    Will also upload the files from both the name mod and RGB mod so that people can begin fooling around with them

    I think it should work. The only thing that would be missing are the unit cards but it's easy to rename NE Bodyguard unit cards for France. (Hope you have back ups of KotF mod!)

    Here is an icon for KotF, like I made for LotR. In this case, it is the Fleur-de-lis. Hopefully deguerra can use this to make one of his great auto-installers with a launch shortcut.

    I liked LotR icon. I'm using it even now instead of SS icon!

    Here is the link to the uploaded files. Be sure to copy the names files first then the RGB one as the descr_strat file from the name_mod has been modified for the RGBs.

    And nice icon, btw

    After looking at the icon again, I decided to make a second one. It's the same as the first, but instead of a white background, it has a transparent background. The second icon doesn't look as good on light backgrounds, but it does look better (IMO) on darker backgrounds. This zip has both versions:

    I am afraid you have me mistaken. I am a man of many...well some, talents, but making installers is unfortunately not one of them.

    RGM MOD IS WORKING !!

    Get ready to ROOOOOOOOLL !!!

    Only problem I noticed is that we can only recruit 8 RBG on turn 1, and 6 more on turn 2 unless we conquer settlements in the first turn...

    so it goes like this : turn 1 = 8 RBGs
    turn 2 = 14
    turn 3 = 19
    turn 4 = 24 and 5 more/turn henceforth


    I keep asking but get no answer : should we use the Age mod that introduces some variable into the death date of our avatars (as proposed by Cecil) ?

    Perhaps you should change recruitment time from 1 to 0? I think then this problem would be solved.
    So, the French bodyguards worked? did you try to fight some battles with them too? Just to make sure everything is working?

    There's got to be a work around, as I remember that TC was able to recruit a massive amount of RGBs in LotR in just one turn.

    I'll be happy to implement it once it has been pointed to me...

    Will try some battles right now to see how those BG work...

    I'm afraid that this is outside my area of expertise. I searched around the old LotR threads for info pertaining to the the LotR mod, particularly RGBs, but I was unable to find anything concrete.

    I know what the problem is. It requires that additional modding be done temporarily for the single turn that spawns the RBGs, and that modding then has to be undone after the RBGs have been spawned. Essentially, you have to pump the maximum recruitment slots for all settlements to 9, pump RBG spawn rate to 9, spawn as many RBGs as you can, then return the limits to their previous level.

    What about the "True Bloodlines" and random dying mods? I think the latter is especially needed.

    I've got directions from Cecil on the age mod. I can try to implement tonight if we're ready.

    Do we have dismounted guards as well? And how are we gonna get everyone's rgbs? Is it easy to do what was done (and then undone) in LOTR for turn one?

    I believe so - also, can we have the option of dismounted versus mounted? Or would the armor for the dismounted bodyguards be to anachronistic?

    Dismounted bodyguards are already implemented into the mod. They are completely seperate units from mounted bodyguards, and I believe they can only be recruited with the highest level of castle barracks.

    I can confirm this having modded especially for France.

    OK, I've successfully modded the game to allow for recruitment of 9 RBGs per settlement on France's 1st turn...

    So if Zim is OK, I hold the save at his disposal for general release. If I can manage to find time, I can also take screenshots ans upload them here to help people in getting accointed with France noblemen.


    EDIT : Only problem that remains to be solved is that the English diplomat comes forward in the AI turn with a proposal for trade rights. I cannot take screenshots of the avatars without either accepting/refusing the offer. What should I do ?

    The initial executable version is here: KotFMod1.3.exe

    I have only done very preliminary testing. The paths Tristan had specified in the readme-files differed a bit from what they were on my installation so I had to do some (very minor) guesswork.

    After installing the mod I can start a French early campaign and there are General's Bodyguards recruitable from towns and all levels of castles and have 1 cost and 1/turn upkeep . Bodyguards (on foot) from top of the line barracks have regular cost and upkeep, and are not available initially. Underaged FM's are older. Initial RBG Gassou is now Champagne or something.

    Tristan: Could you test the exe by choosing an empty folder instead of M2TW one at the prompt and checking that all the correct files are going to all the correct places?

    All others: Proceed at your own risk
