SWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTT.

am looking forward to having tea with Genghis and the boys ... I really wasn't into my Spanish campaign anyway.

[Leonnidas]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...


Now that I finaly was winning...

BTW, great work, keep it up

[Furin]

Excuse me, I just noticed that you mention the gunpowder event twice in the update description, both at 1270 and 1290, but as far as I can tell from updating my minimod, there is only one event with one date.

[bandicoot]

The 1290 event is for automatic weapons, methinks.

[meowmers]

about to reinstall...do i still need the art & voice fix? will Extra moves & Crusade/Jihad targets still work?

[Furin]

The 1290 event is for automatic weapons, methinks.

I had to look through the files when updating my gunpowder minimod and found but 1 universal gunpowder event. Same goes for edb.

Another question please, were any changes made to descr_campaign_db.xml with 03?

And last but not least, why does "Guy de Lusignan" start with Offensive_To_Nobles 1? He isn't even king yet. Some historical reason I am unaware of?

I wondered the same thing ... he also is listed as REGENT while there is a king ...

I suppose it is a quirk of how the family tree works, but this is another faction where there are starting generals that don't appear anywhere on the family tree (Spain being the other one I've noticed).

[Leonnidas]

Portugal aswell but with bf2.0

I think it's not mandatory to be in the family tree, just imagine he isn't married with a princess and was not from the family just a noble...

[Tormentor12]

omg, amazing modding guys... I bow in your honor.
The Updates of the 4.0 makes it even more interesting that it was at 3.2 keep it up guys

[Rog]

Some feedback, if you don´t mind...

I´m still into my 4.0.2 campaign with Hungary...the best I had so far with M2TW. Very stable, coherent... I´m pleased.

I must admit I got lucky, the knights templar came very early to Buda, the only decent infantry I had in the first 100 turns...without them I wouldn´t managed to survive. (Is this event intentional to help the hungarian player out? :-) Then a heroic struggle began with the Byzantines, I could barely afford a decent army, but then a winning combo of templars, bulgarian brigands (i´m using Pinko´s mod where archers are weak, but this guys are like MGs) and magyar cavalry gave me an edge... and then something happened and the Byzantine empire falls apart... Now I´m really winning. Sorry, I know its not a place for AARs, but... I´m really exited.

The best mod I ever played. Thanks a lot!

Regards

Rog

Very odd! after I installed the bug fixer 3, I only sucessfully enter DLV once. For the others I got CTD back to destop. Now I can't play DLV any more...

[gfortune]

In relation to the Kingdom of Jerusalem faction, I was the one who put these traits in the file that is now used by Repman. Some may think the traits section was overdone, but I was following the historical aspects for the family and the known settlement generals for that time. Prince Guy was not popular with the local native nobility, (generals) perceived as an outsider when he married Sibelle. He was given the regency in 1180 during the King's incapacitations, as well as made the heir at that time.

[Lord Rahl]

Damn! I can't finish my HRE campaign! Now I've got to play a better DLV? Looking forward to it my friends.

[Davalord]

Great stuff, playing as the Irish and have a great time
Thank you so much for this nice update.

[Tilarium]

Curious if any of the new Kingdom stuff is going to get added in. Thanks!

I was thinking this bug report maybe better fits in this thread instead of the 4.0 one.

Missing Mailed Knights Tga for elo with bf 0.3

Everyone can fix this easily for himself by copying "#dismounted_mailed_knights.tga" from :\MTW2\DLV_ext\data\UI\units\england to :\MTW2\DLV_ext\data\UI\units\elo.

Edit :Same for unit_info folder, but this time copy dismounted_mailed_knights_info.tga over from the England folder... (sorry I only found this by accident as I rarely right click the info any more)

Also I got a CTD with no specific error msg in the logfile when trying to upgrade a unit of dismounted crusader knights in the new elo castle next to jerusalem with a base tier lvl swordsmith guild playing elo.

Edit 2: Turned on trace and got these lines related to crusader merc troops, perhaps this helps?

Edit2: Abrocomos has traced the problem down to a missing Karak_Province region in descr_mercs.

[scivian]

I wanted to add bug fixer 3 to my current campaign with bug fixer 2. Will someone tell me what files to leave out to make it save game compatible. Thanks

[Harry Lime]

@Scivian

This is a very complicated request. I'm not going to suggest anything as it will probably end in a screwed-up campaign. Cant you just finish your current campaign or update to _03?

[scivian]

Oh, I was hoping it would be as simple as to just leave out 2 or 3 files. Thanks

[bandicoot]

just noticed (or I think I did) that in the merc recruitment text file the Province of al Karak is not associated with any mercenary recruitment pool.
