BKB Super Mod

firstly i would like to take this oppurtunity to apologise to king azzole, i know i was an arse yesterday, sorry mate, hard times at home at present. i can see you love this mod, and you put a lot of effort into the deadpages, so i hope you can accept my apology. Dont know why i took it out on you to be completely honest, but if i could, i'd take it all back.

Secondly, BKB, is there any way you can change the finances of England and Germany in the final release, its a bit annoying starting in debt, and it can be a handful playing as the english and germans without this adding to my woes.

and finally........

Hello to all, and cheers to BKB the new unit roster is fabulous, but i'm having a little problem. I would like to make Flemish infantry available for all factions in the super early unit prod file. I've actually copied it from the super late unit prod file into the super early one but when I start a game it crashes and there is a message telling me COLUMN_UNIT_COST, column 2, row 258 (the actual flemish infantry), 555 too few values, what can I do ? Please help me !!

~:mecry:

hey BKB, just a note on the Khazar Khanate, they converted to Judaism in 861a.d. I am just wondering whether its possible to make the faction that religion instead of muslim.

Hehe no man we all got troubles. Im just glad I didnt post what I was gonna post before I edited my response LOL :director:

Balin, I don't think that a faction can be anything else than Catholique, Orthodox, Muslim or Pagan.

Anyway, as someone said, the most part of the khazar population was probably muslim.

cool. Good to hear that. :joker:

Playing Knights Hospitallers/Hard/Super Late.

I've also had the freeze during "thinking" between 1380 and 1381.In fact I can't get past it after half a dozen attempts.The background music goes into a 2 second or so loop at the same time.

Also occasionally units sent for a refit in Rhodes would pop up in Constantinople unreplenished and vice versa ~:confused:

got game freeze too in aragoneese and flemish campains ~:( sad event it 's an enjoiyng mod ~:) well it's a bit disturbing, don't know why game crash ~:confused: keep quiet and wait for final release ~:yin-yang:

My brother and I are having problems too on 2 different computers.
An error seems to occur during certain battle, after selecting what we will do (call off the attack, attack manually or fight automatically).

It happened with the Novgorodian vs the Cuman in Volhonya in 1186
the Almohad vs the French in Sevilla in 1276

Each time we had to load and do something else than attacking, because it leads to another crash (I'm not using mercenaries)

Anyway, that's not quite a serious issue.

On a more pleasant point of view, when is the release of the final version scheduled for (yeah, I'm annoying with that question) ? What will you be adding in it (this one must be quite boring too, but I thought it was worth asking ~:p ) ?

BKB dont forget to send me the unit prod for the extra *HINT HINT ON NEW STUFF FOR FINAL RELEASE* units that need deadpage coordinates. That way I can do the deadpage before released and we can have bodies!! :jumping:

Is anyone else noticing that several units who are supposed to be armor-piercing are not, in fact, armor piercing?

I've noticed that Uzbek Heavy Cavalry and Bulgarian Heavy Cavalry both use maces but neither one of them has the armor-piercing star next to their attack when you hit F1.

Technically maces were not armor piercing per se. Its the polearms like the ones that the militia sargeants use (notice the giant spike on the end) that is armor piercing.

EDIT: BKB I noticed a bug with the norman foot knights. When they are standing still there swords are upside down.

I am speechless as to how this amazing piece of work revolutionises MTW. Only issue so far - CTD when using tarfurs in custom battle.

I think BKB is a bit busy with the RTW Demo atm trying to mod it. I'm sure he will get back to you. just keep posting bug reports

Bug with the Tarfurs: Unit size in the unit prod is set to 200. So if a player has units set to "huge" it doubles the unit to 400, crashing the game. A manual fix to this is to open the unitprod file yourself and edit the unit size to 100. I suggest using Gnome Editor.

I don't consider that to be a bug - I want them to be 200, so if someone doubles the size it isnt really my problem.

~:shock: ok... And there it is boys and girls. Case closed.

