how did you port SAI to Mundus Magnus?

how did you port SAI to Mundus Magnus?

Porting map is easy but wrong coordinates caused many CTDs.
You have 2 options adding MM as a provincial campaign or a new mod folder. At the moment I cannot decide which one less problematic porting MM as provincial campaign or a new mod folder. I think the second one is safer but torturous.

P.S. ahowl11 has a very nice MM compitable with BI I am still trying to mod the map according to this map :

Great idea building a wall over the Aegean. I can only imagine the surprise as those Herulii pirates come to sack Greece again only to find a colossal stone wall has been built over the sea. I like your style.

Seriously though, that's a first, I have no idea what's going on.

It is just a reverse effect of porting SAI into Mundus Magnus.

BTW I had finished mapping Britannian provinces and began begging Greeks to give the wall back before British people will sue me

Good luck with your porting, it looks really cool and very promising!! Maybe we'll see Julian on the shores in front of Taxila..

This will allow you to include Hadrian's Wall in the right place plus the villages.

But I have realised as I write this that the co-ordinates will be different so it will be a trail and error approach. Perhaps just start with Hadrian's Wall first.

Can I ask why this map?? and do you intend to alter the city/town names. If/when you are successful I would be very keen to see the results as we could use the map for RO.

Cheers and good luck.

@julianus heraclius
Thanks for the info. I like this map because you can load an army from Mediterrenean into india via suez canal. I like tactical amphibious assults which many times enabled me to slow down AI as it always leaves its hertlands defenseless.
I am mapping the map according to notitia to reflect the real roman goverments that may mean around 100 provinces for whole Roman Empire and rest for others. In addition I want to replace Iazyges with another faction.
Thanks a lot.

It is just a reverse effect of porting SAI into Mundus Magnus.

BTW I had finished mapping Britannian provinces and began begging Greeks to give the wall back before British people will sue me

Wait a second.... In 116 Hadrian's wall hadn't even been built yet! Nice try......

[St. Imperator]

My original campaign, sadly, wasn't to be finished, but Jupiter be damned if I'm not starting again! I think I'm off to a good start.

Will I continue?

Of course I will!

Just a small note. Those screenshots are slightly out of date. I know have possession of the Alamanii provinces, north east Spain, and an army landed in southern Britannia. More to come, soon!

[BroskiDerpman]

I believe you should post those in the IB:FD/ RR section as it seems like it's IB:FD v7 with ihatemnday's submod.

This is th SAI section.

THough I can;t wait till RR!

Looked for it, couldn't find it. Would you mind posting a link?

[BroskiDerpman]

It's right below the subsection we're posting in.

"Invasio Barbarorum Flagellum Dei"

[St. Imperator]

I'm going to assume you're pointing me to the discussion thread, as I don't see a screenshot thread in that subsection...unless that's what it also is.

Thanks Joar!

(I purposely didn't put a link so he could learn to browse this subforums, I had the same problem in the beginning until I actually read around. )

After a tactical withdrawal from France, when the Franks took most the cities in the north I decided to hit back, so I could exterminate the populace when re-taken (in order to boost the treasury).
Suddenly 3 stacks had formed up against Julianus' single stack & the un-thinkable happened!

I think I just re-enacted the Battle of Argentoratum/Strasbourg!

At first I thought I would be soundly defeated, turns out the other way around

[Sertorio]

NIICE, it must have been a hell of a battle. I usually try to pick one by one or have another stack close to Julian. +Rep

To be fair, the battle was quite short
I just had my cavalry keep attacking & withdrawing at the flanks when the main groups were engaged, as soon as they ran I order 1 cavalry unit to keep following so they wouldn't re-group.
Also, thank god for Shieldwall, without it - this battle might have been different!
Also made sure to stand at the edge of the map so they couldn't get around me - to force them to attack the front.

But yes it was quite exhilarating to see this heroic victory

Thanks!
Soldier.
