Well done as always, thanks

Guys if the game crashes before launching a campaign make sure you're extracting it with 7zip before try anything else because it's very likely it's not extracting properly if you don't use 7zip. It's possible some other extractors work but I've had reports before with winrar and such, 7zip is completely free, I use it for years and it's by far the best software for this stuff.

I'll now work on a new version as I'll look into overhaul the economy (I'll use descr_settlement_mechanics I've setup in the latest version of my classical Greece mod which shall fix economy issues also in this mod). The economy script for player will be changed to work with game difficulty settings. I'll look into add recruitment limitation.

I'll also look into making all temples factional, they'll all spread culture and also will autodestroy when the settlement is conquered by other faction just like the main temples. Ancillaries will still be exclusive of the main temples though. This also makes possible to add unique info images for all temples from different deities and all cult names will make more sense which adds to immersion.

I'll also look into fix some issues I've already detected. For example trade fleets it's hardcoded/bugged so adding it as bonus to buildings that aren't ports (or wharfs?) is useless as although it says in the building is giving the bonus it doesn't do anything. I'll look into replace the bonus maybe with experience for ship recruiting or just trade bonus. Also I've made the mistake of adding to the main temples and few other buildings an increase of recruitment slots but not as a bonus and the government buildings already do that, so they end up nulifying itself and not increasing properly as they should. So I'll correct this and add it as bonus to temples and other buildings.

If someone won a campaign already have come to the annoying issue where the audio of the video is mixed with a victory music, I'll fix this.

If you detect bugs or even just small issues or glitches let me know.

Can a moderator move this to Released Mods?

Hey, I have a problem with how I fire up, actions that can be removed, what kind of talk until we throw it all the way to the end immediately you send me to the pulpit without any error message, I have the original communication version on steam.

INSTALLATION:

1- Extract to your Medieval II Total War\mods.
2- Go to the new folder BAE_v09 in your Medieval II Total War\mods.
3- Use the "Executable" batch file to launch the mod.
4- Play and have fun.

If the game is opened in a small window do this:

Open Configuration.cfg with a text editor (preferably Notepad++) and you see this part:

[video]
movies = 0
windowed = 1 ## Windowed mode (windowed = 1) is usually more stable
borderless_window = 1
no_background_fmv = 1
show_banners = true
# widescreen = 1
# unit_detail = high
# grass_distance = 9000

Change windowed = 1 to windowed = 0

Then in game options chose the native resolution of your monitor, after that you can change to windowed = 1 again and you'll still have full screen.
