[Main Thread] Chivalry II : SV 3.3 Release + Download

[SicilianVespers]

Downloading right now. Quick question: is the levy system still in place?

In a modified form. The AI will only get units when besieged now. The human player will have to rely on the Feudal AOR building line.

[Gwyn ap Nud]

This and Broken Crescent are my first two mods.

Totally downloading this.

[es_bih]

Thanks!!! Wow.

Downloading right now.

One question is the loader compatible with Steam out of the box, if not would you be able to load one please.

[Almogaver]

Downloading...

This deserves a Front Page announcement and a direct way to the TWC heavens! (and I still haven't played it...)

It'll be a long day 'till I get home...

[alien_t]

Big thanks to the team
This is one of my favorite mods
Downloading immediately.

Congrats! I have never played one of your mods before so please answer me a few questions.

QUESTIONS:
- How many provinces are in the map?
- Do you use Lusted's CAI or only the battle AI?
- Can I have a bit more info on what "Feudal AOR system" and the "new Crusades system" is?
- I'm mainly interested in the Dark ages campaign... but I see it's still on Beta. Any info if it's fully playable/implemented yet?
- Does the mod overwrites Kingdom files or goes to a seperate folder?

Thanks.

- Does the mod overwrites Kingdom files or goes to a seperate folder?

Thanks.

Separate folder... overwrites nothing. This is essential given that kingdoms which I am downloading is 1/3 of my computer

Ok have downloaded it and tried it out on Steam everything works fine. Great mod!

This is for any other Steam users:

In order to properly play SV 3.0 you must first load Steam;
1. Go into steam and right click on Kingdoms.
2. Select "Properties" from the right click menu.
3. Select "Set Launch options...".
4. Copy this link into the text box. @mods\SicilianVespers\SicilianVespers.cfg

Exit Steam.

Now go into Steam, Steam apps, Common Files, and finally the m2 directory.

Now:

1. Create a new folder, name it whatever you please, Backup ex.
2. Cut the Launcher.exe icon and paste it into the new folder you created for future use.
3. Rename the kingdoms.exe icon into Launcher.exe.

After exiting out to the desktop you can now go into the ChivII loader, double click select the age you wish to play and once the dos window loads files let it exit out and go into steam or click on the kingdoms link on your desktop.

Now when M2 loads it should load Sicilian Vespers and your correct age.

If it is darkage, etc... it is in Custom Campaigns, the Late era is the main campaign.

I have been waiting for this explanation a while! Thanks a lot!

No problem glad to help.

SV the custom loader is not necessary as far as I can see. I tried Dark Ages and I have also tested the Renaissance campaign. Both load the correct names, etc...

[SicilianVespers]

QUESTIONS:
- How many provinces are in the map?

The map has the maximum number of provinces.

- Do you use Lusted's CAI or only the battle AI?

Lusted's BAI and a customized version of Ultimate Campaign AI.

- Can I have a bit more info on what "Feudal AOR system" and the "new Crusades system" is?

It is the AOR system with a Feudal flavor.

For the W and S Europeans the tree looks like this:

Encastellation
Peasant Freeholds
Segneurial Estates
Baronial Estates
Comital Estates

They provide more AOR and regular units as you process up the scale, and each culture has its own building line.

The Crusades line is similar. You will have to declare a crusader state, and this allows you to progress up the tree.

- I'm mainly interested in the Dark ages campaign... but I see it's still on Beta. Any info if it's fully playable/implemented yet?

It is completely playable, I just have some loose ends to tie up before removing the name beta. This also applies the the Renaissance.

- Does the mod overwrites Kingdom files or goes to a seperate folder?

Seperate folder, and overwrites nothing.

The SV launcher is definitely needed. It not only changes the faction names, but also swaps out CoA's, Banners, ancillaries, region names, desc_sm_factions, EDU, EDB, etc...

This is how I exceed I can bypass the hardcoded faction and 500 unit limit.

It should definitely be used

[Giovi]

the patch 1.5 is needed?

[SicilianVespers]

the patch 1.5 is needed?

It will work without the latest patch.

[DaVinci]

And it works also with the latest M2/Kingdoms patch 1.5. I installed on patch 1.5.

I meant that the custom launcher is not necessary as the one that comes with this version works fine with the changes I outlined in my earlier post. In 2.5 I needed the customized for Steam launcher I believe you or DaVinci posted and plus all the changes.

I see, I took that into consideration when rewriting the script. There is now no need to modify it for steam or the various language versions of M2
