Re: Realism Core v5 for LME4
Thanks Sirlion. I have begun another campaign as France in the 1807 campaign and so far so good after 28 turns and almost a TB of recorded footage. I've only had two crashes, one that was mid battle with a heavy mist and masses of smoke and I zoomed into a unit too quick which blew my PCs brains I think, even though it's a powerful one. The other crash was a naval battle with a lot of ships and it just froze, I think that was down to the boarding action I ordered ? I did re-run both with no issues but avoided repeating the zooming in and boarding actions. But I do also play it safe by closing the game after an hour or so and play no more than 2 battles in a row before restarting the game and save save save constantly. I decided also to change the treasuries this time too, to give it some credence, all nations began with between 250,000 to 1 million in the treasury (I did try to find out the wealth of these nations in this period to adjust the games figures, but that proved more work than necessary, so I just generally change it to no less than 10 times the starting treasury they have been allotted, but for larger nations like France, Britain and Russia they get at least 1 million but no more than 1 million, so the cash isn't totally inexhaustible, trade is till something to work at and balance of both in-comings and outgoings is something to keep an eye on) Spain and Russia have found this the most convenient, Russia has some big ass armies. Spain too, but Spain is dithering about what to do with them, it's proving an interesting campaign though.
I think the winter attrition is just the standard effect of lost men and not the disease effects that you mentioned because the install was from the first post. I did reinstall the "export historic events" feature with the link regarding that, but I didn't see it's effects of disease etc in Winter so I took it out the data folder again before restarting a new campaign (even adding it to the script, though there was no mention of doing so, but either way, neither worked for me). A thing I really wanted to include was the changes you made to the diplomacy "Present state gift" feature, but I couldn't find a link for that.
I'll try the 1812 campaign again one day as France and try a different approach. I've played LME4 for years and know Wellington is causing the crash issue for whatever reason. It's fine to play as Britain and move Wellington about, but playing anyone else and dealing with him has crashed the game. I've experienced that, playing as both France and Spain.
But the battles are still delighting me and I think the mass rout feature you implemented is just a hoot. I have the units set at x1.7 so the units vary between 200 to 750 men, the French Column units being the largest and the French Cavalry reserve just scares the pants of most with 360 men. I just can't get enough of watching these columns of troops march past with the big bass drum and the sound of clanking and hooves clippety clopping. And the large armies means if I wanted them to, the battles could go on for a long time. I've had one siege assault to conduct and found that a real challenge, the defenders with their cannons were murdering me with their accuracy and rate of fire, whilst my cannon were like pin pricks on the walls, so I had to go hands on so to speak. Luckily I had 2 Grenadier Regts to get on the walls so the rest could get in either through the gates or up the ropes. It's brilliant
