Tried using this but the Main Menu glitch happened.

Already used the workaround fix but still got the following:

[2684656.466] UpdateDatabase - Loading Data/UnitExpansion_Data.sql
[2684656.467] UpdateDatabase - Loading Data/UnitExpansion_Data.xml
[2684656.472] ERROR: Failed to release save point.

[2684698.572] UpdateDatabase - Loading Data/UnitExpansion_Data.xml

Tried changing the load order manually but it didn't do anything.
 
Thanks for this mod, it really hits the sweet spot imo addressing a core need of missing units in game progression without feature creep or needless bloat.

One critique art wise if I may, do you think adding base plates to the bottom of the mortars is possible / desirable without too much work? The mortar tubes themselves are a bit simplified, but I feel the lack of plates makes it even more visually jarring.

Apologies if that seems out of line. I really do appreciate the hell out of this mod, especially since its a more focused approach to unit rosters.
 
Thank you Deliverator. Great (and really necessary) mod.

I found a bug:

Code: 
[Gameplay]: Validating Foreign Key Constraints...
[Gameplay] ERROR: Invalid Reference on ModifierArguments.ModifierId - "PLUS_X_VS_MELEE_ANTICAV_LIGHTCAV_COMBAT_BONUS" does not exist in Modifiers
[Gameplay] ERROR: Invalid Reference on ModifierStrings.ModifierId - "PLUS_X_VS_MELEE_ANTICAV_LIGHTCAV_COMBAT_BONUS" does not exist in Modifiers
[Gameplay]: Failed Validation.

I already solved it replacing "PLUS_X_VS_MELEE_ANTICAV_LIGHTCAV_COMBAT_BONUS" with "PLUS_5_VS_MELEE_ANTICAV_LIGHTCAV_COMBAT_BONUS"

Keep up the good work!

EDIT: just to be precise: I replaced the line in 2 files: "UnitExpansion_Data.xml" and "UnitExpansion_LocalisationText_en_US"

Apologies. Something must have gone wrong with the tagging to 1.2 in Github because this is fixed in the master branch:

Something must have gone wrong with the Github tagging of 1.2 because this was already resolved on the master branch. Anyway here is the fixed version:
https://github.com/iainmillar23/UnitExpansion/archive/1.21.zip

You'll want to complete your game with your fix first though because this fixes it the opposite way by correctly using PLUS_X_VS_MELEE_ANTICAV_LIGHTCAV_COMBAT_BONUS everywhere.
 
Hi! Best mod that add units to date! Are u considering to cover naval in the future or you think it's good? Maybe there is room for some medieval units. Another suggestion: include some work on military engineers, maybe reducing its cost and increasing charges because today it's useless and I think your mod could cover it since you already are changing other military units! Thank u for the great work!

Deliverator has stated he's not making any more units, but if you want more naval units Warfare Expanded (for MOAR) adds many new ones and TCS Improved Forts and Engineers handles your military engineers.
 
have you considered adding the Cataphract as a classical era heavy cavalry unit? I miss that one :D

by the way, is it intended that in this mod anti light cavalry is +20 and anti heavy cavalry is +15, and in MOAR it's the other way around?

Yes, that's intended. I changed it for S&T following your suggestion, but I didn't change in Moar Units because my intention is stop development on that now that it is Rise & Fall compatible.

Noted. I will try and improve the art for these at some point.

Nice, but Expanded Warfare is for MOAR and this is played instead of MOAR and not with it as the author said himself. The Second one is not working and seems abandoned. If I had the time and knowledge would do It myself. I just thought that those would be nice additions and could turn the mod more complete.

PS.: Another suggestion: Maybe Domrey of Khmer should replace the Trebuchet? They unlock at same tech and have pretty much the same stats except for the bônus.

I know that, it was a suggestion based on your desire for more ships since unless he changes his mind there won't be any for S&T. Or, you can do what I've done and create your own S&T-compatible mod with the assets from EW that Wolfdog has made available: Warfare Expanded (for MOAR) Assets
The Second one is not working and seems abandoned.

I'm not sure what you mean. It's been working fine for me.

I agree, it's a change that I made in my own mod.
 
you should probably release your S&T compatible warfare expanded since Wolfdog already said he's not going to release one himself :D
