"Seriously, what do pirates in the caribbean have to do with fire & sword ?"
They are both set in the same era, with very similar modes of fighting, in a time when cultural globalism was reaching an unparalleled level. For example one could see a morion helmet in use anywhere from the russian steppes to california to the Philippines. Both fire (guns) and swords (swords) continued to be used. What do you find incongruous? Why so serious?

In case you missed this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_Fire_and_Sword
Take Les Misérables and stick it in Japan for instance. Just sounds weird, that's all

If Sich are interested I have a few ideas for future games: how about "Oliver Twist 2: The Battle for Stalingrad" ?


Seriously, what do pirates in the caribbean have to do with fire & sword ?

I just discovered that food isn't consumed, starting a new game doesn't fix it.

Could anyone make me a banner with this on it ?


Thanks

doesn't seem to work, isn't there just a txt file I could replace by the original ?

Hey, I like the changes except one thing, starting with a party size of 1000, I find that it takes the fun away, is there a way to revert to the native system whilst keeping the other changes ?

I know it's some serious digging up I'm doing here  but I was looking for some music to replace the original which is really starting to get on my nerves, so I found this topic and was wondering if anyone still had the files and could reupload them somwhere/ or had something similar to point me to

Yep thanks, works perfectly now 

I did start a new game but there's nothing, I also tried to create a module file including the edited .txt but that didn't help much either

Yup, the XVII century was long, about 100 years
I just found funny that you didn't quote the part that didn't fit your argumentation, plus random passages from internet aren't really an exact source (check one wikipedia page in 2 or 3 languages: you quite often get major differences)

Polish Commonwealth is a direct translation from Rzeczpospolita Polska.

And i'd still maintain that saying that it should be renamed to a name seldom used at the time, for historical credibility is kind of paradoxical.
In my opinion it wouldn't be a bad idea for education/information purposes if it would fit, and that commonwealth or polish commonwealth are logical alternatives.

[quote author=Osviux]Some guy also wrote that some foreigners called it just Poland, well some foreigners called it Lithuania, but i want to give an example. If foreigners called France Germany, and Germany France you would also be that stupid to call them soo?
[...]I think this attitude is a sign of a lack of education. So because some stupid peasants called the Commonwealth Poland you dont have to be like them.
[/quote]

No it's more like calling The Netherlands Holland. In the case of the commonwealth it was just shorter and easier thus widely used.

Plus since you're quoting wikipedia, you forgot this part: "In the 17th century and later it became known as the Most Serene Republic of Poland (Polish: Najjaśniejsza Rzeczpospolita Polska, Latin: Serenissima Res Publica Poloniae)" 

A good thing that Osviux wants to send a nice letter to those "stupid racists" about a "***** country taking all the glory" 

(Just to point out that even tough he isn't entirely wrong, his way of presenting things ["I want, I want, I want,"] is extremely irritating)
And I do find that Polish Commonwealth is a logical alternative.

Does anyone play this on-line ? It's a fine mod but it gets a bit boring playing against totaly and utterly mindless bots

The only reason it was called the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth is because they were SUBJUGATED by the Russians along with the poles.
