[BTS] The History of Three Kingdoms

[stmartin]

A New Version --- Release 2.2 is out, now 3.19 compatible

 

[The_J]

Uh, that was fast .

 

[Agent327]

Indeed.

 

[batigoallover]

cheers! and thank you!

 

[BakouKai]

The problem is the language.
If the text doesn't show up, it means, there is no text in your language.
Change the civ-language to english, this will solve the problem.

Or try a french translation .

I'm a bit sceptical but I'll try this way. Many thanks by the way

Do you have an idea why I can't launch htk scenarii ? ("you cannot connect to this game because there are no slot left")

Hi BakouKai,

Does this problem still exist? Please give me some more information as to game version, language, which scenario and what option you choose (play scenario or custom scenario, single player or multiplayer).

 

[Kenjister]

Thanks! I knew you guys wouldn't let this mod die... it's far too good.

 

[Dknight99]

Yay Stmartn is back!
Now if only the advisors can be in the game then I'll be happy as a button

 

[mrsako]

Woo! This is one of my most favorite mods, hands down. Thanks for updating it to 3.19.

Here's a little patch for Release 2.2: Patch A. Warning: it will BREAK save game!

1. AI: hero AI is improved 'dramatically', hopefully in the right direction!

2. Tweak: heros who currently serves his historical civ will be less likely to surrender

3. Tweak: when capturing the last city of a civilization and capturing enemy heroes at the same time, if our civilization is responsible for the captured heroes' death in history, then the captured heroes will die instead of surrender.

4. Tweak：If any member of a legion has carried out any kind of action, then during the same turn, that legion will not be able to perform form legion, regroup legion, join legion, dismiss legion or quit legion action.

5. Fix: in form legion screen, units' strength and movement will update along with player's input.

Hey stmartin, just wondering if the old music addon still work on the new version or if I need to update it for this version?

 

[BakouKai]

Hi BakouKai,

Does this problem still exist? Please give me some more information as to game version, language, which scenario and what option you choose (play scenario or custom scenario, single player or multiplayer).

Hi StMartin,

Thanks for asking and sorry for the delay. Here are some information I could harvest from the "about menu":
- Civ version : 319
- Save(backup?) version: 302
- Compilation version : 3.1.9.0 (128100)
- build : finale release

My game is running french. But i often use other mods without translation : english text are displayed, I have never faced this inconvenient:
I tried "play solo", then "play a scenario". I could try HoTK 51 to 81, 196 to 200 AD (with cities) I always face the same trouble : Cannot join this game because "choosen game is already full".

The screenshots i took were made in a basic "play>pangea>defaults" settings.

I hope those information could help you to fix it.

The thing is, as soon as I switch my language to english, through the options, missing texts seems to be displayed and scenarios seems to be playable ^^

So my initial problem is quite minor as i'm finally able to test your mod (And i've to confess i'm very enthousiastic to try it ^^')

Be back soon for my feedback.

I think the music addon pack will work for the new version. Haven't tested it though.

There's no French text for this mod right now, because we removed all French to Italian language tag, so if you want to display English, the only way it to choose English as the language. Looking forward to your feedback!

The graphics file seems unavailable on filefront. Any alternate link?

 

[darkedone02]

both music and graphics are unavailable.

 

[rgroll]

I haven't played civ 4 for a while, and with the new official patch I came across the old mod and see you patched it. This was one of the mods that I played the most along with Rhye's. I never liked the WW ii scenarios much and your mod was one of the most enjoyable.

Good to be able to play it again.

Thanks.

Finally it's here, The Official Music Pack!

V1.0 features 56 soundtracks, 24 of them are background music, 32 of them are diplomacy music for leaders.

Source:
KOEI, from it's RoTK series
Chinese Folk Music
横山光辉, from his music for the Japanese animation about Three Kingdoms

Because our hosting site has a size limit for a single file, we split it into 2 part:
Part I, Part II

Instruction:
1. unzip Part I, copy the 'Assets' folder into your 'Beyond the Sword\Mods\The History of Three Kingdoms' folder.
2. when asked about whether to overwrite folders with same name, choose 'Yes'.
3. do the same with Part II.

Thanks. I'm currently playing a Japan mod but i'm sure to return to yours to give it a try with this musicpack, keep up the great work!
