[2.3.4] FMNO Holy order is "ally" and hires all mercs, does nothing

[Horrux]

Playing as a miaphysite empress of Abyssinia. I had a rebellion where the Order of St. Anthony fought me, which I thought was really strange, as everyone involved in the war was miaphysite. But whatever, it was an easy victory.

Then, while this is ongoing, the muslim empire of Hispania declares jihad for a duchy I hold. After my rebellion was finished, I could not hire the Order of St. Anthony, who instantly became allies instead. Fine, whatever. Then I try to hire the 2 companies of mercs available, and they are both hired by the Order of St. Anthony. Grumble. Whatever. So long as they come to war, it'll help, right?

Thing is, they don't join the fighting, instead patrolling close to home really far from all the fighting. So I am deprived of a very large number of soldiers who are instead doing nothing useful at all...

I'm trying to upload the save as a .zip file, and it's not working...

Upload isn't possible to this forum, you need to upload to an external site and then link it here.

They say it's due to a not-shown filesize limit. Use some external sites like rghost.net and post the link here.

That's a pretty big hurdle for people who are helping a dev for free with their own time, regarding a product they purchased...

A bit like if I buy something at wal-mart, but they won't take a return unless I bring the item to a specific location 300 miles away... I think the Waltons wouldn't be so rich if they did that...

If they allowed you to upload beyond a certain size limit, it would open the service up to abuse.

Since you can upload to thousands of free file hosting sites, there is no need for them to provide an additional service they would be required to moderate. Especially when they don't get anything out of providing you with the service.

While this is true, there's absolutely no reason for upload attempt to result in an "unknown error" instead of message, saying the file is too large.

Except that the forums are still new. Did you report the issue as a bug in the appropriate place?
