Regarding V 1.92 beta

**hellas1** · June 10, 2006, 02:00 PM

Hi team,

Thanks for TFT, it's cool!

One prob. though: this beta caused a CTD for me when playing as the parthians and pompey.

Could someone please release a fix for it, just to finish the TFT series?

I'm being for real, it did crash.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen! Continue your excellent mod!

I need more details.

Which 1.92beta are you using? v1.92beta03e?
When did it crash? Exactly what were you doing?

Thanks!

Hi Stuie,

I was using 1.92 beta 03E.

I was fighting a quick battle as the persian vs. gauls (I believe) on a large hill side. Midway thru CTD.

I was fighting a Q.B. as Pompey vs. Thracia (I believe) on a level plateau and another CTD midway thru.

Thank you sir, Hellas1 :original:

Ah - so they weren't campaign CTDs, they were custom battle CTDs. I have to admit we didn't test out custom battles very rigorously (as in - we didn't test them at all) because I never play them. I only made them available because people asked. But I'd still like to plug the hole, so...

You wouldn't happen to remember what units were involved, would you? Did you use a mix of everything available to each faction, or some smaller subset? As much detail as possible would go a long way to pointing me toward the problem.

I thought you meant about when you play against the parthians, if you zoom to them their models are messed up..was there a fix for that..didnt download any patches so far.

Ok - finally figured this one out. Fix will be in 1.92beta03f.

Hi Stuie,

I used a computer chosen random pick for both playing as the Parthains and Pompey.

That's it.

Are you launching the game using the provided exe files? (TFT_Caesar.exe, TFT_Crassus.exe, etc.)

**Stuie** · June 27, 2006, 08:29 PM

Updated download post with new improved link (for those like me that don't like rapidshare).

**SyZer** · June 29, 2006, 04:54 PM

THX so much for an adicional download link :-).
Its one of most interesting mod i've played.
the lowering city growth is good idea.
the wnter handicap is good idea - but comp dont use the advantage properly.
the +2 stars to AI also sounds well
servers - should give +5%hapines??-an idea

at last the comp dont run home after a first charge - lots of thanks for those.

If u could add some a new music to a old ones - that would be perfect.
(maybe an combining two mp3 in one:
the old one(+fade effect)a new one. but it would envolve a wave recompressing i gess.
Anyway an extra music would be apriciated.

Here's bug list:
Baecula - bug : i think its coded as juli capital - cause after a few turns there's loyalist revolt.
secondly: after winning 2 city with healveti i'havent got any money(WHY?).
and the games where trown - where?? in Baecula(spain) i got this city 2nd time :-)
bolonia? - its a proper capital.

Lots of cities - now its more about besieging towns, than a field combat.

Unit balance:
Romans - to strong: ther got 30defence and one of best gaul unit just 17 - so the legions are to cheap and far to good.(at least twice)

the starting batles with helveti was so borring - AI atacked my legions with 3-4 stacks.
After seting the toops i went to take tea - and had won first battle :-D
The comp was unable to kill more than 20men of each legion. THEY R to GOOD.

Misle unit - mecenaries - i could build almost entire army with those range killers. they R to good.
I think the comp shuld could rise so good missle units in his cities.
but as a mercenaries missle units they are far to powerfull.

Roman general calvary(Caesar) - i won entire battle using only them(with some missle support)
in fact Caesar fought in side of foot troops. (he was mounted to move more switly - but still he didnt got a tank-like calvary)

Roman calvary - on first level of stables is not so good idea, instead it should be equites(like) weaker troops, and romans on the second level.

What will happen when i'll eradicate gauls but one of theirs city is taken by a Scypi(pompey)?? I can still got CONQUERED GAULS-trait??

helveti calvary use a peasant unit card in description...

PS. how to disable a combine_units_after_batlle feature ??

**Stuie** · June 30, 2006, 06:53 AM

Thanks for the comments, SyZer.

But wait a minute... you're telling me the Romans are too strong/cheap, yet you want to disable one of the offsets to this that I've put in place?

Here's how:

Open \The_First_Triumvirate\Data\scripts\show_me\Caesar_TFT_Campaign.txt (or Crassus/Pompey/Parthia) and simply delete the section that looks like this:

Code:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;   AUTOMERGE UNITS CODE     ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

THX.
in actual history roman army was almost equal to a helveti.
The barbarians used better swords and armors, because theirs metalurgy was developed betten. Romans imported lots of swords and other metal craftmenship. The celts was able to build a long sword even!.

The romans was superior due to theirs construction skills(brige building, setting permiters)
and also they valour and fighting in line skills.(romans used closer formations) so the disadvantage of theirs short blades was reduced.

Besides this legions were to coslty so romans rised limitaei troops, and eventualy they bacamed depended on auxilia.
The legions were stationed in bigest settelments, and in later period sometimes they were withdrawn from some provinces.

In this mod they got a triple more armor than barbarians??. and they can hire cheap superior archers.
I know that were some barbarian mercenaries (like alan) that weren't waring any armor - but it were so rare cases so they was described(as something bizzare)

Anyway - i like that mod :-D
