original thread)
-1270 (+90).....gunpowder is discovered, you can start building the alchemy lab tree up to an university. Unfortunately it is still impossible,even with this minimod,to actually have a university in Paris when tokus_university_of_paris on year +77 fires.
-1324 (+144)....The early gunpowder period, this allows you to recruit hand gunners and basic bombards and build the first tier of cannon foundries. The exception are the turks, being able to recruit their Janissary Musketeers this early, but still from the high tier city structures. This is to give the turks an early advantage about the western factions, maybe it encourages them to besiege Vienna now. The other islamic factions also get their gunpowder troops earlier. This is just my design idea, I will explain further down how you can change that if you want to.
-1419 (+239)....The medium gunpowder period, you can now recruit more advanced gunpowder troops like Arquebusiers and better bombards as well as build the 2nd and 3rd best cannon foundries. Again the muslim factions get a slight advantage, being able to build cannons already while the western factions still have the bombards and mortars only. The cossak musketeers also become available now, this is to give the russians a counter weapon to the turkish musketeers as well as a chance for expansion. Please take into consideration that only citadels can build the 2nd and thrid tier of foundries, therefore castles and fortresses will always be reduced to bombards, even if the medium and late even fires.
-1481 (+301)....The late gunpowder period (regarding the game). The highest tier units and structures (royal arsenal) become available.

[Hruthwulf]

Looks good, pinko; I've been meaning to try out your blood mod anyway, and this gives me even more reason to dust off my DLV. Thanks!

[Rog]

Great, thanks! I will try it!

Just one question: you took the the RC for 3.1, so it isn´t adapted to 3.2? I mean the new factions aren´t in?

[KingChibi]

Very nice, I aways love realism mods, Downloading right waay!

[KingChibi]

Is there anyway you can put back the captains?

[Lumberjack]

Rog,

I started with zappa's ported RC (for 3.1) and have since updated it to include all the new units.

KingChibi,

There is, but as far as I can tell it'd be a lot of work.

[Old Snedly]

Does this work with 3.2? And what does Real Arrow do?

[Trajan]

There you go pinko, title changed.

[Lumberjack]

Does this work with 3.2? And what does Real Arrow do?

It's for 3.2 bugfix02.


Real Arrow makes arrows/bolts/javelins stick into the ground rather than disappear.

[Lumberjack]

There you go pinko, title changed.

Holy **** that was fast! I barely had time to reload the page after asking.

[jedisponge]

Just FYI, officers aren't included in the export_desc_unit file. Is this intentional or not?

If not, is there any way other than manually adding the officers line for every unit by hand? Otherwise... I guess I'll start adding them.

Otherwise the mod seems to be good from the few moments I've played.

Edit: also, after installing the mod I wasn't able to recruit tier 1 melee units (I was just 6 turns into a new campaign) in my cities or castles. Just a heads up.
Edit #2: It seems like officers are included afterall, at least in the export_desc_unit file. But they're not showing up for me. Hmm...

[Duffman50]

Using your realism mod in my Roman Empire(Byzantine) campaign I cannot recruit any ground units from my cities now, only agents and ships.

[Lumberjack]

Im not sure but think the recruitment issue might just be dlv3.2, as I noticed the same thing playing as Teutons (no early militia), but just assumed it was intentional. I havent altered the buildings file in any other way than the aforementioned changes. I'll look into it though.

[Old Snedly]

I've installed this mod and everything seems to be working well so far (I really like the RC changes) with one exception. I'm not seeing any arrows or bolts, neither in the air or sticking on the ground. All I see is a whizzing projectile graphic, but no longer any arrows or bolts.

Any suggestions?

(to Chibi, below: I've already reinstalled the mod; both manually and using the "unzip to folder" command).

[KingChibi]

Re-install the mod

[marcius2000]

Am I right? It's RC that works with Darth (last one 1.4B) and DLV 3.2 ?

Ps-as I understood it's compatibile with saves of DLV + Darth 1.4B ?

[Kalle Boll]

Qucik question. I've been using the converted DarthMod by oldguardian:

You use:

*DarthMod (Battle AI + Formations, battle_models converted by oldguardian)

Question: is it with fix4?

wieeeee!

[bandicoot]

I just realized what this is and a huge +Rep for you even before trying it out.

This is like discovering plutonium ...

[Caspand]

I most defently will try this version out, since i dont like darth battle at all, i know its a matter of taste.

To bad the officers are messed up in this minimod. I hope you clear the matter soon Pinko =)

[jedisponge]

Whoever said that you can't recruit units after installing the mod... I forgot to mention that this happens in a saved game. When I loaded up a new campaign it worked fine.

But I still can't figure out why no officers are showing up.
