BKB Super Mod

**bbcrackmonkey** · 06-19-2005, 23:21

Something is seriously rotten in Denmark, or at least Syria.

I was playing the BKB mod, 2.0. I noticed that the Crusader States had taken Syria and the Egyptians had launched a Jihad from Palestine to retake it. Now don't ask me how or why, because obviously I have no idea, but guess who was leading this Jihad?

:eek King Premysl I, the Lord and Ruler of Bohemia.:eek

I was playing the Byzantines at the time and decided to do a little cheating with the -ian extension so I could see the whole map and take control over other factions. I check this Jihad and notice that there is a FREAKING BOHEMIAN KING LEADING IT! Not only that, but he still had crosses next to his piety level, which means he was still a Catholic while his 'Jihadis' were Muslim!:rollin

Well, I just had to take control of the Egyptians to see what would happen, again using the -ian cheats. I put a lot more Egyptian troops into this crusade and I assaulted Syria with it and several other soldiers from Arabia.

When the battle started, all the soldiers that were in the crusade were gone, all but one unit, the Bohemian King, and he attacked me. After killing this strangely out of place monarch, it said "The Bohemians are fleeing the field" which meant that for some reason none of my Jihadis had ever made it onto the field except this foolish King Premysl I. I promptly defeated the Crusaders and took Syria and my Jihad was bumped back to Palestine due to all of it's soldiers fleeing. Well, not one to waste time, I again moved the Jihad to Syria now that it was under my control.

Hooray! My brave Jihadis reached Syria and reclaimed it.... just one downside however... after the Jihad was over, the Jihad army turned into a Bohemian army and it's just sitting there, not doing anything. Currently I'm neutral with the Bohemians, but I figure that if Syria is attacked again that the Islamic Bohemians will attack both sides.

If you don't believe me, tell me how to create screenshots and I will prove it to you.

You need the ".txt" at the end.

Can I assume that step 2.b is missing? Like in:

2.b I install the 2.1 patch

Have you installed it correctly mate? You can't play high and late eras at all or just the deadpage cords with these eras?

**Meneldil** · 06-20-2005, 16:22

I bet trying to fix everything for all people who screwed up something while installing must be boring at some point, heh ?

We need to see this!

(Screen shots are simple - just use the "printscreen" key at any time (works on the main map and even during battles - real time or paused), and then open up a graphics program and paste in the image.)

Just one question;Is the entire thing blurred? Is it just map, or is the text also blurred?

Just the maps.

does this mod improve AI?

It does its best to. With all the new factions on offer and the re-balancing of the game I'd have to say at least a bit.

1) Is there a way to reduce the upkeep of all units by half? I like to play on huge unit settings and the computer tends to build a lot of troops and then remain stagnant and discontinue growth. I like to give my opponents a fair chance when it comes to economics and I like epic battles a lot :-)

2) I've made a mistake on my earlier post about the deadpages, as you did label them correctly, however, I am curious as to why there seems to be an EARLYDEADPAGE COORDS.txt missing from the folder with the other deadpages coordinates.

3) With the added stone-mason buildings, have you run tests to see if these buildings are built by the computer and thus do not impede the growth of the computer opponents building various castles types?

1) There is but it is long and difficult. I don't think I could be bothered to go through all the units and change it.

2) This question has been answered.

3) Good question, and one which I'm looking into.
