[Ramses II CP]

Men of Swabia to address the situation at Rennes, I have been looking for a bargaining chip with the English anyway. I am fully comfortable with you performing a raid and me exchanging that province to the English for military access, as the men of Outremer have requested. If there is a legal objection to this matter then I can only ask that, rather than conquer it, we place it under a long term siege and leave the matter to be resolved by the next Chancellor.

Well done Duke Arnold, your plan sounds excellent and as soon as the Vienna region is clear I will send cannon to you at best speed. They truly are marvelous contrivances, as I've discovered with the simply bombards from Arhus, and I trust you will be pleased. You know I'm quite pleased to finally be back on the offensive in Austria, and if I can reach Stockholm soon, in Franconia too.

OOC: I tried to use the console to remove the Grim Commander trait from Becker, but I couldn't make it work. I was reading more around and I think it's because he's in a city. However, if that caused this bug I'm sorry. I can also go through the Kotrfix reinstall again as well, but I'm starting to wonder if Broken Crescent isn't somehow incompatible with kf. Didn't try to move any characters.

I played both turns of my vanilla 1.3 hotseat campaigns and noticed no oddities. However, now when I load the KotR save now I see the generic Broken Crescent guy-with-dagger icon on DCKs and DFKs in Hungary. It's very possible that this was also true last season and I didn't notice it, but I'm sure it wasn't true of Arnold's troops.

I don't see that icon on our own or any other country's men.

IC:

Indeed Lord Chancellor. I am looking forward to retaking Budapest next season or the one after.

OOC: It's not any Austrian troops but the Hungarian units in the area. There are a few.

OOC: I think I might've also trained sergeant spearmen instead of armoured sergeants in a few places, and typed it wrong in the Rec report. I lined up the training in the middle of making dinner for my kidlet trying to get it done quickly, and clearly that was a mistake. I apologize to anyone who got the weaker units.

[Ramses II CP]

OOC: Actually I trained the right units, just called them the wrong thing. I think I've been doing that for awhile.

I would recommend you having a separate mod folder if you play KOTR that only has the fix files in it rather than a mixture of fix and BC, as anyone without the same configuration as you may well run into incompatibility issues.

[edit]
Uploaded an incomplete KOTR mod folder onto the uploader:
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/...x13MFVlite.zip

Two things to note before using it:
1. It does not have the imperial_campaign folder because that would inflate the size of the archive by 8.5 MB. Just copy/paste your own (vanilla) imperial_campaign folder into the campaign folder.
2. The KOTR.cfg is a copy of my own medieval2.preference.cfg. It might not work with your rig. I recommend you making a copy of your own preference file and renaming it KOTR.cfg (first deleting the existing KOTR.cfg). After doing so, add the following to the top:

[features]
mod=KOTR

You can then run M2TW with KOTRfix only using the KOTR.bat file (make sure its in your medieval2 directory. To run it via desktop, create a shortcut to the bat file and place it on your desktop, no further modification needed)

Before I forget: The KOTR folder goes into your medieval2 directory, not in your data folder. When you download save games for KOTR, they go into the KOTR\saves folder.

Broken Crescent does have it's own folder, unless you mean I should have two MTW2 installs. Can you be more specific? I'll set it up however recommended.

Same here so I have some interest in the matter

If BC has its own folder, but if you load a KOTR save and see BC style units, then the particular data folder that is being loaded for KOTR saves contains BC files.
Two questions:
1. When you load a KOTR save, what do you use to run M2TW? A the suggested shortcut as per KOTRfix readme or via a modfolder?
2. If the former, you have files in your data folder other than the ones from KOTRfix, those need to go. If the latter, you may have a mixture of several different mod files. Best would be if you post a screenshot of the data folder that is loaded when you run M2TW to play KOTR.
