SP Dark Ages The Sword And The Axe

[Sumtingwong]

I don't know how they form in Viking Conquest, I haven't played it. 

Picture this, you tell your infantry to hold an area, and they stop short of the flag marker by 10 paces and form up left a bit of the position itself. Now also understand that in native and other mods that when you make them stack on you (follow me) you become the center piece, I don't remember if they fixed it or not, but they formed a long line on your side...leaving you as some random on the very end.

The formations work perfectly but those couple things are what -REALLY- killed the immersion of the mod for me.

I only tell you these things because I ****ing love how your mod is going, and want it to be the best it can be. Did we go over freelancer at all?

 

[Antonis]

Aha, I get it. Don't worry, I won't do such a thing. About Freelancer, personally, I don't think I would like to add it to the mod. But I may make a separate download ultimately, for people that want to it.

Just saying, I would love to fight under Ragnar....but not as a noble or vassal. Helvetti in VC I fight for Bjorn all the time, Our "relation" is maxed.

Spoiler: off topic vc stuff

Sumtingwong, in VC did you ever notice the F2 menu button 'memorise division placement'? Or read the game-concepts section called Division Placement? Worth a look.

I did, but it didn't change anything, for some reason even after using it they still did the default at the start of battle. I eventually just made them use shieldwall at the start of every fight if possible...otherwise "hey guys just uh..rush those swords over there and have fun."

 

[Warlog]

What happens with this version of mod, there are indications that will be realized soon?

 

[Antonis]

Yeah. The version is finished, only the dialog remained. Our scripter has send me one out of 3 files and since, she didn't contact me again. So, I am doing the other two by myself. But it's going well. 

 

[Warlog]

Ok thank you, I'm impatient to try it

 

[dykjozo]

I think this describes my excitement about upcoming release of next version

Spoiler

 

[Antonis]

Fortunately, I have the companion and pretender lines stored, which take the most, so I will save up some time, but patience. 

 

[Warlog]

This mod dead or not?

 

[Antonis]

Nope, it is finished. But I still have it in testing, as there are a couple of things I need to fix. 

 

[Redleg]

Excellent news!  I am looking forward to playing the forthcoming version.

 

[Antonis]

Thank you!

Just checking in....You're the man dude! 

 

[Antonis]

Eh, the mod is ready, I will upload it during the weekend. There were some small fixes(which were done), some more testing plus I finished my other mod, Fires of War and worked on 1200( ) this is why I delayed so much, mainly. 

 

[Antonis]

Alright, as promised, I uploaded the new version. See download link in first post. In time, I will upload more sites to download from and a ModDB link, when I manage to do that, because my Internet is crap. 

VERSION 3.0 CHANGELOG ​

- Diplomacy
- Formations
- Beer Drinking
- Hunting
- Foraging skill(more skills to come)
- Lav's companion Overseer
- Ability to sell prisoners to Manhunters

And many more!

Sorry for the delay, but I was involved in a lot of projects, not counting real life stuff. 

 

[Redleg]

I just noticed you had posted on ModDB.  Am downloading now.  I am glad you were able to add Diplomacy and formations.  Did you have to start from scratch or were you able to recover your module?

 

[Antonis]

Well, we started with a clean Module System, since I lost my old one. 
And most of the new stuff was added by Theoren, not me, to be honest. I did the 'make-up', the map, the troops and items, the easy stuff. And he did a mighty fine job. 

 

[WizardOfAtlantis]

All right!  Thanks for the new version!!
