BKB Super Mod

[cutepuppy]

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,

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.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

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

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

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.

[william the bastard]

YYeeeppeeeehh !!!!

The Return Of The King !!!!

Happy to see you come back to MTW, get no special feelling to RWT.
I just wonder, what timeline you gonna use? And if an era will interfer wiht Crusader Mod?

Anyways, Great job.
Respects.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

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.

[edyzmedieval]

WHOPEEE!!!!

Hopefully there are gonna be many new units....

[bbcrackmonkey]

Are you at least going to fix up the bugs in the current BKB 2.0 mod before doing the new one?

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Yeah I'll be setting aside a day to fix everything in the next week.

Complete List of Bugs I’ve Found for BKB 2.0

(1) Empty Handed units I found last I already reported:
Feudal Foot Knights
Feudal Men-at-arms
Chivalric Men-at-arms
Halberdiers
Almohad Urban Militia
Chivalric Knights
Byzantine Cavalry
Chivalric Foot Knights
Knights of Santiago
Knights Hospitaller
Tuetonic Knights
Tuetonic Sargeants
Knights Templar

(2) Empty Handed units I found this time around
Gothic Sergeants
Handgunners
Gendarmes
Naptha Throwers

(3) All Horse Archer units do not show a primary or secondary weapon when not using it.

(4) Shields:
Moorish Infantry shields seem too big, especially from the side angle, Danish Noble shields seem too big. Croatian Militia shields are huge enough to be used as rafts for fording the Danube river if need be and they could be used to shield one of those 1500 pound men you see on Jerry Springer from archer fire.

(5) Synagogue:
Jewish Synagogue for Egyptians crashes the game when you right click on it.

(6) Byzantine Cavalry:
Not sure if it's a bug but Byzantine Cavalry are completely worthless as their upkeep is far too high for their stats and their build requirements are far too demanding considering you get much better units of the same type (Cuman Horse Archers) earlier.

(7) Multiple Religions:
In some provinces, the religions can sometimes turn out to be 100% Catholic, 100% Islamic, and 35% Pagan. If you don't believe me I can send you a screen shot but I'd prefer you take my word for it. I think it has something to do with Heretic Churches in those provinces.

Keep on fighting the good fight and making your mod, BKB, you've done a fantastic job so far and I can't wait until you've got all the bugs kinked out

Here's to a finally completed Mod, one that surpassed all the other MTW ones, (or at least the ones I've played) and to future successes with whatever endeavors you choose.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Patch is done guys. Its 4.5MB, and is an auto-install. I will upload it tomorrow. It fixes most problems, including:

- Empty handed units
- Novgorod and Celtic priests portrait errors in Early and High
- Egyptian Synagogue problem
- The 'could not translate' message when a Crusade base (Chapter House) is destroyed
- Ships not coming out in the seas where the ports were
- Teutonic Knights/Chapter House problem
- Few more

Its nothing major. Whatever I didn't fix that people asked its either because I couldn't (the more than 100% religion in some provinces sometimes) or because I didn't deem it necessary, like the shields that BBCrackMonkey listed. The horse archers always had their weapons only when attacking, so that has not been remeded. Short of anything else really significant arising, this is my final goodbye to the Super Mod. Rest assured though, a good deal of it will reappear in my next project, which is all systems go now. Thanks for all the support guys, hope you enjoyed it and continue to do so as much as I have making it.

P.S. Oh I forgot - there will most likely be a tech tree within the next couple of weeks also, so ignore most of that sentimental crap!

[bbcrackmonkey]

Here here BKB, a fine mod your mod is, superior to all others that I have tried. Thankyou for all your hard work and dedication.

[Duke Dick]

a fine mod your mod is, superior to all others that I have tried.

I wouldn't go that far myself, yes its good, but not *that* good.

[Duke Dick]

sorry bkb, that was my mate who posted that for 'a laff' apparently.

You know how i feel about your mod, so apologies mate.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Here is is, better late than never:

BKB Super Mod Version 2.1 Patch

[PittBull260]

Here is is, better late than never:

BKB Super Mod Version 2.1 Patch

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Yes mate but remember (and this to everyone) it will ruin you current campaigns.

[peacedude]

Stupid question but i have downloaded BKB mod and i click on open on the document it went through the usual installation thing and eventually said install is complete etc. but whenever i paly MTW its just normal MTW no mod at all. Am i missing something i have forgotton to do?

Thanks for any help

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Install it into your Total War folder not the MTW folder.

[The Grand Inquisitor]

Have any of the units undergone stat changes between v2 and v2.1?

[Am I going to have to redo my crib sheets?]

BTW thanks for the hours of fun you have provided with this mod.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

A couple, Balkan Warband, Ottoman Sipahi and Vlach Auxilliaries I think. Plus some units have had their building requirements and faction availability altered.

[The Grand Inquisitor]

Cheers. Looks like I'll be redoing my spread sheets at the start of the summer holidays.

[Magister Pediyum]

what do need to build to have some varda swordsmen

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Varda Swordsmen? I don't believe I made that unit. What faction are you playing as?

[Magister Pediyum]

Byzantium super early Vardaratroi or something

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Oh yeah sorry about that. Damn I didn't make them trainable! Blast. You want me to upload a Super Early startpos that amends that or do you know how to add building requirements to units yourself?

[Magister Pediyum]

Could you show me how!!Now bkb is just plain great no more errrossss no more crtd sea patches work great just one hell of a job BKB

[edyzmedieval]
