RFC Europe: Small bugs/fixes

[jessiecat]

Projects do nto belong to any individual city, but are part of the entire nation. You cannot lose a colony if someone captures your city, you may not rush a Colony with Great Engineer and you can build colonies in non Coastal cities. Colonies do not belong to any individual city and hence they can only be seen in the info scree of the nation.

Nuff said. I guess I never thought of that either. Thanks again.

Who are you and do you get a list of the items (i.e. +1 for Peace have brought out people together ... )

I was France, no contact with the Arabians until I got on Crusade, then met Arabia for the first time (at war) but still have the +7.

2nd time I was Kiev, initially +7 but also some - due to different religion. Then they got pleased because Burgundy declared war on them and I was at war with Burgundy forever, to the point where Saladin was willing to trade me incense for my cathedrals and salt for my cows and bread.

If this is not a bug, it's a good thing.

Austrian Unit Kurassier, it's Kürassier, if necessary Kuerassier. And it's just a translation of Cuirassier.

If you can't write ü, ö, ä, ß it's (today, there was no ascii 7 in the middle ages) ue, oe, ae, ss.

Yes. It could replace the Lancer. Cheap and available from the start.

Lancers come too early for Austria, should be Heavy Lancer or even Knight.

Then it shoud be the Heavy Lancer.

Just read there were polish Ulan regiments earlier. Thought the name was from the polish "volunteers" in the austrian army but it's from the mongols / tartars that settled in Litauen (later east Poland). Maybe not the best idea than? But at least Austria first used them with success.

Ulans are modern (early 18th century - world war 2) light cavalry, a pistolier with a lance comes close, or a modern keshik.

If Poland was not a nation of its own, then Polish unit would be fine as UU of any appropriate nation (Hungary, Austria and so on), similar to the Nubian Cavalry of Carthage. The problem is, if Ulans were polish, then how eexctly would it work to send them to conquer Poland? We might have to think of something else.

 

[Myri]

I think all Ulans of the 18th century were polish, Napoleon used polish Ulans, too. Later all modern armies had Ulans not from Poland.

Gebirgsjäger (mounteneers?, i don't know) comes to mind. Leopold I. 1315 lost the battle of Morgarten vs swiss troops who knowed how to fight in the mountains. No idea if he learned anything from that but in modern times Austrian Gebirgsjäger were a special force. Could be a maceman with guerilla promotions, not bad vs Venice, Germany and Poland.

Jessiecat, you mentioned Pirates from Morocco and Algeria. Can you give me dates on when they should spawn (i.e. Morocco from 1000AD to 1400AD, except make it historically accurate)

 

[AnotherPacifist]

From Barbary pirates in wikipedia:
Toward the end of the 9th century, Muslim pirate havens were established along the coast of southern France and northern Italy.[6] In 846 Muslim raiders sacked Rome and damaged the Vatican. In 911, the bishop of Narbonne was unable to return to France from Rome because the Muslims controlled all the passes in the Alps.

With the decline of the Eastern Roman Empire and the rise of Islamic power in the eastern Mediterranean, piracy spread further, with Muslim pirates occupying Cyprus, Crete, and Sicily in the 9th Century, and entering southern Italy.[7] Muslim pirates operated out of the Balearic Islands in the 10th century. From 824 to 961 Arab pirates in Crete raided the entire Mediterranean.

Maybe not Morocco (which would make Corboba's UHV harder to achieve), but Algeria, Tunisia and the Balearics.
They really should start out pleased with both Arabia and Cordoba.

Just to add to what AP said. They should spawn in a small way in the mid 900's and get more frequent and powerful as the mod goes on. Historically the pirate bases around Tunis and Algiers were not fully eradicated until the 19thC. with the French occupation of Algeria in the 1860s. They could start with triremes and graduate to caravels by the 1400s. They should be harassing shipping anywhere from Anatolia to Genoa, the Balearics and around the coast to Portugal. They even raided as far as Ireland and NW France taking whole villages as slaves. It's reckoned over a million and a half people were captured in this way. By 1600 they should have the xebec, the Med equivalent of the carrack which could carry 2 pirates. I posted the art files on the art and flags thread. If you've got time, read the wiki article on the Barbary pirates too. It's fascinating.

 

[Wessel V1]

Barbarian caravels are not very suitable IMO, since they cannot destroy improvements nor blockade. That's only a minor point, I think the idea is very nice, it should definitely have a chance.

Ventian 3rd UHV is bugged.

Got it 1167, a dozen turns after the others, with 14 luxury ressources, 8 different, 1 traded. The turn before had 13, 8, 2, so it must be the 14 ressources, the year 1167 or 7 different untraded ressources.

Only saw one barb trireme, was attacked by neutral ships more often.

There is no french version, english only, but the files for a french version already exist. You find them in the french translation topic. Text on the map does not show correctly.

Alpha 6 is English only, to play in French, get the French text files from the French tread and put them in RFCEurope\Assets\XML\Text

 

[jessiecat]

I think its been reported elsewhere but in my current game as Hungary, I've done the 1st and 3rd UHVs and am teching toward Liberalism and Free Religion. But even after more than 20 turns I've got no Triumphal Arch and no Golden Age.
Is this a known bug?

 

[micbic]

There is a typo in the civ selection screen when showing the Bulgarian UHV; it is ''do not lose any cities'' instead of ''do not loose any cities''
