Sorry friend, finally I've found the same bug - let's name it the "general" bug

Sometimes in some obscure circumstances having both faction leaders on the field is fatal to the game. The most interesting fact is that this is not always lead this way.

Sometimes they fight a battle without any disturbances. The leader could be killed, fled or captured.

So the really bad thing is that I really did not know how to handle this at the moment. We need a good scripter here. Meanwhile I will search the files by myself.

Although anyone could still avoid the bug by splitting the general from his army.

**Marcus Bestia** · February 03, 2009, 10:17 AM

unfortunately, i've got a little bit different experience in my games. Every presence of faction leader or heir, both mine or AI, leads to ctd. I can separate my leaders from army, but not the opposite side. it is a limitation when you facing full stack army with enemy leader and in the coming battle you have to rely on somewhat stupid AI in autocalculation the result.
OK, have you any idea where could be problem or which files may be causing this? i'm not scripter, i would like to try search issue but i dont know where or in which area of files i should begin.

BTW this is my 100th post

**Chevalier IX** · February 05, 2009, 01:33 AM

hmmm.....do you suppose it is in some way conflicting with the fix that was put into place that allowed you to continue the game even after your faction leader was killed??I do not know of others but this only ctd's for me when the faction leader on either side is actually killed in the respective battle,almost like the game just does not know what to do from that point out...just a thought although it could just be an experience i am having with it

I can't download it from FILEFRONT, did you remove the file?

**Graf zu Adler** · February 06, 2009, 10:19 AM

Same with me....

**shakesword** · February 07, 2009, 06:46 AM

It seems for some unknown purpose it was removed several days ago. Thank you for noticing. I'm going to reupload it this evening.

The game maybe not very stable at the moment and I have not enought time to test it but it works more or less so there is nothing great in removing it instead we all could make it better searching for errors and ways to fix them.

version you've downloaded is for vanilla game, not for kingdoms. change kingdoms datadisk for vanilla disk in your pc, it should work then

**shakesword** · February 10, 2009, 07:46 AM

I've just changed the link in the topic. Enjoy.

Some sort of disclaimer:
Everything works at least for me. If it wan't work for you then just accept this fact. Bugs will always infest such builds 'cause I only have one machine with one specific set of soft & hard to test the game. From gamers to gamers.

To be specific this is my PC configuration: Windows XP SP3, Intel Core 2 Duo, Nvidia v-card 9600, 4 Gb RAM, Asus motheboard with some compatible chipset

**ColdFire** · February 10, 2009, 11:38 AM

Ok, hopefully it will work, sadly I currently do not have my normal disk, as a friend plays it while I play kingdoms.

**tobi_808** · February 10, 2009, 06:34 PM

Thank You ! Please feel satisfied, when i say that this is my inofficial Empire-"Sex-Doll", if you understand !

It minimizes the pressure while waiting for Empire and otherwise fCoK is one of my favourite Mods (BC and Stainless-Steel also ...) - It's unique and gives you an original and authentic Deep-Gameplay focussed on Battles !
I love the Battles ... and the thaughts about, where my Army will March to surprise the enemy without beeing surprised - unique feeling ! (caused by the reduced Spy-possibbillity, i first don't liked ... but ...)

--------------------

But hopefully it will be possible to fix the only Problem i have:
how can i prevent, that the New-Model-Army-Ordinance will be declared in February '44 ??? :hmmm:

I don't want / had wanted that !

- Mean, why should i forget my lovely Parliament trained bands and Essex-Regiments , these are my favouritew units, and after the ordinance they will be history or just the recruitment of them, but that's the same ...
and then the royalist got there long-range-elite musketeers and i only could rely on dragoons ...

I looked for the document, but didn't know what to change, so what's to be done to "eliminete this event from the Campaign" ???

hallo, megajames75! like my post? or have i answered your question? raise my reputation!

@tobi_808

This could be easily done by editing "export_descr_buldings.txt" located in "data" folder. Just remove event counter check on particular recruit_pool operators. However I personally do not like this kind of modding because it change the essential point of the game to be historically motivated. FKOC is not a fantasy world with gunpowder battles. Instead I like to roleplay hard trials because I know from RPG fans avoiding the hard is the shortest way to munchkin.

@Crusading Knight:

I've attached my config file with full screen mode on.

**Marcus Bestia** · February 12, 2009, 04:16 AM

Does anybody have same experience with these walking "siting governments" ?

**AlphaDelta** · February 12, 2009, 05:09 AM

Yes..They were a semi-failed experiment, but they still serve a very important function.

Without them you'll see the AI put ALL of it's historical battlefield commanders straight into the nearest settlement for the duration of the game.

Cheers

Of course, i understand your argument - and i also would agree,
but in my opinion the game should me allow to rewrite
History in an realistic way.
And i had decided, that the Training-methods and
logistic/support of Essex had been spread around england, and after that
declared a new model army, but in this way, no chance.
I don't think it is usefull to change your best troops in the middle of the game for untrained NewModelMilicia ...

But the point is: Everything is realistic in this game (so far i could be done)
- so it doesn't matter, if i cut of 1 decision ...

**Graf zu Adler** · February 21, 2009, 02:05 AM

Ahh...glad for a new link....now I can have FKoC to play with while I wait for Empire! Sadly my internet is far too slow to download the E-TW demo....but the 200 megs of FKoC, that's alright, doesn't take too long....and having played v1, I know it's great work!
