XVI -XVII mod

[cegorach]

I've been playing 1.5 - playing far too much. I started with the Early campaign, which looked great, but sometimes got "culture ID" errors with a number like "16" or something and some CTDs

-----------> Hmmm you are first person to report those error messages, I will check if possible.



1) Do AI nations only use "War Contribution" for a couple of years just like you tell us human players? I noticed sometimes after taking a territory that an AI player had already established it. If the AI isn't controlled perhaps you should consider scrapping this feature, IMHO.

--------> AI doesn't remove it, but I don't mind it because this way it gets large amount of cash quickly, besides the building causes much unhappiness so it should use more soldiers to garrison provinces with it making them harder to conquer. AI can use it and it shouldn't cause any troubles because the engine doesn't allow these. HUMAN player however should scap it becuase he doesn't know the hardcoded limits as the AI and of course knows that the structure is temporary only.
Still if AI uses contribution so much opressing its people you can consider extermination of this faction fully justified...



2) I liked the Med being made effectively separate, but as the English I couldn't even later build ships in the Med, so could only get islands by bribing (yet one or two Turk ships came out to the North Sea!). It would be nice to be able to build ships in the Med if poss......

--------> Corsair Ships are not limited to bigger seas so they could be build in Mid. Ottomans produced galleys in Baltic I guess. Some countries do not have access to galleys, however, I think I will allo them for everyone in the patch no matter if the faction really used these historically.


I went on to play the late campaign which also looked great! But it keeps CTD-ing in 1687 for some reason I can't even begin to guess.

--------> Unusual, but more testing might reveal the problem.

That's all, back to the game........
