Anno Domini

[Re Berengario I]

Would it work with the mod switch if it had to? I get a bit nervous when I have to install anything in the vanilla folder.

Version 1.0 won't work with mod switch. Nothing we can do about it as it's CA design decision if we want to modify some files (some aren't read from a modswitch folder ), so cleanest approach is using a vanilla installation. Backup your files and savegames.

Version 0.92b is using mod switch and it'll be the last one to use this method.

did you create that monastery thingy?

Anyway... about .92b:

Been playing with Byzantines... Got all of Asia-Minor and the Balkans... overextended myself and now Venice is no more and I have despicable rep... City growth is enormous... maybe you could put it down to decimals (0,3% instead of 3% per annum, for exemple)

think I found a bug: My faction leader had 4 royal titles... (Out of some 7 I conquered). He dies, his son gets 4... but the Basieleus one, among others, doesn't show... So I have a few crappy ones and my king's stats are worse off than with the inicial title...

Is there a limit to royal titles/retinue?

oh, btw, I think a lot of people (myself included) prefer not to mess with the original install... Is there any technical reason you want to install on top or is it just for confort's sake?

I just explained in the message before the reason why, some modded files can be read by the game only if they are in the original folders so no reason to put some in the modded dir, some into the original, etc... it would be a mess.

Just back up your \data\map folder and the savegames and you're pretty safe as all the other files could be deleted and the game will use the packed ones.

This of course unless CA will change something in the future, actually the modding procedure is pretty unconsistent once we touch certain zones.

Yes the monastery thing is an Anno Domini Modding Wonder (tm) :P
We're particularly proud of the shining gold cross (no offense to muslims who were so kind to let live a lot of ancient monasteries in their lands as the Sinai one, while we christians were always so busy burning synagogues).

About the titles I think the ancillary limits were the same as in RTW/BI but if your old leader got them I don't see why the heir cannot have them also unless you lose some needed region (Constantinople for the Basileus title).

Btw, the old owner of the title have to die before you can acquire the title ancillary. So it's not just province conquering.
