    The only problem is the rebels guys. Zey are outta control. I love the passive religion thing and that swordsmith upgrade to missile units is sexy.

    Which rebels specifically?

    Default Re: Tsardoms Total War - Version 2.0 Release

    I mean any of them. The Cyprus has 14 stacks already. I think we need to limit their recruitment. Near Varna there are 7 stacks. CAI cannot handle them, Timurids will run in fear when they see it! I am at turn 112 with Genoa and Golden horde did not siege Caffa they offered peace at turn 5.

    Thank you for this. I can't seem to get it into full screen I've changed the resolution and everything but nothing changes. And in settings it's still showing version 1.05.

    Maybe adding a more aggresive AI would help too? Like the one the Stainless steel use. EB2 AI is notouriuosly not aggresive and never deals with rebel stacks. I think SS AI is over aggresive, sure, but it atleast attacks often and does not stand arround their settlements. Love how you dealt with Aydinid island-hoping problem. They expanded quite well but still I think AI should get atleast some financial support. Serbia is dominating in my campaign. Ottomans did almost nothing to the Byzantines. So Romans doing well enough. In previous version Trinacria used to crush Naples, now it is other way arround lol. Duchy of Athens got thrown out of their settlements in Greece, now there stands about 6 stacks of rebels.

    @bordinis. you are a machine if you are already at turn 112. Those rebel stacks sound very weird and are not intended, not sure why they appear. The rebel AI doesn't really act like a normal faction with recruitment and building.

    Jurcek will have to confirm but we use ReallyBadAI which I am pretty sure is the same AI used by Stainless Steel. But there are so many variances in the AI behaviour its almost impossible to predict what the AI will do. Even small things like roads and pathfinding can impact the AI. For example, you mention the Aydinid island hopping but as far as I know we didn't do anything different to the Aydinid AI compared to the previous version.

    This is my favourite mod why should I stop playing it 24/7.. Anyway Aydinids do not bug out because Jurcek removed the islands, sure Rhodes are still a brain savant for AI to reach by land lol but island hoping and standing is gone. Yeah I think rebels should only recruit like 1 unit each 10 turns so a restriction is needed on them. The reason so many rebel stacks roam on the map is also the AI passivity, it never attacks rebels at all and vice versa. Not sure is it EB2 AI or the one SS use that is very aggresive but this one really loves peace and blocking a port and the next turn ask for peace

    Someone has to be annoying like me for the sake of the mod I want peaople to have a decent experience

    You are not annoying at all. On the contrary your feedback is super important.

    Btw has anyone try the new viglei hippeis? I haven't yet since i don't buy them yet but they have 15 charge which more than greek general bodyguard and noble and equal to kavallairoi lancers so i was wondering if they are more effective than their lore status as milita cavalry would implied.

    Edit : Yeah viglei hippeis are pure shock cavalry, it's charge are powerful enough to rout infantry that is not elite but die very quickly once engaged in melee

    Yeah the music pack is not compatible with the current version yet so please avoid it. Well your crash is odd, I tried transferring the ancillary twice to other characters without issue. Is the crash recurrent if you try again?
