BKB Super Mod

On Super Early there seems to be a problem with the portraits of the mercenaries. All nordic mercenaries, no matter what name or what cultural backround they come from, have a Norse portrait for their leader, even if their name is Muhammed Bin Adil and they issue Islamic commands on the battlefield.

The same is true of the Irish. All Mercs, no matter the culture, appear with an Irish portrait.

The Cumans did the same as well, all of their mercenaries, no matter what their name or culture, showed up with the Steppe Pagan portrait.

However, the Egyptians had regular portraits for their mercenaries, so take with that what you will.

I'm probably going to either test and find out which Super Early units cause the game to crash or else test all the Super Late units to see if they're empty-handed as well.

Ok, after a careful process of elimination, the French infantry unit "Tarfur" causes the game to crash when he's included in a custom battle, and he crashes it against numerous opponents so it's just him. Not sure if he causes the campaign battles to crash as well but if he did probably nobody ever noticed because nobody plays early French.

I think there are more game crashers on Super Early as well and I'm determined to root them out, then go for the super late units. FYI I haven't found any Early Units that are empty handed that I've tested so far besides the ones I already listed.

As an aside, for your patch, could you kindly lower the upkeep value of Byzantine Cavalry? I think they added an extra digit in there or something, but the upkeep value of that unit is totally out of proportion to its ability in combat

Oh, and the Boyars. I know this isn't you, but the Boyars are friggin' incredible! Three units of them chewed a whole army of spearmen and axemen units. ARRGH!

Yeah CutePuppy you're right about the Tarfurs. I don't play on double unit size so I never noticed it.

New project guys. Unlike Eastern Promise, I SWEAR to you, this one will get off the ground. Expect it by about October. Check out the thread in the Engineers Guild. Just the nearly finished map at the mo, not details or names yet. That's why a patch hasn't been forthcoming.

Hope you understand.

Can't tell you much at the moment but I can tell you it will be medieval not viking period. There will be two periods, the later one set during the hundred years war.

Maybe that's caused by the unit size. I think a unit of tafurs consists of 200 men by default, and if you play with large or huge unit size, the game will crash, because the engine can't handle units with more than 200 men in it.
