DarthMod: The Last Episode__General Feedback

[Tiberiu_R]

Indeed...Wierd. I know i had a similar bug. I played with England and when i conquered Bruges, i was kicked out no matter what. And it seemed nobody got that CTD, although i was getting it time and time again.
My solution:
A clean reinstall of Med 2 and Darth Mod.
It worked for me, back then, and i think this is the only solution for wierd problems.

[KraLL]

A very annoying bug still exsist

In sieges, "Long Range" trait archers dont shoot except maximun range
when the enemy come closer in medium or close range, they dont shoot, stay iddle despite their icon that shows that they shooting
they look that they trying but something that has to do with the Walls blocks them.
normal range archers that stands next to them shooting at any range although in sieges

this happens at least on the archers that attacking and are outside the walls but i think that it happens in the defending archers on or behind the walls too

please anyone check this in sieges with long range archers and tell me if this happens only to me or it is a bug in general.

I tested with trebizond and guard archers, didnt check it with any "long range" trait unit yet but i think it happens with all.

I have clean install of mtw2 with 1.2 patch and DM 1.4D

thanks

put your archers behind the walls or select targets manually

[KraLL]

Im talking mostly about attacking archers that attack the castle, but anyway even if i click manually or put defending archers behind the wall, nothing happens.

the only thing that help the situation is if I send my "long range" archers back again in the maximum range of the unit i want to hit so they start shooting again.

do you have this problem?

[Thorn]

it has been a long time since i don't play any siege battle.. i'm busy modding...,
but it could be due fire angles being to low..

I use to fire at max range to minimize my casualties.. so i never experienced it

[KraLL]

so can someone give me some directions about how to change the firing angles of these archers? it is hard or you just change some variables in a text file?
please someone help me, thanks

[Thorn]

projectile.txt file, min angle and max angle parameters

Been away from the website for most of the year until recently. I have always downloaded darth mods work and other mods.

I love the new work, the battles are challenging the campaign is challenging and i am fully enjoying a campaign as the portuguese, facing some very new challenges i had not yet experienced in a total war game.

And it felt great to have just managed to overcome these challenges with some good diplomatic negotiations which didnt come easy or cheap.

I downloaded and installed the latest darthmod, but i dont have the new medieval patches installed, can i install the 1.2 and 1.3 patches now? or just better to leave it as is?

The only problems i have noticed is that in campaign when the enemy siege my citadels they are too slow and run out of time. The other problem i noticed i was attacked by about 4 units of spear milita and with one single unit of peasant crossbows i won the battle because they didnt charge my unit with all their units, instead they ran around reforming all day, until i had shot them all and they lost moral and ran, really unfortunate battle.

In large battles i havent this problem and usually the ai coordinates good sound strategy in attacking my armies putting me under pressure, which is good to see.

Thankyou to all the modders who help make this game even more enjoyable for gamers like myself who appreciatte your work so much.
This mod has been the most enjoyable out of all the mods i have played, cannot praise enough the people who made this happen, thankyou.

Thank you tinha.

Darth Mod runs equally well both in 1.2 and 1.3.

The other problem i noticed i was attacked by about 4 units of spear milita and with one single unit of peasant crossbows i won the battle because they didnt charge my unit with all their units, instead they ran around reforming all day, until i had shot them all and they lost moral and ran, really unfortunate battle.

Well it happends...But not too often. These are rare situations. How many times do you go with 1 unit of crossbows and fight 4 enemy units. I don't fight those battles.So this scenario is seldom played.

Thankyou to all the modders who help make this game even more enjoyable for gamers like myself who appreciatte your work so much.

Thanks again. Enjoy Darth Mod!

If I needed to uninstall the Darth Mod, how exactly would I go about that.

[xeryx]

just find the Darth mod folder in your medieval 2 directory, click on it, then press delete.

All I want to say to look at is Scottish Pikeman strengths are ridiculous. Tell me what I can send over ladders or a siege platform against them in a siege action? I tell you: Nothing! It is ridiculous that Pikeman could operate on a parapet of a castle or city. They are also overpowered in battle, and you can attack them from the rear with practically anything and they cope in a way they could not have. They also can turn on a sixpence/dime which in reality they could not! So overall, if you are going to tweak units, tweak Pikemen first!!!!

If I needed to uninstall the Darth Mod, how exactly would I go about that.

Or go to your med 2 root folder and open the Uninstal Darth Mod.exe application!

Hello,

I have been playing campaign with Spain and there are two things that I think are bugs: The first is that I don't have Chivalrich Knights (and I have fully upgraded Citadels, and nothing), and the second is that the gunpowder appeared, for me, in the 1290 AD and while I can train all kinds of cannons, I cannot train Arquebusiers or Musketeers. Has anyone else experienced these kind of problems?

Edit: Nevermind about the arquebusiers and musketeers not appearing. They appeared the next turn of the world event. However, is it normal for such an event to occur in the 1290? Oh, and I'm still without Chivalric Knights, so I'm still in need of help (or at least to report such bug).

And well, hope you can help me and thanks for all your hard work.

@conlad:
recruit_pool "Chivalric Knights" 1 0.3 2 0 requires factions { france, denmark, spain, sicily, }
You can recruit them only if you build the King's Stable. They are considered to be the best cav. So they are at the top. But I now see that Spain does not have too many options when it comes to cav...They can use Feudal Knights from stables...BUT they can train Hospitaliers, Knights of Santiago...

Anyway, if you want you can use the following EDB which I made just for you :
Attachment 6022
I made chivalric knights available from earl's stables(4th level). I hope this will help...If you have other things you wish to point out, feel free and post them

Hi,

I need some help, I have a game that I played for a longtime. But I had to rebuild my system but I stored my whole entire SEGA FOLDER in my 2nd harddrive. I re-installed everything and I looked in there and my games are not there. Do anyone know where darthmods game saves are? They are not on the Saved Folder.

[Tiberiu_R]

The saved games played with DarthMod are in Medieval2\DarthMod\saves

i trained assassins and wiped out the whole byzantium family, priests, general, all except the king. and found out the crash occurs everytime i kill the byzantine king by assassination of fighthing. how do i fix this.

I know there was some talk about siege AI problems earlier, but I just wanted to report another instance...

I'm playing as the Polish and in nearly other every siege battle where the AI assaults my city/castle, and the AI has a clear overwhelming advantage, the AI will clear my walls and push me back towards the center of the city with only a token force remaining...and then stop advancing and sit by the inside of the walls until the timer runs up...this has happened repeated times so I know it's not just a fluke

Thanks, great work on the mod!

[Primvs Sextvs Loverlord]

angry_hussar, sometimes even the vanilla AI does this. That's all I know about the issue.

A graphical glitch I found was that my Normal mercenaries appear skinless (pure white) on the battlefield.
