Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod 5.0 - Steam compatible

[Urien]

This is normal and meant to stop players from pretty much curbstomping the AI (who needs the help badly). By itself it wouldn't be so bad if the troops spawned made sense and they got mercenaries or some cheap/ city units or at least stuff that's recruitable in the besieged settlement.

If it was any of that I'd be praising the system but instead it's bloody infuriating that after you had like 3 fights against the enemy AI your army is in shambles and your reinforcements which are a turn away are little better than peasants. Then the previously 100 strong peasant garrison turned into a 1k+ garrison full of elites when you have a quarter stack left of semi professional troops after your armies had been brutalized.

A way I've seen to avoid this is to have some enemy stack in the vicinity of the settlement but not close enough to actually help.

Oh ok ...that makes sense.
I normally play Stainless Steel and have never come across the AI being compensated this way. But i guess playing on H/H difficulty you would expect the campaign to be well.....hard.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Virian.

I think this script is only for the important cities, like Dublin. Also, there is another that pretty much deletes the garrison script.

[bphl98]

can somebody upload no garrison script ?

How do I compress the log file when using 7Zip?

Right click the file and choose one of the '7zip\add to..' options.

[sullivanclan1]

Now how do I post the compressed file to this forum?

[Gigantus]

You can attach it via the 'advanced edit' options (click the 'go advanced' button in the edit window, bottom right) or upload it to a service like mediafire and then link it here.

I hope this works for you Gigantus!

[Gigantus]

It appears you are having a major problem: 15:58:53.851 [data.invalid] [error] REGIONS_DB::Colour(33,100,131) does not exist in this map_regions.tga

While I have never seen this message before it clearly refers to an issue between descr_regions where all the regions are listed and map_regions, the graphics of the region allocation. The above error line repeats for every region so I am assuming it's an installation issue.

Did the file verification return any errors when you installed? I would recommend to delete the mods\kgcm folder and re-install. Make sure the installer points to the main directory of medieval 2 - it should do so on it's own, but just make sure.

[sullivanclan1]

I am using the kgcm 3.0 4.1 4.2 and 4.3 with a submod. Should I uninstall then reinstall along with the submod?

[Gigantus]

I am not conversant with those versions, but I would suggest to re-install. Which sub mod are you using?

[sullivanclan1]

kgcm jedi knight!

[Gigantus]

The submod contains a map.rwm for unknown reasons as there are no new supporting files. Delete the file in the data\world\maps\base to force the generating of a new one based on the original files.

[sullivanclan1]

alright! I will see what happens when I do that.

Hello
I used to play KGCM in the past but if i want to play with version 5.0 i have to download the previous versions before
Sorry if my question is silly but i really have years to play this mod and i really forgot how to install it

[Gigantus]

Version 5.0 is a stand alone - you do not need any previous versions.

[mel the greek]

Thanks
I have installed version 5.0 and the patch without any problem but at the first end turn, game constantly crushes.
It happened at every campaign i started with 5 different factions.Why this is happening?

[Gigantus]

That is curious, so far I haven't heard of problems like this, so it could be related to your system. Please try the suggestions here.

[mel the greek]

I unistalled version 5.0 and i decided to download 4.3 which i manage to play with changing the name files in the mods folder
For some reason everything works fine in this version
I will try again with version 5.0 but i think that maybe i made something wrong in the installation and i did not get it
Thanks for the help anyway

[Gigantus]

This is surprising, after all the installation is Steam compatible. But then it started apparently as you got the selection screen.

Did the file check complete without errors?

Please check if you have an entry in Steam's custom launch option: right click the game in the Steam library and select 'properties', then click on the launch option button and remove any entry.

[mel the greek]

I reinstalled version 5.0 and i change the name files in mods folder like 4.3 version
Everything works fine and i did not face any crush
Probably i had made a mistake in installation and my game recognize the file only as an expansion
