basically, I have finished the skins for the Hephthalites, the Huns, the Visigoths, and the Ostrogoths. the Persarmenians will be using Sassanid skins w/ retextures until further notice, I will be working on the other Germans now, Alemanni, Burgundii, Lombardi, Vandali, and they may share a lot of skins between them, the map seems to be OK, its just a matter of getting these units in-game so a release next month is definitely not out of the questionQuote:

One question--I may have asked this before but forget where i place it (which forum link)--How do I speed up the movement? I can hotkey "P" for Pause, but with the new GUI I cannot figure out how to go to double or triple speed.:dizzy2:
Also, how about throwing in a cool shortcut desktop icon? :idea2:
Ctrl + 'T' :2thumbsup:Quote:

Hi Ramon_Gonzales_y_Garcia;
Thanks for your mod.It seems so good.I've got just one mod for my RTW(XGM) and I'm looking for another good and historically acurate mod ,Especially for BI.According to this thread ,I want have your mod ,But I'm waiting for its full version to come.
I just have some suggestion for Sassanids in your mod and the reason is the fact that while Persians where one of the main powers in the era Noone pay attention to them (Seems I am the only one):no: ,I saw some people even call them "Another Barbarian Faction in the east~:confused:".Fortunately ,It seems moders are more aware about historical facts ,So I post them just for sure.
1-First of all ,In one of your posts in this thread which contains information and some pictures of each faction ,In picture about "Sassanids" there were two Sassanid heavy cavalry there ,One armed with spear and shield and one with spear and bow ,But one of the Sassanids important units are "Clibinarii" Or Heavy Cavalries armed with mace and bow.I have a pic who shows one of these Cavalries and if you want I can post it there.
2-In the original RTW:BI (And v1.6) ERE Clibs are more powerful compare to Sassanid one :furious3: .I found it out by chosing one ERE Clibinarii against one Sassanid Clib or Cata or even Clibinarii Immortal and the result was the defeat of Persian Cavalry.I tried some times and the results were the same (you can do it by yourself).Persian were the first one who used Heavy Cavalry(I mean this type) in the field of battle and then during Parthians and Sassanids Reign They chose them as their main force.I don't know according to which source ,CAs decided that Roman Clibs (Or Catas) are better and if you show me somthing to prove this ,Then I will appreciated. I don't say that Sassanid Clibs were better ,But I think atleast they should be same in power.
3-In BI ,The title of roman faction leaders changed to for example "Augustus" for ERE Factin leader .But CA didn't use the same way for Sassanid(Persians) Faction leaders.As you probably know ,All persian emprors-From Achaemenids to Sassanids- have been called "King of Kings" Or "Shahanshah" ,So It will be more historical if you use this title for them.
Note:Sassanid queens had the title of "Banebshenan banebshen" Or "the Queen of Queens".
4-In the original BI ,There are only two office title for Sassanids ,"Mobadan Mobad" and "Eran Spahbod".But there were manny more of them and Sassanids used them like "Vuzorg (Bozorg) Farmadar" ,"Shahrdar" (depends on area) and ... I hope you add these two to original game titles:
Poshtikban Salar: Head of royal guard
Payygan Salar: Chief of infantry division
Savaran Sardar: Head of cavalry division
You can find online source about ancient persia and especially Sassanids."wikipedia" is very good.~;)
In the end ,Thank you very mutch for your efforts on this mod.I'm sure the end result will be great with good historical accuracy.

there are clibinarii in IBFD, I only posted two cavalry units as the sassies are AR's work and I just wanted to show what are available.Quote:

I don't know how to enable this, it might be hardcodedQuote:

sometimes historians also have conflicting theories ans sometimes the facts are very sketchy, but we strive to do what we can and still keep the game interesting :2thumbsup:Quote:

Hi dear Ramon_Gonzales_y_Garcia;
Thanks for your response.You're remaking nearly all factions in details ,And I can understand how difficult is it ,So appreciate you so mutch.Among my suggestion ,It seems only King's title (King of Knigs) is still a problem.There are plenty of other good moders in community ,And maybe they know how to change it ,If you want even I can post it in mod discussion (Although I'm not moder).
I hope you be successful

why don't you visit the official forums and discuss there w/ some people who are working on IBFD http://ibfd.modnet.info/forums/index.php?act=SC&c=2 , :2thumbsup: we always welcome suggestions and see what we can accomplish.Quote:

Im fighting a loooong and boring war against the eastern empire and im sick about it. They keep coming wave after wave and no matter how many loses they get they keep coming. Im trying everything to make peace but no...they want to keep fighting.
Im bored i dont want to fight against the ERE, at least not now, there MUST be a way to make peace...I've even tryed some cheat codes but they dont work.
C'mon can you people please do the AI more diplomacy friendly, otherwise what use is there with diplomacy...it's almust useless.
What happened to Invasio Barbarorum Forum? It doesn't work for me.:help:
@kambiz
site was down for a while, last I checked it was back online, though :2thumbsup: but most things Im doing are text related so not much I can set up for preview, but maybe instead of a preview, next thing will be a release already :laugh4:
@Baryonyx Walkeri
what faction are u playing, maybe the faction u are playing has been coded to have bad relations with ERE.
however, diplomacy in RTW does not really receive high marks in effectivity,
another thing, if u are playing VH in campaign, diplomacy simply goes out the door.
@tug34
unless you can give me more info I really have no idea what can be causing ur CTD, it can be a number of things: installing in the wrong folder, failure to upgrade to 1.6, corrupted DL, modifying some files - to name a few that can cause failure to load up a game (only) then there are the CTDs in-game...
Ramon,
The mods looking fantastic! Love the new mini map. Ive not been following progress lately because the RTR forum which I used to visit appears to have died. Are we still waiting for version 6? It looks like its grown in scope quite a bit in the past couple of months.
still waiting for v6, I just finished checking all models for missing default textures, and am more than halfway through the new strat models. I still have to resave unit info cards, do some minor adjusting, and add in the sprites.
Great news. Im really looking forward to this. Thanks for the reply.
By the way, did you ever use that ERE rebels slot? Whats the current faction list?
sorry for the late reply and also delay in the release. I've been balancing the factions esp strenghtening the Sassies and slightly weakening the ERE.
visual elements are all in place, only this balancing needs to be done.
factions list:
Alemanni
Burgundii
Lombardi
Saxons
Franks
Visigoths
Ostrogoths
Vandals
Slavs
Berber Mauri
Arab Lakhmids (takes the place of ERR)
Picts
Hephthalites
Huns
Persarmenians
Sassanids
WRE
ERE
WRR
RB
slaves/rebels
No apology necessary Ramon and thanks for the info! Just been reading about the Lakhmids. Good choice for that extra slot. One question, wikipedia states that they were from Southern Iraq and went on to conquer some Arabian territories. Does this mean that Arabia is now conquerable again or are they wedged into Sassanid-Byzantine border provinces?
arabia is conquerable, but only a couple of provinces there, and not so very rich at that... then the Lakhmids have to either look west to expand (ERE) or north (Sassanids). not very easy going for them :laugh4: but the Sassanids are also being hammered by the Hephthalites in the East and the ERE is in constant war with the Sassanids, and have to contend with an Ostrogothic invasion (time frame is a bit wrong but had to do this to balance the challengers) and have to protect their borders against the Hunnic hordes... all in all it should be great fun.:2thumbsup:
Hi Ramon_Gonzales_y_Garcia;
I hope you use diffrent File sharing sites to upload your mod because some of them like "File Front" do not works for me ~:confused: Below links are good for me:
