The Prince and the Thane (MOD + WIP)

[TheStrangerOrg]

i like a lot of things you guys have done only it seems to me that Christian Tactics is OP and battles are often won with minimal casualties and full routs (enemy has 0 soldiers left)

Also the new Holy War system is much better, but Islands are a bit weird now. As the Count of Barcelona I cannot declare holy war on the Balearic Islands (Mallorca Menorca). Is there a way to fix this?

idib816,

are you still planning to incorporate new mods at they come out? I'd love it if you did; I think that is what makes your mod so great.

Once again, keep up the great work.

 

[Rambo]

Something will be done about it in next updates

Glad to hear it, I started a game as Duke of Kent, and the King of England had Absolute Crown Authority before 1100. I don't even know how that is possible, but it is true.

 

[Sniggles]

Also, just as a balance commentary, it's really hard to start out as a Duke or Count in a no-authority kingdom or empire, because now that military commanders matter it's really easy to get destroyed if you just happen to get an unlucky spread of leaders in your army. This is another problem that's pretty easily visible with William the Conqueror's forces--whether or not he wins is basically just a luck-of-the-draw roll as to whether or not his armies get good enough commanders to solidly defeat the multitudes of armies that're thrown at him. Is there some way to make Dukes and Counts able to appoint commanders without the king being able to? I see crown authority restrictions as something that should only affect the monarch, not his vassals.

idib816, dont you want to include latest version of Death Causes in your mod? There are not too many changes:
traits\death_causes.txt
events\death_causes.txt
interface\traits.gfx (sections for new traits)
trait icons
localisations

 

[btonton]

I tried this mod and the new events , traits and ambitions are great... but sadly I had quite a few CTD
the error log is very similar to doubtofbuddha with the texture handler and the sound naval battle.

I cut some transferregiment since there are a lot

 

[Slepowron]

I have the same error happening few times at the same date (reloaded to see if it would repeat - it did; I can give you my savegame if that would help), the log is similar to these above:

EDIT: Bad news. I've checked at the Tech Support forum, these problems are apparently a result of the latest patch rather than mod:/.

I already rebalanced the tactics for next update, and I'm pretty sure that for islands you're gonna have to get either a normal claim or a de jure claim, but I will see if I can do something about that also

Thanks for the nice words If mods that are worth incorporating come out, I have nothing against it

It's hardcoded

Apparently it's not my fault, we are going to have to wait until paradox gets it fixed..

 

[Callendor]

The take_title plot isn't working.
I managed to get over 100% plot power, and no decision or event was unlocked. Me, my liege, and the targe were all at peace.


What's the problem?

What's the problem?

If you mean the plot_gain_title I didn't touch it and I remember it worked for me when I did it a game or two ago, but I'll look into it. Is anyone else experiencing a problem with said plot?

 

[Callendor]

Just to know this isn't my own fail- where is the plot decision? In the normal decision place in the intrigue tab, right?

 

[unmerged(208745)]

Yeah should be there You should be able to send a letter to your liege asking for the title, if you have at least 1 plot backer.

Got some strangeness playing as a vassal, more spesifically the Duke of Nyitra; the Hungarian King asked for a contribution from his vassals, and I got the money.The event that gives the money fired for me, but was obviously meant for my liege as his name and portrait is in it. The King still suffered the prestige and piety penalty though...
I seem to remember this happening in an earlier version too, when I played the Duke of Bohemia.

Just found what the problem was and fixed it

 

[Mojshe]

Found a weird bug. Was playing as duke of Toulouse and managed to acquire a claim on Viviers (standard, since I already have a ducal one). The Prince-Bishop declares a War of Independence against the HRE emperor who got excommunicated. I declared a war against Viviers to get the province and a few days later the French king declares a war against Viviers as well (with a ducal cause to get me (Toulouse) another vassal). I managed to occupy all baronies in Viviers and sign a peace treaty what nullified both the Vivier's War of Independence against HRE and the Ducal war of the French king. The HRE emperor now had a claim on Viviers against me - that's understandable. However, the French king now considered me a traitor and got claims on every county within my mini-realm (Duchies of Toulouse and Auvergne + County of Foix). I had to edit the savegame but really - that was a bit weird. I understand that he wasn't able to help me with getting another vassal but to get that mad over me getting the province itself...

Been getting the same error. Only the "[texturehandler.cpp:169]: Couldn't find texture file:" though. So it means we'll just have to wait for another patch? Can't play 1 year withouth getting it, or if I start a new game in 50 years it starts to happen

Are you experiencing CTDs?

 

[Hiems]

Are you experiencing CTDs?

Yup, have to Ctrl Alt Del and close the game.

Edit: Tried with patch 1.04 with my save and it still happened. Dont know about new game though.

And sometimes get error "[sound.cpp:232]: Sound naval_battle_background not found" too.

 

[tlauen]

Sometimes the game just shuts down, and when I check the error log this is what I get:

[Slepowron]

Yeah, according to similar threads on the Tech Support, such records in the error.log are normal and thus are not really a cause for the CTD.
