QuickFix (24th Mai 2012)
There has been a repeated bug in the Protestant Union end of round processing of characters. Extract the attached file into the mods\1648\data folder - save game compatible. For more details see here.
A missing entry in historic_events causes the game to crash in round 169 (Feb 1632). Extract the attached file into the mods\1648\data\text folder - save game compatible
Different sized unit cards were causing a interface breakdown. Extract the attached file into the mods\1648\data\ui folder.
It appears that there is a problem with the animation of destroyed (new) walls. We are working on it and suggest that in the meantime you delete\rename this folder if you experience a crash when destroying walls: ...\1648\data\settlements\north_european\settlements\large_city
General Information To start of with: this mod will be published in German first. Translation is being done bu tmay take some time. The mod 1648 is settled in the period 1618-1648 of the wars in Central Europe better known als the '30 years war'. The battlefields of this conflict are all located in the area of the Holy Roman Empire, therefore the map encompasses it's dominion and the directly neighboring areas (Copenhagen-Udine / Reims-Riga). The level of detail is guaranteed through 198 provinces and 24 factions. The pivotal aspect of the mod will be the struggle of the Kaiser with the counter reformation; protestant leaders being his main adversaries. Foreign powers enter the game as spawning factions like Siebenbürgen or as invaders like Sweden and France. Poland-Lithuania (the Western areas), Denmark, Swiss Union and the United Netherlands have their part on the map as well, although their influence in the beginning will be more passiv. The eighty years war between the Netherlands and Spanish Habsburg will also play a role in the overall war of that period.
The mod has followed new paths to make the game experience more intensive: new music and sounds, new textures, new units, new animations, new stratmap elements and more.
