@Dennis Verbruggen: Version 098 is more stable and more complete than 097. I strongly advise you to install it !
For this, be aware that there is no longer an SS6.3 folder, but you will have to unzip SSHIP 098 in a folder named
SSHIP_098 (Respect the writing so that it is recognized by the mod's configuration file !)
This folder is not created when decompressing the .zip by default, which is why some players do not understand why their game does not launch.
Once the
SSHIP_098 folder is installed in the mods folder, you just need to find the
SSHIP 098 launcher.bat to launch the game.
@K_med2: Your experience is all the more interesting for me as I am currently pursuing a campaign with France, myself in VH/VH. I'm at 1186 and you could see my progress in the thread of screenshots/campaign maps.
What's good is that I didn't play the same way as you, remaining at peace with the English for a long time. The HRE began attacking me seriously around 1160 and has not granted a ceasefire until today, so it has been my constant adversary for 26 years !
That's what I like about this game: each campaign can be different even when using the same faction.
Flaws that I have not yet noticed and which seem to be demotivating for your campaign:
1 - be forced to go through the spy to capture a city because the pope threatens excommunication from the first round of siege
2 - the degradation of the royal family for lack of wars and the fact that the heirs are chosen by the sickest generals
3 - the inflation of the treasure to the point of no longer fearing any opponent
In my case, the battles follow one after the other (almost only against the holy empire) and prevent me from building. Almost all my money goes into recruiting units.
