Make sure the .cfg file is marked read-only AFTER you alter it. I had similar problems when mine was not, because the game overwrites the changes to the .cfg file.

Just in case you don't know how to make it read only, Ignoramus, go to windows explorer, right click on the file and choose properties. At the bottomg there should be a read-only box you can tick. Tick it, press apply and ok.

What econ and TC said.

You don't need errorlogging though unless you are modding yourself.
Btw, you have been playing KOTR without the fix all along? I remember prodding you about this several months back.

It's midnight in Australia right now, so I suspect Ignoramus has called it a day.

The map I chose for the sally is the Eifel Mountains map, with no settlement present. The loyalists were under orders to pull back to a bridge if attacked. They could not make it and are forced to turn and give battle. Staufen is in quite mountainous terrain, going by the maps you get in campaign if you fight there. Hummel should set up as player 1.

If Ignoramus can install the mod and send me a valid screenshot of the final battle result by 11pm UK time (10am AST), then I will accept it. Otherwise, we will move on to a siege assault.

Judging by historical context I'd say Hummel would need a specific invitation from the Kaiser and a guarantee of his safety before attending the Diet. What sort of building is required to host the Diet session? Fritz is looking for post-war political capital and he has a bit of money left, maybe I could build something at Hamburg since I doubt I'll be allowed (Or prepared) to march on Arhus just yet.

As I mentioned, I think if Hummel can wipe out the siege army then he's on an even footing with the loyalists. Athalwolf's troops were shaken by his approach last time and Ehrhart can't possible recruit enough forces to replace the men he's about to lose. I can't imagine what taking a citadel would look like as a PvP battle, but it would have to be nightmarish. Further, if you consider the ammo stats on the cannons from Bern the attackers are going to have to choose between holes in the walls or towers tearing them up through three levels.

personally i'd go for something in the middle, like nürnberg (might propose a diet vote to have that name changed to the porper spelling :P)

actually speaking of diet votes, i was toying with the idea of a strictly IC Reichs-court to deal with all sorts of charter interpretation, new duchy, land allocation etc. matters. if we wanted to make the emperors role mroe interesting we could make it quite heavily emperor controlled, or perhaps vice versa.

any thoughts?

Don't worry about the location of the Capital/Diet. econ21 and I have worked that out.
