[DOWNLOAD] SSHIP 0.98 ver. September 8th, 2022

[Belovèse]

Thanks a lot for the feedback and encouragements, I'm happing you're having fun!

[xxxMoRaVexxx]

Just wanted to say thank you to the creators and how good this mod is. I love the slow-paced campaign and the deep immersion playing with this mod.

I know this is just a beta (but very playable at that), but I am just wondering if there is any plan to reduce the killing-power of cavalry? Noticed currently that early-era spearmen disintegrates under a heavy cavalry charge. Is there any plans to address this in later versions?

Once again, thanks for this wonderful mod!

@xxxMoRaVexxx, @Konstantinos - upload your saves.

No, for the moment not, it already has been nerfed in the SSHIP. The infantry with shaft weapons of high and late eras fight much better against cavalry, and this turn of the tide is historical.

Turn 108 of my Leon campaign and no Jihad has been called. Crusades seem to be working fine. Called 2 myself, 1 by the pope.
Crusader states are doing fairly well, holding Jerusalem, expanding a bit even, now at war with Byzantine.

What is triggering the Jihad? Kind of dissapointed to see none.

also I need help with the crowning mechanic. If I interpret the picture right, I need to go to Toledo as Leon. But there is no possibility to build a cathedral (description says it is an required building). Do I need to convert it to a town first? Seems a bit counter-intuitive.

Me, I've got no idea.
btw, now, or once you're more advanced in your campaign, upload a save so that I'd add it to this entry.

Hey, here is the save, I played until turn 150, once I took Tunis, a Jihad was called against it. Unfortunately I never managed to get crowned. Anyways, it was a very enjoyable and balanced experience, the AI was very reasonable. At the endgame I wished I had set the difficulty to very hard, AI could not do anything anymore against the stacks, but I probably would not have survived the early game then.

Highlights:

- coordinated attack by Portugal and Aragon in the early game (backstabbing me)
- married heir to a muslim princess while on crusade, this made him a muslim himself and triggered a civil war once he was king
- war against HRE (they attacked me probably because AI considered me a threat at this point)
- crusader states holding their own
-one of the very rare times in (modded) Medieval II times I got kicked out of a region after conquering it in a crusade (Alexandria), I didnt send more support and couldnt hold it (uprising drove the armies out and they defeated me in open battle)

The historic events make you want to play longer, will definitely try again on very hard with a small faction again and try to go turn 200+.

Thanks for the mod!

[opaxite]

Turn 200 here. My Faction Leader, a 82-year old dreaded war veteran who used to make whole armies run has been completely senile for almost 20 years now. He insists on getting military education that he keeps forgetting the next turn. The whole family who used to celebrate and respect him now resents him deeply and prays for his demise. The princess I've been stalking to marry to my next heir has grown past child bearing age. 10 out of 10 experience, absolutely recommended.

[Fishmalk]

Played a good amount of France and Hungary, a bit of Serbia and Georgia on the September version, all VH/VH. Playing Pisa has spoiled me.

Apparent bugs:

• When playing as Serbia, capturing Zagreb from Hungary spawns a rebel 'resistance' army instead of a Hungary army.
• When playing as Serbia, I was unable to train a spy after taking Skodron which has a brothel. The settlement had a spy in the recruitment tab, but the game said I was at the agent limit despite not having any spies.
• The AI has trouble attacking Toulouse as a castle. In two sieges, defending as France vs AI HRE, the AI would not venture past the walls with more than a few of their units. The units assigned to ladders, siege towers, and the ram would attack but the rest would sit outside the walls until time ran out.
• When playing as France and as Georgia, missions that offered elite troops as a reward did not provide any units when completed despite owning Paris/Tbilsi.

