SP Oriental Japan VS Mongolia Alpha 0.9 (For M&B 0.751)

[jeffclaw]

Thats the first thing i though when playing this mod "The Last Samurai", my favourite movie, a very fun mod so far !

 

[lancer63]

think I found another bug. Game freezes on first window when I encounter a pirate crew, the ones you don't get paid for killing. Has happened twice already but it's only with those units and wasn't so at the beginning.

 

[jeffclaw]

OK i've played a bit more now and i've come accross a few bugs and such

- The russian hero approaches my party even when I am russian but he does not attack me, not sure if it is similar for other heros

- When playing for the japanese i get asked to capture japanese troops as a mission, but the count will not accept the japanese troops that he requested, probably just a typo

- Not really a bug, russian taverns seem to stock up on japanese peasants and not russian pesants, similar for japanese taverns, they stock up on russian peasants and not japanese, have not checked the mongoloians yet

I've not had a crash as of yet involving pirates, I'll look into it, I might have an idea of what it is though.

When you say "You are Russian", do you mean by Nationality or Alignment? The starting nationality has no bearing on the game, only skills. If you've joined the Russian army he shouldn't approach you though... I'll look at that also.

I've seen the troop mission problem in alot of mods, I think there's something that needs changing in the conversation file, I'll take a look at that too.

And, the last bit, yeah, there's a script somewhere I need to change which I should be able to find without too much trouble

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I've had a couple of crashes when attacking pirates as well.

I am of russian nationality and I am also in the russian army, when approached he says what any other allied leader says sometihng along the lines of "the war will be over soon brother"

 

[HHUK]

Hmm, well that seems right, he's not supposed to attack you if you're on the same faction so aslong as he isn't it seems to be working fine. The other allied leaders will attack you though. Just don't get hit by any of their weapons, they hurt.

 

[jeffclaw]

yeah lol I was curious about the four horsemen, they taught me why not to travel alone.

 

[calandale]

There are four horsemen in this mod?

 

[lancer63]

I've seen more than four. I'm sure of it. 

 

[calandale]

PHhhhht! It sounds like something from storymod to me.

 

[HHUK]

Haha, it was supposed to be a rare easter egg, the triggers are disabled aren't they? They only spawn if the variable is set to 0 but the variable is set to 1 initially.

Have you been messing or did I forget?

 

[jeffclaw]

You might have forgot lol, I havent changed anything, there was some other easter egg type hero going around I cant remember the name though, or I might just be confused. I saw them ride past once so I left my army behind so that I could catch up with them .... big mistake

 

[HHUK]

Hmm, next time I'll either fix them and make them really rare or delete the spawn triggers all together.

Has anybody fought a Hero party yet? Any thoughts on the difficulty of them?

 

[jeffclaw]

I fought a hero party and didnt win but it was a bad idea anyway considering it was me, 6 mercenarys and a few russian soldiers, haven't fought any since. Do the japanese cavalry wear the same cuirass as the russian soldiers? because I found that when encontering some japanese partys the highest ranking soldier is wearing a russian style cuirass.

 

[HHUK]

I think they're slightly different, the Japanese use the default scale armour model, the Russians use the updated one made by someone on these forums. They look slightly different, the Russian has a more modern feel to it.

I couldn't think of any other suitable armour for Japanese cavalry besides scale/l. cuirass.

 

[Antique Futon]

This is a really entertaining mod. One question: why six shots for the pistol? This seems rediculously unballanced, as it makes the pistol the best ranged weapon by far. I'd say it would still be pretty good with just one shot per reload, like in waterloo or pirates. I gotta say though, I like the fantasy aspect of it, and I think you should add teppo ashigaru (peasants with guns) to the Japanese side. Good job.

 

[Ben Hussey]

Have you created new towns or is this all with the standard 14 or whatever cities?

 

[calandale]

So, what's the connection with the Heros of Humanity Mod? Seeing as they are using the same tapestry background.

 

[HHUK]

@Antique Futon: I always liked 6 shooter pistols and the AI sucks at aiming them anyway. Plus, the Russians are supposed to be modern and more powerful but if you're smart enough they're easy to dispense of. I'll change the guns pack to 1 shot with the exception of the Russian Hero.

@Eldormann: Standard 14 cities, I've not changed much of the map, just moved a few things (e.g. one of the castles), put a new spawn point in, etc.

@calandale: Connection? There is none, my mod uses the default background unless you downloaded the texture pack I recommended in the first post, I think that changes the background to one with a knight on.
