@ Drone

Thanks for the LInks



Blind King of Bohemia is right, they are 30 Faction plus the Rebel one so total 31 i em sorry, i need to apologize, i written the campain December 2005 and stopped when i was trying to make a map... it was kind of frustrating after dozen try with no succes. I haven worked on it since last year now i got more time, becouse the company of my dad is going into bankrupty so i have in the moment a lot of free time how it looks .

I used you map for Superearly of you BKB mod i liked you mod a lot specialy the Units, if you would made for me some changes on the map i would even pay you for you time if that is okay. I would just like to make 4 Changes.

As i Remind:

A Landbrigde between Britan and European continent Province "Wessex and Flandern"
A Landbrigde between Europe and Afrika at "Grenada and Marocco"
A Landbrigde between "Danmark and Schweden"
And Croatia i would like to resize and make it bigger i can draw it up on a map
Bosnia should have no sea port and the coastline should be croatian.

I try all of this with the LMM4 but i cant figure out what is going wrong all the time. If you can do the Map for me it would be awesome.


Can i make Screenshots even from when i chose the campain and the factions? What button do i need to press?

F2 and than you will have them stored in TGAs folder in .TGA format.


Can you tell us what your mod is about ? We are all curious I believe.

BKB check your PMs please, I need to know the answer soon.

Its full mate sorry I'll clear it out so you can try again. I think I have some idea what it's about, and its not good news I'm afraid.

Glad to hear you liked my mod Krondor mate. The land bridges are easy to do but the Croatia/Bosnia thing is a bit more difficult. If you send me your startpos file I can do the landbridges for you but I'm afraid I don't have the time to edit the strategy map. If you download the LMM and follow the instructions carefully you should be able to do it. I know it seems daunting at first but perservere and you'll get the hang of it in no time. PM me first so I can give you my e-mail address.

Hmmm...

Isent there another Map maker or ist LMM the only one?

If so it got problems with my hardware/software i guess...


How do i upload screenshots on this Side into a posting?

@ Blind king of Bohemia

Can you send me the "Ref_Future" file for LMM for the Map Superearly? I would just like to try something maybe it works and i have a map then.

What do i need to set in the Startpos file to add Land Bridges? Could you just copy a example here so that i can see would be nice ;-)

How do i upload images here in the post?

Krondor, I think you've sparked the interest of many bored MTW modders out there! Well done!

I've limited my fledgling modding attempts to non-map changes; so I can't help with that. The LMM is way too esoteric for me. It seems, from what I've seen, to entail lots of experimentation with the files until what you do and the LMM rules makes sense.

Changes to the startpos files to add the land bridges are relatively easy; but I think BKB is helping with that. It just involves changing the info in the SetNeighbor list of neighboring provinces for that era's text file. Adding, for example, ID_Flanders to the line that starts SetNeighbors:: ID_Wessex and then also adding ID_Wessex to the line that begins SetNeighbors:: ID_Flanders and so on.

These changes will add the land bridges to the game, although they won't make changes to the map itself; and you'll be able to move units (as will the AI) across these new land bridges.

I'd very much like to try out your mod when you finish it, though! Would you be willing to post it for us to play? I'm sure BKB or someone else here can give you some information on how to do that.

What i did in the campain:

I changed Provice Valures like this one for example:

SetAttributes:: ID_CONSTANTINOPLE "Constantinople" 10 ORTHODOX_CULTURE ARID AT_EASTERN_EUROPEAN -1 9500 "Constantinople Castle_xzy" INLAND HILLY NO_RIVER TRUE


I was Rising the Rebellion trigger in ordinary provinces from 0 to 5 and on main one like Constantinoble from 1 to 10 some Rebellios one Like Scotland what had before 3 has now 15. that means for a Province with the Valure 5 you need at least 1000 Men Garnisation to keep it away from upraising. That is specialy fun When you get invaded you you army is nearly destroyd and you try to escape into the castle and the enemy is in Siege with you the chance that a Royal Rebellion start to fight you enemy is very high if the opponet has a small army. And on the other hand you need strong garrnisons to keep you servants under kontroll or you deal with the same problems like the Western-Roman empire did when they where running out of troops. Troop managemed become more important then before when you can hold a province with like 100 men in the orginal game... it was way to low i think, imagine 100 men keep the order in Province and the Peasants dont even think about Revolution

I incresed the Income of all Provinces and the price for Building trops are expansive to buy but cheap to maintrain. For example Constantinople gets 9500 Gold ( changed Florins into gold ) per turn. but some building allready need about 20000 Gold to build and the construciton time is longer, for example on some castles in europe they build for 30 years till completion so i wanted to make it more Real. but i em still on the balancing at this point.

Another effekt on it is if you raid a Province like the Vikings and burn all down you get a lot of gold and on the other hand if you got a few provinces you can handle it like the russian did with Napolion how had 900000 Men at his Grand Army and the Russian just 470000 they burned everything in front of the french to keep them starving and the provinces will go into rebellion once they are not enought or no troops in a province and that keeps the enemy bleeding till you army is strong enought for a conterstrike.

This was my idea of strategic play


I did some usefull changes at the Units too, for example i made it possible to Recrut Princess, so you can just recrut a lot of them to tie you generals to you stronger and keep Rebellions into a smaller Level, everyone who want to add it into his campain here is the Princess Data just replace it with the old data.

Princess PRINCESS 10000 0 1 0 80 1 1 DISCOURAGED "POVERTY_STRICKEN(15.1), DESPERATE_DEFENCE(15.1), CATHOLIC_EXPANSIONIST(120.8), CATHOLIC_NAVAL_EXPANSIONIST(120.8), CATHOLIC_TRADER(151), CATHOLIC_CRUSADER_TRADER(151), CATHOLIC_EXPANSIONIST_CRUSADER(120.8), CATHOLIC_DEFENSIVE_CRUSADER(120.8), POPE(75.5), CATHOLIC_DEFENSIVE(120.8), CATHOLIC_ISOLATIONIST(75.5), ORTHODOX_DEFENSIVE(120.8), ORTHODOX_EXPANSIONIST(120.8), ORTHODOX_STAGNANT(151), MUSLIM_PEACEFUL(151), MUSLIM_EXPANSIONIST(120.8), MUSLIM_DEVOUT(120.8), BARBARIAN_RAIDER(60.4), REBELS(151), CLOSE_TO_SUPPORT_LIMIT(63.42)" { CASTLE} ALL_PERIODS NO NO "own_princess_tooltip1, own_princess_tooltip2, other_princess_tooltip1, other_princess_tooltip2" ALL_FACTIONS "CATHOLIC, ORTHODOX" ALL_PERIODS ALL_FACTIONS




I em still working on the Units to Balance them, i was Putting a few Party together like Almohads, Ottoman Turks, Egypt and made of them "The Islamic Union" they keep invading a lot becouse i made ther units cheap, for Example the Muslim Peasant cost just 10 Gold and no Maintraince the only unit in the game what is for free to keep



So if someone can help me with the map i would be very happy
