{DIK} >>> Download - Patch 4.1 <<<

[Aneirin]

Dear fellows,
we are very proud to present to you our newest version of the Italian Wars, Patch 4.1!
This Patch fixes most of the know bugs, but that's not all, we also rebalanced the unit settings. For example recruitment or up keep costs, as well as, armour and damage settings. Besides this balancing issues, we also reworked parts of the map. For example the city of Mantua is now surrounded by rivers and protected by forts, to represent the three lakes next to the city or there is now a land bridge from the island of Venice towards the mainland. For the exact list, check the changelog included in the download file.
So have fun!
Your TIW-Modding Team

[biro69]

Very well, thank you Neadal.

[Mausolos of Caria]

Good stuff! I will give it a try as soon as this brutal heat is gone Damn, I accidentally installed it into the game folder and not the mod folder. After installing it in the latter, too, nothing works anymore Funnily enough, before that, 4.0 would still run.

[Aneirin]

Thank you guys, you should grant Iskar rep+, as well.
He did most of the research, which allowed me to fix 99% of all known bugs

[Budweiser]

That is GREAT!

Did you delete the map. rwm?

[Mausolos of Caria]

Thanks, I did forget that. Before I couldn't start a campaign (sent me back to the main menu), not it crashes if I try to launch a campaign. I should probably reinstall it fully...

[Aneirin]

Yes, I agree
That is the most proper solution.

[Vilica]

now english translat. for 4.1 pls..

[Mausolos of Caria]

I finally got it working after all this while Cheers!

One question, I can see square signs before each unit name, are they intended or how can I remove them?

Well, that's strange.. may you post a screenshot?

now english translat. for 4.1 pls..

The patch is already in English?...

[babay11]

THX!!!

[Mausolos of Caria]

Ned, it's just this: ꙁ, like ꙁVenetian Infantry, where it shows their name, as if it could not display a letter from a foreign alphabet.

[Aneirin]

Hmm.. very strange. Does anyone have this problem, as well?
Did you installed the English version on the German version 4.0?

I have also attached you the unit description.. you may copy them and overwrite your current ones.

[Mausolos of Caria]

Where do I have to put it? Thank you for your quick help as always, Neadal, fantastic job!

[Aneirin]

Just extract them and then copy the files (export_units.txt, export_units.string.txt) inside your italian_wars\data\text folder.
Overwrite the previous ones.

Always a pleasure
The day will come, when all bugs are gone and the kingdom of bug freeness has arrived, I am sure

[Mausolos of Caria]

Mmh, it's still there in front of every description. But after 2 turns I already got used to it, so don't worry

[Aneirin]

Grr.. bad.
Alright, a test

I have attached you a new unit description file, in which I have made some changes.
So please look for following units: Venetian Heavy Infantry and Venetian Navy Archers.
Do you still have this "bug"?

[Mausolos of Caria]

The two units you mentioned have a blank space instead of the symbol in front of their names now. All other units are fine now Thank you again, I owe you 3 rep points now

Something else, the guy in Ancona is simply called ''Cardinal'' when I look at the settlement

[DeathtoEgo]

Awesome work, kudos ladies(?) and gentlemen.
