Would anyone be interested in beta testing the 6.0 (in total secrecy ofc!)?

Definitely!

I am interested, although I'm not able to play a lot in this period. You can PM me the details if that's alright with you.

The full 6.0 will be out soon so there's no point me giving you a beta version if you don't have much time to test it. Keep your eyes peeled and it should be out within a week or two - well that's the plan anyway.

[kepler]

I agree, good luck with the development!

[assyriawest]

Thanks. I am looking forward eagerly to see what you have changed.

[Ampersand]

Lukew, I'd be happy to help test the mod for you. I've got some previous experience helping to fix bugs with Magna Mundi (The mod) and MEIOU, if you care about experience.

[Joghurt]

I`m interested aswell.

[T.j. Arnold]

Actually that's true. The ai never completes the mission but won't cancel it after the cb has expired either. Maybe you should have it fail after 10 years? Or remove the cb expiration?

My point exactly, hope this gets looked at.

Check your inbox Lukew.

Very helpful thanks, see my PM for the fix.

I still think you should include my Venice tweak from one of the previous pages though lol. The vanilla mission for it is dumb. Conquest missions shouldn't aim for the capitol.

This got fixed in 5.2, I think.

Well that still doesn't affect us here yet since lukew doesn't support the beta till it becomes official. Still good news.

Any tips for Byzantium? Which scenario to start with? I keep getting mauled by the Ottos.

Start in 1356, dow the ottos on day 1 (you start with more men), institute liberum veto if necessary.

Okay.

I tried '56 once but attacked one of the sultanates in Anatolian coast. I took on Bulgaria as well and was winning but they spawned 15,000 men out of nowhere and destroyed me (I had all provinces either sieged or occupied). Mamluks DoWed me soon after and I was done

I'll try DoWing Ottos now though can't say I'm very optimistic about this

Took a few reloads but I managed to beat them

Cheers

Is it only me or are the decreased tech disadvantages vor non-euro-countries "slightly" exaggerated? I mean- its 1600 and e.g. Syria has at any province level 3 forts and takes all my Outremer provinces (I`m Holy Roman Empire) by charge?!
My Vijaynagar too has better tech than Lithuania or Byzantium. -.-

[Duke of Britain]

Yeah, on some situations it's a bit exaggerated, looking at Asia in late-game or the muslim world...if a country was like the Ottoman Empire on OTL it would be ok, but not every country being completely on par with Europe by 1650+...removes the point in westernizing.

While vanilla done a horrible job on the other tech groups, i think that there should be a noticeable difference between some tech groups from mid to late game.

[Joghurt]

Yep. Vijaynagar now even overtook England. :-/
