[Update 2019/08/11 V 5.6!] The Historical Units Region Buildings Mod! (6 New Factions/ Units/ Map / Buildings)

[Smokey Bacon]

Made a start looking for spelling errors but it's began to hurt my eyes.

I'm gonna try and do quick playthroughs with all the factions you've changed over the next few days and I'll provide a list of any bugs I find.

[PerXX]

From my new Danish Campaign, I've noticed that the Viking Bondi have no picture in their unit description, but instead use the Rome Peasant one.
Also, the Pope seem to hate everyone. All but 4-5 catholic factions have 2 or less Papal Favor. Even their allies, the Crusader States have zero Papal Favor!
I have a single cross myself, despite paying him 200 florins every single turn.

[RollingWave]

Bondi : ... hmm i thought i added it... guess i'll need to check again

Pope : i didn't touch anything that should have that effect.

[PerXX]

A few other things:
The first is probably not tied to your mod, but rather the 'kids come at age, aged 5' mod. My Capitol came under siege, while my king and a child were in the town. I was unable to sally forth, even when the kid wasn't selected. As said, probably not related to your mod.

Another thing - am I really supposed to be able to recruit Dismounted Feudal Knights from a Castle every second turn?

Most importantly though; I'm really enjoying the campaign so far! Struggling to keep up with Norway, to whom I've already lost Skara twice. The new rosters do seem fresh and new. Well done!

[RollingWave]

First one : yes that is the live long and prosper mod issue, because it's not suppose to have the kids move it ends up having problem when you get sieged while the kids is there. not much you can do about that. can be quite annoying sometimes, luckily the AI now tends to always assault sooner or later.

Feudal knights: i'll check, could be me accidently forgetting a 0, (like 0.5 instead of 0.05)

yeah, I was struggling badly with my Lithuanian Campaign a well, seems the AI is more aggressive when it has more stuff to work with. though it's siege mechanics could use some improvement (but of course if it really does improve i think some campaigns on VH/VH would be virtually impossible )

In the future i probably need to better balance the whole replenish rate , but right now probably focus more on finding all the bugs and getting the different competible versions out.

Sounds likely. The mounted ones are fine, but the Dismounted ones seem rather abundant. This does make fighting Norway that much harder, since half their stacks are DFK's. I can't afford anything near that number.

Yeah. I'm just posting everything I find. Information never hurts


Edit. Yeah, found this:
recruit_pool "Dismounted Feudal Knights" 1 0.1 1 0 requires factions { spain, aragon, portugal, papal_states, france, hre, } and not event_counter TRANSITIONAL_ARMOR 1
recruit_pool "Dismounted Feudal Knights" 1 0.66 1 0 requires factions { jerusalem, milan, venice, hungary, norway, denmark, } and not event_counter TRANSITIONAL_ARMOR 1

Should be 0.066, right?

[RollingWave]

yes, it should be 0.066 ... my bad there... I think I get why i was getting killed in my Lithuanian campaign now..... (i'm holding back the HRE and Russians fine... but then both Norway and Denmark landed with huge stacks of DFK .....)

[Silver Legionary]

I'm getting a REALLY weird glitch playing as the Moors.

A few turns into the game, after a few FM adoptions, said FMs have A CLONE
that is the exact same stats, traits, etc. as the original.
Never had this happen before, and after I exit the campaign map upon seeing this,
I can't load that particular save-game anymore; it just CTDs.

Any ideas on what could be causing this?

EDIT: RollingWave, why do you have one of the Moorish garrisons in the descr_strat
as "sub_faction spain"? That might be what's causing my problem; I removed that part, lets
see if it works now.
EDIT2: Nevermind, I checked the campaign.db, and the minimum age of adoption was BELOW
the age of manhood(12 vs 14, BTW). That... might be why.

[RollingWave]

SL: i forgot to change it, probably it's seville since I moved them directly from rebel to moors.

I didn't change anything that interact with charactor traits / abiltiiesi / faction standings etc...

[Smokey Bacon]

Winmerge has stopped working, any chance you could tell me what you had edited so I can spell check it quicker for you.

[omen1710]

Thank you for your work. Your mod may be most expected mod. I will download and check your mod.

[omen1710]

I couldn't see your mod name under early 2 tpy option. I think, I did all setup procedure.

[Smokey Bacon]

Ok, well I'll check all their descriptions now.

Omen the mod definitely is excellent!

If you tell me exactly how you installed it I might be able to tell you why it isn't working

[Smokey Bacon]

I have checked nearly all the units you listed except a couple I couldn't find for some reason. I'll send you the corrected file tommorow.

[RollingWave]

I couldn't see your mod name under early 2 tpy option. I think, I did all setup procedure.

i most obvious reason I can think of you not finding it would be that your using the old MSC, did you update to the latest version? (it was only out recently)

Getting a CTD. Turn 54, Novgorod army storming my Danish owned Turku Castle, held by my King.

Danish Forces:

Kings Bodyguard
Viking Bondi
Spear Militia
Viking Raiders
Sergeant Spearmen
Guisarme Militia
Norse Archers
Peasant Archers
Axemen Mercs
Crossbow Mercs
Hunters


Novgorodian Forces:

Bodyguard
Slavic Warband
Eastern Spearmen
Druzhýna
Junior Militia
Berdice Militia
Woodsmen
Nomad Tribal Cavalry
Ballista
Slavic Javelinmen


I have no file in my \Medieval II Total War\logs to post any further information, unfortunately. I did conquer the Castle the turn before from the Rebels, with the same army, so I'm guessing it's the Novgorodian forces that could be the cause.

Edit: Aha! The System.log.txt was in the SS6.3 root folder. This should help:

Smokey Beacon and Rollingwave;

My installation procedures are the following:

1) uninstalled SS6.3
2) deleted SS6.3 folder
3) installed SS6.3
4) installed MSC 4.2 ( I think, this is the latest MSC)
5) by using winrar, I extracted your two 7z files into SS6.3 directory

Do they see my fault in installation procedure? Thanks in advance.

gahhh, i can't believe i missed that , sry i'll fix that (when i first started i put the meshes in sepereat folders but I realize it was much easier if I just use my own folder to put them all in ... but in the process I missed some units )

Hmmm... the only two part I can possibly see is that

A. did you install the hot fix?

B. did you simply extract my folder into ss6.3? of the data folder ? you need to open the first folder and copy the second folder (should be named data) onto the SS6.3 data folder. (it should tell you that you will overwrite some things)

@RollingWave: BTW, I could make some sort of banner or similar for the OP. Take a look at my art (link in my signature) to see what kind of stuff I can do.

This offer still stands.
