Oh, cool. I wasn't looking at that part of the map.

You guys at the closed beta stage yet?

[AnthoniusII]

Soon my delay has to do with my work that lasts long and its hard physicaly.

[_Tartaros_]

today, i doubled the amount of name´s in the game from about 1.500 to 2.870.
combined per faction, more than 7.000 are used and every factions has a solid base of names and surnames for agents, generals and characters.
i hope this fixes some stability issues too

[paleologos]

More names make the game more stable?

[_Tartaros_]

i noticed that some scripts need many different names in order to don´t get confused and ctd. i´ve implanted a "bogomil uprising" script with massive rebelsstacks + heretics spawning up. i first used "random_name", but as soon you get a double, errors happen. same with other scripts or descr_strat.

[paleologos]

Interesting.
Though, it seems to confirm my suspicion that it is the scripts that make the mods less stable than vanilla.

[_Tartaros_]

yes, scripts, spaces/dots and triggers

[paleologos]

I see.

This is also available for you guys to include, if you want it:

Really nice work son.

[_Tartaros_]

just to let you know - we work now on build 0.89 and grow this up to our internal alpha 0.90

[paleologos]

Anything I can do?

[Wallachian]

Fantastic news, we are getting closer and closer to a beta!

[_Tartaros_]

i´m currently adoped parts of XCAI into the build. mainly Campaing-AI and AI-Behaviour to set up the different AI-labels and offer different difficulties if played on easy, medium, hard and very hard

I'm pretty sure everyone here will play the campaign in H/H or VH/VH =D

[_Tartaros_]

most likely , all this additions need much testing in the future

edit: after 33 turns without ctd as ERE vh/vh with the new TGC-CAI based on XCAI

i´m pleased for the first test.

btw - carefull vievers maybe regard something else in this picture

[Marble Emperor]

Did you overhaul the building icons?

[_Tartaros_]

that´s mainly basil2 work (and he has it done some time ago)
but it´s part of the 2d eyecandy added last month

Did you use a new font for the UI?

[_Tartaros_]

the answer is correct sir!
i´ve implanted a new font using eastern roman writing as a base

[Nelduin]

Great addition! I'm sick of the vanilla M2TW font.
