Project Balance

[Meneth]

Id say it plays preety close to vanilla, but not less so than ck2+.

Don't you mean more so?

 

[Meneth]

It still doesn't work, but I've noticed something else:
View attachment 79774

On the "Mali United" bookmark. There is definitely an issue with Africa or with the PB map as a whole. By the way, this is a completely clean install of the game (I'm using my slightly modified localisation files now but it didn't work with the default one anyway (and they can't possibly be the cause of the problem)).

That guy doesn't have any titles in PB vanilla is all.

 

[Meneth]

But there's no Mali, is that normal? Anyway this was not my main problem, there are two counties in the HRE owned by rulers in Africa, and I get a CTD 30 seconds after starting a new game.

The mod I implemented that changes Africa didn't have any history for after 1066, so that's normal yes.

Right, you've got an unmodified copy of CKII? 1.092?
Running only PB? 3.1.23?
In ProjectBalance\history\provinces, do you have 17 0-byte files?

If your answer to all of the above is yes, I'm afraid I've got no idea what's causing your issue.

 

[Meneth]

Is it possible to just get Shattered Balance, and otherwise have the game be normal Vanilla CKII?

No, it relies on triggers and such in PB, and the CB files it uses is PB's with some flags set up so it can be changed around.
PB is quite close to vanilla though.

Hey Meneth. I made a PB (and PB+SWMH) compatible version of Zulu Invasion you can add to the compatible mod list, if you don't mind being associated with this abomination

Ah hell, why not.

Okay, I have a strange issue in my current PB + VIET + SWMH game. The huge Mongol horde seems to be stuck:

Spoiler

The Ilkhanate declared mongol invasion on Georgia a few years ago, but for some reason the war never finished. I started sending my spymaster to remove fow and see what's going on, only to find the mongol army stationed in a province they already conquered and not moving. In the meantime they allied the Golden Horde, and now a 300K army is camping in this province. I'm guessing this is beyond PB, but still...

Sometimes the military AI freezes. Vanilla issue to my knowledge.

 

[Meneth]

Two questions. First, why are my vassals allowed to start a faction to press a woman's weak claim? I'm not a child ruler or a woman. Secondly, why is my 100 opinion vassal joining that faction?

Paradox forgot to code something preventing the first I guess. I'll see what I can do.
The second should never happen unless he's blackmailed into joining. Which is probably what happened. Kill or imprison the faction leader, or make him leave the faction in some other way and your 100-opinion vassal should leave.

Hey Meneth, is it ok if I release a pb compatible version of my High Kings and Consuls mod?

PB compatible versions are generally fine, as long as only minor parts of PB are included.
As yours is a localisation mod, that should be perfectly fine.

 

[Meneth]

To all:
There probably won't be an update tomorrow as the changelog is currently tiny as a result of me being busy in real life. I can't guarantee an update next week either.

 

[Meneth]

I just released PB, Viet and PB+Viet compatible versions of my High Kings and Consuls mod! It adds and changes localisations of generic titles.

Added to list of compatible mods.

 

[Meneth]

How tiny, exactly? It can't be tinier than the last update, can it?

3.1.24
Fixed forging claims in some cases being impossible when it should be possible
No part of Armenia is required any more to go past tier 1 Imperial Reconquest. The western Armenian duchies can still be conquered using the Imperial Reconquest CB if so desired

PB+SWMH Compatibility Patch 1.10
Fixed there being no republic of Utlande

 

[Meneth]

Is it normal that i could assign women as my councillors in my Shia Fatimid game ?

No.
I'll fix that. I think I'll leave the spymaster position open to women though, since that's not really an "official" position.

 

[Meneth]

I am having some compatibility issues with the duel mod, even with the compatibility patch.

You'll have to take it up with the author of that mod.

 

[Meneth]

You probably shouldn't post it on the compatible mods list if it isn't compatible.

It is better to get the author to update it, than have it taken off the list.

Hi,

I've got a bug in one of my recent games where I can't increase crown levies anymore.

It seems that something is wrong with the vassal prisoner option which is crossed out even though none of my vassals are prisoners (theres 75 so I couldn't take an image).
Usally I find that I can wait this glitch out but it has been about 50 yrs so far without change and I need to increase levies before the mongels show up.

So I was wondering if someone could direct me to a way to get rid of the requirement or if there is some other fix I should try.
Cheers

(running PB, viet events traits assests, swmh, pbswmh+)

Do you have any vassals that have an opinion of you below -20? If so that's why.

Hi, I am new here and this is my first post After playing vanilla for some time, I wanted to play Project Balance together with SWMH Maps. However, when I start it up (and yes, I have ticked the compatibility patch), weird stuff appears - Mali and Abyssinia have provinces in Croatia, Poland and Germany (I can remember Bihac, Augsburg and Celje, amongst others, having African rulers), and the HRE has provinces in Africa - all the way from 1066 till 1337. These are also part of the de jure area of the respective kingdoms and empires. I have no idea why, can somebody help me?

BTW, I got the game via steam, could this be the problem?

I take it you've got PB, PB+SWMH, and SWMH all ticked.
Could you check to see if you've got some empty files in history/provinces, both for PB and PB+SWMH? If you don't, that's likely the cause of the issue.

One possible glitch:

Ilkhanate arrived, in my latest Duke of Kent -> Kingdom of Jerusalem game, and it conquered so fast that once the Golden Horde arrived it had literally nowhere to expand, so now the Golden Horde is fighing a Mongol invasion war against the Ilkhanate. Is this WAD, or a glitch?

I've heard that reported for the vanilla game, and I don't touch those events.

 

[Meneth]

Couldn't it be remedied simply by editing the CB? Not allowing Mongol invasions against other Mongol characters?

The Mongols fought one another historically to my knowledge.

 

[Meneth]

Thanks for the quick answer! Do you mean in the files of the vanilla version or the mods? There are no empty files in any of the history/provinces folders (apart from an empty folder in PB+SWMH). What should I do to rectify my problem?

It is likely an issue with the extractor you use. I'd recommend installing 7-zip and using that to extract the mod files.

 

[Meneth]

Hello ! First thing first, thanks for this mod, your work is amazing.

I seem to encounter a little problem, playing as a duke of Wales, I formed the kingdom of Britons, and ever since I keep getting a pop-up teling me that I have no internal peace law, and a button that gives me (or not sometimes) +50 relations with various characters.

What did I do wrong ?

Thanks for your answer

Well, do you have Internal Peace? You should only be getting the event if you hold a dejure kingdom/empire without the Internal Peace lawset, which can happen for a few reasons.
