MTW-Redux Beta Released!

[citka85]

Axalon,

I have been playing MTW off and on the past 12 years; and I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work in putting out this mod. It truly is something different, and the feature that I like the most is the level of difficulty. It really can become a struggle. Secondly, the unit sizes reflect a certain realism to me, as the less populated nations should not have many units with 100 man units - a second part to that is the addition of the champion units that can reek havoc on you if you aren't careful. Just simply awesome, and this is coming from a guy that is all about the "realism" that a "game" should portray. Just an awesome modification.

Thank you!

Hi guys, sorry for the late replies here...

...Was about things like "Coptic Nobles" which weren´t, iirc, available in 1003. Gnome editor does give a lot of info, but (maybe it´s the version I use) not about regional availability, only some cultural. Some other units (sorry, haven´t written down the moment I thought "something´s different here") have changed availability (were in 1003, aren´t in 1004e)as well. I´ll look it up again and list what I found out.

The RXB1004 introduced a few new units to Redux... If memory serves, these were... “Coptic Nobles”, “Armenian Nobles”, "Desert Skirmishers", Naptha Runners, -Infantry and -Regiment... The RXB1005 introduces 2 new additional units - “Halberdiers” and the “Mounted Scouts” which will actually replace both “Hobilars” and “Byzantines Scouts”-units as these are now removed from Redux, as of RXB1005. Also, “Khazar Horse Archers” will be available in Khazar and Crimea for all factions. The Greatswords Guard will also be available for the Italians (and Lombards) once enough tech has been developed in northern (modern) Italy (the unit will only be available there, along with all the previous German zones).

hi i wonder if you can tell me what i doing wrong i have tryed to install the mod both the 1st 1 plus the vi patch but when i try to run the game it says faction not found papcy just wondering what i doing wrong ?
cheers in advance guys.brian

See Install Emergency... The last 3-4 posts covers that very problem....

...I would advice : install clean MTW and try if it works, then install Redux & try if works, then install Redux patch & try if works.
Such simple procedure can help to understood roots of problem. ...

Thanks Tomas for helping out here... I always appreciate that kind of attitude and effort (and probably others do too), after all it benefits us all. BTW, its sound advice too...

I have been playing MTW off and on...

Its always MUCH more fun to receive some kind of appreciation/encouragement/input for what you do, instead of plain nothing/silence (as is typical of this place). If more people would bother doing what you did right here - posting up a “thank you” with some comments essentially – this place would be a lot more fun to visit, not just for me, but probably for all others as well. You are totally welcome to post some more here if you like. I appreciate the post man...


As ever, thanks for posting guys...

Alright, all da links are up...

The 1005 version upgrades, changes or introduce over 400 files in total, scattered all over the game. It brings many and important changes to Redux, and a whole bunch of totally new stuff and features as well. The new (more intricate) circumstances and designs have been included as to improve and enrich the overall game-experience, and its different stages. The global total provincial raw income of 30.000 fl. has been cut down to 25.000 fl. – the original game have about 32.000 for the same amount of regions (and to that significantly lower prices). The game-world have essentially become poorer all over - every turn - making regional development ever more important to maintain good finances and order. The 1005 includes probably the largest and most diverse tech-tree ever created for MTW. It will matter what you build and in what order, as the pressure is on. If not careful, you might be crushed by rebellions or an invading force before you have secured your kingdom. Trade is more difficult to set up due to prices and pirates. Unruliness and stability-levels have been made a more prominent factors in Redux, forcing you to consider and adapt to these factors more often, especially in poorly developed provinces. Your subjects and nobles are more inclined to rebel against you if there is little or no infrastructure or garrison that ensures regional order. There is a new land-bridge to Ireland from Scotland and plenty of other stuff for you to explore and discover with this version.

Overall, with some of the initial steps taken with the 1004 release, the 1005 version signals a departure from the previous experience and many designs we had in 1001-1003. Redux have evolved and ended up being even tougher and more complex then before. There are many differences and plenty of new designs with this 1005-version and I hope you will like this new direction and experience as much as I do...

Lastly, all found and identified bugs (and errors) have been killed or fixed, as much as possible, and due to some changes in file-structures, this version is NOT save-game compatible with ANY previous versions of Redux. Sorry for that. You must thus start a fresh new game to run beta 1005.

The few people that managed to download RXB1005 (and module B) prior to this post (or today essentially), please re-download it again. I made some last minute changes that hopefully will improve the overall game-experience. Just download, re-install and you guys will be all set (again). The stuff is fully save-game compatible so you can use any previous RXB1005-saves if you like.

As for the rest of you folks, much of the reason I released the 1005 in the first place was so you guys can get a chance to be on the same page as I am, while playing Redux. Its just so much more interesting for me to discuss/babble about the version I am actually working on/playing... Imagine that...