Other feedback:

• Please move the 'Luxury Goods' trade good that is currently just to the right of Ragusa to slightly farther from the settlement. I have had merchants on the trade good get pushed into the settlement when moving armies into the settlement.
• Axe Militia are limited to one armor upgrade, while Spear Militia can get three armor upgrades. I think Axe Militia should also be able to get three.
• Slav Levies carry spears, but are classed as Light Infantry and have no bonus vs cavalry in their description.
• Saxons are classed as Light Infantry, but carry spears and have a bonus vs cavalry in their description. Also, their description notes they carry halberds, which the unit presently does not.
• The Georgian Msakhureuli Spearmen take just one turn to recruit, despite having stats and cost very close to Sergeant Spearmen. I think the Msakhureuli should have their recruitment time increased to two or three turns.
• Hungary receives Vlach Archers as their elite troops for completing missions. While effective, as a unit that is not hungarian and of their starting regions can only be trained in Zagreb, I am not sure they are entirely fitting. I think a unit that Hungary has wider access to, like Slav Levies or Slavic Javalinmen, would be more appropriate.
• Hungarian Landowners Guards in more settled regions give access to up to two Magyar Nobles, two Axe Mailed Foot Knights, and two Sword Mailed Foot Knights. I think the foot knights should be limited to one of each, since most factions are getting up to two of just one kind of foot knight instead of two.
• In the balkans, several mercenary units have a recruitment cost in line with units that are recruited normally from settlements and is much lower than is typical of mercenaries. This includes Slavic Javalinmen, Balkan Archers, and Bulgarian Mercenaries.
• Utrecht is unable to upgrade from a Town to a Large Town, which feels very strange given how many other regions are able to develop to that tier.
• The Byzantine AI on VH/VH seems nonsensically cavalier about attacking player Serbia, and will typically accept peace immediately. I think the AI in this situation should respect their alliance with Serbia more until the player has accumulated more threat.
• The general that spawns with the settlement 'resistance' armies has 0 loyalty, making them very prone to turning rebel. For a force that rose up to fight the invading enemy, I don't think this makes much sense.
• I think the 'underdog' bonus gold that certain weak factions like Serbia and Lithuania receive for having under three provinces should instead cut off at four provinces, because even with three these factions are still very weak and poor.
  
  • Serbia: At two provinces probably has Ras and Skodron. At three they have probably taken Vrhbosna. At this stage they are still much poorer and weaker than the neighbors they expect to fight early: Venice, Hungary, and Sicily. Having four provinces means Serbia has likely taken either Zagreb or Rascia, adding a considerable amount of income and production and giving them much better odds at fighting a neighbor.
  • Lithuania: At two provinces they will control Cernave and Goroden. At three they have probably also taken Riga, still leaving the faction nearly helpless against their neighbors Poland and Novgorod.

On the whole, I like the resistance armies spawning when taking a core faction region. Every major M2 mod has had to reckon with the tendency of the AI to leave settlements poorly garrisoned, and I prefer this solution to the garrison scripts many use instead. The player also benefits, which I think is fair given the intended difficulty of the mod and helps to serve as a bit of a speedbump when the player is on the ropes.

I also think that the CAI is quite good, by warscape standards. Major AI factions know their strength and will not accept peace just because they got suckerpunched by the player and lost a couple lightly guarded regions. Catholic factions will often but not always avoid excommunication, and will often but not always accept peace after being told by the pope to stop fighting. This bit of unpredictability keeps the AI from being too easy to abuse.

@Djangoo, how did Alonso Aquado got the Ibn Sina book (Al-Qanun)? Muslim book for a Christian general is possible, iirc, only upon a conquest of certain cities.



I've also noticed that you've got bonus to public order coming from "Religious expedition" (15%). How did you get it? (you don't own Jerusalem, maybe it was that success in crusade in Alexandria lingering?).

Besides, with VH you'd have a whole lot more problems with keeping order in the territories outside Iberian Peninsula (and perhaps even already in Al-Andalus). This should have been a bumper on the expansion.

Another question: what those 3 assassins are doing in Galicia?
It's interesting you've rebuilt Santiago into a castle and lost access to the cathedral... Why it was so? I think I'll just make a code providing it to both castle and city, I haven't thought somebody would sacrifice the it for additional recruitment. And additional 1% of growth could make Santiago a large town, opening the road to becoming a city...

- married heir to a muslim princess while on crusade, this made him a muslim himself and triggered a civil war once he was king

sounds really good for role-playing

[benczeb90]

Hi there. Quick question: Should I DISBAND landowner's units (elite units) when there's no need of them hanging around tanking my budget? (I just started my first campaign on VH/VH).
As in ... Is there a pool to which these units return and be available for recruitment immediately or next turn? Or is disbanding them like losing them in battle?
thx

EDIT: I'm sorry ... I had to test it AFTER I wrote this post. Typical. And yeah, it looks like it works like that. Off I go reloading my turn 1 save to disband these elite units.

