Athanasios' Attila Ultimate Fixes

[Athanasios55]

Since I made a thread for my Rome 2 mod, let me present the whole package




Let me start by saying that the game's data is a chaos of errors, mistakes and missing info. The first bug I fixed was some missing unit sets that were quite important. What I saw there and afterwards was that Attila himself entered the tables and let loose his Huns inside.


Bugs are my obsession. I paid for a game that is supposed to work. When I realise these bugs could have been so easily fixed by the developers, but instead they prefer to release rushed new content with even more bugs and then just abandon the game and force us to fix it in order to have fun....I get furious.


List of bugfixes. This list will not get updated.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Misc. fixes
1) Fixed the Hull Strength bonus of the Carpenter building: correctly applied as an equipment upgrade (the building must be in a port City)
2) Fixed tne missing seasonal effects of Insulae Orientalis and Insulae Occidentalis

Many many many thanks to all the people who reported, commented, criticized or simply straight up helped me with the mod. I also want to express my respect for all the modders who worked on the game's bugs before I even knew the game existed. I chose to not make a compilation of other people's mods, instead I created every single table and VMDs myself, according to the philosophies I follow. This can be easily be proven, for example I used different types of shield bosses for the VMDs that didn't have one or most tables were created with the assembly kit and left them unfragmented.

When I get the time I will review the whole mod, replace some unfragmented tables with fragmented ones to improve compatibility, search for mistakes of mine and remove some possibly non needed changes that could be in a different mod.

Next update? When I hopefully manage to fix the faction trait of WRE (-2% upkeep for every non roman unit) that DOESN'T WORK
