Yay helping!
Good to hear on the kingdom idea. would probably make playing in the steppes more interesting. huge shame on the prepared invasions though.
Yeah, prepared invasions not really being moddable is pretty sad, sort of like pagan reformation not being moddable is pretty sad.
Not exactly parts. More like all. :ninja: Made a superblob early in the game when the Abbasids and Byzantines kept breaking out in protracted civil wars. I decided to just keep taking more while waiting to battle the hordes. I'd say that the biggest issue with the melting pot is that it caused a few individual characters to change culture randomly, but none of the provinces did. It does seem odd though that a ruler would suddenly change culture when all of his family, court, and vassals have the original culture. It might make sense if the capital were in one of the territories, but I don't personally control any of them.
Having it in the capital for *some* of the events would make better sense indeed and would prevent some messiness. I'll look into other ways to prevent silliness as well.
Cybr; hope your vacation was nice. Did you see my comment on the music pack?
You mean this comment in
this post here? Hmm. Well, assuming the code is fine (i.e. songs aren't spelled wrong in the code, etc.) that sort of thing only happens if the music files can't be read for some reason - they aren't in the right folder, they don't have the .ogg format, etc. I've had that happen now and then.
Just out of idle curiosity...what exactly is it about Immersion that makes it incompatible with PB+SMWH? I like the ambitions, and the events it has, that for some reason, aren't in the events module. I mean, I assume the History folder and the titles aren't. But what else?
Titles, history (including character, province, title, and possibly war history), and cultures are the main ones. There's also some minor incompatibility with CBs, though it's nothing really gamebreaking I think. All of this stuff, particularly the titles/history/cultures are relatively easy to handle despite their large scope (I'll frankly just delete most of VIET's stuff and let SWMH's override it), but the main hassle would be that some of VIET's events, decisions, and so forth need to be changed to account for the new titles, history, and culture. Because I don't have a photographic memory of everything I added, it will be making sure all of VIET's stuff is properly adapted to the SWMH map, that will prove the greatest challenge in making PB+SWMH and VIET compatible when I tackle it in the near future.
Heya, just a heads up about the converter. While its basically done, after running some tests I started noticing some pretty weird bugs (for example, norse are being converted into norse-gael, most of scandinavia is irish in 867
) so I decided not to release it until Im happy with the results Im getting, which right now Im not. Problem is that Im catching a plane tonight and will be away forom the computer for some days so Ill have to pospone the release for another week or so. I hope its not too big a dissapointment.
Btw isnt Scotland supposed to be Pictland in 867? I was running mad trying to figure out why the convert had a scotland with most provinces pictish, but then I noticed it indeed is Scotland in PB+VIET.
Take your time with that, I'm glad to hear you've got a relatively stable thing working.
Unless something went wrong Scotland is localized as Pictland at the 867 start, but an event should come up a little after 900 changing it to Scotland.
I'm playing PB+VIET and I wanted to try the Khitan scenario but I couldn't find any Khitan ruler. Is this WAD?
As superskierpat says, it is a placeholder of sorts. Originally I assumed I would've made the Khitan/Chinese-themed stuff much sooner, so I added a bookmark with it. Turns out of course that I was wrong. I might add in Khitan lords for the 1141 starts onward, before I actually get to the Khitan/Chinese-themed stuff, simply for the hell of it (even though they won't really have much flavor), but until then yeah it's just a placeholder.
Playing with just VIET core. Is it WAD that Orthodox cannot declare Holy Wars?
Yes. If you're running Immersion there's a customization option to allow them to holy war again, but if you're not and you want to change that I can point you to the relevant parts of the code that need changing.
