V3 Xmas Beta

[midterm360]

Tu es français? Je m'excuse mon poilitess, vous êtes français?

 

[Ozzmosis]

Je ne pense qu’il est français, car il connait bien Docteur Qui , et (si je souviens correctement) son vrai nom est Jason). French GCSE FTW !

 

[TheFirstONeill]

Bon Dieu, non, et demandant un Anglais français qu'elle cause juste pour un duel

 

[The Holy Pilgrim]

Je ne parle pas francais

At least, not well. I don't even know if the sentence I wrote is correct

 

[Ozzmosis]

Quelle dommage!! Selon toute probabilité, vous avez utilisé un traducteur-automatique, et donc, votre francais est, (il faut dire) completement abominable!

 

[The Holy Pilgrim]

Actually, I am taking french class

I just forgot how to say I don't speak french well

Je ne parle pas bien le francais

 

[midterm360]

J'ai parlé la français depuis la maternelle dans le programme scholaire de l'immersion françaises, mais je suis au coeur anglophone. And for that reason i'm bringing us back to English

 

[Julianus Flavius]

I don't know french at all so I don't know anything about what was just said, BUT I AGREE ANYWAY. TO EVERYONE. Even if your opinions are contradictory

 

[The Holy Pilgrim]

Midterm was saying that he has been taught french since kindergarten I believe

 

[midterm360]

They were all basically going on about how they can speak french basically, TFON wanted a duel over something to do with being both french and english, THP said he cant speak french very well and Ozz was shocked that THP may have used an auto translating tool like google then THP talked about how he is taking classes( but I think that part is in english). And yes I said i've been speaking it since kindergarden but I am at heart a person who uses the english language. That is the basic low down JF

 

[The Holy Pilgrim]

And I only used a translator to understand what the heck you guys were talking about.

 

[Jovanicus]

Both of them have 30 men to them, and I think generals units are far better then pistoleers, since they auto heal and have 2 HP, I think pistoleers should have 60 men to them, it would make them much more effective and useful!

However the Reich have almost no calvary that I like... makes me sad...

 

[The Holy Pilgrim]

Silly Jovanicus, there is no need for horses, you have guns!

 

[Karnil Vark Khaitan]

The Reich is a nice empire related ^^

Hey i just want to say this an awesome mod

BUT there is something i noticed. I got a ctd while testing the hotseat mode right after I clicked end turn for the Gaelic nations. I looked at the log and I pooed just a little bit when i saw all the error logs. Its nothing I cant fix myself and i know it's in the beta stage but I just figured i would drop by and tell you.

If your curious to know what was in the log here it is:

C'est vrai qu... Oups... It's true Faustian reich bodyguards lack punch both at range and in melee. But they're safe, as they do skirmish, so you won't have your general killed stupidly in a melee.

Nothing scary there, did the game reload from the save file ?

 

[GrumpyBean]

No it didnt...

 

[Julianus Flavius]

Thanks for saying what everyone was talking about
I like the reich bodyguards. They look more like a 'general's' bodyguard rather than a 'warrior's' bodyguard, the general would not want to get into combat and would prefer to direct his troops from a safe distance.

 

[Beggar]

I was wondering if you had plans to make huge unit size more... huge? Right now on that setting most factions seem to have max. 150 men or so. The limit on the other hand is around 250 I think.

 

[Highi]

I have been playing the faustian reich for a while, and I sieged a rebel city (I think it was Corelia) together with my allies, the Ducado de Sangre Valiente. They sally out, but when I try to fight the battle, the game at some point crashes. I don't know if there was an error log, but maybe someone could tell me where to find that?

 

[toluas]

There should be a folder called logs in your main MTW2 folder.

Random Preview screenies

Accidentaly showing the new units

Anyway, great job team !

 

[Jean=A=Luc]

TFON, I was just wondering about your conception of the Faustian Reich? Despite being Christian are they supposed to be "at odds" with the Pope (a black sheep among Christians)? Does the Pope hate technology/science?

Afaik you can't make the Pope or his Muslim counterpart call a crusade on a nation of the same faith but does the FR have penalties to relations with other Christian factions (or at least the Pope), is this something you've been working on or thinking about? Do they have a decent chance of being excommunicated?

There is a value that can be added to buildings "pope_(dis)approval 1/2/3/etc." that can make the pope like you more or less once the building's completed. I think only churches use it in vanilla though I'm not sure.

Maybe the Reich could have some "science" buildings with health bonuses (hospitals etc.) or further bonuses to gunpowder/artillery units (workshops making refined gunpowder for example) which when built would lower Pope's approval so the Reich player has to decide whether to limit his tech or risk the Pope's wrath.

I know how to make buildings but I'm not very good with buildings icons and the whole visual aspect. In any case, just a thought.

 

[Julianus Flavius]

That is true and a good idea, and it would balance out the reich steamrolling everyone with their pikemen (Expecially the RBC, who have lots of cavalry)

 

[Astor]

If this question may seem inappropriate, I apologize beforehand. Since this is a Beta, what's left to come in the full release? Will you work on the UI or add some scripted and/or historical events? I know you've reached the unit cap so it can't be new units.

 

[Highland Kelt]

Is this Beta V3 a stand-alone Beta or do I need to have V2 installed first ?

(Just downloading the V3 Beta now.... I'll try it see if it works)

 

[Jean=A=Luc]

It's stand alone, just like that "complex" things.

 

[Highland Kelt]

OK Thanks. Wasnt that long haired tennis player one of you lot?

I don't find the Faustians overpowered as an IA, my numerous games (10 or more) have never seen them reach a position of dominance in their region. They have a really tought neighbourhood, and seem to have problems with the Inquisition.
