Stainless Steel 4.1 Released!

[proelium_committere]

Very, very good mod. I played as Milan and I was defeated by the Byzantines and the Holy Roman Empire. I played on vh/vh and I played all Total War Games. But in this campaign, the enemy buildy so vast and terrible armies, fought in battle so steady...Funny!
I like this difficulty, but...winnig would be nice

Is vh/vh recommed for this mod? A hard Battle AI and a Very hard campaign AI is okay, too?

Pardon me if I missed this, but does 4.1 install into its own folder or does it change vanilla game files?

thanks

Is it somehow possible, to play SS4.1 with R&P Mod BigMap 2.3?

[Namm]

Are 4.0 saves compatible with 4.1?

[DrunkNIrishMan]

Yes, but it's recommended to start a new campaign to minimize any possible errors.

1. SS4.1 installs in it own folder, leaving vanilla alone
2. It best to start a new campign as traits, units stats etc have been edited.
3. Don't know R&P Mod BigMap 2.3, but suspect that it would be a great deal of work as SS has its own new areas, factions etc, and a slightly bigger map anyway.
4. Personally with the vanilla Ai I would go for hard campaign, very hard battles.
5. Portraits, its the princesses only.

SS rocks. I like it even more than I already do because of the Byzantine arquebuse.

Tempting fate i know, but been playing SS 4.1 (no other mods) for about 30 hours on my English campaign - up to year 1407 so far. Not a single CTD. must be the most stable mod I've ever played. Loading screens are very professional. Overall I'd happily recommend this to anyone wanting a mod for MII:TW.

Very enjoyable campaign too, have about 40 provinces and am in a strong position. Hope to finish in the next few days.

Having only played SS 4.1 for a few hours, I have to say that this mod makes the game everything I expected Medieval II to be - I was very disappointed with vanilla, but your mod, and the mods included, has completely changed my opinion on the game.

From basically unplayable to very enjoyable. Creative Assembly should offer you a job.

Does this have a blood mod included? I downloaded and i'm about to give this baby a whirly. D0h! I just seen a thread at the bottom of the page that answered my question. Now time to give it a go. Rekindle the Total War flame SS 4.1!

Could we get a torrent?
Many people, including me, dont like Filefront.

[Nightbringer]

i posted some links to mega upload for people who dont like filefront a few posts up. i havent ever made a torrnet though so you'll need someone else to do that for you.

Playing Portugal, year 1191, end turn and when Scotland's turn comes up, CTD. Unspecified Error yada yada. What do I do?

[Nightbringer]

if you are using a NOCD crack that is the problem, if not then it is unknown. you need to buy the game to make it work, or find a better NOCD crack.
btw, do you have an xbox live account called space monkey, and did you used to play Halo 2 with Nightbringer09, because that was me.

[Grubbyhaze]

Is there some way to tunr off the shadows during the battles?
I seem to remeber being able to do this back when I first
played the game, I am trying out stainless now and have massive lag durning battles. Am sure turning off shadows would fix this

Thanks

[Korgar]

Search under the video options and set your shadow quality to none

[Grubbyhaze]

I did that under video options I only see campain shadows not battlefield
shadows, but i remember it being there before, was wondering thins had something to do with the mod.

thanks

[Grubbyhaze]

Oh i found it!!!
thanks
