Will check it out, so far this has never been reported

[Silver Legionary]

That's always happened in any XC version I've played, but I didn't think it was actually a bug. (for starters, it's useful lol)

[Zarax]

I need to see if it's actually solveable... worst case it's pretty minor imho.

[_Suetonius_]

Trying to download the mod again, version 4.1.11, but I get a 404 page not found error when I try it.

[Silver Legionary]

I saw that too, something seems up with the WMWiki XC site, Zarax, you should take a look when you can.
http://www.wmwiki.com/hosted/cv/xcfi...st06042015.exe <- Try that, it's the most current version; it's a bit experimental, but it SHOULD work.

[Suppanut]

If you want XC4, this is the last version of it.

http://www.wmwiki.com/hosted/cv/xcfi..._4%20v1.12.exe

Silver Legionary's link is our alpha experimental version of XC5 which waited for player to give feedback. It is largely bug free (due to we try to so hard to iron them out of system) but artworks still mostly missing and traits system I plan for XC5 still not there (it still using modified vanilla's trait substitute, no ancillaries yet).

[romanum32]

XC 5 is coming or...?

[Zarax]

XC5 is being worked on.
Take into account that we are a very small team with limited time and changes are pretty big so we're a bit slow in development.

That said, we hope it will be worth the wait for you guys

[El_Halcon]

Fantastic mod, Zarax! I've been playing XC4 the last few weeks and loving the changes! Quick question though: when does Bactria emerge/what triggers that? I'm playing as the Ptolemies and after about 50 years, I haven't seen them yet. Based off of AARs I have seen, I know they used to be around from the start of the game, but apparently they do emerge, yes?

Thank you again for all the time you guys put into making my favorite game of all time fresh and exciting!

[Zarax]

They emerge if you use the BI exe and the Seleucids loose Baktra by rebellion, might not happen 100% of times though.

Any chance XC 5 will be done this year?

[romanius24]

It seem that its still in alpha so probably not.
At least we are getting updates to RS2 and EB2 this year so we'll have something.

[directorphleg]

Unfortunately those mods are slightly too taxing for my mediocre laptop but i'll continue to wait patiently.

[Zarax]

Any chance XC 5 will be done this year?

Unfortunately not, development slowed down as I recently got married and Suppanut is finishing his PHD, we might be able to post at least an update though.

Ah, thanks for letting me know and congratulations.

[romanius24]

Do you happen to know the numbers for AI bonuses from the installer? I want to know exactly what they get.

[Zarax]

Straight from the installer: values on top are with normal bonuses, 2nd set is reduced ones.

Development is slowly going on, in the meantime I've tried to remaster one of the less popular XC5 features, the main menu music: http://www.wmwiki.com/hosted/cv/xcfiles/testxc2.mp3
Let me know if you find this more pleasant to the ears.

[Kleomenis]

I like both of them. This one probably sounds less aggressive!

[Zarax]

Glad someone liked the old theme
