DEVELOPMENT DISCUSSION & COMMENTARY (Share, comments, questions, and sugestions)

[gary]

Hello new to this mod, must say excellent attention to detail, immersion. I had a question or two, does AI France automatically have the revolution? Or is there something I can do to make that happen, I would just like things to go along as historically as possible.
Which brings me to another question, is there something that can broaden and strengthen the various Native Americans - not so much to be a power, but not to be an overlooked pushover in the Ohio valley.
Another point is it possible for Native Indians to respawn (within reason) and to have more 'rebel' indians causing 'trouble' along the frontiers. .
On another point I wonder if it would be possible for certain states, i.e. Britain and Prussia to hire 'Hessians', Britain in European conflicts, especially called upon German states and Hanoverians- well, that's not strictly true at all but you know that I am sure. I cannot seem to add extra unit mods from the submod forum, its the mod switch I'm sure. How does one go about doing that, its the British units mod, trying to find Native tribes, found Bourbons just dont know how to get them to work.
I should be grateful for the magnificent work you have achieved. Many a week/month shall be spent campaigning.

I am playing as France and i think the first Revolution happens in 1786-ish then the second 88, I've not reached 1792 as of play but I assume it is a triger for a far larger revolution.

That wpould make sense historically the Assemblée nationale was government after the tennis court oath, yes 1792 fall of monarchy rise of the ironic sounding Société des Jacobins, amis de la liberté et de l'égalité.
I'm at 1792 playing as United Kingdom, great campaign so far. I would like a few more regimental diversity but cannot have everything.

yes, that would be nice to have a bit more diversity, perhaps like AOR in DEL where you can recruit local regiments in the same way England recruited Hessians. So if you take a region say like Saxony you could recruit Saxon line.

That AOR indea sounds great, but I do not like idea of conquests and 'this faction is destroyed' message. Granted, some states, in the HRE came and went swallowed by the larger ones that grew in stature ie Brandenburgh.
From that AOR perspective would it be possible to bring in a R2TW feature of subjugation? Allowing dominate faction to recruit troops from that state (As later would Napoleon)
However, certain small states within states Hesse-Hanau, Hessen-Kassel literally rented their armies Britain, not having a large standing conscript army, plus not liking to engage in continental affairs. Payed others, sunsidies to the Prussians, Dutch and Austrians etc and payed for 'Hessian' troops, plus at times a Hanoverian contingent as at Flanders.

(Please excuse grammer spelling etc for some reason as I write it is overlaying, so I cannot see a thing?
I was thinking of whatever unit regimental diversity mods- within time frame- despite uniforms in British army changing every two years, however subtly.

An AOR system will be introduced in the next version. However we can not ad diplomatic possibilities. That seems to be sadly hardcoded. And the French revolution isn't scripted. When its happens is chance.

Thank you for your answers. I wonder is there a way to make the French revolution happen? As to the recruitment of so called Hessians there are unit mods, but whenever I add then they fail to show up Pleases do not misunderstand I love the units currently available perhaps I am greedy.

So if the Hessians don't show up in the campaign but in custom battles that's because new building chains were added (which will be removed in the next version). And no problem Furthermore spreading unrest with envoys helps to trigger the French Revolution. Do things like destroying happiness buildings etc.

Love the follower icons you made, Quintus. They have a lot of character, and fit in well with the graphical style you have established in the mod

Hello, i love your mod. I have a question: could you fix the french colonies in ROTR, because it's impossible to recruit units in them.

This will be fixed in the next update.

I have a question, how did you find the terrain graphics from Napoleon into campaign. I can’t seem to find any campaign terrain in napoleon’s files. If you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Sorry, but I can not as the graphics were changed by the previous team. You can still use our files if you wish.

[OreoMan32]

No, but do you know anyone who can?

[Quintus Hortensius Hortalus]

No, but do you know anyone who can?

Sadly none that is still active. But it might be stored in the same location as in Empire as Napoleon is by design an updated Empire.

[OreoMan32]

do you know where in empire then it is located?

[Quintus Hortensius Hortalus]

IIRC: main.pack\effects\campaignmap.xml.

Truly one of the best looking mods for Empire. Your attention to detail and respect for history knows no bounds. Keep up the amazing work, especially with those minor factions in the Holy Roman Empire.

Sorry if I am disturbing you, one last question.

I was actually looking for default_campaign_environment.environment in the directory NTW [rigidmodels.pack - rigidmodels-skybox]. It seems theere the campaign skybox is a .lighting file each for 4 seasons instead of one for 2 seasons like in empire. But your mod somehow has napoleon default_campaign_environment.environment for the skybox. I was hoping you could put me on the right path of finding the default_campaign_environment.environment in Napoleon Total War. Or if the .environment file was custom made if you could tell me that. I have spent hours turning Napoleon's .pack files and campaign_maps files in search of this one file.

Is there a PFM I can use for Empire? I tried an old one, think it was for Rome, with this one I can open files but all the data_base are greyed out, locked bu the looks of it, anyway I can tinker with the db_ files? Thanks. Look forward to the next update.
