Nice work, downloading now.

Can you give a little more info about that script that gives the AI money?

When I cut all the supply routes, when I block all the ports I actually would like a faction to run out of money, espacially if they only have a few regions left under their control.

So, how does your script work in detail?

[Lusted]

If they go below a certain levbel of money they get a small cash boost. But if you keep on cutting their trade routes etc, the money they are given will not make up for the money they are losing.

[infierno]

any fix for 2handers, new passive bugs, and high ground attackers bonus missing?

Sounds good, thanks for the info.

any fix for 2handers

The readme is a handy thing:

-workaround for units with 2 handed bug, they now fight in melee and against cavalry

new passive bugs, and high ground attackers bonus missing?

I can't change that.

[Leatherpenguin]

Wonderful, sounds like it will prove for a challenging campaign! Downloading!

[superstylin]

Sweet jesus! Imma try this out asap! But its 4am, and I should.... get some sleep

Thanks!

[PurpleScotch]

Great news!! Thanks Lusted!

Why some cavarly has so small charge ? 1 or 2.

[Lusted]

Why some cavarly has so small charge ? 1 or 2.

It is a way of reducing the very overpowered cavalry charges in M2TW where even light cavalry could destroy a unit of armoured sergeants in one charge.

Now light cavalry and secondary weapons for all cavalry have no charge bonus, and heavy cavalry have small charge bonus.

Heavy cavalry is still devestating and will wipe out most of a unit of sword infantry in a single charg,e but spearmen can now resist a cavalry charge.

Make sure you use merchants in LTC, they are crucial to your success.

[mr.blonde]

thank you very much Lusted, a quick question only are you using shaba's diplomacy 1.2 or 1.3 in the current version? i hope you have a nice weekend too

[Ghosty]

thank you lusted
and lusted
about adding the

unlimited_men_on_battlefield = 1

in the cfg file for lands to conquer seemed to work for your mod too as so far i don't have any "CPU UPGRADE msges" just thought u might want to know =D. Oh and do i have to restart a new campign to make use of your mod and the new patch?

[Commintern]

First of all, great job lusted.

Now, I want to ask something:

Does this version include Shaba Wangy's latest diplomacy improvements?

[Lusted]

Does this version include Shaba Wangy's latest diplomacy improvements?

Yes it does.

[Commintern]

Yes it does.

great! Im anxious to see all the things you change in this version.

P.S: Did you reduce the cost of cavalry?(cause Ive seen you lowered their charge to make them less overpowered)

[Lusted]

No, cavalry are still quite expensive due to the fact that they still dominate the battlefield even with their adjusted stats.