[Jurand of Cracow]

Unfortunatelly, we don't have in the SSHIP the disbandment script, making the recruitment pools replenish. I wish we had.
Maybe you'd be interested in this reading.

Anyway, upload a save, if you'd play a game of the SSHIP. And choose wisely a faction beforehand, to have fun ;-)

[opaxite]

Is there a chance disbanded units will turn up later as rebels? Had two units of Woodsmen turn up in two different places not far from where I disbanded two units of Woodsment one or two turns before.

[Jurand of Cracow]

No, there's no such mechanism in Med2 engine, afaik.

Thank you for all these remarks, they will be useful to improve the game. I noticed a few things of the same order, for example I could not recruit a diplomat (Aragon) while Zaragoza had the building for it. The explanation was the same as yours: "agent limit reached"
Yet I no longer had a diplomat...
I believe @Jurand fixed the building, but it's possible other similar cases exist.

During my playthrough I also wondered how he got the book, it surprised me. He was never on a crusade and Im pretty sure it spawned on him directly. Let me load an older save when I am home.
The 15% probably comes from me conquering Tunis just 1 or 2 turns prior via crusade. Or because it is the target from Jihad? That would be a nice incentive to defend the jihaded settlement. I have a housrule of defedning the target of Jihad with at least 20 units, instead of just abandoning the region in question.
The three assasins murdered the former Portugese rebel-generals that spawned during an uprising, they were too strong and my generals could not keep up with them.
Question: will the rebels on very hard also attack AI settlements?
About Santiago: tbh I never bothered about the western part of the realm so much, my generals went to former muslim cities to keep them under control or to the east to fight or to boost some eastern/central cities into growing with chivalry. Therefore it had some lackluster growth and never went beyond a minor city. At some point I just more or less randomly converted it to a castle, with the vague idea in mind that in some point a naval attack could happen (very unlikely though, given AI tendencies).

and could you help me with the crowning requirement: if I read the map correctly I need to go to Toledo to crown a king. But Toledo doesn't have a catherdral (another requirement from description). So I tried converting Toledo to a city to build the cathedral, but never managed to do so in the end. I hope this is not the intended way, locking the crowning behind converting a castle to a city seems a bit counter-intuitive.

edit: found the answer to the crowning mechanic in the crown thread. Converting Toledo to a town, growing it to the next level and building the cathedral basically means that you will not be able to crown any king for a very long time, taking into account the growth needed, conversion time and building the cathedral. Your first faction leader will realistically never be king, even when conquering all the needed settlements. Is there any historical background for this, or only for balancing reasons?

[Jurand of Cracow]

When playing as Serbia, capturing Zagreb from Hungary spawns a rebel 'resistance' army instead of a Hungary army.

• When playing as Serbia, I was unable to train a spy after taking Skodron which has a brothel. The settlement had a spy in the recruitment tab, but the game said I was at the agent limit despite not having any spies.
• The AI has trouble attacking Toulouse as a castle. In two sieges, defending as France vs AI HRE, the AI would not venture past the walls with more than a few of their units. The units assigned to ladders, siege towers, and the ram would attack but the rest would sit outside the walls until time ran out.
• When playing as France and as Georgia, missions that offered elite troops as a reward did not provide any units when completed despite owning Paris/Tbilsi.

Zagreb works as intended due to historical reasons - only after some time it will be spawning Hungarian armies:

The AI tactical behaviour - it's the inheritance of the SS coding, we don't have anybody modifying it.
Missions is @Macaras business.
Utrecht is fixed for the next version.
Resistance armies generals - indeed, this is to be fixed, very much soon.
Underdog bonus - yes, it'll be available also for 3-province situations (ie canceled at 4).
Luxury Goods - thanks for the hint, it will be changed.
Axe Militia upgrade - @kostic business.
Slav Levies, Saxons, Mskhureuli et all - we indeed need to reivew it. All noted.

thanks again!

• When playing as France and as Georgia, missions that offered elite troops as a reward did not provide any units when completed despite owning Paris/Tbilsi.

I think the missions are fixed, in the updated version it should work properly.

Hi there, thankyou for your work on this great mod, it's brought me back to Medieval 2 after years.. I was wondering though, is their a sound file I could delete or replace to remove the end of turn sound effects?

Maybe some did adress this before, but when i played as the Zengid and i saved my game right before a battle my general died before the battle.
