Short SS Status Report

[King Kong]

Hi all!

First of all, I'm sorry that I hardly reply at the moment, but this week I was away in the "outback" and before that I had to work just too much...

Well, just to inform you a bit about the current SS status:
As some of you may have already assumed there won't be a new patch for SS 4.1 unfortuntely, since I'm too sidetracked by the Kingdoms Expansion in my little free time.
Also I hope (and think actually) that there are no real game-braking bugs in SS 4.1 so a new patch is not really necessarily needed...

Actually I'm working on SS 5.0 since I released the 4.1 patch and now I'm beginning to be very satisfied with the new version.
I'm currently just struggling to eliminate some bugs and I need some time to test.
BTW, I decided that a couple of "beta-testers" could be really useful , so if someone would like to do that, I woul appreciate your pm!

Of course 5.0 will also include almost all interesting kingdoms features and much more interesting stuff and probably there will be a version for the original M2 and one for the Expansion.
So, the current "4.1 Bugs" and "Suggestions" threads and also the other interesting threads that I could follow a bit, are considered for version 5.0, of course...


At this point I wanted to thank again the many great forum mates here, like Quark, Ceasar Clivius, delra, Nerazzurri, OTZ, Chola Kingdom, Byg, Nightbringer, Phoenix, First O'Neill, (just to name a few, the list should be much longer actually) who are willing to help many people with their problems and who generally help greatly to improve Stainless Steel!

Thank you very much for the support and all contributions!

A preview of SS 5.0 will follow very soon...

must leave now again until tomorrow...

Cheers!

[Seleucor]

[IZ-Master]

[TheFirstONeill]

playing tuetonics on Kingdoms at the mo, salivating at the thought of what King Kong could do with these extra features and new tuetonic units. I have the managed to implement the permanent forts if I can help wth anything let me know.

If the map is not planned to be extended, there's hardly any space for Norway, Ireland and Lithuania.

I doubt Templar campaign factions (Jerusalem and Antioch?) can be added, they would be 100 years too early. Same with Teutonic Knights.

Adding unique units (greek fire!) would be fun. And probably can be done easily...

Anyway. I wait for KK to send a beta in. After that I will whine more. :-)

[Armoured Hoplite]

Awesome, thanks for the update KK. I can't wait, your work and time is always very appreciated.

Thank you for everything, I hope all is well.

Adding the Kingdom's units is quite easy to do, so I don't see that being a problem.

As for KoJ and Antioch, I had proposed in another thread that a Crusader State/Kingdom be used to replace the current Templars. That way you can include Templars and Hospitaller units.

[DenniZ]

Good to hear And good to see you give some credit to the A-team here on the forums

Keep up the good work, and thanks again for the excellent mod!

I was just about to say that, in Kingdoms there is a script that replaces or merges factions like in the britannia campaign.

PS: Also pm'd you KK.

Where would this script be found exactly? Interested in taking a look for an idea I have

[Drakkar]

Thanks King K!
i like your mod!
i hope you'll finish testing soon!

Next time you are connected could you give some preview info about SS 5 please ?

Thanks!

[delra]

So after Templars took Jerusalem, they could change into Kingdom of Jerusalem? And if they took Antioch they would be able to turn into Principality of Antioch?

[delra]

Next time he's connected we all lay our dirty hands on SS 5.0 beta! :-)

[Gorrrrrn]

Good news

Can we have a list of mods to be used in SS5.0 please.

KK is busy, but the Beta Testers are working away and sending in thoughts, ideas, bugs, etc. So it's moving along.

[James Cook]

I think that its a vice decision to move it on kingdoms, with all its
glory and game play features.

looking forward to any preview, and the new patch.
