My questions on SP

[tashim72]

Q1: What are the parameters of Rhodok Veteran Spearman's green-tissue mail? Swadia troops?
Q2: Will Sarranid Infantry finally acquire at least 2 Power Strike points?
Q3: Why Khergit Elite Armour and Vaegir Elite Armour are "switched"? Plans on making same armours for other 3 factions?
Q4: Any new helmets to be added (+46 / Vaegir War Mask alternative)? Any new weapons (1.8 one-handed swords)?
Q5: Anytime banner changing option? My post at Tech Support section...

Regards,
Tashim

Bump.

Can someone help me out here?

Q1 : I don't know, check it yourself in the item_kinds or by using cheats/edit mode.
Q2 : Probably not, but you can change it yourself with the troop editor.
Q3 : The devs switched them because they thought that as the former kerghit armor has lion-shaped pauldrons and the lion is the symbol of Vaegirs, it should be Vaegir. I disagree with this however, the color scheme feels very very wrong now.
Q4 : Probably not. The devs made clear they wanted to keep save compatibility at all costs (because of steam users), so they won't add new items to native. They might rework on some to fix/improve models and textures though.
Q5 : dunno, it's very possible to mod it though, so you might be able to do it by messing with the module system, but it might not be worth the trouble.

Thx... finally someone replied.

Not too optimistic news though...

In general, you'll get faster and more comprehensive help about Single Player questions in the Single Player board--the Warlord's Den.

Q5: Anytime banner changing option? My post at Tech Support section...

The option to change your banner is included in the cheat menu. Enable cheats on the config page before starting the game. In game press CTRL and ~ (or `) and then type "cheatmenu" in the box that pops up. Hit Camp, go to the Cheat Menu in camp and you'll find a change your banner option. Then hit CTRL and ~ again, type "nocheatmenu" or else you'll get debugging messages as you play.

Just download the Troop and Item Editor and change the stuff you don't like yourself. You should find them easily by using the search function.

Edit - I feel like being nice today, so here:
Item editor: (will work with 1.0)

Caba`drin, King of Scotland,

Thank you for your replies. I'm happy with your attention...

What does Steam have to do with save compatability?

 

[Big_man]

it is because steam is a load of crap (imo) i don't see why they made it so that if you buy the disk you have to install steam.

 

[looy]

That doesn't answer my question at all.

 

[yugop]

Because steam automatically updates all games. there's an option to disable it, but it's kinda hard to find. TW can't expect everyone to see this, and therefore has to make every patch save compatible. I can't imagine how many people wouldn't even think about disabling the autoupdate. Every patch, we get people posting "Hey steam updated the game but all servers are for the old version, what do ?". This would be worse for people who don't play multiplayer at all and therefore, are less likely to come on the forum.

Btw, I'm not a steam basher

Btw, I'm not a steam basher

i am i hate it with a passion. it was a huge pain in the ass and i grew fed up with the updateing so it got the version from the tw site

 

[tashim72]

I'm not sure how the item and troop editors work... so, have someone found out what are the parameters of these green/red tunic mails?

Cheatmenu is interesting too, but later.

Tashim

P.S. I would buy -original- Vaegir Elite Armour (green one), but I'm not sure to do this, because if it will switch back - I will have something else.

 

[tashim72]

Ok, I found it...

So it's called "Arena Armour Red" and "Arena Armour Green"; +29 on body, +13 on legs, weight 16.0.

Rhodok Veteran Spearmen and Sharpshooters have +35 defence on head (Kettle Hat), +29 defence on body and +34 defence on legs (forgot the name of boots).   Ok... but I actually thought that this mail has around / a bit less than 40 (e.g. +37).

...or Red and Green has difference?
