Buff and Shine 2.4: New Factions, Changed Recruitment and more

[Redbad of the Frisians]

hey, the Gilaks of the Bavandids still are using the wrong attachment sets, also their elite infantry seem to be using the wrong model, their unit card and info picture both hint to an axe wielding unit but they are using a sword and don't look like anything in their pictures, also the Paygans are using spears instead of the axes in their pictures, if the axe model still exists maybe we could get both?

Ansar warriors of Oman cost over 19k

Oof, nice find. This is the problem when you do things by yourself haphazardly over the years.
Attached a quick change

Yes I know, I can't be arsed modelling or playing around with that at present.
If you would like to have a crack or share better UI cards for the units I will give you full credits for them and incorporate them into the mod.
Apologies

Why aznauri nobles are not in Georgian roster? They are recruitable only in campaign in Islamic castles [IMG]Aznauri Nobles[/IMG] https://skr.sh/sHKtKNNITJT?a

Georgian roster and units do not correspond to historical reality. There are many anachronisms. 17th-18th century armor and weapons in the 11th-12th century. Unfortunately no one could fix it.However, the medieval Georgian kingdom was an original and good power

I made a video guide about how to play custom *SIEGE* battles in Broken Crescent in case if someone didnt know that it is possiple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwfVxJTAmHs

I have played this mod plenty of times, but I am playing it for the first time with the Ildegizids, and for some reason after a certain turn, this keeps happening:

Always at the end of the turn, Ildegizids are at war with several factions. I do not understand why, there is absolutely no message about a script or anything, just no matter what I do, the game decides I am at war with them. What in the hell is going on? I have never seen this in any mod! It is really annoying, that the game won't let me play the damn game.

That's really odd, there is no script that is creating this nor can I recreate what you are experiencing playing to turn 5. I did have two other factions declare war on me including Georgia which you start at war with but that only occured 3/10 runs i attempted.

It sounds like you are missing the player text file in your vanilla MTW2 folder. In your Medieval II Total War\preferences folder is there a text file called player.txt? If not just create a blank text file called player and save it that will probably work.
If that doesn't work go to BCBuff/preferences and create a player.txt file there.

Totally unsurprising, if you can model and create a roster of units I'd be very happy to incorporate them into this mod and give you full credit. If you can't there are to options we can keep them how they are or we can remove the Georgian faction all together if you feel the anachronisms are to offensive to the historical record. There are Alani models that are unused and replacing Georgia all together with the Alani Kingdom could be a better replacement?
Personally, I'd prefer the lazy option of keeping Georgia in with the current models and letting the anachronisms slide but I can be convinced otherwise.

I wonder how to judge the success rate of auto battle.
I have modded the rebel settlement with 20 groups param elephant archers which each unit contains 90 people and 30 elephants.But one mixture of Oman army always can defeat them and ocuppy the settlement.

I've had the strangest bug, I can't recruit or select any building, unless I save leave and restart every other turn. Anyone experienced this?
Perhaps I need to reinstall, I have not played in ages.
Thank you

Did you turn on the Governor Script?
That sounds like the Governor Script in action, if you enable it and do not have a governor in the settlement for a full turn you can not recruit and build anything in that settlement.

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

what an idiot, yes that will be that.
Thank you

Thank you WeekendGeneral for the new 2.4 version. Just saw it on ModDb, downloading now.

Double edit : How do you play tolerance? Public order penalty from religious unrest is way too great so i always pick religious persecution for more stability

Reputation are strangely very difficult to increase here. Most of ai expanding faction would become treacharous reputation overtime meanwhile occupy country and ally didn't seems to increase reputation.

Are reputation only decrease now?

Edit: Releasing prisoner remain a reliable option for reputation farming

Kingdom of Georgia to stay in the game
I can't model. Georgian units are being created in Steinle's steel
Cooperation is possible

beside, it's also debatable if more tolerance leads to less or more public order. I'd say that tolerance is intoduce to appease the local populations, and it should lead to better public order, with perhaps less loyalty from generals and some other penalties

There are traits that increase trade income and unrest reduction for being tolerant but religious unrest can as high as 110% that i see no reason why i shouldn't persecute them instead.

Just a personal opinion but I think they should be another more 'rebel' independent turkmen stacks or independent beyliks roaming around. Plus as much as I hate it I have not had any problems with my Roman generals revolting, I'm a hundred turns in.
Edit: not that I'm complaining, I'm having a fantastic campaign fun, challenging and historic, everything I need.
Is there a Mamluk rebellion?
