Total Vanilla Beyond 2.0 Release

[4zumi]

I just added another extensive unit overview for the outremer/crusader states/welsh/merchant units in the second post of this thread.
Have a look.

Good news everyone,

Patch 4 is here.

This time I squished this

-Banners of the Cumans, Badgad, Armenia, Kwarezmian not turnin white when routing
-Siege towers are now the right size for large city walls
-removed a mount that caused an error message (but was otherwise harmless)

Curses upon me,

I was to fast and put the wrong descr_mounts into the zip.

Please try this one:

Sorry.
Everybody that has downloaded patch 4 please redownload the debugged version.

[4zumi]

Good news everyone,

the version 2.1 is fresh out of testing.
I call it the "Mercenary's Delight".


!Important Notice!
Incorporated in this update are the patches 1 to 4. So there is no need to install them beforehand.
This update will break savegames. You will have to start a new campaign.

Contained in this update is:

-3 Jihad specific units, recruitable throughout the east. Mujahideen (Sword + Shield), Mounted Mujahideen (Spear + Sword), Fedayeen (Naphta Bomb (2 pieces) and sword, can hide anywhere)
These are recruitable once your general is on a jihad (much like crusader knights). This should give the jihads a little more spice, instead of the 2 lackluster units one got beforehand (those can still be recruited)
-2 Eastern mercenary units (Syrian Auxiliaries (Archers) and Persian Mercenaries (Spear)). Those are recruitable by anybody throughout most of the east. They are the equivalent to the Mercenary Spearmen and Crossbowmen in Europe. The east was in dire need of them.
-Viking Mercenaries recruitable by orthodox factions in some eastern european regions (think of a straight line from Novgorod to Constantinople)
-A bit of rework to mercenary availability (not much. Most noticeable should be the Dismounted Crusader Knight which can now be recruited in Europe. Formerly only in the Levant.
-A small fix for a wrong unit entry for polish starting troops.
-Nothing more, that I remember.

Addendum:
Before someone mentions, that I have said, that there could no more units added without deleting some...
This was the case, I condensed some units and made them mercenaries and regular units in one so I could add a different one. This will now get very difficult, as I am not aware of any doubles (merc - regular) anymore.

Let me know if something breaks.
I'm pretty sure I included every file I changed, but due to an enormous headache and other cold related symptoms I'm not 100% sure.
So if you experience a CTD or an error, let me know, so I can fix it.

And here a view of the world after 228 turns only AI testing

[horusaximand]

just checking 4zumi we put the newest patch in the data file in totalvanillab?

[4zumi]

You install it like a patch by putting the data folder contained in the zip file into the /totalvanillab folder of the installation.
Then it overwrites the correct files and puts the new files into the correct places.

Remember: By doing so you will need to start a new campaign. Savegames will be broken with the 2.1 Update.

Spectacular improvement of vanilla Medieval II. Excellent work!

[4zumi]

Thanks for the kind words

[♔atthias♔]

saly my internet is not good enough to get it but as soon as is I will get it

[4zumi]

I hope you can get it to work this time

[♔atthias♔]

I hope you can get it to work this time

me too 4zumi me too

have a minor bug to report on 2.0 (not sure if 2.1 address it): the Norwegians are unable to build churches in castles or cities, didn't notice it until i invaded the Americas

[4zumi]

hey joe,

thanks for reporting. I will look into it.
A quick look in the EDB revealed nothing suspicious. Norway should be able to build churches.
But I will test it in the campaign and report back.

It is not adressed in 2.1 as I was not aware of that bug.

[horusaximand]

Hey 4zumi the mod is great. I think medina doesn't have a port though don't know if that's intentional because trade routes on the sea go there but there is no option to build any port there. The units you can build in the holy land are awesome though it's a nice touch especially the Knights of lazarus and edessa.

[horusaximand]

I was also wondering if I destroy the Knights of Santiago headquarters will I lose guild points? I'm playing as England so I don't get anything out of it really

[4zumi]

Thanks.

I'll have to look into Medina. Could be a mapping bug or something like this. If the sea trade routes go there, there should be a port. Thanks for mentioning it.
Destroying a Guild Headquarter of a guild you can not built should not harm your reputation with the other catholic orders, as they have seperate triggers. But I could be wrong, anybody can feel free to correct me.

i also tried using the 4tpy script that someone else mentioned in this forum, and i'm thinking there might be the cause of it. tried a game as england and i couldn't build a church either.

[gbfanjoe08]

can't edit, but yes the campaign script for the 4tpy was the issue. i replaced it with the campaign script of totalvanilla and i got my churches back

[gbfanjoe08]

ok new issue

downloaded the 2.1 update and started a campaign as the Khwarazmian Empire. Every time I to capture Samarkand the game crashes. Here's the log:
