Important : Patch DLV_62
[Spoiler]
It only works if you have Kingdoms_Patch 1.5 installed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
- DLV 6.0 necessary (clean, unchanged) Changelog Patch 6.2 (not save compatible to 6.1 or betas)
- thanks to geomod tool from sinople i fixed errors regarding map, names,...
- included Text Overhaul Mod v0.85 Beta from Shaxx
- fixed the 6.2 openbeta 02 crashes and missing stuff
- included Grimblade little fixes 0.5: except the castle dungeons
- Archaon's Loyal Allies: alliances can only be broken by diplomacy, provocative cold war tactics, multiple alliance break chain reactions etc.
- Tokus Maximus Graphik
- added new decision at game start regarding faction relations: standard DLV relations (example France dislikes england,...) or all starting faction relations are neutral
- economic system: reduced the crash (total loss) probability of your depot, reduced the probalitiy of negative economic events
- new grass+flowers: thanks to davide.cool
- added newest Taijis battle 21\08\2009 optimizations: CBUR, Rusichi Units, balancing, (i have not included some special edb stuff and some other...), Germanicus5 battle scripts,...
- thanks to the CBUR Team (AnthoniusII,...) and Rusichi Team for their excellent units
- inflation : fieldcosts will double\triple similar to settlement costs if higher inflationlevels (> 50000, > 100000) are reached, new inflation popups in financial overview screen
- added gfortune jerusalaem addon for historical campaign: except Acre
- fixed hedjaz stuff: thanks to BamaToon
- added unitcards 1.5: thanks to Agis Tournas (practically his minimod compilation except the grimblade stuff...needs more investigation from my side)
- middle eastern event pics: thanks to JJN
- updated warhorns: thanks to Brips
- economic system: now you can get a total crown_duty (tax on nobles: Idea from Crusader Kings game) dependent on the rank level of your nobles: this means tax money for the king from each Knight (500), Banneret (1000), Commander (1500), Grand Cross (2000).
You can decide in the finance overview screen to have it or not for each turn. Crown duty reduces happiness of your nobles each turn.
In reality during the middle ages most of the nobles were tax exempt but there existed sometimes a scutage system or you can imagine a tribut to the king.

That is good news indeed. He has been working hard and deserves it.
I would add that to the list of new features because it's really going to throw people who have not been playing with BB...
You haven't tried it so I'll explain.....
The town square of settlements is turned off. You can no longer take a town by rushing units into the square and timing it out.... You have to slug it out.

It all looks great to me, thanks very much for including my work
I can understand leaving out the AI recruit stuff, it's still WIP and I'm not quite sure what will happen in the late game. I am certain that it is working but not really certain of the full effect yet.
Changelog Openbeta Patch 6.2 (includes Patch 6.1)
- added new decision of starting faction relations: standard DLV or none.
I think your point, is to ease the harsh diplomacy. It can be pretty hard after 25-40 turns in both campaigns(6.1). I would also suggest something in the line of:
Historical Campaign:Non-brakeable alliances without a diplomat or (none/standard DLV)
I really suggest this to be implemented for Historical campaign. To specificly create better relations with: Teutonic/Germany, Scottland/France, Teutonic O/Crusader. In 6.1, these close, ally nations, have a great tendency to bump into eachother from the begining. I have not jet got around to test it myself, but Philippus have:

Superb! There are alot of good stuff in there that blows ya right of.
So "building effects" is the Wall recruitement?
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
About the wall recruitement: The armys them-self are excellent buildt up. Greatly divided range, spearmen, and horses over time, and diffrent models for each faction. Germany have more spears, while spain will more have javelins. And you dont get the peasant archers armys in gunpowder age no more
Constructive critisism: It can be toned down abit, because they have a tendency to steam roll with many stacks, specially if you are fighting on several fronts.

Ok, so if I read clear: If I reach more money = higher field cost?:
Less then 50k = normal
More then 50k = high(doubble)
More then 100k = extrme(tripple).
Im confused, but it sound cool no matter what I know now.

Im really looking forward to this! I remember BamaToon had some issue's. Might have been some thing else.
EDIT: Additional suggestion regarding; - Wardraft (this is from the polluted thread, feedback for 6.1)

Example: I belive this should be changed with a popup that tells you that HRR attcks you, b/c you have violated some sort of medieval agreement, or several agreements over the years etc. Might even be something unimportent as "This is the last time you lay your hand on my familiy! This is War!". Some thing or issues that was commen in the middel ages. Then you can also click on the recruitement screen(the same as Used military-points button) And a popup with wardraft comes up.
This time it's optionel whenever the player feel like he is in a tight spot.
Opening up the Cavalry recruitement restrictions(for 10 turns) might also be a good Idea.

I would like to add something to it:
War draft event fires off and stays active for the duration of the war draft period.
Add a second line for every unit recruitment entry in edb which requires war draft event to be active.
Halve the pool recharge rate for units while setting the war draft activated pool recharge to the same amount.
The length of the war draft period could depend on faction population size in relation to number of settlements as densely populated citys might sustain more combat. Also wealth, happiness, combined levels of certain buildings like barracks, banks, mayors office, etc. and leader traits like excessive chiv or dread and high authority could also come into play. Basically it would be nice to be able to manipulate the war draft in some way.
The result would be that in order to produce troops at the same speed we are producing them now we would need to activate the war draft. It would make it so that refusing the war draft in times of war could cause serious problems. I think that this raised importance of using the war draft combined with being able to manipulate it's length and various effects would add something really interesting.

Crimson Tide 4.2
I have had report of "bad blood" on the current version of CT in 6.1 bug thread. Maybe its time to update. I don't got a computer to compare the files(see quote below), but the results can be over the top, from what i hear
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Installation:
Point the installer at the /data folder of the mod of your choice.
Compatability:
should be completley compatible with most mods, Crimson Tide 4 alters a few files
other than the textures in order to get the best effect. These files are as follows:
descr_geography_new.db
descr_effect_impacts.txt
descr_flaming_projectiles.txt
descr_particle.txt
and then of course the overlay textures
i did a campaign battle this time. The same think some of the blood on the clothing appears to be like vanilla med2.(fogy light patches is the best way I can describe it).Some blood looks like the new and improved DLV blood.
Is it meant to show both??
any help would be apreaciated

Just letting you know as I said I would once I figured it out.
BTW did you or any body who reads this have the problem with the blood??
A lot of the time it would appear patchy and fogy on the clothing like vanilla med2.
Not thick and dripping like Crimson Tide miny mod.

Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

This is the only forum I visit with any sort of frequency and I'm glad it has provided a home for RTR since its own forum went down in 2007. Hopefully my donation along with others from TWC users will help get the site back to its speedy heyday, which will certainly aid us in our endeavor to produce a full conversion mod Rome2.
It seems that 6.2 will be a major hit!
As for the unit cards, the latest version is v.11 and the completed factions are the following:
- Byzantium [complete from version v.01]
- Armenia [v.08]
- all mercenaries [v.09]
- ELO [Kingdom of Jerusalem] [v.10]
- Flanders [v.11]
Feel free to use any version you like...
Cheers
Agis

A mini-mod is never late! Nor is it ever early. It arrives precisely when I mean it to do! Son of Agisilaos / Grandson of jimkatalanos / Great-grandson of Garbarsardar
B-W, the question I see with this unbreakable alliance thing is will the AI ever break an alliance? If not then I think it sucks... the player can break them but the AI will not. I've never had an AI faction declare war on me before attacking, so I wonder if it is possible.
If Repman see something "america"-ish in the mini-mod section, then I would belive it gets improved.
Just look at the little things BamaToon did; BANG, now it's in.
*hint, hint*

Personally, I am hoping that DLV will go the route of DLV Europa, and do away with the Americas. Eliminating the Azteks and Native Americans will free up slots better used by European, African or Asian factions, such as a Muslim faction or the Pagan Prussians.

Seconding this. DLV Europa had probably the best map I have yet seen of a Medieval Era Mod.
In my opinion the Americas add Zero to the game, whereas the extra cities and provinces add immensely to the depth of gameplay when in Europe/Asia Minor.
You might run it, but it is labeled as, "No". Because of all the new scripts.

You mean; 6.2 Teutonic, 6.2 Britannia, 6.2 Americas, instead of the older versions. Well since he has not brought it up, no I doubt it. 2nd, From what I know, Derdrakken worked on that project.
The most updated version would be the stand-alone Lithuania mod Baltic crusades. It uses DLV-Teutonic campaign, but it has ALOT of new stuff to it. I heard they are currently working on a new danish/polish roster.

You are absolutely correct..... The 1+ Gov points for Treasury kicks in at 50,000. It's actually a good compromise.. That script is working perfectly...
Patch 6.2 is out... play !
