I'm using the Mod Manager tool and your mod isn't showing up. All other mods show up fine except yours. I've no idea why, can you help me?

Ok now it's showing up and I can choose to activate the parts. When I press "Start" a window pops up saying that your mods are out of date, even though they're not. If I click "Ignore" the game starts up but gets stuck in the white splash screen. I tried a bunch of other mods like Constantine Rise of Christianity and DeI and they're working perfectly. Has this been updated to the latest patch?

My mod works fine! Try to subscribe to whole my collection and disable all other mods.

Do I need the Gold Unit Compilation, Sebidee's units and the Music mod too? I only downloaded parts 1 - 7.

I've also disabled absolutely all mods except yours.

Oh my god I'm so stupid. Now I downloaded the unit things too and it works! Soo sorry!

You exactly need Gold Unit Compilation and Sebidee's units!

[arrahik]

Since I realised my stupidity and fixed the game I've been playing only your mod and I gotta say - I absolutely love it! Even more than DeI! This is just what I needed to get me back into Rome 2. I love how there are tonnes of fully fleshed out factions to choose from. Thank you so much for making this mod!

[Starsmil]

So, guys, any critics on my mod or everything just fine?! Don't feel humble to write here! I need some more feedback and reviews from such respected forum!

[Express777]

Hello.
Sorry for my bad english
I will try to explain why I deleted mod after 8 hour gameplay.

First I download mod + submod for soft diplomacy.
You warned play on normal level, but I start on very hard Ceasar in Gaul campaign, Arverni.
In start I have about 22000 population. I start war with neighbors. It was hard to fight, but very fun. New morale system is awesome, new units looks great! After each battle I lose about 50-65% warriors. After replenishment, the people wasted away, also I need recruit new mens, also each turn lose 200-300 population(VH level debuf). After 15 turn realized that have about 6000 population. No more new units. war is over.

Second I start on normal level. mod + submod soft diplomacy.
+200 population each turn, difficulty level +. After turn 30 captured several regions, AI is passive, no elite units, no elite buildings, mass cheap units, game is boring.


Summary what I liked
+ morale system is awesome
+ new units great
+ recruit time is longer standart unit 2-3 turn
+ garrison system
+ walls on minor cities. not tested yet, but sounds great

minus
- people of rome script, I think it's just an annoying system, stoping fun system, great battles thousand vs thousand, army vs army. Can you make it like submod? Switch on\off in mod manager.
- building system. no elite buildings Why? elite buildind have greate debuf on public order. You just cant build hidh level buildings. Food given building - 8 on PO, public order giving building(forum or temple) +4 on PO. I think it disbalanced
- very disbalanced edicts. I just dont use them. For example Nordos edict good balanced https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil...t=nordos+edict

thats all .
However I think mod is great, some polish and it will be better than Rad.......

[Starsmil]

@Express777, Ok man! I will make sub-mod with no population. But many gamers play on Very Hard in REM and they expand ok. Of course it depends of faction you play! Food and public order balance is hard but ok - you need to adapt to it (especially on hard levels).
Will check Edicts Mod! But i think my edicts are just close to life (no magic buffs, u know). Regards!

[Express777]

Thanks!
I look forward to submod PoR. After release will continue playing and testing.


look forward tolook forward toloolook forward to

[Starsmil]

Added new Sub-mod! No population!

You can use Nordos edict mod with REM (I tested)! But i think its quite overpowered..

Hurrah!

About gameplay.

I start play as Massilia faction.Conquered centrall and north Gauls, begin to conquer Britain. And I cant hire 3 and 2 tier level units in Barbarian lands, only available unit is Gallic Swordsman (auxiliary, 42 morale, 1 tier unit). No hoplites, no high level barbarian auxiliary. Is it gameplay feature? or bug?

The only way is:
1. Make satrapies
2. Hire from satrapies

[Starsmil]

Express777, This is called AOR! I fixed recruitment bug for Massilia!

4. Now more armor types have bonus against arrows.
5. Added new effect to public order - replenishment rate.
6. Barbarians now able to recruit large ballistas only in Hellenic lands.
7. Now you can play all factions in Multiplayer Coop campaigns.

Thank you for all of your work and commitment to historical and realistic gameplay. That is what I look for in a mod.

I have tried downloading and playing but it will not run. Rather than me guessing what patch is compatible with your mod my suggestion is to clearly state what your mod is compatible with to play.

AAs soon as you list what I need to play your mod I will try it.

Thank you again for your dedication.