Anyway anyone who wants to fix this so they can use huge unit sizes (like me) can PM me ill show you how to edit your unitprod. ~:cheers:

~D HI BKB,
do you or anyone know, whats causing the game freeze. Is it the conflict between Mercenaries that use the old fac shield folders and new factions. (If so i can sort it out myself without a patch) Or is it rooted some where else.
Cheers,
~:rolleyes:


p.s Hope you don't mind my queries m8, as there only meant as ideas and I know historicl sources often contradict. But as your a stickler for detail maybe the HRE shouldn't start with Landsknecht units in superlate. Despite Rudolph von Hapsburgs use of Landsknecht "Style" units in 1276, They didn't realy emerge as Landsknecht, until the Swabian league and the City of Ulm hired the Federation of Liberty (Or Black Gaurd as they were known in Holstien) a Hundred years later. Early version of Landsknecht were "free" knechte I dont think they had that many pikemen. :knight:

Kali, i know about the Landsknecht, i have given the germans those units because they need them, thats about it really.

I know the Landsknecht were created by Maximillan and about there history. I gave them to the HRE because they needed a good unit because of the enemy's that surround them.

[QUOTE]

So the game freeze is still a mystery then m8.

p.s Think I'll mod in some German Free knechte or the like :knight:

When playing last night as the Golden Horde on Expert setting(hardest faction to play in this mod as far as i'm concerned) everything was going as well as can be expected.I ignored the Il-Khanate until in the year 1340 they decided to attack me.The game froze again.The freeze for me seems to be related to the Il-Khanate every time.I have played through with the Portugese and the Teutons with no problems but this was probably because the Il-Khanate had been removed from the picture already by their neighbours.
When i have played as the Turks,GH or Byz the game has frozen on attacking or being attacked by the Il-Khanate.When i play as the Il-Khanate i can attack rebels with no problems but when i attack the Turks the game freezes.
Just writing this so that BKB can document the problems for his final release.It's an excellent mod and i have had to completely rethink my battlefield tactics on several occasions so far.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the info, i have a look at the il khanate and try to destroy this problem.

Has anyone had this problem in any other periods?

sorry to disturb ya mate but i have a big problem. a) my mtw disk is scratched so don't work (but that's ot) and your mod appears to have some very annoying bugs. par example, when i click build for the italians it goes on about order crossbowmen and some default picture thing. and if i want and info pic, it ctd's me.
any help is appreciated

Yep BKB I had a freeze playing the Viking campaign, not even part of your mod. But I reckoned it wasnt supposed to work anyway once your files slip there tentacles into the folders.

I honestly think your game is f'd mate - I've never heard of a problem this drastic before!

Azzole, I presume it will mess up your Viking game. Sorry about that.

I have been playing as the Il-Khanate and attacking the Turks and no freezes have happened for me. In fact from what I have played, I have not had freezes at all. But I rarely have the patience to play more than 50 turns or so, before I want to try out a different faction. Only freezes I have had is in the main menu when quitting. But that happens with other mods to occasionally. This is a bit of a mystery ~:dizzy:

ah dut, I'm not advocating piracy here, but if you decide to buy Medieval Total War but get one of your discs scratched, I believe that in the US, under the fair use act, you are allowed to download one copy of the media you have on CD, so if I were you I'd either send in the damaged disk with $5 or download a copy of the disc.

Im playing byzanthians and in 1352 thoze yellow bastards ill kagnate or whatever their called invade me in trezboni, i retreat forces to castle , no crash but when i counter attack next round and they run back to their mommies the game crashes in 1353 ( entire pc hardlocks ~:mecry: )

mate, does anything like disk doctor or the like work for scratched disks?

~:angry: ~:angry:

Hello all, I was just playing the Venetians when when my game frost in 1532, it happen in previous games and I noticed that could be avoided by deactivating the autosave, but this time it didn't work. That's bad because I was having a real great time !!!

Speedfreak

:knight:

1532?!? Do you mean 1352? Yeah I'm trying hard to sort out these freezes, and I do think it has something to do with the Ilkahante. Now if they appeared in Early and High that would throw me. Perhaps you guys could help me out with a bit of detective work as to what's causing the problem. Be vigilante! :knight:

I suppose what we could do is edit the startpos file for late and give the Ilkahante no units and let that faction die an early death. Then we could continue our late campaign and see if it still freezes. Unless of course the Ilkahante comes back later in the game.

