I really like 4.1 so far...

[Armoured Hoplite]

I am really enjoying the changes in 4.1 so far, can't wait to get deeper into the game. Balance seems very good so far from testing. Battlefield assasins and Hashishim with 2 hp's is much better . Hungarian dismounted chivalric knights are back (and are very good with RC balance changes, they finally beat dismounted feudal knights as they should).

I really like the new England skins, they look awesome. They were re-skinned right, or at least some (didn't have time to check too many units)? Are these skins from the "England redressed" mod?

Laca's Byzantine Guard Pikemen unit is superb.

Big list of bug fixes.

Even my CTD with fully upgraded armor Knights Templar is gone.

Anyway, outstanding work KK and others. Can't say Thank You enough.

...now get to work on skinning the rest of Hungary's units (just kidding).

I know, it's truly phenominal (is that the spelling?). Anyway really nice.

And did anyone get enhanced performance in the campaign map? Before 4.1 I lagged at the Russian steppes but now I can look around there smoothly.

Thanks oh great King Kong.

[Space Wolves]

wait, is the supply thingy still there?

waiting whether to get his mod or not again

[Caesar Clivus]

Yes the supply system is still included.

[spetsnaz24]

don't worry, Byg explained in one of these forums on how to easily turn it off

can't find the link atm, but it only takes 5 minutes or so to disable the supply system

KK turned some of the more frustrating and harsh traits like overconfidence and Reputaion destroyed in 4.1 off and he probably tweaked the supplies also.

[HaveFallen]

Why don't you gys like it anyway? It adds great gameplay. It's not even hard. Ahh but it's your opinion so ahh.

Agreed

I like Lusteds Ai, but prefer Darths formations, but I can do that myself. As to supplies, I think its a great idea, it keeps you thinking about your army and how to attack you 'neighbours'. The negative traits subtract from the fun, I agree, but thats because they are based on buildings and are not character flaws, which some generals had. I would not mind if every one of my generals had ONE flaw, its the ever progressive list that bugs me.

Anyway off to enjoy my Byzantium campaign, a beer, a toast to KK and some fun.

[Daergar]

Love it so far, playing the byz "for real" for the first time (been saving it for 4.1). Even giving 1.5 turns a go instead of my normal 0.5. No bugs, no crashes, maybe 15 turns into the game so far. Removed all the byg stuff from the traits and roughly doubled the movement points for everything on the campaign map since I never grasped the notion of an army walking a few miles in 18 months.

Also, I was pleasantly surprised that I could patch 4.0 to 4.1 despite all the crazy modifications I, and I'm sure a lot of us, put into and over 4.0. Not a hitch so far.

Aggressive AI once more (yay) and Lusted's battle AI looks good. I particularly enjoy the battle map movement speed increase, forgot how much better it was. My mighty warriors are finally running instead of trotting half-heartedly.

Edit: And oh, I presume some of us dislike byg's traits because they're simply not fun. The idea of supplies is great, I just detest the negative traits part of it all. The AI never stands a chance regardless of how many arbitrary restrictions we implement, and thus I prefer to have "cool" generals and enjoy seeing lots of stars and nifty traits instead of a scurvily, overconfident :wub: flopping about in his own alcohol-induced vomit while blabbering incoherently about evil muslims under the cot.

[Hounf of Culan]

I do like the whole foraging thing for supplies thing but just the negative traits that always happened were annoying to me. But I do like how it helps to curb galactic expansion by the player, and it also just adds a little touch of realism.

[Fridericus Rex]

I like to switch-off the "supplies" any suggestions - on how? Nothing else.

Thanks.

i actually posted my character_traits file in the other 4.1 discussion thread, i think it was the list included or something.. look for it there.

anways, armored hoplite, byzantine guard pikemen is not Laca's.. LAca's unit is called Byzantine Heavy Spearmen, which KK missed to include, i added myself manually so, lol.
lol, i'm glad the overconfidence, destroyed reputation and supply things are gone, good riddance, lol, it's just my opinion to keep things simple. Complicated gaming is not fun.

[Fridericus Rex]

Mike - can you please be a little more specific.
There are 4 stickies: 4.1 Bugs, 4.1 FAQ, Stainless Steel Release, New Patch Release.
And multiple individual threads. Quark has one for 4.0; other publish their little changes it gets very confusing here.

Mike is never specific.

I'm confused (not a big surprise I know but...), but that is Laca's work with the Guard spear/pike unit right? It has unique face textures that look exactly like those in Laca's thread. Other than a naming issue, it is still Laca's work right? If not who made it?

Well it looks identical to me to the LAca heavy spearman unit used in the PDER mod.

Thanks for doing that file Mike. It's good to be back in the groove again and be enjoying a SS campaign without getting stressed out - lol.

Ahh now if we had those greek flamethrowers Laca was working on....Ohh yaaaahhh....

Those guys look amazing, they will definitely be one of the best units to be put in any mod.
