Cheers to the Repman!

Can't wait to finally try this, but I got to ask, did Izzy's new Russian units make it in this patch? I don't see them on the list...

[Kodiac]

343KB/Sec 30mins to go. Thankyou very much Repman

[Xtiaan72]

Nice one, Repman!

[Artemikon]

Repman thank you very much! I love this mod much stronger, this muslim music is so cool!! Hehe time to play al-muwahhidun

[alqaedaarmy]

Thanks a lot! Great mod.

[Marcus Tullius Cicero]

Long-time fan of DLV is back for this one ; )

[ttme]

Hi, I'm new to DLV
I'm just wondering is the 1.5 patch necessary for DLV?? because I heard some people had problems with playing SS with 1.5 patch

[Aeon`]

You need the patch.

[Brips]

Hi! Good work! Awesome! I hope 0 CTD... The only boring thing, is that we must each time restart a campain because you work too fast!=>When I'll see guns in DLV (one time)?!
And turntimes reduced by 50%?? Longer than 1 turn=6 monds??

No...1 turn is still 6 months. Turntime is a time needed for the game controlled factions to make their moves after you end your turn.

[Brips]

Oooh, great!

[Mokuch]

Deus lo Vult .Thanks a lot.

[Takverely]

please tell me where can i find patch 1.5??

[Marku]

you dont need 5.5

[Takverely]

I said 1.5 and not 5.5

[Marku]

[Brips]

I have an important question:
The others factions have the maximum military size too????? Because they have lots of armies and me just one big... If the IA doesn't have this limit, that's not equitable...
But good job, this version is more realistic, the story of my country is credible. Now, we feel that soldiers are men and come from population! We take care to their life.

[Overkill]

It will take some time to create big (or in my case HUGE army ). Remember economy is very important in this mod. I tend to take a very slow pace when it comes to creating army. My first priority is building markets, roads, ports...recruiting merchants. More money means more army. Send your merchants to trade asp...salt, wine and gold are very profitable. Obtain trade rights...I have noticed that you can trade without trade rights but you will gain less profit. OMG I sound like a Ferengi .
