[karaislam]

where are you soul.

i still wait a good news from you for alliances in the mod

[soulson]

1.5 is coming soon. Be patient I have limited time and I re-wrote the entire invasion and diplomacy section which takes a lot of trial and error to get perfect which is what I want.

ok i wait this

[soulson]

Should be ready real soon. Maybe later today.

[Freakwave]

Awaiting with anticipation.

Anyone noticing a problem with papal favor while playing catholic factions?

[Freakwave]

No, only denmark has been excommunicated in my game. There are less alliances and thus also with the pope but that hasnt led to more excommunications. The traditional enemies are now starting to pick on each other so it might increase in the future.

[Andytheplatypus]

What turn are you on?

[Freakwave]

turn 32. Denmark has been reconciled, standings at 4 crosses atm. Venice at 5 and all the rest higher. Denmark and Venice are the ones with the most enemies.

is it a error that pretty much any nation would accept a ceasfire with me?

is it a error that pretty much any nation would accept a ceasfire with me?

I wonder about this, because I quit a campaign earlier after about 30 turns as this was constantly the case in my game a few editions ago as well.

Nevertheless, I've been waiting for 1.5 for almost a month now, but there hasn't even been any word for several weeks. So I guess I will give 1.4 a shot.

Hopefully, moving this thread back up in the list, it's near the bottom of page two now, will give Soulson a bit of incentive and encouragement for what surely is a much appreciated as well as needed effort!

[Siddyus]

This is such a sweet AI. First time in ages I've seen the HRE and Moors pwn and the scots are able to push back the English where they belong. Looking forward for the next release asap.

[Freakwave]

Esp. with the weekend coming . Been holding of a new game for this mod

[Vegas21]

Very much looking forward to 1.5. Great job with the ai man.

[soulson]

Back from work but only for a day or 2. Glad you guys are enjoying. 1.5 will have to wait.

[Asterix]

Soulson-looks brilliant, can't wait to try it.
one thing, though-i think it should be possible for orthodoxes to ally with Catholics. the byzantines relied on Catholic Europe, especially later on, to keep it alive and keep the Muslims at bay. in the 1090s, the Byzantine emperor requested assistance to keep the Turks out of Anatolia, so Pope Urban II decided to call all of christendom to take up the cross and sword and march on their glorious journey to defend their fellow Christians by taking...Jerusalem...but you get the point. Alliances happened historically between Catholics and Orthodoxes and, while they differed in religion, both considered each other the lesser of two evils, and were willing to join forces to keep mutual enemies at bay.

[Freakwave]

Thanks for the update, looking forward to 1.5!

[Vegas21]

Hey quick question, sorry it is has been asked but I read through the thread and it doesn't seem to be the case. Is this compatible with Meneths Submod Compilation?

[Freakwave]

Technically not, since both mods have one file in common, namely descr_campaign_db.xml. Soulsons mod consists of two files. You can merge the one they have in common, by using a tool called winmerge. Which lets you view the two files simultanously, so you can pick the things you want to use. The file alters things like character aging, heretic spawn chances etc but it will probably run if you paste it over Meneths submod. Just make sure you make a copy of the file.

[soulson]

campaign_ai_db file should work fine. As long as the mod doesn't change the campaign_db file you can use that too.