On a more pleasant point of view, when is the release of the final version scheduled for (yeah, I'm annoying with that question) ? What will you be adding in it (this one must be quite boring too, but I thought it was worth asking ) ?

---

At the moment I'm making units - added about 5, and adding about 15 more. The maps are done - early I'm particularly proud of. I know you guys dig the new land masses (Iceland and Balearics) and another has been added to early. Its very interesting and looks very cool. When the units are done I'll look at all the feedback in the thread and incorporate the changes into the game, plus do some more balancing. Then I'll finalise the names (adding Princess ones) and add in Heroes. Plus they'll be a selection of deadpages thanks to King Azzole.

I also want to add some more buildings, but can't think of any. Can you guys suggest any, and I'll tell you if they're possible or not? Be specific with what they contribute to the game also.

On course for a mid-late September release, before Rome anyway.

Great news ! ~:cheers:

For the new building, I had quite a few ideas (not thinking about new ressource buildings like fishery), but I think they can't be applied to MTW.

BKB ive been playing an early campaign as the norse and its been good so far. Map is pretty much divided between me and the byzantines, which we are now massively at war on all fronts. So far no crashes whatsoever, however I did notice alot of Deadpage inconsistancys I missed and have been fixing as i go. I will give you the updated deadpages when you give me the unitprod with the new units to edit. I also noticed no portrait for the Norse Cardinal. I get the black screen thingy. I also noticed with heretical churchs. Not sure if your aware of this: When you put one in a province (at least happened when i was playing as the flemish) other religeons started getting popular. I can understand the heretical religeon going up but I also saw Islam go up to 20% and judiasm go to 20%!!! Was kinda neat till my loyaltys started lowering.

NEW BUILDING SUGGESTIONS:

Slave trader: Gives very good income in slave trade provinces, like 200+ florins a turn, but every turn you have a small chance of having a slave uprising (like a few units of some peasants or something) , this is regardless of how many loyalty you have. I can think of some other penaltys as well.

ANOTHER BUILDING IDEA:

Fletcher: If after building a master bowyer, you can build a fletcher. Fletcher allows the archers to have a slightly longer range, and maybe a few other benefits if you can think of any.

BUILDING/UNIT idea: When you build a college of surgeons, you are able to produce surgeons. A surgeon has the ability to remove certain negative vices like Alchoholism from generals, but also has a small chance of killing the general (surgeory was kinda crude back then)

NEW AGENT TYPE:

Brothel spy. When you have the highest form of spy unit building, you have the ability to produce "Princess spys." These lovely ladys present themselves as princesses from your faction, and request marriage to the other king. If the king accepts you get inside spy information about attacks that king is planning. Also have a slight chance the king relaizes shes not a true princess and kills her and raises hostilities.

Here's a complete list I'll update if needed :

- The Lists, or Tournament field, or whatever you call it. Christian only. Increase population loyaulty and grant and little income. You may want to make it a requirement for some mounted units, or create a new unit like champion berseker or champion swordman, called champion knight or just champion (for western christian faction -french, german, english and maybe the castillan) that would need this building.

- Carnival, or Festival or market place. Christian only. Kinda the same thing.
Income + loyaulty + mercenary magnetism.

- Alchemist's study. I thought that Muslim could have access to a super assassin, since they can't use inquisitor and grand inquisitor. The problem is that you'd have to create a new agent, and that alchemist was also studied by christians. (oh yeah, I don't know why an alchemist would be a super assassin, but well, I think this idea rock. Anyway, you can replace it by a
- Witch house. Not a *real* witch but rather a woman expert in poisons and lethal ales.
Both of them would be some superior assassins, but not invisible in the campaign map (like the geisha in STW, though not as effective). They could also decrease loyalty in other factions' province (or increase loyalty in your province).

- Hachichin's keep (tho keep might not be the best word). Muslim only. It can either be a requirement for some Hachichin new units and for the original MTW unit, or may allow us to recruit a super assassin (there again, you'd have to create a new agent).

- Astrologer's study. Muslim. Could give access to a new title, that would give a high accumen bonus.

- Some new ressource buildings based on clothes, jewells or things like that for faction who start with less province.

- I wanted to find something about a cartographer, but I had no idea, unhappilly.

