TATW Realism+ /Final/ [TATW 3.2]

[DaVinci]

Unrelated to thread topic:



Hey DaVinci! I'm trying to send you a PM, but it looks like you have disabled it. Is there another way of contacting you privately?

regards
KP

My apologies for interrupting

Hello KP, didn't know that you are still active as modder (wow, it was 2005 that we worked together for TFT, until afterwards Stuie and me were left in the team in end 2005/start 2006 for the last TFT version creation/release ... well, i'm not sure anymore about this TFT phase).

My PM function is reserved to TWC contacts aka "friends" (and global moderators and admins, of course).
Long due that you belong to this group, i'll put you on the list, and you have then to accept, then PM'ing is possible between us (but i would like that limited also as for the related mail-messages, because of demanding RL, and this also with ie. "uncountable" mails each day).

I can't really recall the timing of TFT, but I was back for v1.8.6 and believe I made some ProDeco and trait fixes for the final v1.9.2 (april 2006). I have been modding ever since, just not been active on this forum. The topic I would like to discuss with you is The First Triumvirate for m2TW (TFT2) - i'll send you a PM with the details so we can take this off-line.

thanks again for this mod.... wanted to bump it so people can see how great it is.... if you want a great eriador experience this cannot be beat. Also look up bygs logistics mod and and his traits so armies lose morale if not resupplied by enter home territory, new settlement or boat. I turtle with eriador for 80 turns, only take 11 settlements then go crazy and this is the most difficult experience yet. The changes to recruitment are awesome, so much better than any other mod.... if eriador you get to recruit one major army(2.5 stacks) every 80 turns or so... if you conquer friendly areas you can then add their auxiliary troops. recruiting everything from barracks is a great idea and tying trade to all resource buildings was smart. Also to recruit horses you need that resource is many cases and to upgrade high level armor you need iron resource. All other mods I can have 9 stacks of the same 3 units if eriador by turn 80.... axemen, woodland archers, and merchants... rinse/repeat, then I get arnor by turn 90 and get 25 stacks of fully armored infantry. especially with the new jihad additions and such. I am at turn 90 in realism mod and annuminus has 8k people because I have had to tax at times to keep money flowing... and if low tax my growth grows to 4% so it really matters how you play not just put on low and upgrade without thought. Everyone should try this mod.

Thanks a lot, Mank, that's very nice, the two more dl-sources ... i also have put a link to your post above into the dl-section of the 1st post, so it might not be missed.

P.S. Somehow, the by me provided ModDB dl-source is linked now as well to Gamefront server, i have no idea how that's possible, as wasn't done by me.

[knight of meh]

that always happens afaik only if you are logged in to a ModDB account at the time of downloading you get it from there server

all "guests" get redirected to gamefront

at least thats how it worked like 6 months ago the last time i visited modDB

[DaVinci]

Hm, thanks for the info, comicable thing anyways.

Your mod is awesome. For many reasons. One is that in 100 turns no faction died. Another is that Battle AI is good. Difficulty in campaign is here even in medium difficulty (i play Gondor).

Do you use some AI or have you mod it yourself ?

[DaVinci]

Is this mod compatible with G5 ReallyBadAI ?

It's part of TATW vanilla, thus part of this mod.

All my modding sets on TATW vanilla as described in first post.
There are no secret AI files whatsoever from other mods or AI mods unless listed ones in 1st post, just Germanicu5 ReallyBadAI which is but part of TATW, thus yes, changed impacts on the gameplay compared to TATW vanilla are selfmade ( always the case in my mods ).

Vifarc, posts 668-671, i'm sorry, i don't know what you posting here all of statistics etc. ...lol... the mod is declared final.

The mod as delivered by me via 1st post works excellent as planned/designed by me, and is bug free and free from ctd's ... so any crash-issues which you are experiencing are caused by your custom changes or whatever.
And the relevant changes for the Germanicu5 ReallyBadAI from 5.6 to 5.7 content (as you mention that) are implemented into the last version of this TATW Realism+ mod manually, regardless of what your log says for G5 RBAI versions.

Does it change something for the balance or the Ai if we play this mod in large unit scale instead of huge ?

No idea now, never tested, iirc. ... might be a question for others who play with Large size.

[Vifarc]

. Realism+ seems (edit: not?) compatible with 4.8 AlternativePatch (old name was UnofficialPatch):
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?494054-4-8-Alternative-patch-%28READ-THE-DAMN-FAQ-PLEASE%29
You don't need to uninstall all: Apply 4.8 on current Realism+, and install back Realism+ on top.
EDIT: Oh, I've some battle CTD. I'll remove 3.3, to test.

. With my edited decr_strat file, I now can play with Realism+, I'm not compelled to maximum efficiency, that's no longer work.
If you want to copy (overwrite) them, my new increased numbers are (Faction De Kp):
Gondor 11040 2600
Rohan 8160 2080
Dale 5540 1340
Dwarves 5420 1440
Eriador 5860 1460
High Elves 5240 1480
Silvan Elves 4820 1400
Mordor 12800 3040
Isengard 5580 1640
Orcs MM 6940 1700
Angmar 6220 1480
Harad 9540 2300
Rhun 6940 1680
Following are untouched (instead of going down to vanilia numbers):
Arnor 6200 1550: Eriador is the more beneficial of the factions at first in this balance (only Silvan slightly surpasses, from Turn 17), but gain almost no money more in the end when becoming Arnor...
Slaves 5200 1300

Want to make sure I downloaded this right. So with the new recruitment system Minas Tirith can't recruit a generic archer? only the cool ones? Or a low level militia?

[SirSamuel]

Is this mod compatible with G5 ReallyBadAI ?

[Jack-OF-Blade]

And Is it compatible with MOs ? ( i don't think so, but i want to be sure...).
And if i want only the smarter AI in battle, what files or text have i to copy paste ?

[Jmonstra]

Probably not, unless someone has a TR just for MOS.

[Gigan]

As Gondor, is this the hardest submod? Have tried Dale and conquered Rhun by turn 100
