Hello. I've subscribed to the all three parts and downloaded them. I checked them at the mod manager. When i enter the game, i see Divide et Impera interface but when my campaign starts, many of the textures are missing at the descriptions. All things seem smushed and there are missing sentences. How can i fix this? What did i do wrong? Also another question, when i enter the game, first it was original interface, i entered the mods tab from main menu and i checked a box about mods. Is it about that? Please help me. Thank you.

I've posted my problem but it did not appear. What is the problem if i may ask?

Nevermind i got it. GUYS! I've installed a clean version of Rome 2. After that i downloaded the steam version of DEI. All three parts. I checked the boxes before entering the game. When i enter the game, i see the DEI interface, its all good for now. I start my campaing. I see Rome, my capital, i click on it, there are buildings. I want to see what that building does, when i hover my mouse on it, the descriptions that appear on the left side are not entirely there. Half of them are missing. Some words and sentences are not there. What am i doing wrong? Is this how it is supposed to be? I've tried some things but none of them helped and i could not find a solution to this problem inside the forum. I beg you to help me.

That's pretty vague? Which problem are you talking about, this appears to be your first post so I don't really see how we can help you when you don't give use anything to work with.

[dantethenephilim]

I am posting my problem with details but mods are not approving it, still. Am waiting.

[Dardo21]

Did you get a message that it was removed? Posts don't need approval to be posted. Anyway if you found a bug, you should report it in http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...eports/page239

[dantethenephilim]

I've reported my problem to the link you've send me. I am so tired, i hope that help will arrive soon. Thank you.

Update 1.2.4
*Both Parts 1 and 2 of the standalone mod have been updated!
*Save game compatible.

Battle Stats Overhaul Based on KAM's Experimental Pack
- Extensive stat overhaul that makes them much easier to understand and compare.
- Larger importance placed on unit armor and experience.
- Added minimum amount of ranks per units type, no more “spaghetti” lines.
- Battle AI overall has been improved in terms of AI decisions and strategy.
- Formation attack has been removed to fix the issues with AI Roman units being underpowered in some situations and problems with animation teleporting.
- Romans now have an ability that will allow them to hold formation.
- Unit speed is now more streamlined and varied. Heavy and medium infantry are unable to sprint outside of charge, light infantry moves noticeably faster.
- Overall, walking speed has been increased to avoid prolonged march or waiting for reinforcements
- Spotting Distance Reworked – due to AI improvements in recent CA patches, AI does not benefit anymore from nearly unrestricted unit spotting. This patch how reworked has spotting works, making light units more useful due to their better scouting. Player will not be able to see enemy deployment, making your own deployment more important as you won’t be able to perfectly set your own units vs AI deployed units. Units with guerilla deployment and good hiding skills are more dangerous and useful.
- Unit Cost Overhaul – units have their prices redone to match new changes to unit stats.
- Various tweaks to unit UI and stat representation.
- Spear and pike infantry are noticeably better at defending from cavalry charges.
- Roman auxiliary cavalry is now working as a ranged/melee hybrid, skirmishing for a bit before closing in for a charge.
- Single soldiers can be again attacked by multiple enemies, meaning melee is not restricted to 1v1 fights.
- Wardogs reworked, they are very effective vs light units but very weak vs armoured units
- Elephants a bit better in melee, morale slightly increased, armour slightly reduced
- Elephant charge fixed – We have figured out a game issue that wouldn't allow elephants to cause significant damage, especially deadly vs light units
- Chariot damage from charge figured out - Chariots deal better damage if they fight in deeper formation as following ranks ride over knocked down infantry, especially deadly vs light units
- Ranged infantry is now much weaker vs cavalry charges
- Lowered morale penalty for death of your commander during battle
- Increased HP of buildings by 50%
- Fixed floating dead horsemen bug for some cavalry units.
- Short pikes are now better vs armoured units
- Germanic pikes size increased from 200 to 300 due to being light, short pike unit


