Best mods and add-ons for DVL 3.1 enh?

**bandicoot** · June 21, 2007, 09:34 PM

Just downloaded DLV 3.1 enh this week and have added Zappa's 1.7 changes (death mod, governor vs general, etc), RealCombat1.2 for DLV 3.1enh and OS26, and Officer 1.3b.

The mod is working great with no ctds (I'm in 1198 as england vh/vh), but am wondering if there are other add-ons that would make DLV more realistic and challenging without making it impossible?

Thanks again for all the great work, DLV dudes.

maybe you try out my ChangeCapital mod (for 3.1enh you have to merge the files manually since it's for 3.1 bf 1, but that won't be very much work - less than half an hour i bet) or my SOS script. however the SOS is only for 3.0, had no time to merge it with 3.1 and seems that no one's is interested in a 3.1 version... and the basic basic basic (

) SOS is already incorporated in dlv 3.1.

or do you think of new addons? what ideas do you have?

edit: just released the ChangeCapital v1.02 final for dlv 3.1 enhancer_02!!! no need for merging any more

I'm still not really clear on what your mod does other than allow the coronation capital to be changed.

The mod I've thought of most often is one that would allow you to enlist units from other factions if you take over their territories. In order to be realistic this would have to be VERY limited though to only specific types of units over and above what you could hire as mercenaries. It would not make sense that you could create the most elite units a faction has. Maybe also to only make it possible to recruit these units if the Happiness Rating in the captured settlement is extremely high (175%?).

Just a thought.

OTHER THOUGHTS ... ability for generals/princesses to take another wife/husband if the first one dies.
... more events/missions that require a particular general (e.g., Earl of Nottingham) to remain in a specific settlement or region and handle "homework" (crush a local rebel uprising).

That's about it for now.

it's not a mod, its an addon!

besides the feature you mentioned it also fixes two bugs and the change of the settlement costs 10000 bucks unless you play with the mongols - then you only have to pay 5000.

repman stated, that he won't integrate a AOR system into dlv, but an addon would be a good idea although it would be a huge amount of work.

yes, new mission would be great. if i weren't a total n00b on this sector i would have already created some new ones, but maybe i will see what i can do after my exams in a few weeks.

I wish that I knew something about program crunching as well. No big deal. Game is solid and better than just about anything else out there even without all the fancy stuff ...

I only dream of being back in school with nothing but exams to worry about.

ehm, it's not school - it's university. i'm studying computer sciences at the university of Bonn in Germany. and in fact, it's 50% mathematics...

cool ... am in Canada and here University is school.

Aye the "University" or "Uni" thing seems to be a Euro thing. Here in the states and in the great white north they call it simply school or college.

hmk, didn't know that...

As a European living in the US it is kind of hard to explain our school system as it is completely different up until the college level. I tend to call our (Dutch) Masters programs 'University' and the bachelors programs 'College'. This because in the Netherlands we make a clear distinction between the two, at least in technological studies. I have also noticed that our bachelors program is very comparable with US Masters programs, because when I compared classes, most were similar and almost all were more advanced that US bachelors programs in all but the most prestigious colleges.
