Feedback regarding 5.3

[repman]

I would like to hear some detailed feedback regarding 5.3

1. Are the campaign turns faster in later campaign than in 5.2 ?
2. Do you like the new interactive events. Are effects enough (delicta ..we want no supergenerals for the player), the price for them ok ?
3.Do you want some more ...not to many ?
4. I can make the static events of 5.2 although more interactive.
5. Are the mongols now more aggressive than in 5.2 ?
6. anything else...(please here no bug reporting) ?

thanks

1) I got a quad core and 8800gtx 750mb so my turns are fast at it is but i do notice some improvement

2) The effects are nice and the price is ok but at first they re a money sucker and thats when u need all the money u can get. If u said yes your money ran out too fast and if u said no your generals will suffer great consequence. (Also i notice some of the 2k events actually cost 1k ^^)

3) Well I don't know how it can work on Deus but this is more of a suggestion, Making 3 choice events , a good , a bad and a neutral choice, all having good and bad consequence and neutral having less effect on both good and bad effects , I do love them so, some more would be fine but only allowing like 1 per turn ^^ it kind of sucks ur money away when u get like 3 to 4 at one turn ^^ plus saying no make ur general angry

4) I don't know what events u mean

5) Haven t gotten there yet

6) Will there be cake ?

Feedback:

Pro:
-Yes turns are faster

-Very good battle AI and gameplay

-Very fast conquer AI vs rebels, Ai is a beast.
-New events are beautiful and add money penalty to player, perfect.
-New buildings of Isel mod pack are good.
-Campaign is stable.

Cons:

-I notice in 5.3 that fallenII or III trait continuos spawn on my char. is normal?
-Reduce a bit the % of new events.

for now is all.
Good work rep.

Oh ya i should mention that Character fall ills like every 4 turns or so , maybe for accepting events? and market trigger idk if this a bug but , i get like

Yes, i believe that the "fallen ill"

trait is gained from the hunting events. And I also think that they should be decreased or perhaps add another trait such as "hunting accident" or something along that line.

But great job DLV team!

[igotballsofsteel]

im usually playing SS or BC but i decided to give a shot to DLV ...

Starting as the papal i played around 40 turn an saved my game ..next day tried to load my campaign but something was rong each time i tried i got a CTD ... so i decided to try as the teuton after around 20 turn lithuany decided to attack me .. each time i tried to play that fight i got CTD again ...

Another thing is whit the garrison in city/castle u still pay for your unit even wen garrisoned ??

[Aposteles]

it is better, faster and I do like it. I am allied with the mongols so I have not seen their aggression.

I do however feel that the events with the hunts etc come a bit too often. If there are more variation on the events then I think it is good, else it is a bit too repetetive. I do like the consept still. Playing Georgia now and I do like it a lot.

Thanks Repman.

[Xtiaan72]

Playing Kingdom of Jerusalem and having a blast.

I have to agree with Aposteles, The new Kingdom events are spawning almost every turn sometimes two or three at a time.Tremendous drain on economy, especially at the beginning. Also 3 to 4 family members getting ill every time an event is accepted. But the events themselves are really cool. They just need some fine-tuning.

The market events also seem a bit buggier then other versions. They are popping up every turn and behaving in an erratic manner.

The mod itself is getting better and better and better. It's like a whole new game now and what MTWII should have been.

Hmm I typed a long post, then I realised it was unfair and prejudiced by my bad day at work.

So, yeah, I like the changes, altho I think some tighter quality control on the events would help a lot.

+rep to Gubbs for his honesty!...and not flaming the DLV staff due to his boss flaming him!

[bleedinblue]

I absolutely loved DLV 5.2 but quit playing because of the long waits between turns and when starting battles. If what I'm reading here is true then I'll be redownloading/installing this tonite

[Lulina]

1. yes
2. yes
3. yes
4. do it
5. No (i'm playing for Georgia and in the year 1215 Mongols have 2 regions...they are aggressive as mine granny)

[Adam the VIth]

Yes to most questions, new computer, so speed hard to gauge.

I also agree that the events are excellent, but coming too frequently. They add period flavor, but too many becomes annoying. I like Odie's idea that their cost could increase, perhaps in relation to how many provinces, or family members you have.

Reducing frequency though, of all "random events": markets, mines, hunts, etc.

I'd like to see if I can adjust to a different frequency....what file is that in....sorry, not an ace modder!

I have 2 gb ddr 800, x2 4000+ and it is about 2-2.5 times faster than it was on a p4 3ghz with 1gb ddr 400.

A turn takes about 2 mins now, as before it was closer to 5.

Dunno if that helps ..

Even though the game only utilises a single core and still chugs now and then on my HD3850! Its just old school ..

EDIT: Just tried Rome Total War and it was well choppy.

My system is not top notch, but pretty stocked:
4 GB RAM, CORE duo 3 GHZ, GForce 8800T

Processes turns in less than a minute -- my old system was like 8 minutes.
