  1. Re: Are there going to be more changes to the faction reforms?

    If you want early reforms play DEI. You can get Imperial units in less than 200 years from the start of the game.

    I'm not entirely sure I see the problem, you're doing quite well for 14 turns in.
  3. Re: Historical discussions. Breathe life into this quiet fori

    Well according to Konrad Kyeser in Kingdom Come it was because Sigismund listened to Istvan Toth, but I'm pretty sure Toth wasn't a real guy.

    Re: Stainless Steel stable?

    Unfortunately by mod standards a single crash after 100 turns is really good, unless you mean there were a bunch of crashes at that point. Do you know how to post logs?
