Hey guys, I have some questions before i DL this mod.

1. The byzantines: are their faction shield the vanilla one or is it the roman eagle?

2. How is the end turn times?

3. The mongols, timurids and aztecs are still in the game?

Their faction symbol is still vanilla for now. But the Romans are getting a makeover for PDER 2.0. Check out the Byzantine thread for some looks at some of their new units.

2. How is the end turn times?

Not long at all.

3. The mongols, timurids and aztecs are still in the game?

Yes. yes. no.

For PDER 2.0 it will be yes. no. no.

cheers!

Timurids are the best challenging faction! Cannon Elephants are my favoruite. Please leave Timurids in 2.0 version. Otherwise I won't be able to play new version..

Thank you.

I am pretty sure that the Seljuqs will be quite the challenge as well

[Gigantus]

Guess the canon elephant has to go - that's the one that causes battle crashes. The other elephant units have no problems.

Thank you.

The Timurids are a non-playable emergent faction AFAIK...

Haven't they been removed?

[Gigantus]

Not sure, haven't re-installed after my last rebuild.
Simply look for 'artillery' in the script and put a semi-colon in front of the line. Or delete the artillery to make the unit into normal elephants (don't forget the s at the end = elephants).

@ Gigantus

I've been trying out your take on 1a, and I must say that there are some really nice touches there. However, the massive increase in negative traits is driving me to distraction and spoiling the game for me. I know what the objective is but I think that the effect has been over-done. Is there any quick and easy way of negating them? If not, no worries, I'll simply go back to the original 1a.

That would be part of BBB (blood, broads and bastards) I think you have to blame billydilly for that . Not sure if those traits are in the original version as well.

You could remove triggers for those traits you deem to extreme.

Love the map new up coming map. Is there a ETA for 2.0?

Cheers mate. Yes, I've been looking into it and it is BBB that is responsible and, no, they are not in the original 1a but, I think were introduced via Xeryx' CAI mod. I've not worked with traits on Med II, so I'm, not going to jump in and start wielding the axe until I know what I am doing. I'm sure that there is a lot of good stuff in BBB but, for me, it means having to spend far more time than I want to micro-managing traits which, in my opinion shouldn't sway the tenure of the game to such an extent. I'm wondering if I can just drop the relevant files from the original 1a into your edition to circumvent BBB!

[Gigantus]

As long as they haven't been used in the descr_strat you shouldn't have a problem doing that. Don't forget to replace the text\vnvs file too!
Back ups are a good idea.
