[Asake]

I haven't played to win, just opened it, and then retreated - I could go on with the campaign.
As far as the log is concerned - I don't have expertised to interpret it.
Thanks for the save - another example how the situation can evolve, useful for analyses.

It was only for analytic reasons^^
without attacking, or retreating as you say, no crashes happen.
(its just harder to defend the incoming relieve attack by frances best, but last, good army) :-p

Playing as Novgorod, I'm getting spammed with 'Moscow founded' event notifications. Almost every turn it pops up, I'm concerned it is overwriting other historical events as its turn 80 and Hanseatic league event still has not triggered. Is there anyway to terminate the moscow script without restarting the campaign?

don't worry, this is a problem of the info window, it doesn't have any impact on the gameplay

Hello!
I just encountered a frustrating issue. I'm playing as Sicily, I conquered the settlement of Al-Mahdiya exactly a century ago. Therefore the event telling me that it is integrated and that unrest is gone should fire. But at the end of the turn the game crashes. In the log it says that the game was about to fire the event but couldn't find its location in the files. Here is the log:

Thanks for reporting, indeed there's an error. Put this file into the folder data/text, ovewrite, then delete historic_events.txt.strings.bin in the same folder.

And then - upload your save here so that I can see how the economy evolved to used it in further modding

[Rebond]

Thanks for your answer. I followed your instructions but I'm afraid my game still crashes at the end of the turn

Still dropping my save there

You're right, I've uploaded a wrong file. This is the right one, and it works:

[Rebond]

It is now functional, thanks a lot!

[Marus312]

don't worry, this is a problem of the info window, it doesn't have any impact on the gameplay

Thanks for confirming! still strange how hanseatic league still hasn't triggered even though I believe the requirements are met. Anyway, something else I noticed about Novgorod, some of their units are using rebel faction textures instead of the textures that were created for them. For instance, slav levies are using the following textures:

6 russia
55 unit_models/rus/textures/rus_militia_junior_reb.texture
53 unit_models/rus/textures/rus_militia_junior_n.texture
41 unit_sprites/slave_EE_Peasants_sprite.spr

They should be using rus_militia_junior_nov. Just a minor cosmetic thing, if you weren't aware. Same is also true for eastern spearmen, militia calvary, and slavic javelin.

[minhnd6789]

It is now functional, thanks a lot!

What a great campaign! Good job, friend. Nealy 300 turns.
I think you have a stable game and PC. May I ask what window system you are playing? Window 10 or 11?

Since using Window 11, I feel it is not as stable as 10 when playing. How about you, guys?

Hansa - strange, it should not be so at turn 80. Some strange things might happen though, I'll add a safety clause in the next patch.

Textures - it's @kostic's business.

[kostic]

Anyway, something else I noticed about Novgorod, some of their units are using rebel faction textures instead of the textures that were created for them. For instance, slav levies are using the following textures:
6 russia
55 unit_models/rus/textures/rus_militia_junior_reb.texture
53 unit_models/rus/textures/rus_militia_junior_n.texture
41 unit_sprites/slave_EE_Peasants_sprite.spr

They should be using rus_militia_junior_nov. Just a minor cosmetic thing, if you weren't aware. Same is also true for eastern spearmen, militia calvary, and slavic javelin.

Indeed, I haven't done much work on the Russian factions yet and the textures can probably be more appropriate. I won't have time to deal with this this month, but you can try just interchanging the textures on your .modeldb file to see if that works.

[Gaius Iulius Tabernarius]

I'm getting a ctd during the kingdom of Jerusalem turn in my current Byzantine campaign, so far every campaign I've started has reached a point where it stops working like this. I'll attach the save if you can do anything with it.

Here is turn 31. You're playing v. 097H, it's better to play 098 from April, it's much more stable.

[Gaius Iulius Tabernarius]

Oh I hadn't noticed there was a newer version of it. I'm downloading it now. Hopefully it will work better.

[Belovèse]

@Gaius Iulius Tabernarius mind that the two versions (0.97H and 0.98) are absolutely not save compatible.

And there is quite a few changes, but everything is explained in pop-up scrolla, so please take the time to read them!

Yeah I started a new game, I like the changes so far but one issue I have is that the entire world wants to murder me, I have to pay 10,000 gold just to get trade agreements with people. I feel like thats a bug, right?

Rather an imbalance - or maybe not. It depends on your position, size and many other issues.

Its at the very beginning of my new Byzantine campaign. I actually restarted it to try and be less aggressive, occupying settlements instead of sacking them, not assassinating anyone, and getting trade rights early, didn't matter by turn 10 everyone on earth despises me and I have to shell out insane amounts of money to even get trade rights. I'm playing on normal difficulty.

I'm not dealing with the diplomacy and AI (it's @Macaras, he's on holidays) but I'm happy to hear that: the Romaioi are arguably the strongest faction (many rich provinces, strong initial units etc.) in the game and their life should be made difficult exactly through being hated by everybody.
