CK2Plus - Balance improvements, more kingdoms and empires, more ambitions and plots

[cwhomer]

.22, Stamford Bridge:

Players are unable to transport most of William the Conqueror's Army across the Channel, as you can only raise transports for 3,700 troops and William has a force of 6,640, which after splitting leaves you with stacks of 4,500 and 2,140.

Hmm, that's a problem. I'm not sure how to fix it though. Will have a look.

I don't think there's anything you can do about that, that's a Vanilla thing too.. (but much worse in Vanilla as it gives you like 10,000 troops with only like 6,000-7,000 transport capacity)..

Whenever I've played that scenario, I always had to split my army in two to get the first wave across, than simply do the 2nd wave right after. (than merge them when they are seiging)

Apparently there was a major bug in the buildings file. I've updated with a fix. Compatible with 0.22 (if anyone even had time to start a game in 0.22...)

Delete any version older than 0.22 before installing this.

0.23:
- Fixed a bug in the buildings file that was making city ports not provide any galleys.
- Reduced the size of initial Mongol stacks, to better match the smaller levies in this mod.

Yeah. I'm gonna hold off on integrating any more mods for a while though, it's getting to be a bit much work keeping a dozen beta stage mods up to date.

If you guys repeat what mods you'd like included, I'll put together a wishlist and review it in a few versions.

Well if I am successful at integrating it myself I would be glad to just keep doing it and sending you the files!

I'd like to see Rise of Empires included. I personally think that if you are going to add weird ahistorical empires then you might as well include that so that players can form their own weird ahistorical empires

0.22 is looking good, thanks for the great mod.

 

[timetogetaway]

I second the call for Rise of Empires. It is an entirely optional thing too so players who do not want it can just not carry out the decision!

I'll add it to the wishlist but I'm not a huge fan of creating a ton of titular titles, since a big reason for my ahistorical empires is to make management of large realms easier (and its pretty nightmarish with a titular title).

That sounds great.

I am playing with 1.04 and 0.23, and mercs cost 0 gold to hire. Was this intended?


Here is a screenshot

That's... interesting. Let me look.

EDIT: Found the issue. Fix coming.

Looks good. I have updated from .17 to .23 and will be starting over my Wittlebach story.

I agree with you there. I'm against the Rise of Empires mod being integrated since it is very unhistorical.

The problem now is that even after splitting them, you can't move the 4,500 stack across, since it can't be split any further. This wasn't the case before the 1.04 patch or with previous CK2Plus versions, so something has changed. I'm guessing that it's a 1.4 thing now that I think about it. Not a big deal since you can just the next scenario a couple months later, but it's something people should be aware of.

 

[Wizzington]

Yet another bugfix update. Compatible with .22 and .23. Delete any version older than .22 before installing.

0.24:
- Fixed several major bugs with mercenaries.

Thanks for the quick fix!

It's fixed as of 0.23. With the fixed ports William has enough ships to move it all over in one go.

I agree with you there. I'm against the Rise of Empires mod being integrated since it is very unhistorical.

You do not have to use it, it is entirely decision based. Also Franconia and Britannia are grounded in historical reality?
Once the game starts up history is pretty much thrown out the window. Who is to say that my Duke of Barcelona that holds several ducal titles cannot become King of Barcelona?

CK2Plus Campaign Map Mod

Here is the CK2Plus Campaign Map Mod... mod. The files are relatively easy to incorporate, Wiz, so I can just keep updating it as a separate element if you would like. That way you could keep the size of Wizmod down, if you are so inclined.

 

[alex0809]

Lol, I already thought that was intended. Well, at least I gave the Pagans a good beating. Is the game savegame compatible.. or rather, does it actually fix the issue with an old savegame too?

 

[Wizzington]

Yes, you can keep playing any 0.22 or 0.23 game.
