    Hehe, I think a quick 2.2 is in order - Tyberius spelt Greece as 'Grece' on the new campaign map (the province scroll is just fine).

    I sure know how to have fun, eh?
    I believe in a society without rules, laws and regulations. A society where there are only ideas - strict ideas that must be followed to by the letter - and any failure to comply is punishable by death. This would be no dictatorship or police state, no one would be living in terror. It would merely be a 'reassessment of one's preferences,' people living in 'not-so-optimistic security.' So, welcome, those who are 'longing to be blindly obedient and loyal, unbeknownst to them.'

    Hello, Tyberius.

    Is the mod compatible only with XL 3.0 or can I apply it to the XL light version of 2.0? The 3.0 is a 146 MB download, which is 3 hours approx on my computer. We're only allowed 2 hours of electricity at a time in Karachi...

    I already have Viking Horde's smaller mod XL with the patch.

    Thanks.

    See, XL 3.0 mod is no more than XL 2.0 + the patch, Indeed, I have the 2.0 + the patch, and over it I have installed my own mod. so it's perfectly compatible.

    Hehe, even though I fancy myself as a Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Nazi, I can sympathise. In English, I believe that 'Greece' and 'grease' sound very familiar - why aren't they spelt the same as one or the other? Then there's 'buoy,' where I prefer the Americanism, where you say it how it's spelt ('boo-ee' or something), not as 'boy.'

    Of course, this also made me think of the Two Ronnies and the 'Fork Handles' sketch.

    It seems it's gonna be a 2.2 patch, but, you can edit on the mtw_xl_high_unit_prod11.txt by deleting the last 5. the correct value is 275.

    Thanks for the mod tyberius.You've outdone yourself this time,as everyone else has said,but I have a question:Why are the Byzantine Skutatoi and Kontarioi only buildable in the byzantine provinces,as in version 1 I could build them just about anywhere I captured reasonably quickly.in my current campaign half ofthe known world has decided on naval-warfare 1.01 and the lack of being able to ship reinforcements in is well annoying at best,some local garrison troops apart from vanilla spearmen would be great.

    Hi, I know the next patch is only intended as a minor 'cosmetic' one, not changing anything anything major, but there are one or two things that could do with changing, particularly in the high period. The Seljuks are generally wiped out within 10 or 15 years, as are the Egyptians. This often happened in the original XL mod, but has become more frequent in your mods, particularly 2.0. What could be done to remedy this is
    1) Take away any offices conferring command stars from Byzantines, Crusaders and Armenians.
    2) Make Turkish infantry such as Saracen infantry available in Anatolia, Armenia, lesser Armenia and Nicaea, and Trebizond.
    3) Give the Egyptians more military infrastructure in Syria and Edessa.

    After all in the 13th century it was the Crusader states and Byzantium that were struggling to survive, not the Seljuks or the Ayyubids.

    By the way, great mod.

    Maybe I have gone too far with te concept of "special troops only in your homelands" so it would be harder to expand for every faction, so I think I messed up somehow with the balance. That's a problem only with the pagan, muslim and orthodox factions since the catholics can train almost the whole feudal-chivalric chain of units on every province. On the 2.2 patch I will try to "expand" homelands for some medium units or make them buidable by faction regardless of the province. I will let the byzantines to train everywhere the skutatoi, byzantine cavalry,byzantine lancers, and byzantine infantry, but not the kontarioi, wich I will make available on every byzantine province (including the islands, the former byzantine province of naples, rum, lesser armenia, serbia and moldavia) that's because myself would train only kontarioi instead of skutatoi if I could.

    I have been noticing that problems too, The byzantine just pass over the seljuks with their 9 star monster-generals.
    As I said on a post before most of the stars of the byzantine titles will be gone on 2.2
    as for the crusaders and armenians.

    When playing with the seljuks, is problematic not to have access to reliable infantry on the conquered territories, so, I will expand saracen infantry to the territories mentioned, also khwarazmian swordsmen and khwarazmian cavalry. Also will make ghulam cavalry to be available on all provinces since "ghulam" means "slave" (a special kind) I think they shouldn't be arranged to a specific homeland, and that would help the Almohads and the Ayyubids as well.

    As for the Ayyubids, I will add some more advanced training facilities on their starting provinces.

    Thank you very much for your feedback and constructive criticism, that helps to make this a better mod. keep doing it please!

    What an amazing mod, and so far all I´ve done is played a few custom battles. Your new graphics truly make it shine, fantastic work. Now, if only I had the time to properly sit down for a campaign game like in old times...

    Tyberius, this is just sort of a personal preference thing, but I'll admit there's one particular thing I don't like too much about the mod, and that is that the Almoravids start with Tunis/Algiers. I kinda preferred the almos the way they were when they only had Morocco in North Africa, but like I said, its not a big issue and its just one person's preference.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    I didn't made modifications on this point from the original XL mod, maybe on Vanilla MTW-VI it was that way, It's been too long since I played a vanilla campaign that I don't remember the original positions...

    Cheers to all,
    Hi, I'd like to go back to this. Would it be unreasonable to make the Janissary Heavy Infantry easier to recruit? You need the fortress ($8000), Grand Mosque ($1000), Military Academy ($1000), then if you're playing on the large unit setting they cost something like $1250 each. The Grand Mosque is a unique building too, so once you achieve all of the above, that province is the only place in the world you can recruit them at. Historically, I don't believe the Janissaries were that rare. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong on this idea but if your looking for balance, easier access to these would help the Turks.

    well if you were going to remove the byzantine command stars you'd have to go something about the Silicians and Serbians command bonuses as well,because I usually crush both of them as soon as possible.When i did this in my most recent campaign I got both factions titles to assign to my generals as I pleased and by doing this I was able to create 3 6-star generals within the space of a year or so...

    In the interests of balancing you might want to take a quick look at the late era. You have beefed up the Golden Horde, which was much needed. I think you have gone a bit far. The other day, playing as the Turks i saw, by the early 1330s Russian, Novgorod and Lithuania had all beeen destroyed. When i started a game as the Russians in late on the very first move, my force of around 200 was attacked by nearly 1000 GH. Game over! I think Russia, Novgorod, Lithuania, and the Ottomans all need to start with more units, maybe not a lot, but some.

    The byzantines have an harcoded advantage of giving birth to 5-7 stars princes all the time so it's the only faction that will be unfavoured in this aspect, maybe you are a bit partial since you play Byz as your favourite faction but I was playing Cumans, Turkish, Bulgarians, Ayyubids etc. and it was so hard because always the byz ruled the entire world,seas and so....and when playing the byzantines it was so easy! by the way, I won't wipe out all stars-giving offices, just leave the three original ones, plus constantinople and trebizond (giving 2 stars each!)

    So? That only means that, should the metalsmith building line be destroyed, it can´t be rebuilt.

    Obviously, but I thought it might be an oversight. Apparently it is to give the English an advantage, although their already one of the easiest factions.

    Yikes, those are some pretty big changes. I must admit, I'm a bit curious as to how the land bridge between Sweden and Finland will work out; I think there could be some interesting scenarios arising now out of it.

    Also, out of curiosity, what do the sawmills and lumberjacks do? Are they strictly an income earner?

    Indeed, I've discovered Playing the Swedes, that expanding the frontline for the Swedish and for the Novgorods, via Finland has proved to be a lot of fun and a worthy variable and relief (or struggle) for both kingdoms.
