CAUSA BELLI 2.2 (Additional units for Minor Factions)

[alhoon]

Update: I don't know why, but I think I fixed it -- I deleted my preferences file and set the autosave to read only. I'm able to play now.Lot of effort, but I do love the Persian roster so far. The Immortals are lethal.

Heheheh. It took a lot of effort to finetune the Immortals into a very powerful elite force but not superhuman. Keep in mind, that the Immortals despite being very good with their guns they are supposed to go close up and personal with their swords as well. They have limited ammo compared to other musket units.

Playing a Persian campaign is incredibly good fun, and it's almost exclusively thanks to this mod. If I recall Persia actually has a unique building or two as well that you can construct in the capital. It's a shame I can't restore the Zoroastrianism as the state religion, and spread Ahura Mazda's wisdom, but religion doesn't play too much of a role in Empire anyways.

Anyone else suggest any fun minors to play with this sub mod?

I've been itching for another campaign with CB, any word on 2.3?

I'd like to have emergent factions be playable since this mod as well as others expand the unit rosters. It's frustrating missing out on it all!

Do you have any specifics?

When I try to load a campaign using the stratpos files with aor and new towns, it crashes to the desktop. Is there any way to fix this?

You need to start a new campaign once you use different startpos files!

So.... how does a guy get this installed? The install instructions are FUBAR

I pointed that out over a year ago and nothing has been done to clean up the instructions. They're a mess.

Hello, I am currently in a Maratha game and I am getting CTD's whenever I try to load into a battle against the Mughals when their Qizi-dudes are involved. Is there any solution to this?

I followed them step-by-step and didn't have any issues with my installation.

[Jobrien1998]

Yeah, I'm having the same issues fully understanding the instructions., they're just not clear enough, and the download links further down the page aren't labeled. I'm not gonna risk trying to install it unless it's more clear.

[Jobrien1998]

Not to mention that its hard to tell which files are the updated files and which aren't. Anyways, I guess I'll just wait until somebody posts more clear instructions.

Hi cunuck32 - can you post me a screenshot of the army formation for both sides and I will check each unit

let me know if you are struggling still and I can post you a link to my own personal files

Here are the units, I'm pretty sure it's the Qizibashi cavalry causing the crash, since I've seen them mentioned in this thread as a cause of crashing.

[Marines]

It doesn't negate the fact that the first post is a complete and utter mess. You have the initial mod download followed by two links/attachments to two localization files then followed by three links/attachments to three CB Core files. Which ones are which with regards to the most recent update? Are they all the same? Are each different? This is the issue at the core of what I've been talking about for a long, long time now. That being, it's confusing, unintelligible, and leads to misdirection.

I'm simply at a loss as why Causa Belli can't be bundled into a single zip, the initial post corrected and updated, and do away with the counter-intuitive and often misleading instructions. I mean there are dead links throughout that instead of being removed completely from the post they've been crossed out. You've got a spoiler tag with the Old Instructions (not relevant?) still present that are no longer necessary. There is a separate set of instructions on a post further in, etc. To me, these are issues of a broader problem with regards to proper topic and mod maintenance.

Now I love the mod and greatly appreciate the work you and others that have put into it, but as a modder myself of Stellaris, ArmA3, IL-2, and other titles I would never leave a mod topic in as much disarray as this one is. There's an Edit button there for a reason, mate.

Not at the time. Qizi-dudes, the mounted ones, cause CTD. Autoresolve the battle. However, I think we have deactivated these and the Mughals should only have a few starting units.

Hammered, the lad is correct. It's way past time someone (not me ) puts it all in a single zip. I can't do it cause I have different files in my computer.
