Should I release the mod with a small glitch or not?

[julianus heraclius]

People,

I'm having some problems with the Custom Battles. I seem to be unable to load custom battles with settlements. They do however load OK in campaign mode. Custom battles without settlements also work fine.

I have tried for days to try to resolve this but as yet no solution.

My question to you should I release the mod with this small glitch (as the mod is really intended as a campaign play, plus most if not all online battles do not involve seiges) and fix it later either as a patch or as a V1.1, or perservere to try to solve it?

Yes, release the mod with the small glitch. I doubt anyone really plays custom battles with sieges, to be honest.

I have a feeling this will be one of the most predictable polls in the history of the TWC...

...well, I have to ask. We are a democracy.

I can wait on settlement custom battles. However, are you perfectly sure the campaign settlement seiges/battles work thoroughly? If so, then release the mod, then a patch later. Its likely a patch would be needed later anyway for unforseen glitches as the game goes on. Let us play, and make such corrections and others as they come up; release a patch a little later.

Not true, I love night sieges with flaming catapults.

Do I really need to say how I voted?

Everyone will say release it, so will I. If everything in the mod is done except that little glitch then don't torture yourself. Obviously you can fix it with a patch. The only thing that matters here is in which state do you want to release your mod.

[Julianus Flavius]

I say release. I only do city battles in the campaign, because they annoy me so (nothing wrong with the mod, it's just the engine in general)

[Lionheart]

Release....release now....so you already now my vote...

[rhalina]

Like the others : release it

[julianus heraclius]

I think I may have solved the glitch. It seems to be related to the export_desc_building.txt file. I had added some new buildings such as baths and gymnasiums and for some reason this prevented custom battles with settlements being loading. When I put these buildings at the bottom of the file the custom battles worked.

I have no idea why this should be but has tried it now several times and the battles have loaded. What's interesting is that these new buildings have no relation to any other settlement files.

Very strangeBut if it works, don't question it.

Cheers

Good news! Now I can finally play custom siege battles (just kidding).

Yes. Joar has finished his work for me and done a fantastic job. I just need to implement the 12 tpy option and then wrap it all up.

I just have to import the 12 tpy option with all the summer/winter movement restrictions required and then package up everything.

Sweet....

[Arges]

1st option!

[juvenus]

well, since everything is set and even the problem has been fixed, now we should vote for "no", just for fun.....(listening for any sound of the angry mob with torches and axes closing on my home).