CAI Overhaul by ScipioTheGreat
Listed below is a brief overview of the changes and additions to the CAI with this rework. It is important to note that these are dependent on faction personality settings, probabilities, and a number of other general factors.
- AI minimum success chance to attack: 25% -> 40%
- Better financial/development management and decision making
- Will utilize navies in a more beneficial way. Following action ratings have been increased:

• Defend settlements
• Protect strategic areas such as sea regions
• Smarter and higher use of stances, and will raid/patrol in more decisive areas

- Invasions and attack operations will be more frequent, powerful, and impactful on the campaign map

• Bigger build up and larger groups used
• Higher chance of fellow AI allies participating & providing support
• Other Neutral/hostile factions will take advantage of the opportunities that arise from these events, and one can expect more war declarations and military actions against either the attacker, defender, or both

- AI will exploit any windows of opportunity more frequently and aggressively. Strategic placement and defense is of much greater importance
- Varying on the faction type and personality, Settlements are more likely to be the targets of attacks, and desirability to capture strategic regions has been raised
- More effective stack management introduced:

• Navies wont get stuck in far out sea areas
• Pathfinding issue over land that caused stacks to get stuck while en-route to an objective has been fixed
• Abnormal defense actions and retreat decisions fixed
• AI will group stacks together to be used in various roles, such as defending, attacking, and movement actions
• Minimum navy and army stack unit numbers increased

- Nearby threats and events will see a higher chance of response by the AI. If the player is noticed building up and massing forces, the AI is more likely to provide response measures
- Agent use and management reworked to be better balanced.

• Used defensively more
• Attack regional enemy agents
• Support army forces and attack operations

- More realistic and improved weighting values. Decision and action-making will be more appropriate and intelligent. The AI will take a number of reworked variables into consideration
- Financial management changed to make the AI focus more on economical, military, and naval development and funding, instead of less important aspects

• More naval spending
• Lowered and balanced cost and reoccurring upkeep considerations
• Increased Diplomatic funding slightly, and funding to be more viable for urgent and valuable agreements
• Better long-term development decision making

Traits Overhaul - See Preview
- New Changing Traits that will increase and decrease based on in game actions and situations.
- New Background Trait images that will help distinguish the different ones.
- These traits will be added in save games and should be compatible.

Ancillary Changes
- Ancillaries have been moved to different slots. There are now 3 slot types: Equipment, Military Advisor and Civilian Advisor. In save games, some ancillaries may disappear but will reappear when the slot is changed the first time.

Agent Skill Changes
- Agent skill effects have been changed and reworked. Many older and obsolete effects have been replaced. Some ability unlocks have been moved to different skills.

Pirates & Raiders

Armenia's starting general is named Sham, it should be Arsham (Hellenize version is Arsames) Also Orontes is the Hellenize version of the Armenian Yervand. Are the names going to be in the Hellenize version, or how the natives would say it?

[Dresden]

We updated all the names and political party names to be more accurate. I am not sure which was chosen, that is a question for Vardan or KAM.

This is great! Thank you, guys, for your constant support and improvements to the game!

Now I just can't wait to get back home and lay my hands on it!

[Throwerofstones]

Great work guys, really appreciate the hard work put into this!

Does this mean we can delete the beta123f?

Thanks!

Yes

[DeadInTheWater]

Is that bug still present, that causes phalanx units to spin while engaged?

[KAM 2150]

It will always happen until CA fix it, which is most likely never going to happen.

[DeadInTheWater]

F'in CA... from my understanding it doesn't happen too often though correct? Is there anything that can be done to mitigate it on my end. Also, is it more player or A.I. units that do it? Or both?

[KAM 2150]

It can only happen in phalanx vs phalanx combat and not in all cases. It is issue for AI, for player not so much as at worst case, you can manually reposition your phalanx. Simply put, game engine is targetting a center of other unit while trying to keep a line so if AI unit is positioned on a side of your phalanx unit, it will attack it from an angle instead of trying to match frontage.

[DeadInTheWater]

Thanks for the reply and fine service! Looking forward to trying the mod out!