- If possible, adding the pre-farm (the one we have to build in viking invasion) buildings would be nice, if granting larger farm incomes.
Btw, since we have access to the heretic abbey, why not the common abbey (with reduced income, 208 per province might be quite high early in the game) and maybe the same building with another name for pagans/muslims ?

- A thing that would be nice IMO - but not really needed. Well, even not needed at all -, especially for the crusader states faction, is a different building for each crusader order. It's not a big deal, nor a serious issue, but I think having all of them in a same building is kinda weird (for the crusader state at least).

PS : Most of this ideas are useless, or don't add many thing to the game, but since you've asked for them, and since I don't have a decent life at the moment, I decided that wasting a few hours trying to find some cool ideas for your mod could be a good thing for my not-so-exciting-life.

Nice ideas I especially like the Tourny field.

But it is Atronomer not Astrologer. I think Islam is against Astrology IIRC. Also , perhaps add a slight speed bonus to units who are made with a Master Armourer to simulate lighter better armor made by these folks?

Oh yeah, sorry for the astrologer mistake.

Your ideas are cool aswell (though I think adding them to the game would be difficult if not impossible)

The spy princess would be awesome in a MP campaign ~:joker:

Oh wait, there's no MP campaign ~:dizzy:

I think BKB could do at least the slave trader and fletcher idea.

I don't have any skill in modding MTW, but I think (and hope) that these 2 are fairly possible :)

Some great ideas but unfortunately KA some of the benefits just cannot be done (the ability to remove certain vices, the longer range for arrows). The Tournament field is a superb idea, as is the Brothel spy. The slave trader idea is a good one but it is a trade good and unfortunately trade goods cannot trigger the construction of buidlings, only resources which I can't add.

Suicide Naptha bombers for Islamic factions? ~:joker: jk ~:p

~D A few ideas m8,
I've Created new bifs etc for Markets, Guild halls, League banks, Mills, Cottage Industry/Basic Industry, Monastery Industries, Camel trains (Pan-saharan and silk road trade) all to boost the AI's finances and to specialise unit production. Plus from VI, I borrowed butts, stables, to train specialised archers and cavalry. Also Abbeys, shrines and diggings for more economic and unit specialisation. The bifs are individualised for Muslim, Orthodox and Catholic factions where relevant. Let me know if you want any new bifs.
~:dizzy:

Kali, send them here mate and i'll take a look:

These errors are related to the shields/weapons placements of the new units.

How can that be if it isn't at the actual battle stage?

After having a look at these problems, I'd say that they aren't related to BKB's mod, but rather to a problem that happened with the quicksave.

I'd prefer if you didn't add any more Champion units... but that's just me. I'll replace them with some other unit anyway, so you don't have to listen to me.

Currently playing as the Ilkahante, I have attacked and been attacked by the Turkish whom I have now wiped out. I have now just finished off the Egyptians. The year is 1364 and no freezes to report at this stage, keeping my fingers crossed as I want to complete this campaign!

In 1354 i had a freeze while playing as the Swiss. I was assaulting a Serbian castle, i have reloaded it and not assualted the castle but it still freezes.

What units were involved Bsof?

bkb give me a idea to play a faction m8

~:wacko: ~:wacko: ~:wacko: ~:wacko:

and nice job m8 :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping:

swiss armoured pikeman, halberdiers, urban militia, militia sergeants.. thats all i can remember, i forgot to save i properly b4 i started a new game :oops:

When my Late Swiss game froze during the "Thinking..." stage I wasn't attacking or besieging. It was just a regular turn. I saved the game just before I tiook the turn so I was able to load the game again and again trying different things. I even tried it without starting any new buildings or producing any new units.

I think something the AI is doing during the turn is causing some little bug to pop up. This is probably why it is freezing during Late with different factions for different folks. Some AI faction is trying to do something during the turn that can't be done.

Suggestion: OPen up the start link (the .exe to start the game) and add the following line to the end of the target: -ian

This will allow you to switch factions in game at will by pressing your number keys. Save the game before a crash, and during that turn switch to another faction one by one and erase all the moves/buildings etc they do and end turn, repeat till the game doesnt freeze. IF IT DOESNT FREEZE: Go back to the turn and only remove one thing at a time till it unfreezes. You will then know what the exact issue is. Good luck and happy bug hunting. If you dont understand what I mean I can explain better.

