[MOD] Lux Invicta

[riknap]

Sure, I can make a mod copy of sunset_invasion.txt, keeping the DLC dependency in the triggers but scaling back the event troop spawns... just give me a good idea of reasonable (or reasonably challenging) troop size.

Assuming they come at at the 13th century, the largest realms had around 50-60k. To account for the AI's assault on by then high fort-level castles (i increased fort levels a lot while trying to keep garrison sizes approximately similar with levies), an initial of maybe at most around 90k. It should make the fragmented western states capable of pushing them back after they lose steam in brittania/hispania. That's a rough guess though.

Also, I checked the save and it seems that most of your early republics have been replaced by feudal dukes with the same liege by that time (if their realm wasn't conquered). Should I try buffing the early city upgrades to help them survive revocation wars (assuming those happen)?

My latest observe game had Venice and Skane succumb to conquests (Hospitallers and Jylland respectively) while Genoa's republic survived the conquest of its parent somehow, and was independent.

Version 0.6f5 uploading now (Gotland split, a few other minor changes.)

Have you considered making a changelog for the updates?

 

[richvh]

I'm not disciplined enough to record my changes as I make them... and my memory isn't good enough to remember everything I do after the fact.

III
has anyone else tried an observe game with the build-tech overhaul? does it make the game progress slower? or am I just doing observe wrong (ie. do I need to zoom in to make it go faster or something? it currently goes at around 5 days/second).

Yeah, I noticed it was going very slow as well. I just assumed it was my computer though.

 

[richvh]

I haven't tried the build-tech overhaul, but my observe games seem to be going slower since 1.09. It might not be your overhaul.

sort of good to know, I was afraid it was causing stuff to lag, and I'd have to reallocate modifiers :laugh:
edit: here's a screen of the observe game I was referring to. uploaded mostly for fun (not sure if the build-tech had any effect though)

When i said the game crashed due to clicking on the religion tab, I mean the top left tab for your religion. not the map mode tab

 

[riknap]

a little opinion request. I'm stumped on balancing garrison/fort-level values

suppose a castle has reached 14 fort level, and has 2,000 men guarding it. It takes a 12,000 strong force 90 days before even able to assault it. Then doing so at first opportunity simply gets that 12,000 strong force obliterated.
is it preferable then to reduce fort levels, or to reduce the amount of men garrisoning it to give the assault force a chance? I mean, it kinda makes more sense to have less men guarding a castle then men campaigning away, but won't that make the castle surrender faster? since I think shaytana probably wanted field battles to take precedence over county-swarming, I'm leaning towards make capturing castles a risky proposition but not making sieges take too long as was probably complained before.

Is anyone else having a weird effect on female Middle Eastern faces? For some reason, most of the Iranian and Arabesque women seem to have a strange mark running down different parts of their face, and its different for each person. Oddly enough, it's for every Middle Eastern culture except Bedouin and Sabaean.

Hey, quick question.

Is there any way to edit the mod so that when used in a language other than English (Spanish for me) countries don't have weird names?

Some countries have good names, but many have weird names like "e-byzantium" for Imperium Romanum. I would keep the country names in English and be fine with that

there are no localisations for languages other than english. that causes the tag name to be used. not sure where the localisation for country names are though

 

[richvh]

Most Lux-specific title names are in localisation/1_titles.txt, but to make it usable in any language but English you'd have to do a massive amount of editing, adding text to events etc.

Isn't it spelled with an i though, as in Imbecile? o

I was just made aware of this mod and it looks pretty interesting. However, I couldn't find anywhere what DLC are required and which are recommended. Could someone enlighten me?

 

[richvh]

Mongol, African and Russian face DLCs are required, none others are needed (unless you want to play a Muslim, in which case you need Sword of Islam, or use retinues, in which case you need Legacy of Rome.)

If you're looking for more suggestions for extra republics, Bergen and Lubeck were both rather large historically, but given the proximity to Skane and Gotaland, maybe not the best idea. Since Hamburg is relatively close to Bremen, that might add more competition for Hoorn. If that doesn't work, Edinburgh was also a nifty little trade place, and since it's under the Kingdom of Alba, it could work for the compatible duchy.

Yeah, fife and possably somewhere in Ireland would be good, I'll take a look to see how hard it is to add them.

 

[riknap]

I updated the LIBRT module (am I aware that the naming scheme has changed with every upload, but ... oh well ). Changelog and file download is here.

I is idiot's ietter, ies?

 

[richvh]

The problem with adding any republics in Britain or Ireland is you have to displace a Shaytana-designed ruler (or at least demote to baron) unless you want them to become patricians.
