I won't be here over the weekend - I'm going off to visit Pompeii

Can I come ?
Have you seen my thread about Pompeii http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post10615271

[Caligula Caesar]

Nice sight! Pompeii was great, and much larger than I expected, considering it wasn't a very large town by Roman standards (imagine how big Rome must have been!). It was amazing how well-preserved some of the wall paintings were, and walking in the amphitheatre and the forum was pretty cool as well. I can show some pics, if you want.

In other news, I'll soon have finished sorting out the VII Patch, which will be out very soon, so I'll be able to sort out getting out a patch for this mod soon (RL provided - December tends to be busy, and I might have university interviews and stuff...)

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

Would love to see some pics, Pompeii on my list of places to go.
As for the mod news great, I have always wanted a mod where you can play as Seleukids, and have Mauryans, Ptolemies, Pergamun, and Baktria to contend with, not to mention all the others. There are usually several missing

If you want to virtually visit Pompeii: Google Street View includes some portions of Pompeii!

(Pompeii is the upper half. Just drag the street view 'doll' onto a road in Pompeii and explore !

Hey I have FO with patch 1 and first, it can't save ! Second, half of the settlements on stratmap when you click "show settlement details"/the scroll/ - it crashes ?! Any ideas ?

[Caligula Caesar]

I've been working on sorting out the recruitment, and I'm confident that I'll soon have it up and running - I have the AoR groupings sorted out, and most of the hidden resources are in place. It won't be perfect, since many units still have to be balanced, and certain parts of the balancing affect which units can be recruited (the same mechanics that affect reforms, except these are applied to allow the recruitment of factional units), so it'll only work properly for the factions which have been balanced, but it's a start

Cool this mod has one of the best 3D settlements and I am looking forward to put them into action.

[Caligula Caesar]

I've just finished putting all the units into the starting lineups, which is certainly a good start

[Caligula Caesar]

The good news is that I can start coding in recruitment now, and it really shouldn't take long. However, the bad news is that I keep encountering a CTD in the first few turns on the rebel turn. I'll have to hunt it down, I guess. I don't think it was there in the last patch, so I should be able to find it.

[Dracula]

Good news indeed

[Caligula Caesar]

The problem is, I have (important!) exams starting in three weeks time, so I am unlikely to find too much time to mod for a while...

[atheniandp]

School is more important.. I'm in the same boat. Good luck, and I look forward to updates!

[Caligula Caesar]

Thanks

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

Good luck with exams

[Caligula Caesar]

Thanks First one is next Wednesday...

[tomySVK]

Good luck with your exams

[Caligula Caesar]

Thanks... I can't say the Maths exam today went brilliant, but it was ok. German and English last week were also fine, and I am hoping for a good mark from the English one, but I think I need to do well in History and Economics later this week...

[tomySVK]

It seems you have very vast academic program.

[Caligula Caesar]

Broad, certainly... Often not so in-depth, though. That does vary from teacher to teacher, as well.
