Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod 5.0 - Steam compatible

[sullivanclan1]

could you create a submod where there are new units for each faction with new settlements?

That's probably too big a project now.
The main aim of the Mod was to add all the factions from the Kingdoms mods and as many units as possible to the basic Grand Campaign.
Not sure if we've reached the max for settlements or units, but maxing them out, like Stainless Steel does, tends to push the official game engine too far.
V5.0 of this mod is stable and playable, can still be tweaked to make minor gameplay improvements but I doubt anyone is around who could undertake a major change to the maps or units.
(That said it might be possible to add some more units - if there is less than 501 in the EDU then it's possible.)

A region fertility value of 6 or 7 is pretty high, as it's the base value for pop growth calculations it will accelerate it very fast. Only Caro in vanilla had 6, and that resulted in really fast growth, and remember: that was 2 years per turn.

Region count = 195 of 200. Not sure how many water regions are there (each colour counts as region) so it should be considered maxed out.
Unit count = 498 of 500. All in use, not advisable to add the last two.

We are waiting a fix for all known but little bugs. I hope this fix comes very soon.

Hi Gigantus, I have a small suggestion.

I wanted to suggest, as much as possible, to slightly expand the hiring of troops for the Templar and Hospitaller Orders in Catholic countries.
At the first level are available sergeants; on the second sergeants and crossbowmen; on the third sergeants crossbowmen and knights.

If people can list some of the smaller bugs that would be useful.

Some of the design features don't work very well.

There's minor things like the Teutonic Order having princesses which they wouldn't have had.

But the major problem is sorting out the Dates.
In this mod they are all over the place.

The Mongols and Teutonic Order have territory in 1180 but they wouldn't have had them until about 1230.
There's various units that are available in 1180 that didn't appear until nearly 300 years later.
The New World is discovered n 1196 (in the current play through I'm doing)
Lithuania adopts christianity in 1199, a mere 200 years too early
The Black Death appears way too early etc.
Gunpowder units can be recruited the day after gunpowder is discovered.
and so on.

There are historic characters in the game who are right for the 1180 start and it's easier to change the descr_strat allocation of factions/regions than to completely re-do family trees.
But it would mean making the Mongols and the Teutonic Order non-playable.

Dates can be fixed once there's agreement on start date.

Some of these things are just how the game works . The creator of the mod would had already changed these things if he wanted to do so . If you want you can create a sub-mod though . After all, i don't think this mod was aiming to be the most historically accurate in dates .

True.
The mod looks like it has merged all 4 kingdoms mods into the original mod with little regard as to how they relate to each other.
Would take a complete overhaul to sort it all out.
And we already have Stainless Steel that does that.

There's so few people playing these mods on M2TW that it's not really worth the time to sort out a proper start date or region / faction allocation.

Addressing the bits and pieces I copied to the second post is still on my agenda, RL is putting some brakes on it however.

[crazyroman]

For Gigantus: The unit Mailed Knights for the faction Wales has some problems with their shields .

Appreciate the heads up - but that is misaligned texture, not something I am an expert in. One of the multiple shields on that model hasn't been aligned properly, apparently it got moved half up or down the texture graphic.

I am afraid I won't be attending to that.

[sullivanclan1]

Gigantus... What other mods are you working on?

[Gigantus]

German one at the moment: Regnum Coelis

[sullivanclan1]

Thanks for helping me earlier... I figured out what the problem was. I appreciate the help!

[Gigantus]

Could you then please post your solution here? It will help others (and me) to solve similar problems.

mongol halbs and the swords from norwegian gotland footman
still have texturbugs =(

[Jorlaan]

I don't know about other factions, but when i upgraded my infantry building as Scotland it no longer included older unit types, so I lost the ability to train or retrain them, and with only 1 available of the new type...well it basically ended the game.
It does seem as though other buildings may also lose older unit types when upgraded.
This can't be intentional?

Hi there, when I click the download link I just get a blank page. Is the link broken or could it be something my end?

[skischoow]
