre) pavise balesters, vs rebellious general bodyguard (41) inside a small sity near the capital. - no knights were hurted - most of my men fired directly.

i've already won the hussites with only around 100 losses out of an army of more than 1000.
the rebels were totally destroyed.

HI, lol just wanted to let you know housekeeper that the bug during the timurids turn still persists after installing the 5.01 patch which is very anoying lol. luckily removing the timurids seems to solve this.
cheers

i'm writing this only to let you know that IMO that battle was badhandled.

i've come to attack frontally with two differents waves of knights and they again showed no penetrations, they (the hussites) don't haved no wagon forts, pole heartworks - no defences.

somebody's experiences the same with macchiavello?

[Banzai!]

Common problem guys. Change radius of crossbow bolts in descr_projectiles from 0 to some non-zero number (say 0.1).

[Nico]

hi guys i'm now experiencing a very odd bug that appears to happen randomly (not on a fixed date o faction). it happens when my turn begins and all the anouncements appear on the left side of the screen (i think it might have something to do with the one when they oofer a bride to one of my family members) well the bug doesnt ctd the game but hangs it.... the arrow cursor turns in to the rotating sand clock you get while you wait during tha ai turn and it stays that way you cant perform almost any action.

lol how frustatring its the best mod around and i cant play more than 30 turns without having to restart.

[The Housekeeper]

hi nico,
your "feedbacks" are very usefull in order to have a 5.1 version completely bugs-free, we ask for your patience and understanding, we are very few people working on this mod, and we are also working on other important italian mod...
With the first bugfixer we solved the first bugs, now we are trying to fix the strange "rolling sandclock".
cheers

[Nico]

sure no problem, may i ask which is this other important italian mod? id love to try it.

cheers

[stainer]

thanks, this actually helped a lot, i corrected all those weapons with 0 radius and it worked.

now i'm runnin' in to the "timurids bug" (but i have it in the mameluks!)

too bad that this is the best mod i've tried but it didnt work!

Casus Belli (RTW), Machiavello : two really big italians mods !
