So if u cheat u cant do anything? I tried using the ctrl+x cheats and none of them worked.

Click to expand...

Only a few of the cheats actually trigger the cheater achievement, they are the ones ManOfHonor described.

You can click CTRL-X to your hearts content, it wont trigger.

If CTRL-X doesnt work, you probably havent enabled cheats in the launcher for the game (or you are trying to level up a high level trooptype that requires many clicks).

Hmmm... As far as I remember, Tau "Greater Good" is only for Tau. No?

Click to expand...

Its a dogma that the Tau uses (applies to everything in their culture i believe, their dealings with others, etc. But ultimately its only for the Tau, yes).

Yes, the Tyrani...erm.. i mean Zerg are rather single minded

I'll show you "greater good", you blue madman

ManOfHonor said:

Hmm, less Protoss, more Elf! I always thought that the Elf analogue wasn't supposed to be as precise as it is.

Click to expand...

You know that the Protoss *are* Eldar ?   (Blizzard blatantly copied everything about Warhammer for their "Warcraft" series). Some say that Blizzard was supposed to develop an actual Warhammer game but that Games Workshop pulled out of the deal forcing them to change the name. I dont know.. all i do know is that they settled out of court for the plagiarism.. and then Blizzard launched WoW....lol (i bet GW would have liked a piece of that pie).

Eldar are essentially space elves, same general story, same decadence, same "haughtiness", etc.

I suppose I need to read a bit more than Inquisition, Adeptus Astartes, and Imperial Guard books.
Now I just need to finish The Gaunt's Ghosts series first..

Click to expand...

Sounds like you have an excellent start there
The only two books that i've read (from the black library) that had Farseers in them (not only as targets, hehe), was

Farseer - William King (excellent book, and excellent author. I recommend anything by him).
Shadow Point - Gordon Rennie (not quite as good.. its prequel "Execution Hour" is one of the best BL books i've read though).

Edit: Might as well change the title of this thread to "Winter War- Discuss!"

hehe, definitely

ManOfHonor said:

Hey I totally conceded those two points in my posts
Nierra's posts have a significantly different slant, however they were still 90% factual... With those two noted exceptions.

Click to expand...

True that

Darn you placid for posting before I could finish posting! (  )

lol, sorry

Though Nierra is not really wrong about anything, other than that the Finns surrendered immediately after breaching the Mannerheim line, in my opinion, and in my opinion only, that may just be due to what I consider immediately and what Nierra considers immediately, I also count the fact that the Finns were trying to negotiate throughout the entire war, it was not a sudden "Oh ****!" moment. The rest is purely a matter of opinion, though opinions I don't entirely agree with. Edit: Oh, wait... Well, calling the Mannerheim the best possible defenses at that time is... Debatable, the best Finland could field, yes, though I already covered this in a previous post!

Click to expand...

I consider him wrong on several accounts

He makes the Mannerheim line sound like the Maginot line. The Mannerheim line was very flimsy by comparison, and also very incomplete when it was attacked.
He makes it sound like the Russians attacked uphill... naked.. in a one way blizzard, when they in reality had an overwhelming superiority in pretty much everything.

And so on

Nierra, you are wrong on so many counts here i dont even know where to start

But to make it as short as possible (and not de-rail the thread too much) :

1. The Soviets had incompetent leaders (Stalin had purged 13 of 15 army commanders, 8 of 9 admirals, 50 of 57 army corps commanders, 154 out of 186 division commanders, 16 of 16 army commissars, and 25 of 28 army corps commissars). This was still *very* evident when Germany attacked a couple of years later.
2. The Finns had outdated equipment, even worse than the Russian gear.
3. The Finns had 30 6 ton tanks from WW1. They had no anti tank weapons. The Russians had about 5000 modern tanks commited (sources vary).
4. The Finns had just over 100 old planes in its airforce. The Russians had 3500 committed to the offensive.

And to add insult to injury. When the winter war began, the Finns had a total of 200.000 rounds of artillery ammunition, and 75.000 rounds of howitzer ammunition stored. Russian artillery shot over 200,000 rounds at the 2nd Division alone in a span of 6 hours during their February-offensive.

I dont believe there is any other way.

They are too high level to free (if other warbands have some captured).

Woah woah woah, so you're telling me that there's some tournament held at the beginning of each month that gives a qualis gem as it's prize? What city is this in, I never knew about this! How is it possible to join such a thing?

Click to expand...

It said Noldor tournament, so i imagine the Noldor city (never been there myself, not played the mod enough)

Treebeard said:

It's an error happening at the function "store_distance_to_party_from_party". The function takes two party ID:s; the first is the Marshal's party's ID and the second is the Marshal's target's party ID. It seems one of these party ID:s is no longer a valid Party ID in your current game. Most likely it is the target party ID that is invalid. The affected code part is standard WB code so it could be a generic error.

Great, thanx for the answer

Not seen it again (i started a new game for safeties sake since i was only a few days in), so i guess it was just a "hiccup" by the game.

Hi all

Relatively freshly installed game, and installed the mod a few days ago.

I get a script error, opcode 2281 invalid party 257 line number 381
at script: decide_faction_ai
at script: decide_faction_ai

Tried to search on it and found that it had something to do with Marshals ?

In my game i am only a week or so in, i have no holdings, i am not aligned with anyone, etc (nor do i have any active quests).  I dont think i've even spoken with a lord yet. Is it just a "generic" error ?

Alexandreta said:

Well i have problem that i cant visit a lady . And time to time in the side appers red words wich says that some courtship lady numbers arent right . Plz tell my have to fix it if nobodu else have this

Click to expand...

Same problem, downloaded and installed it today. Overall a very nice mod, but its kind of silly that i get invited to the French faction, and less than a day later the English and French makes peace, hehe (thats not a bug per se, just...strange)

Lots of courtship script errors, pops up every now and then (i imagine the lady you are courting wants to send you a message or something like that..

Upon swearing my oath of fealty to the French, i went to Paris (there was also a feast there). I joined the feast, swore my fealty to the king, then started talking to the ladies. There were two queens, and one said she was the father of some guy (i didnt note down the names, i was busy falling out of my chair laughing, hehe).

ahh, i'll look at that, thanx a lot

Ãbyss said:

They should be your villages the moment you take them over :/

Click to expand...

Its strange in that the game recognises that the villages belongs to your faction (they become your kingdoms color), yet are ruled by nobody so they are for all practical purposes neutral (you dont get any money from them, just the default neutral options). If the solution had been easy though, Saxondragon and team would already have fixed it

SCGavin said:

As I understood him his problem was that the villages tied to a town aren't automatically given to him when he takes that town. That's true for me, too. Those villages stay unclaimed, unless I go to my steward and claim them.

Click to expand...

Yup, that is exactly the case. The "problem" with it is that i usually dont have any vassals at that point in the game (lots of things that have to click in place at once, running into a lord you have a high standing with from previous captures / releases, then defeat him, then being lucky in capturing him), and as such, are unable to gift them to myself. So they stay ruled by "no one" until i get one

Another thing that is probably not a bug per se, but very annoying is that i loaded up on top tier troops, and went after a Noldor patrol hoping to get some good gear. After defeating them, i was "stupid enough" to use the prisoner dialogue to release the prisoners. This gave me too much standing apparently (indifferent), that i am now unable to attack the Noldors at all, hehe. (only dialogue option is "leave").

Now i know to store my Noldor prisoners somewhere until i actually *want* good standings