Ugh more overpowered units found...

My king was level 3 command vs a level 1 command General, I went in with over 600 Viking carls, Huscarls, and 24 Berserkers. The target? 80 Klinophobi (or whatever), Those freiken things even have bows and managed to wipe out all 600 men, with 20 something left... Huh? Not to mention I had level 2 armor and weapons on just about all of them.

Another overpowered units: Albanian Infantry. These suckers can go toe to toe with Viking Carls and kick there ass... ~:( Wow not bad for auxiliarys.

Just like to say, "WOW!"

This is a very deep expansion to MTW. I played the Poles on expert and found consistent and might I add realistic challenges on virtually all fronts. New units are abundant but, based on my intial impression, not uber-like. Expert is now a more accurately termed difficulty.

Most that still enjoy MTW appreciate the potential for thoughtful challenges; your expansion makes it fresh, and it builds on that original idea.

Now, if only RTW would adopt the same fluid controls. :phonecall:

Here's some ideas for buildings:

1) Legendary Axesmith/Swordsmith/Bowyer/Spearmaker/Horse Breeder

These buildings take a long time to build, are unique (you can only build one of each) and they grant +2 valour to the units of the weapon type produced there. Could also grant a title giving + command and dread like "Legendary Swordsman".

2) I also think the first master merchant building your empires completes should give some kind of + accumen title like "Minister of Finance", or perhaps have an actual royal treasury as a seperate income-generating building get the title.

3) Dungeon. It reduces happiness in the province it's built but gives you the ability to assign a title giving like +6 dread and minus several piety. The title would be "Chief Torturer" or something similarly diabolic. It would also allow you to train "Torturers" who would start their own little inquisition deals with suspected political dissidents or whatever. Not sure what these torturers would do other than make the people really unhappy.

King Azzole, Viking Carls are crap against heavy cavalry. Feudal Men At Arms are actually better than Viking Carls in several places. Think of the Klibanophori as uber-Kataphraktoi. Now just imagine trying to run a whole bunch of Feudal Men At Arms against uber-buffed Kataphraktoi, think back to those battles you had to fight against the Byzantines and their armies of uber-stat Kat heirs back during regular MTW. Remember how tough those guys were? Yeah. I had a many battles where the entire battle focused around killing these Katahpraktoi heirs. I've got some interesting replays, to say the least. I remember this one battle where I sent all my infantry into a forest where one unit of Varangian guard managed to butcher 6 units of my mercs. I eventually drove those VG's off but at great cost. I basically lost my entire starting lineup guys and the only thing left was my general (mounted x-bow) and his general (Kat).

Oh yeah, and about the Champion units. They don't really seem to be all that Champion-like. I've seen one good charge from Muwahid Foot Soldiers kill them instantly. Maybe you need to buff up their stats more and give them command stars.

It'd be awesome to have a champion unit as a very well-groomed jedi general.

Sorry I mistyped that. It was Landsman not carls. I also had a unit of Huscarls in there AND 24 Berserkers... Come on 80 horses killing 600 men of higher valor armed with axes?? Pffff. I dont care how elite they are 80 horses cannot stop 600 men especially since they didnt even get a charge in, it was just walk up and fight type stuff. I dont know if playing on expert has anything to do with it though, but ive never seen "stock" units without a jedi general do anything near that. Not to mention they are only 160 florins support cost, even less than the Kats.

Looooove the dungeon idea. Perhaps executioners can be used to eliminate enemy generals with criminal traits like "outlaw" alot easier than other units like assassins and inquisitors? But only generals with those traits, other generals they wouldnt be able to target. If anything I think the dungeon should INCREASE happiness, givin that alot more criminals are being held and executed rather than having a chance to escape before being executed.

Regarding the champion units: The ones ive seen (berserker champions) they had over 20 in attack and defense. I doubt they need more buffing. I found 2 good uses for them: Use them to support, not lead a charge, and to man a castle on a border of an ally. If he chooses to attack you can retreat to castle and he will need ALOT of men to take that castle with those badboys at the gates. And since they are only 2 people they last forever in the castle under siege.

