Bigger, Huger and Realistic Battles + Speed + Morale mods : V8 (11th January 2011)

[Etimos]

Le sigh...

Nope, did a total reinstall with all the added stuff, real recruitment and Byg3 and all that, and it still crashes, presumably because some of the infantry units have more than 100 units, 101 for baltic spearmen and 103 for lithuanian axemen, for example.

Medieval 2: Total War has encountered an unspecified error and will now exit

I have SS 6.1 installed with updated SSTC RR and Byg3 all updated to the newest version.

The game runs fine until I try to actually have a battle, either on the campaign map or through the custom battle creator. The battle loads about halfway and then crashes.

So how exactly do you make this thing work?

[Etimos]

GRRRR!!! Le sigh x 2. Ok, this MAY be an installation problem after all >.< ugh, I wish these mods were a bit easier to install. It's like Where's Waldo except that waldo is a text document lost somewhere in a game folder.

Ok, gonna reinstall it again, and this time just RR and RC and no other options, and i'll use that version of the mod, but last time i did that it didnt seem to change the unit cards much.

I wouldnt mind using SSTC but I'll try it this way first.

[Etimos]

Ok now, lets try this again. Ive totally reinstalled. I've patched up SSTC and RR and installed and hotfixed Byg3. I ran a custom battle to make sure everything's working, and so far it's all green.

NOW I'm going to try reinstalling this mod, and if it crashes, I'll have eliminated the alternatives.

[Etimos]

Alrighty, got it working excellent mod. its a shame the units cant be bigger.

I just tried a custom battle as lithuania against novgorod, basically my army was one unit of almost everything plus some artillery. I won. Looked pretty sweet. MUCH better than vanilla. I dunno why they made the unit sizes so damn small anyway, except for lower quality computers, but really they should have patched it so you can have them bigger if you want.

Alright, tried it, loved it, but had to uninstall it the morale issue is just no good. Spear Militia retreating with 66 men left in the unit, kinda spoils it. Much as the great big army adds, sadly the game just isnt designed for it. Not your fault, Sega's fault.

Still, +rep for the fine mod If it werent for the morale issue it would be fantastic.

Mind you it's not bad with later professional units. Maybe you should just tweak the militia grade units to give them a bit more morale.

Hi! great you liked it, I'm planning to adapt it for many other submods...in a close future. By now, I've increased more units, corrected some unbalanced ones or some that I forgot to adapt, I'll post it in the 1st post tomorrow!

Well, someone asked in the 2nd post about the morale, it's very easy to upgrade it, but I've to make tests....what would be the amount to increase (x2?,+1?,+2 in some units?) and so on...

Of course, if someone can give me a hint, a general rule or ideas, I'd be pleased to use it

See ya!

1. Yup, I think there's a version without RAJ 1.3

2. I guess, I've not played with BGRIII, if you want, send me the EDU file and I'll change it to make it possible (other people asked too, so it's time to add it to the "collection")

Thanks!

[amaxim666]

ahhh... stupid question... what is EDU files?

[ignasigh]

ahhh... stupid question... what is EDU files?

Export_Descr_Unit.txt file

It's located in the MTW2/mods/SS6/data folder and it details most of the unit details, amount, stats, morale, number of art. pieces...etc...

A very nice way of configuring the mod, easier for mortal-people like me to change something in the gods MTW creation.

[ignasigh]

Version 1.7 is up, see changes in the 1st post.

I'd like to know if in the future releases someone would like the morale increased...I'm keeping this question opened in another thread and I expect to have a "solution" soon.

Any ideas are welcome!

[ignasigh]

SemiFinal (2.0) version is up...as I told in the 1st post, it's a never-ending submod while there are mods still alive...

See 1st post for more details and post your comments!

Doesnt work for me oddly, it works if I just copy it and start but when I change heavy pike militia's owner to england it crashes, I have had them for england before, in EDB and battle_models it's already in there, but when I put england as second owners in your EDU it crashes. Anyone know why?

Oddly....coz the only line that's changed is the soldiers line, not the owner nor the EDB.

Does the log says something about the EDU? Maybe big modder that play with the EDB can tell you something more

I downloaded Capital's version as I have RAJ, maybe that what's messed it up. Can you make one with SSTC and RAJ without RR? I don't want to have to download RR.
