Redux: Debug-Area...

[daigaku]

Hi @Axalon,

still for 1003:
repeatedly, men "disappear". First thought I had misremembered, but last situation: Trying to rid me of some unwanted heirs, put them to rebel-owned Saxony. A few nasty battles with the dai-typical results (dismounted Royal Knights, put into forest, slaughtering happily along hundreds of foes), but the moment there were only the three Princelings left they disappeared into empty air after battle, reloading to the campaign map. Is this a known issue or new?
Another thing that struck me as weird: Rebel forces (iirc only them, but may be mistaken) do use Heavy Crossbows not to shoot, but to charge - even if my men are put in open field! They come along, and instead of staying in shooting range to my completely exhausted guys and pepper them, they charge straight in, of course loosing badly instead of giving me hell with their ?quarrels?.
scratching-my-head greetings,

Dai, you really need to get updated to RXB1004… Finish your 1003-campaign and upgrade to the “VI-RXB1004e” in your case. The RXB1003 has been taken out of service - it is in effect not supported anymore…

...repeatedly, men "disappear". First thought I had misremembered, but last situation: Trying to rid me of some unwanted heirs, put them to rebel-owned Saxony.

Strikes me as new, but I must have it confirmed, without that this will go nowhere. The VI/v.2.01-engine is what it is, weird but stable… And, it is possible you made a mistake somewhere somehow. Without pics or saves or something to back it up/confirm it – I can do diddly about it and I won’t log it as a result. Sorry…

Sounds like a bad AI-call… Not a bug… Dismissed (sorry)…

Alright folks, I have created the "RXB1004 Mapfix" the fix is relevant to ALL versions of Redux. The fix corrects/updates the strat-maps on the two missing titles/names that I noticed a few days ago. Again, it works universally on any version, regardless of v.1.1 or VI/v.2.01 as that makes no difference. Download and install it at your discretion...

Hi @Axalon,

not sure if bug but nevertheless very, very strange:
Sudden drop of influence, from 9 to 3, but I had nothing lost: No region, no battle, no crucade. Only declined proposal of alliance with small faction(Hungarians). How comes?!?

My guess is that a new king/succession is involved somehow - the MTW-engine does that to new kings and it disappears within 3-4 turns (unless some disaster strikes. This way there is plenty of civil wars in MTW, due to this very trait.). A loyalty/influence drop... If not, that then it is something else and its not by my designs. And, I doubt it is a bug - even CA would not have missed something like that back in 2002 (these days yes, but back then nope).

Hi @Axalon,

not sure this question belongs here, but anyway...

About: Those randomly given V&Vs

Many of those, like "drunkard" or "arrogant", are "given" with no trigger at all. Others, like for example "good runner" or "secret incest", are only "given" for a definite action of a general/king. What would happen if I deleted those undeserved and unwanted V&Vs from "events.txt" and from "changes.txt"? Did you try this yourself, and if, with which outcome?!?

curious waiting for an answer,
greetings daigaku

I don’t know, I have not tried, I think? I can’t remember… I have always assumed that the MTW will crash or refuse to start or some such, if one did something like that… Try and find out… Anyways, this is not very bug-related, let's try to keep things on topic here...
