Impaired Recruitment a bit much

[brymht]

Gotta say, I love the accuracy, but I think the impaired recruitment is a bit overzealous.

How do I tone this down or get rid of it, and rely on myself to come up with armies which were more or less accurate?

[moosey]

are we talking RR impaired recruitment or BGR impaired recruitment?

for the BGR there is a fix flying about somewhere, it makes the impaired recruitment a little less "zealous" lol

Ugh. Im just getting rid of this mod. Causes WAYYY too many problems ands too buggy.

[Nosocked]

i think its byg, got the same problem

the fix is at the bottom of the first post. i liked the submod, just found it a bit too complicated to play with everytime, its the old realism vs fun thing, lol

what is "impaired recruitment"?

[brymht]

basically means you can only recruit your 2 worst units ever 95% of the time, based on religion not be 90%, not have you factioj leader or faction heir, and so forth.

If there a way to completely remove RR and BGR?

You have to reinstall SS and don't select them when the installer asks you if you want them.

That's a gross over-exaggeration.

dont select those options when installing SS, that worked for me.

Try a different mod, SS isn't for everybody. I tried it for a while, didnt like it, and moved on. Don't get me wrong, its a wonderful mod and its obvious alot of work went into the mod, its just not for everyone.

I suggest trying DLV, KCGM, and LTC if you want a different experience. All the mods have their own flavor, so keep looking around until you find the one for you.

erhm he just doesnt like the limited recruitment which was added through a submod.

[brymht]

Honestly, I think I really like it, but itrs a bit much for some factions; most especially Byzantium. When you take a province as Byzantium, you will typically onyl get a max of 50% of your same religion. Thats just a trick of geography. Its a bit rough on certain levels around that area. Perhaps this is less pronounced in other areas of the map?

As fairly recent convert to Grim Reality and RR, I can understand why some people find the level of micromanegement too complicated. However, playing without them now makes an SS campaign feel way too easy for me!

I have found that the best way to play and immerse myself in the game is just to forget how I used to look at running a campaign. Now, I discard the traditional TW mantra of "world domination": I ignore the SS' victory conditions of 60 or so regions; I now concentrate on survival and retaining and maintaining a viable kingdom/empire.

Try doing that with the Basileia ton Rhomaion, surrounded by enemies as they are. If I can survive and maybe gain some territory by the campaign's end - then so much the better. It's not Total War, but it is total fun!

Please explain how to get thoses advanced units to apear. I'm currently playing the Knights Templar and can't get the better units. I've even had dismounted and mounted Hosp and then lost the right to recruit the next turn. Why?

Read the tutorial in the first post of Byg's Grim Reality mod thread in the submods forum.

nice mod though... you must admit, in my campaign as england i have the same problem BGY or RR is a little bit ironic, why?
1. you cant recruit a lot of your good units so you'll be fighting most of the time with mercenaries with their worst color tones of brown, same as your AI's but they have tons of it-- very interesting since its historically acurate and you'll be taking good care of your knights/armored footunits.. frustrating since sometimes you'll be wondering how the hell did the AI get his good units when you see them in the field.. i have a battle with the irish who migrated in france and just have tons of spear units!!!
2.YOU CAN'T CONQUER AND BLITZ TOO MUCH!!! because if you do your so called zeal drops to abysmal, you can when your king is already at 60s age and hope he dies fast when you have enough of it, many times a want to hire assasins and kill my own king, regineration(sp?)
3. YOUR MONEY/ECONOMY is useless!!!, why? well if you dont like the idea of hiring too much mercenaries like i do you'll be stuck with waiting your best units to pop out so you can hire them worts is, it takes a lot of turns for them to pool out!!!, i have 150000+++ florins and cant do much about it since i dont want to see to many brown soldiers in the field, DISGUSTING!!
4. When they Say you'll risk your army of full stack engaging enemy with equal size.. its damn true, in my game i cant move them since i can see the whole europe with every faction having stack upon stack of their armies, and i loose one army it would take at least 9 turns more for me to recover.. BUMMER!!!
5. YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR GOVERNORS/GENERALS-- these people just cant be trusted

but hey its still good when your history buff, its bad when you play it for fun( no fancy dress here boy..)

anyway kodos to BGY and RR for making such a good Mod though i hope your testers realized how some of us would love to see soldiers in their best battle dress other than brown

im still on my campaign, BGYIII and RR updated, funny how im enjoying it but i do... you see i have occupied the lands of both the irish and scots who migrated to france and near danish lands, destroyed hungary faction since i get mad at them when they raided me every damn turn.. its turn 60 now and i have yet to have a knight in my armies, just hope they tone down the number of turns i can recruit them(9 turns is a bit toooooo looong..) plus... why o why the testers alowed a 70 regions for me to conquer when they knew its hard to control an empire even at this stage of mine at only 19regions!!! thus anyone of them have those regions really when the 300++ turns completed???????


and HEY toNosocked... i hope you wont leave SS 'cuz men i have a very good laugh in all your post especially when you sort of narrate your situations, a little bit rough though when you say about those mods.. been your fan men
