Yup, PI replaces BI's intro video (bi\data\fmv\BI_Intro_640x480.wmv) with a new one, but it's in some strange format that doesn't work for most people (or maybe the file is corrupt?).

If you don't want to have to spend time looking for and installing the right codec, you can either add the -nm parameter to the command line, or overwrite that file with another wmv video that does work.

The patch was supposed to fix that(presuming you follow the instructions) afaik.

Hey all,

I just found out that the Pedites Henirici don't have any skins!

They just look like Casper the Friendly Ghosts running around the field of battle.

Please check and fix.

1. The faction menu doesn't list any victory conditions.

2. BI's "dominant religion paganism" and "new testament formulated" messages are popping up at the beginning of campaign.

3. Roman hastati, principes, & triarii aren't selectable in custom battles.

Here I'm...
...sorry for the delay ...I have been in serious troubles for some real life problems;

[remus lassinus]

It's not a problem , real life is more important good luck luciano !!!

[florin80]

I know the animation makes the arm look weird when throwing the javelin, but in this case it seems a bit more severe to me:

Maybe there`s also something happening there with the model?

Hi all,

Two things from BI occur when playing P.I. :

I. Some Gallic factions have Christianity as a Religion!
I don't remember which ones. Sorry. Please check.

II. I keep on getting "In this year" boxes that deal with Christianity and Christian themes NOT Pagan events that happened in Pre SPQR Italy! Please remove them and add the real stuff.

Thanks again,
hellas1

You can remove them in PI\data\world\campaign\descr_events.txt

The corresponding messages are in PI\data\text\historic_events.txt

The changes will only be visible in a new campaign.

Hi HouseofHam,

I'll just wait until the next build.

How would I know what happened on the Italian Peninsula during this time period anyway, as I've never researched its' history?

Thanks though!

I don´t see any video at all -> PI Screen -> Menu -> and that´s it... what´s wrong?

Nothing since you are not supposed to see any video . that file repleces the vanilla menu with current mod's one

Edited (added some other bugs)

i dont know if this has been posted, but in me Syracusan Campaign the Hoplitai Hellenikoi dont have sprites(spelling?), also the ferentarii penti, ferentarii umbi and the hoplites falsci...i have seen that some times the sprites can be seen and nometimes they can't(weird).
Edit found 2 more> lancearii siculi, equites picente (playing as syracuse)

i have to say that the cartaghinian generals seem too big for me, too many chairots, ultra javelin range(they managed to kill my general some times), maybe they're very strong too, i have attacked them with pelstasts and they seem to last a lot, they just dont die, you should tone down the range and the javelin weakeness (just an advice).

The stamina of the armies seem to drop quite quickly, the only thing i dont like is when the enemy is very far, because i have to wait for my army to recover when marching, and if not i just die with all my exhausted troops.

Well, that make me calm...

Thanks, dude...

[Hister]

You are welcome. I'll start solving some of the bugs mentioned here when I finish what I'm currently at and that is coding in the 3 different cultural levels (which replaced the religion). Yep that to will be in next patch...

[hellas1]

Hey all,

New Bugs! (Maybe):

1. Carpentarii (Etrusci faction): Main spear/javelin thrower has NO javelin in his hand but the accompanying assistant has 3.

2. Ferentarii (Etruscan faction): Showing as white! No color, facial expression or weapons, just white like ghosts. Is this a skin or sprite issue?
It seems like a skin issue to me.

That's it so far,
hellas1

P.S. Please release the next build asap because I really REALLY like this mod!