BKB note: Berserkers for the Norse are not uber like they are in the viking campaign. I really dont think they should still require 4 years to train, And if you do, then at least buff them up 2-3 points.

~:) Hi BK,
Sent you those Building BIFs etc. They should ??? arrive in four seperate emails.
:knight:

Seriously, I don't really like the champion units (berseker and swordman), because I think that one single unit killing a thousand of guys is quite unrealistic (yeah, MTW isn't Braveheart or Lord of the ring).

I said that the list building could allow us to recruit a champion knight because
- I think a champion knight is much more cool than a champion berseker/swordman
- Since BKB has already made 2 champion units, why not another one ? I know some people love them, and a champion knight could represent Lancelot or a Grail Knight or another mighty hero.
- I couldn't find any other unit that would use a tournament field as a requirement :-P

Dont exagerate now :tomato: Sure they kick ass but they dont kill "thousands," in fact the most they can kill is 20-30 before they die if they are not the general or not suitably backed up by lesser units. I do think however that the construction cost of them should be upped to 6 or even 8 years, to represent a rare genetically perfect person that can just slaughter people only coming around once in a blue moon in different armys. In the end though I really dont see any use for them other than castle guarding and novelty. There isnt enough of them in a unit to do any real damage in a battle, and there is too few to defend well when you can just take 120 Huscarls, or 80 Chivlaric Knights.

One lone beserker killed over 25 men and held the bridge for about half an hour before he was killed by a spear jab under the bridge through his groin at stamford bridge in 1066 so these units types were around.

KA i had no idea the beserkers took four years to make, in my games it takes 2 years. I'll take a look anyway.

Ok I tried the -ian extension to hunt down the bug but noticed it only allows access to 10 factions (ie 0-9). Is there a way to gain access to the other factions?

Hi Guys, I apologize if this seems stupid but I just can't seem to figure out where to get the BKB SUpermod here... Can't down load it from link on first page...though i could dl the beta late update. Can someone help me out? Seems like a great mod!

Thx

My mistake then :-)
(Though I have to consider that this 'one guy killed 25 men' story might have been exagerated, as people used to do)

BKB, it might be cause I have the unit size set to "huge." Even if its not though 12 berserkers which are only slightly better than the more elite early units to have to be built twice as long as normal elite units is excessive IMO unless you up the berserker unit size to 40 normal 80 huge. BKB you havnt given us your feedback on the last page or so of ideas ~:p

Fluke: You gotta hold control when hitting the 1-0 keys to access to the next batch of factions. I still cant figure out how to access the third batch though ~:( If someone knows or finds out please share. Hopefully we can find out which faction is the issue BEFORE faction #20

Hello all !!!

I've been the super late mod for a few days now especially with the orthodox factions: the Serbs and the russians, it appears that it is impossible to build either russian foot knights or serbian foot knights the prerequisite is a royal estate and even if I have a master mason and Citadel + the swordsmith I'm not able to build more than a royal court. Can someone help me !!!

Thanks KA. My freezing Swiss game has 23 factions (24 including rebels) when it freezes. The game freezes in between when the Venetian faction shield is lit and the Teutonic faction shield isn't lit. So it is probably something going on with one of these two factions or their interplay with another faction. Hopefully ctrl will get me to the Venetians and the Teutonic Knights.

Ok I tried holding down control and it still gives me the same 10 factions as when not holding it down. So I am limited to the first 10 factions and cannot access the two factions that I think may be freezing this particular Late Swiss game.

Then try ALT its one of those keys. I have done it before ,you have to hold one of those keys to access 11-20 faction. The Venetians are one of the last on the faction list so I dont think you can access those :( But I hope that everyone who gets a freeze trys and use this method to trouble shoot it for BKB, remember he is not a one man army... oh wait. he is! :knight: BTW the -ian command also allows you to have unlimited camera movement on the battle field. Really cool how close you can get to the action and you can watch from birds eye too!

And np Ravener, pleasure. ~:cheers:

BKB, thats cool bro, I rather like surprises. Just wanted to make sure you read all those awsome ideas. ~:cool:

Yeah, I tried alt as well. I tried a bunch of keys. If anyone figures it out post here.

That is just freakin wierd... I just tried with CNTL and it worked for me. ~:confused:
