[Release] Sebidee's Charlemagne Expanded - Unit Roster Overhaul

[♠ Thomas Cochrane ♠]

Doing that would have made making and balancing the mod quite a bit more time consuming and since time is always limited editing the startpos for the starter armies was the easier solution. So what if you can't use TPY mods for the time being? Alternative TPY versions will be made. Have patience.

In the future I might change the mod so that it doesn't need a startpos but you have to remember that I don't get paid for this so sinking a lot of time into something which can easily be worked around isn't a big priority.

I certainly wouldn't want to be seen as making demands on your time and effort. Your unit pack is great. But there are many more types of mods than TPY mods that change the startpos. Chief of which IMO is Age of Vikings, which would seriously benefit from a faction diversity pack like this. Have you considered contacting them for to combine your efforts and make your pack compatible?

Cheers!

Ignore that guy, he clearly doesn't understand anything about the mechanics under the hood of any mod.

Welcome to TWC tuli. Happy first post.
Having made many mods myself over the past 8 years for various TW titles, including Attila, I believe I understand a thing or two about modding.

The mod is technically not finished (although it is balanced and fine for playing). I updated this a few days ago and am planning at least another two major updates in the future. I will also release minor updates whenever I fix a bug or change the balancing of a unit. I don't want to go through the hassle of removing and uploading non-steam files whenever I update so I won't have a non-steam version until I'm completely finished working on the mod.

Well it's working fine for me. You must be using an incompatible mod.

No problem mate

The main reason I chose to make brand new units instead of overwriting the existing units is because of the sheer number of units I'm adding. In the first version of the mod where only the 8 playable factions were overhauled I had something like 390 new units. When I have the minor factions finished that number will be close to 600! As you can imagine trying to balance so many units is a nightmare so I have them all carefully named with things like dane_primarysword_1,2,3,4 and 5. It just made it easier for me to actually make the mod that way and it would have been a hell of a lot more difficult to balance if everything wasn't so carefully named.

But that's not the only thing. There's other stuff like recruitment buildings and garrisons and technologies and I had to make sure each one of them corresponded correctly so that the units actually appeared properly in the campaign. If I didn't have my naming conventions then there would have been a much higher chance of me making some kind of error in the database that, with a mod so big, could take days to find. I didn't have time to risk making mistakes like that (I was racing against Warhammer's release and only had a few months to make a mod that should have taken a year!).

Lastly there's the starting armies themselves. In many cases I completely changed the balancing of a faction's roster and their garrisons because I wanted them to have a more unique flavour than they did in vanilla (an example of this is the Kingdom of Asturias). Putting new units in the startpos rather than overwriting gave me more freedom to make the starting armies that I wanted.

A lot of people ask me about Age of Vikings but I'm not sure I would recommend using my mod with that even if they were compatible. Doesn't Age of Vikings take place in a later time period with new factions and a completely different starting positions? My rosters are tailored made for the factions in Charlemagne's period so I don't really understand quite how they would fit.

As for future plans. Hopefully I will be able to find someone who can make a faction unlock startpos for me or I will learn to do it myself. In that case my mod will unlock factions and hopefully I will be able to add in other TPY versions too once the mod is completely finished. So there won't be any need to use other startpos mods with it!

[Jason Wolf]

When you have made the faction Unlock can you add dilemmas and kingdom events?

can someone make a direct download of this mod i cant find any

[Darth Lapinou]

First of all, thanks for this awesome mod !

I experience an issue with it where the modded units names are not showing. I tried a few usual solutions and none worked, and I believe it is because my game is in french. If you do not support this language, maybe I could help you by redaction a french language file or something ?

[Darth Lapinou]

Edit : Actually, I switched the game to English, and it's way better. Maybe multi-language is not a priority, which would be logical. If a moderator comes by, feel free to delete these two messages.
And if you want french unit names, I would still be glad to help.

[Sebidee]

Yeah other languages isn't a major priority since I'm not sure exactly how many people would want to use it, it has to be significant to justify the effort that would go into making a translation.

[mhawari]

Yeah please someone make a direct download, coz all attila steam mod not working to me.

[Sebidee]

There are now alternate turn per year mods available for this if you would like to used them instead of the main mod. They come in 8, 12 and 24 turn per year versions.
