Strategic Advisor function in the beta is not fully implemented. We know it does not work. It shows troop trees (not all). So don't post bugs related to him.

You can sellect Antarian Knights&Paladins and Villianese Knights in Jester's Skirmish but this troops are obsolete and not used in V4.5

If instead of dialogue you see "str somethingsomething" (this str is the most important here to indentifying the bug) then it's peobably because you use non english MnB version. I also have this bug but rest of the team doesn't.

OK, so probably the first one. Talking with strategic advisor on the topic of swadian melee infantry causes the game to freeze. Well not exactly freeze, but I can't move forward in the dialog (press left mouse button to continue keeps hanging) and I can' go back too. Will check if this happens with other ones too.
EDIT: ranged has just NO TEXT! massage, melee cavalry the same bug as melee infantry. I will stop testing it for now

We got dialogues for strategic advisor today. To keep the release date we didn't implement them. They will be implemented in full version. For now strategic advisor shows troop trees but does not talk about particular troops.

Except for Conquistadors where opening troop tree causes "get_object failed for: sa_merc_conquistadors_troop_tree" error massage

EDIT: and Vaeghirs, Marina, Zerrikanian sultanate and Slavers. Sorry, next time I will check everything before posting

Wait, isn't the full version of 4.5 the one you just released?

No, it's called beta Few minor things might be missing like this Advisor dialogues and new companions. In final we might add few more things...

Not sure what but my game just crashed a few seconds ago. Playing as the Villianese (which could use a major makeover) and was about 5 minutes into a battle against 22 looters. Dunno what caused it but might as well report it anyway.

 

[telesien]

Talking to Katrin or Marnid (the only companions right now) after fight causes whole string of error massages (something with wrong party and AI scripts) to appear. Once it even caused run-time error and CTD.

 

[TheRighteousMan]

crash and RGL error when asking Strategy adviser about Vaegir troop tree.  Also can confirm that bug telesien mentioned...

 

[AdaChanDesu]

BUG ALERT! When i came to the Serpent Host HQ, i took a quest from the leader, and when i talked to one of his bodyguards(?) they said to me something like "str sod random mt17 7"
There's also some missing letters in game, like in the new skill description and in the Quests->Factions when checking any of the merc guilds the text says "XXX is the leader of the mercnary of XXX" or something similiar, the thing is this "mercnary"

Confirmed here, also playing as Villianese while fighting looters and forest bandits.  Sometimes it throws up a runtime error, other times ctd's, and last one just locked up and needed task manager to close it.  Also, this script error while moving about the map:

SCRIPT ERROR ON OPCODE 1641: Invalid Party ID: 1065353216; LINE NO: 51:
At script change_party_template.
At script change_party_template.

First post around here and really just wanted to say thanks for the mod, great job everyone

 

[AdaChanDesu]

Also, when winning a battle it says "Your army have crushing advantage" whereas it should be "Your army has crushing advantage"

Yeah, under the administration description it says "ech level" instead of each.

Another RGL error occurs when asking the advisor about one of the merc troop trees.  He needs a patch all to himself.  Half the options cause showstopper bugs.

 

[vonmistont]

Thanks for reports.
As to Strategic Advisor we know it doesn't work because it isn't fully implemented yet. It will be in final version.

This errors related to script change party template are more worrying though, we'll take a look at this.

I just found huge bug though... When ivasion comes menu appears (added in the last moment as I see...) but it can not be closed. Hopefully easy save game compatibile fix will solve that.

 

[telesien]

I cannot 100% confirm it, but twice I got run-time error when I was saving game. Don't know if the saving process itself caused it

 

[Kalik]
