Bug report:

Archers are critically bugged in your mod. It seems after restarting this siege 7 times trying to see what's going on: It's as if once an enemy approach of about 10-30 meters from the archers, almost all archers switch to melee or refuse to use their bows. Cross bows are for the most part fine, they shoot like normally, but archers are broken.

Fairly similar thing happening in field battles, but since sieges are inherently more close quarter the effect is drastically more noticeable.

Save game of 1.1 beta just before my first siege defense: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6baFjETxO8_MF9BRy0wWmJpdkU/view?usp=sharing

Pictures ingame. Notice: Observe the "combat text": archers use of melee weapon, even tough I give archers command to fire at will. A few archers who are very far from combat some times use their bow, other times they don't.

Other mods, you'll see archers consistently fire, pressing up against each other on the battlement to get their arrows out, but here they are completely docile and do nothing. I think it has to do with proximity, but I can't say for sure.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Swapped out all my master archers for crossbowmen of similar rank and number of men. http://imgur.com/a/Kftnx Complete night and day difference.

Mod looks great, can't wait for the full release! Any tips/tricks to make the first few months of this game easier? Start is absolutely brutal (good brutal though) Again, thanks for the good mod and keep up the good work!

Tournaments give 20 000 if you win it all with full bets. That's pretty massive. 

You can exploit the game by going to the neutral island. The legendary sword trader sell items for very cheap, and buys item for full price. You can basically trade, and re-enter the shop and trade the same items. Trade, exit, reenter trade. Rinse repeat and you got a whole armory of master swords.

Don't spec into Trade in this patch, because if you buy the "chest of gems" for 15 000, you'll only sell it for about 500 or so, so I would not put any point in that. The only exception is going to the salt mine. Buy for ~150 and sell it at a town for ~250 which is pretty nice.



Hope that helps.

First of all, love the mod. The amount of detail and dedication put in is amazing and awe inspiring. I just have a few things that bother me in regards to sieges and castles. This particularly hit me when I was assaulting Lannisport.  I have noticed some castles and towns have the ladders go up to the wall and then you have to fall a short way to the battlements to fight the defenders. The battlements at Lannisport are so small that the defenders simply piled at the place where the ladder was and when my men tried to gain a foothold they could not land on solid ground so they just perpetually "floated" on the defefending garrisons heads. This allowed the defenders to strike my men and kill them whilst my men could not attack back causing a massacre of floating soldiers. Another thing is I have noticed many invisible walls on battlements in castles when there is not even a stick fence there to prevent me from dropping down and attacking the defenders from the rear. I also ran into this a Lannisport.  It is a little immersion breaking. While I was still able to conquer it, I had to resort to exhausting gamey tqctics to make it to work. I love the mod but just think these little quirks would make it better and more user friendly.  Thanks and keep up the good work!

A couple of tips when you're reporting bugs:

If you're going to report bugs, I highly suggest that you have to assume the person fixing the problem do no know anything about what you are talking about. They do not sit with the experience you have, and to find it may take more time than it's worth. Some times people report bugs, that actually turn out to be glitch ( one time occurrence, or low probability of reoccurring). If you really want fix the problems, then you have be very specific, split each problem into individual reports, create steps in order for the developer to reproduce the bug, any supplementary pictures with graphics pointing to the problem helps a lot.

One tip is to read around this post as it helps you see the perspective of someone who does this professionally: http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/forum/topic/9678638015

Hi. I just came after Reformist made a Special Feature video on your mod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFfbefi2ykU I have to ask, did he pronounce all the names correctly? I would really like to not get it wrong the first time I play your mod.

Thank you very much for all who worked on the mod.

Hello

I just wanted to bring up the issue of throwing weapons in this mod.

Currently, they are extremely useless and cost inefficient considering their low ammo capacity. However, such a low ammo capacity is certainly more realistic as it would not make sense for someone to carry around more than ten javelins. When compared to bows and arrows and the crossbows available in this mod, the throwing weapons are far outclassed.

What I want to suggest is perhaps a slight buff to throwing weapons. Javelins and throwing spears were highly effective against enemy shields because embedding themselves in the shield would weigh the shield down and ruin the balance of its wielded. If throwing weapons in the mod could provide bonus damage against shields as a way of reflecting this, I believe it would make them a viable weapon choice.

Hope you consider this if not I always have Myr crossbows to console me

cheers

You're not alone. Earlier this year I wrote more or less the exact same post in this thread. Unfortunately, I've not seen anything specific about this in the change log.

Is there a way to inscrease the revenue from castles and towns ?

Because currently i'm losing money when i own a castle and for me it doesn't really make sense...
So maybe i'm doing something wrong ?
Or can i just modify a file and increase the revenue ?

thanks

Well, I and some others have reported on it before and I think it's getting fixed/reworked in next patch.

In theory you're suppose to increase prosperity of your holdings by keeping your fiefs and trade unharmed, build improvements, change culture policy, and from that your suppose to get more cash. It's  Native economy mixed with Floris ( I think that is the base mod used, it's all in the ACOK wiki ). In practice I didn't see much improvement. I ended up giving away 90% of my holdings to Berengar. He became a super vassal with 1000 man army following me around. As ruler I get a cut of his earnings which allowed me to have a stable economy to conquer Westeros. It also didn't harm that I owned business in every town and investments into the Iron Bank.

@Cozur

A small bug reported inregards to stuck lords in Stormlands. http://imgur.com/1CVopqg I'm not sure if this is reported before.

I often decrease lord's ability to resupply by lowering the Campaign A.I.

Just checked the change log. Seems as if Cozur finally rotated the meat seeing I got rather worried it would get burnt severely on one side.

changelog:

Rotated the meat.

I got a small question, how do I recruit Erellon Lancers from Ergellon? I need 10 relations, but all the buildings are already constructed by the A.I. so I can't get relations that way.

Doing quests for the attached village will grant a relation gain for the village and castle.

Ok, thanks for the quick answer.

Hello,

A quick question on troop controls, I am fairly sure this feature is specific to VC (and some mods I've played) but it could be a native feature, I apologise if that's the case.

Is there a way to prevent the targeting of enemy divisions when holding F1 to make your troops hold a position? It is annoying when I try to take cover inside of a small walled area such as a village or my Refuge and instead of holding at the place I want them, my troops attack the enemy because they are close by.

"x, hold position!"
"...and attack enemy x division!"

On the other hand this is very useful for having your sieldwall engage the enemy shield wall in the open field so I'd rather not disable it completely.

Cheers.

F2 F1 tells your guys to walk towards the enemy position. They won't break their formation.

Athletic skill - This skill really shines at 8 + and makes you really fast in light gear. Spears and swords are the best choice imo especially the balanced version since they focus on speed.

Does that equate to increased Weapon speed bonus? ( similar to the bonus you get when charging with a pony )

I wish there was a sprint button in VC, like the one Silverstag have. With the right abilities you can do pretty powerful charges on foot, resulting in empowered attacks+weapon speed bonus.

I no longer get this: http://i.imgur.com/u84KcT2.jpg But instead get this: http://i.imgur.com/xM384b7.jpg It makes quite a difference, so thanks. I can now actually enjoy my games and not be paranoid of projectiles. I'm going to share the link to Reformist as he got quite bewildered by this mechanic.

For those who have not seen what is to come.
