    Default [Submod] Byg Grim Reality II for ChivalryII:SV3.3 (Release)

    Modeling logistics & army supply by cash penalties is to me both questionable from a historical perspective and improper to the game play.

    I have therefore ported BGRII onto SV 3.3 - this is a far more structured model, realistic and fun at the same time. It also affects the martial traits of generals in the human player's faction, for better balance and harder battles.

    You can read the main facts of BGR2 and other Byg's submods on Byg's thread

    My SV33 minimod is attached here below.

    Installation :
    Unpack & copy my files such that the "data" folder in my package is merged
    with SV "data" folder - make a backup copy of the original files before !

    Alternately, install JSGME 2.6 and put my submod into it (recommended).

    My mod does not remove the original "field cost" (cash penalty) system from SV,
    but keeping it along with BGR2 is not recommended. In order to remove it :

    • Locate & edit all files named "campaign_script.txt" in SicilianVespers
    • Search for "Part IV: Field Costs"
    • Delete all code till "Part V: BB&B Events"
    • Your "campaign_script.txt" files should finally look like this:

    Code:
    ; papal_states omitted    
    
    
    ;-------------------Part IV: Field Costs-----------------------------------------
    
    
    ;-------------------Part V: BB&B Events------------------------------------------
    
        ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
        ;; AI-Faction Leader Death Messages ;;
        ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
    As usual, better make a copy of the original files, before editing ...

    Savegame compatibility : in order to play without field costs, you must start a new campaign, otherwise the minimod is compatible (but you won't see full effects on pre-existing family members).


    Hope you find this submod useful.


    PS : Also hope SV 4.0 could natively include it

    Nice You do submods initially for yourself or you like to mod?

    And I hope SV will just be released someday, further suggestions later I'd say...

    Do them for my own use, then hand them over so I do not have to integrate them again on next main release ... except that SV 4.0 is taking a bit too much

    Wouldn't care to add in the Next Heir Ancillary Mod from SS in an idiot's guide format to your list would you?


    Feel free to add me.

    This is awesome Morfans, really looking forward to RB AI and getting back into Chivalry II (haven't played in over a year from waiting on 4.0, much prefer the mod's design but Kingdoms Grand Campaign mod w/ ReallyBad AI has a much more fun computer opponent to play against IMO). Thanks for doing this and releasing it!

    Hopefully not
    (I prefer the Chivalry II method of recruitment, Grim Reality forces you to campaign with junk troops, which is unhistorical)

    Well, in SS that is partly because of "real recruitment". However, I am totally with you.

    What I am releasing here is BGR Version 2, which has nothing to do with recruitment.

    This submod introduces logistics & supply (your armies consume their supplies if they campaign for too long and get progressively less dependable - they can even desert - if supplies are not replenished).


    @Slim50 : Next-heir shouldn't be that difficult. I don't use it because it's too good to be true - history is full of pathetic rulers I'll try to integrate it ...

    AHA!

    If it is only the logistics&supply part, I will try it out!

    @Morfans: Thanks for sharing this! I'm interested trying it out but I can't see the attached files for some reason (just shows no attachments). Were they removed or is there maybe some rule that I can't see them? Would you mind posting them to another file host and providing the link?
