Rubik, I sincerely admire your work. You are very imaginative in your ideas and use truly elegant code to implement them. You have my respect.
I have two suggestions for you to consider:
*I think that after you changed (doubled) the amount of units and the price that trade items have in the last update, the whole enterprise-in-town feature got messed up, since the algorithm there just counts the number of items, regardless of the unit number. If you test it quickly you might see that it is hard to find some profitable enterprise, most of them being negative profit. Maybe you want to check that out.
*Maybe you want to consider finding a willing volunteer to collaborate with the redaction of the English in-game texts for you.
All in all, your work is great.

Hi. Im using Native mod compilation, which has this mod integrated, but one thing that bothers me, i set up reinforcement waves to the max value, 100, but when i started besieging a town(garrison: 335 + lord party 95 = total: 430) i ended up at the walls with 277 enemy casualties, in the street with 35 and 5 inside, which doesn't add up to 430. In standard battle it seems it works. So, how could i make it work or change mission_templates or what? I tried TweakMB, but all reinforcement waves/troop threshold options are disabled. And yes, i have a crappy pc at the time and can't really have 200+ battlesize
. Thank anyone, who will try to help.
Hi there, sad man.
I think you are confused about a few concepts, and I will bother to clarify them to you, just because.
First, those enemies that you dont get to fight and kill in a siege (aka 430 - (277+35+5)), are taken as prisioners. So maybe you dont need to feel so sad; they are defeated after all.
Second, the reinforcement waves that you can choose in the options of this mod modifies only the number of respawns each side gets in a given battle - standard field battle, that's it. For this reason, the number of waves you set there wont have any effect whatsoever on sieges, since THAT number of waves is defined in a different part in the source code (If I remember right, sieges with ladders is sth like 6 waves, and sieges with towers 9 or so) and as far as I can see, rubik hasn't connected the mod options to those reinforcements yet. All battle types have different settings (field batlle, ladder siege, tower siege, bandit ambush in cities, etc) and they are defined in mission_templates.
Third, you are on the right track. In mission_templates you could (manually) tweak the number of troops spawning in both the street and castle mini-battles. Personally, I always like to add a few troops in both battles because I find them epic and sadly too short. I cant bother to look up in which line it is defined, but if you looked at the MageLord tweak posts, you could easily find out, and just as easily, figure out how to do those changes also in warband. -- If you wanted to have more reinforcement waves in sieges, also in the MageLord's post you can find instructions about how to do it.
Fourth, as a side note, even if you had a powerful computer, I wouldnt recommend you to play those massive sieges you are talking about with a too big battle size, since that kind of battle tends to create the known "bottle neck" effect and become EXTREMELY boring, with about hundred people shouting from the wall, hundred shouting down the ladder, and merely about 5 or 6 doing the actual fighting where both ladder and wall meet. The most fun sieges are actually with many reinforcement waves, very small battle size (around 30), and plenty of troops spawning on both the streets and castle.
