Thanks legio_XX

I like your mod a lot but I have some few complaints anyway:

1) some of the region names sound really silly to me - e.g., 3 regions in greece are called sth like "achaia, achaea, achaiae" or so. Same in Gaul: Lugduniensis 1, 2, 3 or so. Also, sometimes the underscore is still there, e.g.: veneti_regio(n) (?).

2) There is an annoying battle map bug for me: in some battles (maybe only in the delamtian/illyrian lands, forgot) there are lots of "weird obstacles" on the map which confuse the pathing AI. Those obstacles turn when you turn the screen and they look like rocks or the top of trees, really weird and disturbing...

Not sure about the the bug...is it a graphics card issue?

Will change those regions and underscores...I'm sometimes a bit slow lol
thanks Oceanus

[Legio]

Looks excellent Rio.
Will you have to have BRG I installed or is this stand-alone?

Hi Rio,
Great to hear that a new BRG is in the works. Thanks for all of the hard work. I still have not been able to get Patch III to work. At this point, it seems like I should wait until BRG II is released instead of trying to fix it. BTW, how about a hypothetical campaign where Belisarius accepts the Western crown from the Goths and takes on Justinian?
Good work!

Maybe if someone ported it to Rome 1.5 and made accepting the crown the same as attacking the Senate.:hmmm:

Very intriguing idea!

Thanks Lioneljoe

:hmmm:Why the patch not working for ya??
Is it the correct patch one is for the mod switcher and the other is for rar non mod switcher. is it going into ur files correctly?

I currently am testing and tweaking some balancing issues. I need to redo the new Sassanid buildings. The alternate factions are pretty much done. Up tempo the game econ a bit made the smaller factions a bit more playable Hoping The AI Burgundians and the Alemanni will slow the AI Franks down a little. It appears to have with the testing.

[Lioneljoe]

Getting someone to slow down the Franks is a good idea. They usually swallow up the West Roman Rebels quickly leaving me to face a monstrous Frankish empire to my north and west. I don't have the technical expertise to build a Belisarious vs Justinian campaign but I can propose starting conditions that somone else can build on.

there is a Justinian mod by Narses that can be played with this mod. Also Age of Darkness Mod is covering that period. Maybe when that one is completed a campaign of such could be made

Rio, not to pester you, but I have NEVER gotten your quite entrancing mod to work, even with the RaR (don't quite understand your directions, aren't really clear to me). So I ask you this: Will the Modswitch work on BRG II if the old one didn't? I really want to try your mod, but I cannot get it to work. So, just asking.

Well, okay then! Will try again. Thanks.

[Riothamus]

Finished up testing the alternative factions. All is well...Just want too add another unique unit for the Gepids and Thuringia. The Suebi are playable for when the player wants to play the mod in its original form. Each alternative faction will be a separate quick install from the options folder.

To play the mod in its original form the original files need to be installed again from the options folder. The Alternate factions only pertain to the 463AD campaign and not the 434AD Campaign thus, the original files need to be installed.

Also re edited the Dalmatia coast widening the territory with the Rebel Marcellinus controling Solona with a very powerful rebel army, Hunnic Horse Archers and a large navy.

Ave Riothamus,
need help for testing ...?
By the way BRG II will have 463Ad and 434AD Campaign.
To play Gepids and Thuringians there will be a file in the options folder (as the actual scripts to chose which camapign to play) for the 463AD only for both factions?
To play Sueby the original files have to be installed again by a file to execute in the options folder and for both 463AD and 434AD campaigns?

Forgive me, but it's Monday and here it's heavy raining ...


ayeaye Riothamus
