[DOWNLOAD] SSHIP ver. 0.97 (outdated, use v. 098)

[Lifthrasir]

Thanks for your kind words Gents. Appreciate

@ VineFynn, each contribution to the mod is valuable

[Jurand of Cracow]

new features weren't really the focus of 0.9.6

I agree with it. And this is the major advantage of our common work: fixing and cleaning what's under the hood.
My submods weren't introducing new features either: the provincial and ministerial titles existed, so were the traits. The issue is: over years of modding, the modders would add their stuff without paying much notice to the others' work. The result was that many mechanisms didn't work due to the countering effects of the other mechanisms. (and frankly speaking there're still botched up mechanism to be fixed, I believe).

[Lifthrasir]

^^ yes, there are still quite a lot

Yes. The overlapping functionality of the civil war and civil disorder traits is the principle one.

What can we expect in future releases ?

Question about later game stage.
Does the game become harder in later stage ? And how hard it becomes compared to BGR IV? BGR IV makes me immerse in the world of thinking and making plans. The only thing is irritating is micromanaging traits and thats it.

On my wish list would be RRRC 2.0 partly implemented, or atleast cavalry nerfed.

P.S. settlement titles should atleast describe of which settlement they are. I having hard time differing then apart. It would be great to see this fixed.

[Dekhatres]

cavalry nerf is easy, just change "melee hit rate" inside the battle_config.xml file, by default it's 3.0 so change it to like 1.0

1. no idea about future. I've got plenty of ideas on fixing traits but I doubt they'll ever be implemented.
2. BGR: I used to be a great fan but I got critical of many features, see my opinion here. I think many of the goals of the BGR are achieved in the SSHIP through other means - see may review here.
3. if only there'd be somebody implementing RRRC2.0, I'd be in favour. but I don't expect it.
4. settlement titles - ok, I'll take it into account and add the names to the descriptions. Thanks for advice, I'm looking for such experience-based observations.
5. I've made some details getting more difficult as the game progresses (eg AI agents get buffs after 100 and 200 turns), but in general there's no such mechanism like in the BGR. I personaly think that the main way to limit snow-balling should be through lower Loyalty of the generals and increased chances of civil wars, and perhaps through financial outlays.

For now, I'll focuse on the 2 main remaining issues, the archers bug (causing these black zebra across the screen) and the missing voices. Others issues can be checked while implementin,g other stuff.
From there and related to the 1st point above, I'd like to review the animations. As Dekhatres said by the past, the SS one seem to have been "simplified" and I share his view about the old one being better on the fact that soldiers tended to move forward and to surround the ennemy.
After that, we'll see. As JoC said, there are still many points to work on.

Hello, I would like to inform you that I just started to play newest version of SSHIP mod as Nowogorod and at my 8 turn fraction kingdom of Jerusalem was destroyed. looks like generals from the royal family were killed and 5 cites have became rebel.

[Lifthrasir]

That's unfortunate but can happen unfortunately. That's just due to the fact that that faction has no more general alive as you mentionned yourself

Fear not, they're likely to be back, there's a Special Script For Factions to Respawn From Slave-owned capitals after some time.

[HaruHaias]

Keep up the good work!!!
I see a new release, did EDU stats got some balance? btw how are you balancing EDU ??

[Lifthrasir]

No, no change about the stats in the EDU.
If you want to change them by yourself, check this thread

[Grathus]

Thank You gentlemen's for Your answers. The death of all family members must therefore be only an unfortunate coincidence.
I am also glad that such a script exist, i ll continue my campaign it gaves me a lot of fun.

Sincerely,
Grathus

It would be great if you reported on your campaign in the relevant thread - to inform other players etc. Perhaps with pics, or maybe statistical data.

Thanks I will send some pics in there after some time playing

Hi, I think it's a really great mod, playing an early era french campaign at the moment.
May I ask how to start a late era campaign? When I click on the option, and select custom campaign, only three nations are available, and when selecting either of them, nothing happens. I would really like to play a high era capmaign, and possibly a late are pike--and shot one. But sticking with the ealy-only campaign, players have to play countless hours to get to those times/technologies (and by that time usually dominating half of the world).
Thanks for the answer in advance!

[Lifthrasir]

The high era was started by MWY (inactive nowadays). That's still an alpha version quite buggy. I haven't spent time to look at it (not enough time for that) and can't say if it works or not with this release.
If you really want to play it, download v0.9.2 and v0.9.5. That should do
