@thermocline: @Leonion stated that most tweaks are not compatible with 3.8 currently, so adding them individually is not advised in general. And according to the 3.8 changelog, neither tweak is in (#36 and #15 respectively). Currently these are the ones that made it in: (1, 3.1, 3.2, 4, 5, 11, 20, 25, 26, 29, 30, 32, 33, 35, 38, 40, 42, 43, 44). Tweak #1: 'smarter militia patrols' was not added by mistake (luckily it is compatible with 3.8 as is) and tweak #28 (fief exchange, was cancelled due to bugs) will be readded in the next release as far as I know.thermocline said:Does anyone know if the tweak that lets a militia patrol drop off prisoners at a nearby fief works or not in 3.8? How about the tweak that lets a castle steward send units to another fief?
A while ago, I suggested #15 and #36 to add among some other tweaks, but I didn't take into account the problems with these two back then:
1) The problem with militia patrols dropping off prisoners into the closest walled fief is that the player can abuse it to get free prisoners to sell for hefty sums. And the developers don't want to make PoP any easier with some free money.
2) If you would like to send troops to a walled fief with tweak #15, then you mustn't send 0 soldiers or talk to the party in question by mistake. Otherwise you'll get quite annoying error messages. And the fixing is not the most comfortable upon each misclick:
Well, you are not the first one who misclicked that dialogue option, sent 0 troops, attacked the party and ended up getting error messages.
To fix this, do the following:
1) In simple_triggers, find the trigger that starts with 1.000000 20.
2) Increase 20 by 1.
3) Insert 2133 2 144115188075857214 0 right after 21 (followed by a gap).
4) Start the game.
5) Wait till the "send troops" dialogue option is working again and error messages have stopped popping up.
6) Close the game.
7) Reverse the changes that you did to the trigger.
8 ) Keep playing as usual.
So I guess these are the reasons why they were not added officially...
