TATW Unofficial patch 4.0

[leo.civil.uefs]

Bug found and fixed.

The crash was being caused by wrong character name edition.

The hotfix is in the download section.

Thanks Flo78 for the feedback.

[Flo78]

I am happy if i could help you, cause i like this mod very much.
Im going to test the fix this evening

Edit:
I played a new silvan elves campaign til turn 120 without any crash.
The hotfix works fine

Rebels has suddenly become active in my submod. They are moving around in the strat map and attacking settlements.
I have no idea how this is happening since I didn't change anything that could be causing this.

Anyway I like it.

I can guarantee the custom battlemap... Can't say anything about the dragon...

This is amazing!! 🐉🐉🐉🐉
I read this in the content:

Balrog is now an infantry single man unit with custom general model and animation both in strat map and battle map (no more 3 balrogs glitch)

How do you find a ways to have a single man unit, is it real possible?

The rebels that rebel against other faction? That's interesting..seems that the M2TW Skynet is taking power!!

I've made him a general with invisible bodyguard.
Its not the perfect solution but far better than 3 balrogs. Besides, me and other guy, we have great plans for animations, and there is a tool under production, if everything goes right, there will be new animations for the balrog and the invisible bodyguards will get even more unoticeable.

Hello,

I installed 3.2 TATW and the game runs fine. Then i installed AP 2.7 + Hotfix and now upon starting a new campaign with any factions, i am getting "medieval 2 total war encountered an unspecified error and will now exit" error. No other submods/mods enabled other than TATW+AP. Does anyone know how to fix this error ?

About the balrog.
I seeged Moria with my Elves, the message/video poped up "balrog ressurected" but no Balrog Unit appears in the army of the defenders.
Dont know whats wrong there

@makiferol

Did you follow the installation instructions (directly below the download link) on the first page ?

I found the problem, will include a solution for the next release.
For now, pretend the Balrog just run away afraid of your elves.

Found another Bug.
On the siege map of Erebor you can not cross the black "Bridge" to the Gate, neither the attackers nor the defenders.

Siege map of erebor, you mean Erebor custom settlement?
what you mean with "black bridge"? is that the bridge over the pit that leads directly to Erebor gate?
Are you sure you're talking about Erebor settlement itself, not erebor-dale custom tile or dale settlement, or even ravenhill custom tile?

I recently got a weird but in the bridge of Erebor too. the gate bridge was impossible to cross, though I checked the settlement files and everything was fine, later I foudn out this bug is sporadical, it does not happen always.

[Flo78]

Siege map of erebor, you mean Erebor custom settlement?

I mean Erebor the dwarf capital on campaign map.

what you mean with "black bridge"? is that the bridge over the pit that leads directly to Erebor gate?

yes exactly, the bridge over the pit that leads directly to Erebor gate.

[leo.civil.uefs]

I mean Erebor the dwarf capital on campaign map.

yes exactly, the bridge over the pit that leads directly to Erebor gate.

I just checked a siege in Erebor in campaign. The bridge works pretty fine both for attackers and in the event of a sally forth.
If you check Erebor custom settlement via custom battle, you'll notice the bridge works pertty well too.
In campaign, the settlement loads exactly the same files from custom battle, so I have no idea why this is happening, and yes, it is happening, as I said, this bug happened to me recently too.

I have no clue on the cause. Maybe its sporadical so you just need to reload the game and try again, maybe it has something to do with the units involved in the battle... I really don't know, and seems there is nothing I can do, not that I can do now.

[makanyane]

Units will only use bridges if they think there is no other option. Any chance that they think there's another way around?

Nope. No I did changes in the layout.

As I said, this bug wont happen always, maybe its sporadical, maybe it has something with the type of unit, but it wont happen everytime, definitely.

I would like to show you guys a game.

Warlords 3: Darklords Rising was a myth in my early teenage, I only had acess to the demo and searched for the game in the web for years, having found it only many years later, and always had problems with running it in modern pcs.

Released in 1999, basically, this game is the masterpiece of turn based strategy, the art, the game mechanics, the battle system, everything in this game fascinated me from the beggining.

I remember playing it with some friends in what was my first contact with hotseat gameplay, cant describe how fun it was.

It is considered a cult masterpiece of turn based fantasy strategy, a simple game, but not simplory, complex, but not complicated, exactly the way I like games.

I just came to know that FINALLY, after decades I waited for it, the game is now released compatible with modern software/hardware, available in GOG.

Every turn based strategy lover should take a look even if for the sake of curiosity.

PS: This game is precisely the source of inspiration for the new ruins feature I implemented in my last releases. It has a system that I tried to replicate in TATW as close as possible to its original form.

No words to describe how much I love this game, and its not even necessary to say I bought it from gog, and yes, Im playing it.
This game is pure magic.

Back to Moria to work!!!

Hehehe, just kidding. The game itself look very interesting and I didn't knew of it's existence, thanks for sharing Leo. I'm sure people here will appreciate this gesture and will be drawn to the game. I really can't afford it but already wishlisted it. Seems like the perfect kind of game to spend time on a low resources laptop a lazy afternoon.


Now seriously, back to the mines!

Huummm... as far as I remember, I never did any change in my submod related to arnor feature nor its user interface. So I dont know the reason why this is happening, and maybe its not even something related exclusively to my sub-mod.
Do the button still works, despite being invisible?

[Flo78]

No, you cant get to diplomacy overview or Victory conditions anymore.

Someone else helped me to fix this, and though I can't be 100% sure everything is fine (difficult to test), I think I have a 99%.

Thanks!
