First of all fortify your feeling of safety. Life is changing and it is good. It is just a game and you will not be hurt if you loose some provinces.
Anyway have a good authority and behave like a Christian should. Grow your empire slowly. But it is more interesting if you don't follow the latter instructions. The usual boring conqering game mode doesn't fit in the medieval reality. Treachery is always skipped from the games. It was present in the first edition but CA removed it in the second one. Struggles for the throne were constantly present in the medieval Hungary.
I implement XAI 4 campaign AI and upload the next patch soon where you meet the rebels in very hard level only.
Understandable of course!
I don't know.There are some occasions where the rebels come in and I will change only these.
Maybe to allow rebels to come at hard level when the king has low authority?
Mátyás Hunyadi was maybe the king in the middle ages who should have nearly maximum, perhaps with III.Béla and (after the initial troubles) Károly Róbert.
But even Mátyás had some rebels.
What I see is that a rebellion can pop up if:
- the taxes are continously very high
- religion problems (since we are before reformation, this can pop up if Hungary conquers Wallachia or Galicia (spelling? Halics) and tries to enforce catholicism, or heretics like in 1437)
- war exhaustion
The latter is not really a good idea in Total War games, as the AI refuses peace often. Even if it is a draw for like 20 turns, the AI tries to win...
In the end it always comes down to taxes and long, losing wars.
To be honest, I like it the way it is. Historical and fun, also suits my play style. I don't like big blob countries, so it is good that I can do something when I am done with the initial expansion (Kiev, Zagreb, Sofia)
If you gave detailed tips on how to avoid them (like they can pop up if the king has low authority, in a war for 10 years, and the taxes are very high somewhere), it would be enough.
I found two strange things. A peasant unit on the unit card:
- kálicok (mercenery in hungary)
- kun előkelő (available in starting army for cuman confederacy)
I checked the cuman noble on the battle map and it looked good. (latest release of the mod)
Is it hard to fix?
edit:
what about a 'bloody sword' artifact?
cheaper unit hirings, but a penalty to command

Any Hussars?
Hi, love the look of the units and glad someone finally decided to do CA's work for them and make Hungary playable/enjoyable. Just wanted to know if this is mod foldered or do I need to get rid of my other mods on my main SEGA file or even (heaven forbid) re-install MEII. Thank you.
EDIT: Got it, sorry for wasting your time. She's up and running and looking marvelous.

Succeeded!
Patch 2.14 link: http://www.filefront.com/17333203/Magyar_Mod_214.zip/
It includes every patches after 2.0. You can extract it over the current install but it's not compatible with your saved games.
For a completely new install you need the magyar mod2.zip and after it this patch.
Than the new English patch:
http://www.filefront.com/17333711/English_patch_214.zip
And if you aren't a hardcore history fan the Hungarian unit names in English:
http://www.filefront.com/17333784/En...t_names214.zip
The most important changes there are far less heretics and Hungarian rebels in hard level and below. We suggest very hard level for history fans only.
The patches were not tested. Please report bugs.
Getting the new updates now, I'll let you know if I notice any quirks. Start by playing medium, hard and very hard difficulty's for 50 turns or so each.

For some reason I can get english for everything but the units, unit descriptions and loading screen quotes. Everything extracted fine and I can see the english files in the folder, just not in game.

This is still for 2.13...
What do you think of the moorish presence in iberia?
I had an interesting conversation with a spanish collegue of mine, about the reqonquista lately. And it seems that the Almoravid dynasty (which are the Moors in this game) was invited to Iberia in 1084 by the local Al-andalus taifa's. The almoravid ruler, Yusuf ibm Tashfin defeated a christian army in 1086, left for africa, and later (1090) annexed the muslim states.
He simply exiled the princes and annexed the states, so there were no muslim-muslim wars.
It is hard to represent, but maybe this would work:
- only 2 moorish provinces in Africa
- muslim revolter provinces in south iberia
- 1 muslim army in iberia, where from it can start conquering
also
- a strong army led by Alfonso IV, to capture Toledo by 1085
At the moment AI Portugal and Spain don't really make any steps against a much stronger moorish state...
I know that that part of the map is not in focus of the mod, but maybe you are interested
