[RELEASE] Battle for the Baltic 2.0 for SS6.4 (Hotfix updated 22nd December)

[Caesar Clivus]

oh holy --------

i'm sorry but i installed it and i have RC/RR.............

is there a way to remove the files again because now my game does not start anymore

Sorry you'll have to reinstall. You might get away with just reinstalling RR/RC, but if that doesn't work you'll need to do a full reinstall of SS.

How do I play SS 6.1 now that I have this installed? Because I have a LAN hotseat with my friend. Is it possible to play both without needing to install stainless steel 6.1 twice and let BFTB go over one.

No to have both installed you're going to have to have two copies as you described.

Stupid question, can I tick to disable supply lines during the installation of SS 6.1 and still install and play this?

Yes but you will get the supply system back as BftB2 has it's own traits file that will overwrite the no-supply file.

Caesar,

What about the checkboxes on the 6.1 patch, leave them unchecked?
Crimson Tide ok?

Crimson Tide works fine. Been using it myself and I highly recommend it

The checkboxes when you install 6.1 dont really matter as the BftB will overwrite all the files any of those submods use anyway (except for permanent arrows). But to be sure they should be left blank as BftB isn't designed to work with them yet (again, the permanent arrows should still work fine though)

I see.. Well I'll have to endure it, for the ancient, free and mountainous north!

Hey Caesar, congrats on the release! The new rosters are sick, due thanks to the Rusichi team!

I know it is a beta, so maybe it is set up like this, but I have a qq - there is no battle or title screen music - why?

Again great work!

You may have to delete the events.idx and events.dat files in SS\data\sounds.

I see.. Well I'll have to endure it, for the ancient, free and mountainous north!

When the beta is finished I'll release files without the supply system for those so inclined.

[Lukianos]

Thanks Caesar!

[HarneY]

Thanks for informing great MOD

[Lukianos]

I know it was just released, but I assume it's in beta because you would like some input from the community on bugs. I noticed two odd ones:

1) Every rebel Eastern European general I fought was a silver surfer. Also, my troop captains were the old models (in plate mail) - I don't know if you changed those or not.

2) Villages (Moscow, Caffa) do not get the option to upgrade to a town at 1000 pop., or at 2000. Minor bug?

I hope you don't mind the reports!

Hooray! All hail Caesar Clivus!

Now then.. To glory!

[Violator]

Gongrats Caesar!!!

[Caesar Clivus]

One more thing I noticed Caesar, the Eastern European generals are all appearing as silver surfers. Just thought I'd let you know!

Crud. Can you tell me which factions and which generals in particular: faction leaders, heir, generals, captains or (god forbid) all of them?

Updated the installation instructions in the first post. Forgot to add to delete the map.rwm files for the early era and late era campaigns before playing them. If you've already started one of these campaigns, my apologies.

1) Every rebel Eastern European general I fought was a silver surfer. Also, my troop captains were the old models (in plate mail) - I don't know if you changed those or not.

I'll look into it.

2) Villages (Moscow, Caffa) do not get the option to upgrade to a town at 1000 pop., or at 2000. Minor bug?

Sorry yeah that's because I forgot the instructions about deleting the map.rwm files first as described above. Really sorry about that

I hope you don't mind the reports!

No of course not! That's why it's just a beta release. The more bugs that get reported, the less there will be in the full release

Downloading.

I can't resist. Installing another copy of SS just to play BftB.

Love the new Novgonod and Kievan Rus units, and the addition of Sweden. Thank you for all of your work.

One small thing, maybe I missed something or end-user error, but I don't get victory conditions for neither Novgorod nor Kievan Rus for the early and late campaigns.

[King Siegfried]

I assume Sweden is yet to be finalized?

Russia and Kiev look FANTASTIC, of course!

No it's the final roster. Why would you think it wasn't?

[King Siegfried]

I meant texture-wise. They're a little... rough around the edges, I guess?

Oh, and the UI of the main screen could use a little bit more opacity. The background shows through a lot, which makes it hard to read a lot of the text.

No they're finished.

I have to agree:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Actually I think that is just me forgetting to include a file in the download

CC... about settlement upgrades...are they really "bug" because I remember that you have mentioned that some settlements cannot be upgraded at all (sorry if Iam mistaken). I very enjoy Novgorod roster and playing for them even when beginning is hard as hell...just crappy starting units but hey, no complaints for it is enjoyable being pwned at first. I love streltsy...to hell with accuracy ....They are maybe best gunner unit I remember playing for (of course Theras Faustian Reich is something completely different. Sorrow out.
