Stainless Steel 6.4 Early Era: Clash of the Gods

[Caesar15]

So we dont pick our factions yet...?

[Seshomaru]

don't start yet...i to want to play with ortodox

[Lord Luka]

ok now we have 7 players.if 2 more join than we can play 3 vs 3 vs 3.Ask some people around to join us.I wish to start this as soon as possible.

[Onix]

if there is no other catholic players i will take France

[Metatron33]

What a great idea,i myself was thinking of start a HS with a team based platform.
I would love to join! but i don't guarantee that ill be able to play.Today i'm going to work on fixing my M2tw(getting it to work with windows 7)and installing SS,on the mean time,save me a spot for Muslim!


EDIT: I think Catholics should be England,France,Spain,and The Holy Roman Empire.

[Lord Luka]

max.k the factions are not yet decided.When the game starts each religion will decide which factions to take.

Metatron33 i too hope you join.Conserning the catholic factions i have a different idea.I think they should be France,HRE;Italy(one of 3 factions) and Denmark or Norway.By my opinion Spain is too much at risk from Moors.France on the other hand can conquer england and be much more powerfull to stand against Moors.Also a united Italy could provide a much greater navy that could be a real threat to the muslim domination on the sea.Well all that is ofcourse if we actually have 4 players for each faction.If not 3 will also be just fine

Well,to think about it,seem as if the Muslims and Orthodox players will be at war with each other very early as we have the turks boredering the Byz and cuman players n Kyv very close by.but the cathlics really dnt have much of a challange on expansion.So truely,i believe that having a Spanish player a Italian(one of the 3 as u sed) a Poland/hungary(there has to be at least on close to the fire) and lastly the 4th could be either the English, HRE or French.There has to be atleast a hungary/poland player.

Wait are you saying that there should be 4 catholic factions against 3 orthodox and 3 muslim?That would mean a big advantage for catholics.And besides it's not catholics that are the most powerful, it's the Musilms.If Moors, Fatimids and Turks will be played by human than there's whole persia and arab peninsula to be conquered for Muslims.And catholics will also engage muslims in spain so it's not like they have some huge advantage.Orthodox are in worst position here but they at least have Byzantium which is the most powerfull faction and with a right strategy even they could emerge victorious.

Besides Spain which i think should be AI i think that we agree that there should be 1 italian faction, england/france and HRE/Poland/Hungary.

[Caesar15]

Hre should be considered heretic :p

[Playeraka]

So we divide?

[Metatron33]

so we are going for a 3v3v3,better.
But yeah,i guess your right,lets leave the players decide which faction to play as but have 'em pick from groups,such as,one of the Italian factions.ect.but i guess its up to you to make the groups from where they will choose from.

[Lord Luka]

I guess catholics and muslims can divide, only orthodox need 1 more player.Let me know when you decide who takes what.

One more thing.I think it is fair that holy wars on orthodox are forbidden since they are the weakest and they don't have any holy wars themselves.If you don't agree with this, let me know and i will change that.

[Playeraka]

Seems fine with meh

[Metatron33]

Hey guys,as much as I would have love to participate in this HS I wouldnt be able to.
Still haven't gotten SS to work with my windows 7..maybe next time.

[Rougeman]

i dont think its Windows 7, since ive got that, maybe its ur install or maybe settings? either way i guess you wont be playing?

[Metatron33]

it would be VERY helpfull if you guys give me the detials on what you did when installing the mod please,location and everything.

[Rougeman]

did you install any of the kingdoms campaigns? cause you have to install atleast one of them for it to work (i think)

[Metatron33]

[Rougeman]

[Seshomaru]

i too encounter some error with installation but it's beacuse you have to install it in .../Medieval II Total War and no .../M2TW/mod this is beacuse mod haven't an imperial campagin and take it from vanilla(or something like that) just try it

1.dl install
2.instal part 1 in .../M2TW then part2/3 in the same folder (../M2TW)
3.install the hotfix in your SS 6.3!!!
4.patch it to 6.4
5.open it and play
