Das Heilige Römische Reich - FAQ & Questions thread

[Jaketh]

Im playing as Sweden on 0.6 and i can only recruit the same units that i had with a castle even though i upgraded to a fortress, how do i unlock more units for Sweden?:hmmm:

[HannibalExMachina]

have a look at the FAQ: units are tied to the era system.

[pchalk]

I dont know if this has been asked but i read the faq and it probably ties with question 6. I was wondering around the high middles ages I cant build german knights anymore. It probably wouldnt really piss me off but in my campaign it happened at a really incovienient moment when my force, made mostly up of german knights, was no where near home and needed to be retrained. The main problem i had with this is that only one of my cities way back in Germany where my focus has long ended can even build heavy cavalry and those r teutonic knights. Anyway I was wondering what replaces those German knights cuz I really liked them.

[HannibalExMachina]

atm, german knights are buildable until 1200, then to be replaced by feudal knights. we are currently working on new knight units to replace the vanilla ones. stay tuned.

Hello, mod looks great and just started a game to checkout the features...the only question I have is..whats up with the small uit sizes? Is this intended and if so how do I bump the numbers up? It seems weaird that the generals bodyguard only consists of 6 members...

[Dimitri_Harkov]

All unit sizes are default, only the bodyguard units have been cut to the minimum because they were just too overpowering.

This may be changed in the 'soldier' lines in the 'export_descr_unit.txt' file.

Cheers,
D.

For some background: I started a new campaign with the English and did the following.

1. Married my faction hier to a french princess
2. Married my princess to the Scottish heir
3. Killed all scottish family members via assassination

My question is since the Scottish faction hier shows up on my family tree what exactly does that mean? He has no child as of yet which is confusing since the parents are both young or is it just that those children are not displayed on my tree. Also will I inherit Scotland if I kill him or can I suicide my faction heir to make him next in line and jion the kingdoms?

As you can see I'm trying to find an economical way to "conquer" Scotland

On a side note can my marriage into French royalty bear any fruit in the future?

Thank you for any assistance

So then moding unit strength for each entry is the only way to do it? I'm no moder so I guess I'll live...I'm just use to huge unit sizes for all the other mods I play as it feels more emersive and my comp can handle anything thrown at it on high res.

[Dimitri_Harkov]

Yes, that's the only way.

Cheers!

I'm not bothered, tbh. Have you seen the way those bodyguards plough through enemies? Even if they have only 6 members, they're a valuable asset. Well at least if you're playing on normal unit sizes they are .

[HannibalExMachina]

well, there was such an "inherit" feature in mtw1, but i dont think mtw2 has it:hmmm:.

btw, if you killed all familiy members, isnt scotland already all rebel?

[Dimitri_Harkov]

Indeed!
I also always play on normal size btw.

Cheers!

[HannibalExMachina]

just a question dimitri, did you test KNR on normal sizes, too? i only used large, so if it works on both, that would be cool.

[Dimitri_Harkov]

On normal ONLY. Good to hear it works on other sizes too!

[Kamikaze]

Sorry, I meant to say that I killed all the family members except the faction leader who is my son-in-law. If there is no inherit feature in MTWII that would basically mean princesses are diplomats with dresses...... what a shame

[Dimitri_Harkov]

Yeah, that's it. MTW2's original campaign features are a laugh compared to MTW1.

Cheers!

P.S.: Oh, and welcome to TWC!

I prefer normal because it's kinder to my performance, and actually, I think the pathfinding isn't as hindered on normal.

[Zymran]

I think the pathfinding isn't as hindered on normal.

Yeah I've noticed that large+ unit sizes tend to muck up pathfinding in cities especially. Better to stick smaller if you don't want your knights running down alleyways RTW-style

[CK23]

I just had a question. I'm sure it's been asked. What happens if lets say I was playing my Austria Campaign and I went and took over all the rest of the Duchy's and Counts of the HRE?

I'm just wondering, would my Faction Leader always be elected Emperor? What would happen?
