[Released] ChivTW - FCRC v1.0

[Drtad]

Shouldn't u at least get a chance to defend urself? I can except the capital falling but automatically every other city falls? Most cities fall to Venice automatically, u have 3 or 4 cities left, and then it asks u to choose a faction and when u do, the other cities automatically go to Venice and ur left with one? That's too harsh, might as well make the game start out with Roman Empire having one city and everyone at war with them, what's the point to play till 1204 if u only get 1 city left in the end? Might as well just end turns without doing anything and start playing at 1204.

Well it's supposed to be surprising and difficult.

Until 1204 you can build up around a certain city and wait, I suppose.

It is what it is, don't like it go to the mod workshop and learn how to change it yourself.

Good Luck.

Fair enough.

Besides that, I say: prepare! BUild up the city you're going to choose, stack troops in it. When 1204 comes, I'm always pretty able to take a few cities within the first 6 turns or so.

Tbh I think it is a tad too difficult (and worth the "impossible" rating more than the Teutonic Order campaign).

I tried choosing Trebizond and expanding into the Caucasus but that turned out to be a stupid idea.

I was able to do it

I'll make some changes in the patch

As Trebizond!? The Turks wouldn't leave me alone...

Just a suggestion for ur upcoming patch, but I think it would be better if strong Venitian army stacks appeared, rather than automatically all the cities going over to Venice. That way, the player can fight his battles, and have a chance to make his own destiny, rather than the script choosing it for him. That way, the player would have motivation to play and get ready for the coming crusaders, instead of just building up 1 city and waiting for 1204. The fourth crusade is to heavily scrippted, and allows no freedom for the player. With the current way, I would try to keep my cities for the eco, only improving 1 city, and shortly before 1204, I would sell all the buildings in my other cities (minus the one I'm going to keep, of course), pull out the garrisons, and stage a revolt so the rebels take over, damaging the city for the Venetians (so they have no eco and less population). To be honest, waiting to do that for 25 turns doesn't give me much encouragment to play the Roman Empire. Just a thought, but it's ur mod, do it however u like.

[Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze]

Won't work. The AI will just march the stacks back to Venice without trying anything. If your suggestion was indeed possible, I would have done that instead of this in the first place

No matter, I have some ideas for the patch.

Isn't the ai quite aggressive in this mod, though? Turkey is always attacking me, why wouldn't Venice do the same if they had lovely stacks appearing outside rich lightly guarded Roman cities? Even if u know in advance what's going to happen, I doubt u can fully prevent the fall of some major cities, provided u make the ai army strong enough. I just think losing ALL ur cites but 1 without a fight is a bit harsh, no?

[Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze]

Well, the AI treats spawned stacks differently from "normal" ones. It tends to just not use the spawned ones. As for it being a bit harsh to just have 1 city; well, not with the right balancing (which this isn't yet. That's why I already pre-planned a patch).

hotfix didn't do anything, but I am now getting an error (settlement script error at line 489 column 12)

[DaVinci]

I suggest checking the install instructions once more (and probably removing the modfolder and reinstalling will do the trick).

[Drtad]

Yes, I have never encountered an error like that before.

[Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze]

I have, but that's only when a certain file is plain wrong (so not just an instable game). Reinstalling should do.

[Freelancer Tex]

Main campaign goes back to the menu too.
