No, indeed it doesn't.

But would that really stop you?

 

[Xen]

well, no, not under most circumstances at least

 

[tossi]

I can´t play this scen, since I miss a Armenian unit .

 

[Pangur Bán]

What do you mean, tossi?

A few suggestions for possible graphics, in case you haven't included them (In case you have I'll be looking pretty stupid now ).

Aremnian- need to do more research, Armenia has never interested me militarilly, and as such i do not realyl know just what there troops, other then the heavy cavalry, would have looked like

Persian Units
Persian Medium/Light "Cataphract"- http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56408

Have you seen Kryten's Eastern Cataphract?

Possible Persian, maybe Armenian Cataphract.

Horseman- I'll find somthin, though i suppose the chinses cav would be a good unit to use for it

I know Kryten was making a very Persian looking Horse Archer, but how close he is to finishing it, I have no idea.

That's the best I could do, I think I'll try and play this now (or soon)

Yeah...the Armenian is just a swordsman...designed to represent the Armenian infantry-swordsmen who fought for Heraclius. There is thus nothing but a renamed INI file directing towards the swordsman in the Vanilla folder.

This would be an easily solved problem. The game can't find that file in the Vanilla swordsman folder. I'd go looking for a typo or something in the INI, but the thing is, it's finding it OK in my computer...I just retested it! It works fine for me....what can I say?

This is pretty annoying... I put alot of work into fiddling with the text files, the research, the gameplay, etc - that a stupid thing like this should...: Anyway - you're using version 2, right? The scenario was made with an unpatched version of Conquests...I thought this would make it all easier...maybe it hasn't. You haven't deleted the Vanilla swordsman, have you . I doubt you have...don't know what's wrong then...!

If you still can't get it to work, then I uploaded the full Swordsman unit, renamed Armenian...install it into your conquests scenario directory...and you should definitely have that problem fixed.


Armenian Swordsman


I sure hope this ain't a general problem....

Thanks. The Armenian has to be infantry though...and funnily enough, the Swordsman looks like them

I used the Horse Archer by Kryten, so I think he has finished

It'd be great to have you testing this thing...really great.

Can you at least try to play it, to see if you get that crash with the Armenian that that guy is having. I'm not having it, and I'm a wee bittie confused.

 

[tossi]

Works now!!!

Question: Is it normal that i can´t build any military units besides trebuchets!?

 

[Pangur Bán]

yep...it is.

One of the main points of the scenario...is your dependence on wonders/buildings to produce military force. This is designed to simulate the reality, where the loss/destruction of important cities will cost you dearly, and where war exhaustion is actually possible.


BTW, does it work because you installed that swordsman, or did you just try it again?

This is a different one that looks like an Immortal on Horseback shooting a bow. I think I saw a preview in the Peloponnesian War original thread, but I don't think I'll find it in 40 pages of looking

Well, this Horse Archer is the one I'm using!

 

[tossi]

It works because i dled the swordmen

I figured that. That's the only Horse Archer (aside from the Mounted Warrior and Keshik) that I know has been completed.

 

[Louis XXIV]

Here it is.

Middle of the page. An unfinished Persian Archer by Kryten. If it ever gets finished, it might be useful

 

[Pangur Bán]

Yeah...he must have finished it then, 'coz I'm pretty sure that's the one I'm using

 

[silver 2039]

It works for me now but there is a bug in the civlopedia. I'll post a screenshot.

That's good to hear. I must confess though, that I don't understand the problem. It works fine for me

Anyhoo, I'm not particuarly bothered by the Civilopedia. It doesn't crash the game after all. I think I tried to add some info on the buildings, but that was it. But anyways, post the screenshot and I'll make a note.
