Did you get a rebellion ? Why ?

Did you get a rebellion ? Why ?

Remember that TGC is a playable educational tool.
SO. You will have rebelions based on real historical events. Or if your King's authority will be too low to keep his generals loyal.
Also based on real historical events you will face rebelions, invasions, dynastic changes , relogion changes etc.

In my campaign bulgaria got a rebellion, so i noticed that bulgarian special trait about loyalty need a description.

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

I did get a rebellion a scripted rebellion that of the Kometouloi, a very significant and interesting event. I recommend reading about it. I love to know as much as I possibly can about a subject, I never can but

Edit: The Rebellion of the Frankish Dukes happened, unfortunately I had one of those unidentified CTDs so had to go back couple of seasons. However I have crushed two attacks in the Theme of Longobardia by Beneventum. Whilst the Domestikos continues to push back the Arabs in Syria

we have a system in the bulgarian faction that is pro or against the ERE. it depenmd on the diplomatic relation and the characters preference. both will give then bonus or malus, if the faction is at war or peace with ERE, dependeing on the character and the factionleaders habits.

[juventinopazzo97]

Allow me to make a suggestion : ERE thematic traits should be developed. After all ERE defence was based on thémata so why not adding more specific traits for characters ?

Specific trait for specific thema of course.

allow me to make an observation :
- IA seems to not handle very well expenses related to mercenaries

[The Despondent Mind]

Why can't I save my settings, they always get reset after I quit the game/

[juventinopazzo97]

Try to run the game as administrator, it worked for me.

At some point I'll write biographies for most characters.

[_Tartaros_]

ahh ok, that´s cool. i will replace with a placeholder then.

A little update, I switched positions of Konstantinos and Leo, after all Leo was next emperor
after Basil. Constantine died very young and didn't play any role in history...

So I finally reached over 100 turns in this mod, not due to the mods quality, but due to the CTDs. Its with the Franks, and I suffered a few CTDs I think around 20ish turn, which seems to happen with every faction thus far I played. With Franks I decided to re-load 3 turns back if necessary, but it wasn't.

I don't know about other factions, but population growth is definitely way too fast. It would be nice for future, if there was another faction in North Italy to spice things up between Venice, the Franks and Papacy.

I have seen some bizarre AI behavior. Lombard kingdom sent a full captain stack by foot all the way to Aulona, at first I thought they want to attack me or Venice, then Croatia, then Serbia so yes... A minor Croatian army did some weird maneuvers around my and Venice settlements, I forgot to follow it,the Tulunids have two fleets just sitting next to Sicily, Hungarians can't make up their mind with the Horde movement.

This

If you want to keep your settings then edit cfg file on mods/TGC. First thing I did was to turn up music and speech volume from 70 to 90.

thank you for the feedback. 100 turns is a good amount so far. this meens pechengs have spawned and magyars migrated. turn 20 see a change in CAI behavoir (savespace is gone) and many scripts like bogomils - this is most likely the reason for ctd.
a question: can you toggle_fow and scoll over the eastern part of the map - please check if there´s a map-scoll-ctd (most likely eszak-bug area and former magyars lands).

patch 3 will see some changes regarding public, trade, money and growth to make it harder for any faction. regarding the lombards/croatia/frankish expansion - this is interesting and definitly not intended. seems like some victory conditions might be the problem here. i will going to check this.

I did it, nothing happened.


Another thing, the forts having upkeep only for one unit, I don't know about that cause that makes me ignore them more, I see less and less incentive to conquer them or to garrison units, I don't get much by sending one inf. unit to a distant fort from my main settlement. Also would it be possible for FM to re-supply in forts?

[_Tartaros_]

thank you. that´s good.
this could mean the scroll map is somehow linked to horde steppe factions only when horde. wired... anyway, as this ctd is still random too

regarding the forts. i reduced the free upkeep in patch 002, because the player is stockpiling cash at some point. in patch 3 this will go up to 2 (maybe 3) free units per fort again, but instead other buildings in settlements will give less free upkeep. this is mainly to reduce the human player´s advantage against AI factions. i´ve also introducing a script in patch 003 to have a at least one governor in settlement (without, massive negative effects) for the human players - mainly to prevent generals stack armies.
