Happy DLV 5.5

[repman]

It's Repman's monthly Patch Day (call me Bill)


Patch 5.5 not save game compatible to all older stuff
- new battle animations (RomanStory, SigniferOne): thanks to Lord_ET
- new historical custom campaign: thanks to Lord_ET
- adapted Battle AI
- rebalanced units attack\defend parameters: thanks to ivanhoex
- added missing texts for aztecs
- added units: Geonese sailors, Templar Sergeant,Byzantine Gunners, Canons of the Holy Sepulcher,Dismounted Halbbruder,Halbbruder, Pronoia Infantry thanks to isilendil
- Byzantium recoloured, new portraits, new officers, reworworked templar and hospitallier orders thanks to isilendil
- changed models\skins for english...thanks to Ornamentum mod thanks to isilendil
- disabled conversion: cities<->castles
- added event : moneylender (yes, no), if player-treasury < 0: gives 20000 florin loan and takes 1000 florin payback each turn for 40 turns (double loan).
- aztecs full playable: buildings, characters
- more texts for events
- fixed mining, irregular building construction stops,
- merchants: replaced the fix 20% Judaism with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25% requirements dependent on market level.
- added population limited recruitement: the player has only a pool of recruitement with a dynamic maximum depending on settlement number and levels. The pool (Factionsize) is filled up by the recruitement of units, their values are accumulated to an unitindex depending on number and level of units. If Unitindex > Factionsize --> Recruitement Freeze. Two popups will inform the player about actual Factionsize and rounded UnitIndex. Thanks to Tsarsies
A timedependent\factionsizedependent refreshrate will reduce the unitindex over time so that the Factionpool can be refilled.
- added event WarDraft: after a Wardeclaration the player is offered a 10 point reduction in the Unitindex for 3000 Florins (or more dependent on factionsize). Accepting will give bad traits

[LlamaD]

lol - i'm still playin' with 5.2 cause of my aar. I guess when i finished it i can download 6.0 relaxed.

[born2dive67]

@repman

been there done that, get like 5mb and filefront always stops on me with out fail, and thats when i am on dial up. on broadband i can get about 15mb and the same thing happens.

with firefox, securitys off, download managers off.

only thing that works for me is the torrent. thats why i posted a torrent help file but noone has posted a link yet

[ivanhoex]

tnx repman!

took me 20 minutes to change my files to be compatible, finally starting a real campaign after so long time!!!

@repman
Did you change the color of the menu? I like it all except the orange lettering. It should be blood red for all the blood I spill in game! Muhaha.

[Valantine]

The Repman machine strikes again!

I've barely had time to play recently although my campaign is going REALLY well - to upgrade or to not upgrade... Hum!
Great work Rep!

Not enough significant changes for me to download it. Put in the new Lithuania mod units and I will.

[Son of Mao]

I am waiting for the next big release, as everytime I download next week a new version comes out and it is the install process of DLV all over again.

[Swiss Halberdier]

That will be a happy week with DLV 5.5

Cheers and thanks for the release!

[Pelican Man]

damnit.

gotta start a new campaign.

To hell with you.

P-MAN


IM SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cyphon88]

Can we get a more detailed breakdown of the last two additions. I don't fully understand it from the changelog info.

[SirPeacemaker]

I am not sure, if this worth it to start a new campaign. Because it seems, there is added practically only the population limit. Aaaand I dont like these restrictions Vivat Isilendil
Edit:

What exactly means this :
A timedependent\factionsizedependent refreshrate will reduce the unitindex over time so that the Factionpool can be refilled??
