Thread: Once More with Feeling - The Road to 3.0

    @4zumi

    Now I played as Norway, and the Berserkers are not that great of a unit I am afraid to say, I used them in a 1v1 match against Town Militia both units upgraded fully, and the Town Militia one hands down. And knowing Berserkers were around since 100AD and so on and having them continue to fight in 1080AD is like yea, that idea needs an update or phased out completely.

    But as I played I thought, why not make two unique melee units for Norway if they convert back to Paganism, and these two I figured would be Knights of Odin basically a re-skinned Danish Obudshaer, that these units wear wolf cloaks like the Berserkers. Another unit I had in mind would be Sons of Thor, a Re-skinned Venetian heavy infantry unit with war hammer and shield but also have winged helmets or horned helms like the Ritterbruder of the Teutonic Order, but that's just me and me throwing ideas out there lol

    I reworked the Berserkers a bit. It is best to regard them as shock cavalry on foot now.

    I do not have another free unit slot, so no new units. And I like my Berserkers and will keep them. I think the rework fits a bit better now.

    @all

    This is the end, my only friend, the end...

    While I was busy working and I got a bit distance to working on TVB I realized it is finished. From 2.999 to 3.0, there are some small changes (mostly balancing and other minor stuff), but if I look at it completely it is done now for me.
    As a last step I will now conduct a few AI only tests and wrap everything up.
    You can expect the 3.0 release, if everything goeas as planned, in the next two weeks. Most likely on or before a weekend.

    So stay tuned...

    Right from the testing ground (Very Hard, AI Only).

    Example one - or "I have no idea how they managed that"

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 




    Example two - or "No Party is like a Mongol Party, because a Mongol Party never stops..."

    No, I am not
    I may tone down the financial boost the mongols get, when the invasion message comes around.

    Meanwhile I made a countertest on "normal", which this mod is balanced around and got this result (this seems more reasonable. Still a big Mongol Blob, but more reasonable on normal.):

    And another AI only test example in hard settings.

    As far as I can tell, everything works like it should.
    So you may maybe maybelline get your hopes up for an early release.
    I have only two minor things on the list right now and a humongus 3.0 release post to write.

    So, keep an eye out on the weekend for the forum here.

    will you do anything to make every faction start with only one province or no ?

    Nope, I am not planning to do this. I will leave this to a submodder, if anyone is willing to do that.
    Nonetheless you are right, that this variant could be interesting.

    I tested a bit around and for the moment and most likely for the final release they will stay as they are. A menacing threat for everyone who does not manage to wipe them out in the first 60 turns.

    haha, you have learned a useful german word
    Thanks and you may see the effort tomorrow. Until then good look with the polishing

    @shogun

    You dont need that mega sync app as far as i know (I just tried this, because the kitten in the other thread suggested jusing this). you just have to uncheck the box before download. And this mega is megaupload (more or less).
    But for everybody who does not trust mega or is annoyed by the message that firefox can not handle the decrypting I give you a second donwload link from my good old medifire account.

    Indeed, mega sync isn't needed to download a file from mega, but some people seem to have troube downloading from this site anyway, something I didn't know either, maybe because of some locations issues? Mediafire or google drive seem more universal.

    Anyway, congratulation for getting at the end of the road, Azumi. (if this is the end)

    IIRC Mega tend to give something like bandwidth? Like when you download too much it restricts your download lol


    @4zumi
    I like spelling it, alongside blyat. It just flows better than the traditional

    I found it really hard to continue polishing the map, not because I steamroll but I tend to start over again mid game. Skyrim, M&B, etc all suffers the same when it comes to me getting bored mid game

    thanks a lot
    for the moment this will be definively the end of the road for total vanilla beyond

    @cokjan
    yeah, i think that every total war game is plagued by the mid game fatigue, when you can not really lose anymore. I myself have more than once restared a campaign to get the "now it begins" feeling again.

    Yep, been playing Medieval 2 since like 2009? When I was still a boy and still haven't tried playing as France, Russia, Sicily, etc ? I just kept coming back to England, Moors, and Egypt

    Anyways, congratulation for the release mate!
