I have been wondering if it would be possible to make file what makes all countries at peace when game starts, and no alliances, it might be intresting to see if computer controlled countries can make good new alliances, and right now those coalition forces are too strong if i play minor country, france is usually defending, and in few games british took easily spains capital and kept it so frances position would have been hopeless....

But at the start there are many armies at their allies terroritory area, so it might not work so easily even if its possible to remove alliances i am wondering what would happen to those armies.

And i just remembered game starts war with prussia and france when little time has gone, maybe this is stupid idea, and game would crash if tried it, but i got bit bored those starting alliances.

This would truly be awesome...right now the GC is rather scripted so a "reset" of the campaign map should up the replayabitlity by a mile...hope its possible

Look here about tutorial for Diplomacy. I think that if there are troops in the allied land there is a high possibility for CTD.

great!

is this the only general or will there appear more by time?

also i have the german version, now its half german half english, is it possible to rechange it to german?

There will be more. You have to make your own _loc file. Try these (all my references are in English):

1. Open your (German) patch_en.pack from [NTW]\data folder with PFM and go in localisation_loc. Click on "Exports as TSV" (up in the right window) and save localisation.TSV on your desktop.
2. Open localisation.TSV with OpenOffice (scalc) or Excel. Select all and (for OpenOffice) go in Data menu, Short and short it by column A, so you have the entries in Alphabetical order.
3. Now find the entries factions_screen_adjective_xxxxxx and factions_screen_name_xxxxxx (where xxxx is the name of the faction). Make these changes only in column B:
a. Hannoverian to Croatian and Hannover to Croatia
b. Cremean Khanate to Serbian and Cremean Khanate to Serbia
c. Catalonian to Moldavian and Catalonia to Moldavia.
4. Last thing you have to enter these lines at the end. Names_name_names_xxxxxxx_xxxxxx do not have to be translated in German if this happens by default in German _loc file. You have to copy as they are. You can copy them from Balcan_loc after you export that also in TSV.



5. First try to exit clicking on x in the upper right corner and then save the changes !!!
6. Now open Balkan_loc with PFM (keep a backup) and click on "Import TSV", point the localisation.TSV you've just prepared and save the pack. PFM cannot save _loc files but can save as. So save it as... (giving a new name you like e.g. to Du_Balkan_loc), in [NTW]\data folder. Remove from there Balkan_loc, play the game and report back.

I figured out the General and Admiral problem if you go to faction array/faction scroll down there is a tab that says character recruitment manager open that there is one saying General Recruitment and Admiral Recruitment change those from 0 to whatever.

Very nice! I tryed it out and the number you enter is how long time it needs to fill up the country with a new general.. it works and its easy to handle vey nice +rep =D

I am making some units for Balkan factions and I've started from Serbia since in Empire I had never added units to Serbia. I would like to know Serbian unit names and descriptions.

Nice mod, Ive played as Saxony, Ottomans and Spain thus far. However, will there ever be a mod released to have all factions playable and without the glitches, such as not being able to click on some of the cities under your control and fleets and so you can have the option to play as any of the factions without changing the things again. Thanks for the mods.

All of the new countries have the battlefield flag change,only Croatia has the hannover flag. Can somebody change the battlefield flag?

[Dalmat]

@husserl altho i am not serb but croatian,you need to understand that serbs were under ottomans untill late 19 century,way past this game time period,they served under ottomans,but they were not satisfied so they would occasionally raise.,they got their independents at 1877-1878

Only pictures with serb "army" in that period i could find is :
http://wapedia.mobi/thumb/ba1314682/...loadexternal=1

and

http://wapedia.mobi/thumb/ba1314682/...loadexternal=1

Also because ottomans took serbs croats and bosniaks to be janissaries,who wore "uniforms" similar to ethnic wear,balkan freedom fighters looked like janissaries because they fought in it also,but without turkish details and hats for example.

Serbian ethic wear:

Useful infos, thanks, though difficult models... I know the general history of Balkans since I am Greek, but not army units. Also I am interesting for original names (if there are) like Serbian Becari or Croatian Sinj Alkars.

bećari http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHS96yjznGY

as i said folk singers,drunks and womanizers from slavonia province,they sing about geting drunk and laid

Alkars have grat history because they were lancers like uhlans and defeated and routed largely superior in numbers ottoman army.Its tradition even till today that every year there is cometition called "Sinjska alka" which is like a sport cometition actually on points to lance trough small circle

Also if you wont specific picture of alkar uniform here it is:
http://www.hrvatski-vojnik.hr/hrvats...ore/alkar6.asp


Also hungarian hussars were croats and serbs along with hungarians in habsburg monarchy,actually every unit in the eastern half of habsburg monarchy were called hungarian,and on western german.


EDIT: here are also swiss grenadiers visiting alka so you can take a look at them also

[husserlTW]

Good news guys, Hip63 has made a GUI for all playable, so no more copy and paste files. Just a couple of clicks and you would be able to play your favorite Startpos Mod or vanilla.

Thanks a lot Hip!!! + many reps! (...)!!!(...)!!

I think you should replace Becari with Hajduci coz they was more important, or just add hajduci too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hajduk
