Warlords: Total Realism 2.0

[Houman]

yeah this can be done easily. No problem. We have just to sort out the bugs we have right now. I hope this weekend we can release Beta 2.

@MindProphetX: no border after cature
this is bug in python (i forget to update some python code when optimizing other parts..) - if you want to update this before patch:
file:CvEventManager.py
method: onCityAcquired
line 860/861:
must change variable city to pCity

@Hian the Frog: slavery and great wall:
this can be problem - when designed slavery rebelion, we never know about this feature - this must be checked somewhere in SDK, so for now it will be not fxed in next release

@warkirby: great wall update:
no, this can't be done - same limitation is in normal warlords and it is documented - great wall never expand after builded


@rickaucoin, storm6436: install problem
read my post in bug thread about this ( i need some registry info from you for installer update)

Mercenary duplicate
because i was never played game with more then 6 civs, i never meet this bug. you are right, it is most critical bug in Warlord beat release, now i am starting working on this

PackBuild tool
thank for link, i will test this. If this will be working ( as i hope that it will), all next releases will use this

Will this beta 2 version include ranged combat from Dale's mod perhaps?

 

[Houman]

No, not yet. The code is almost bug free, yet not perfectly balanced. Siege is overpowered. This has to wait.

 

[MindProphetX]

No, not yet. The code is almost bug free, yet not perfectly balanced. Siege is overpowered. This has to wait.

I agree with your remark about the seige Houman. Seriously that and you still have people whining that the game is too much defensively balanced, thats b/s because it seems to easy now to take a city regardless of who is defending with only a couple of catapults.

 

[WarKirby]

But you can just as easily defend with siege weapons

[storm6436]

Couple of 'pults in a city makes it pretty hard to take... especially if you have mounted units in the city. Pult up the attacking stack, then splat the hell out of the stack with the mounts. Works great with US Cav. Wish they got Blitz

this strange bug is not bug in mercenary code itself, it depend on StackAid problem - for all players with ID > 20 (StackAid was designed for support 20 civs), StackAid update (after place mercenary in city) failed, which lead to cancel merc placement code -> merc unit is not deleted from wait pool -> is placed again in next few turns -> error in stack aid, not deleted from pool -> and again and again....

quick solve:
edit StackAid.py (Total Realism/Assets/Python/ directory )
at lines 44-48, there is something like
aScout = [0,0,...,0]
.
.
aSiege = [0,0,...,0]

each array must contain at least twenty-five 0 (zeros) - 24 for max civ, 25th for barbarian

then you can delete cloned merc - maybe some merc will arrive again (because is in pool), but after that it will be removed from pool correctly and not cloned in future

Mexico

EDIT: in TR world map, player with ID > 20 (which is affected with this bug) is:
Mehmed II
Ragnar
Shaka
Brennus

and another note: somewhere in Warlords bug thread was mentioned Mehmed II bug, which can lead in CTD for some graphics cards (when meet Mehmet) - if you are affected, read this:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=181960

(this will be included in next patch from Firaxis)

 

[Hian the Frog]

Mexico,

Thanks for correcting merc cloning bug. I will try again the TR world map now.

[Houman]

We are targetting Beta 2 for this weekend. Lets cross the fingers that we get finished...

 

[Exerior]

lol, don't know if i have pushed this bug finding - but i have reported the bug with too small arrays (i want to understand how the stack combat code works ^^)

Nice work to figure out, that this cause mercenary clones !!!

 

[Houman]

Guys,

I need badly first and last names for the following civs asap. I need them in order to use them for the name generator.

Celtic
Ottoman (Turkish)
Korean
Viking (Scandinavia)
Carthage
Zulu

Many thanks
Houman

 

[WarKirby]

Vikings.

Erik the Red
Olaf
Hagar
Baelog
Ongar
Jorak

As faer as I know, vikings used the first names of their father, with son on the end.

Sven Eriksson is the son of Erik
Olaf Svensson is the son of Sven
Hagar Olafsson is the son of Olaf
you get the idea.

Also put in King Canute maybe as a GG

 

[Spartan117]

Ottomans

Selim I

Mustafa Kamal

Murad IV

Turgut Reis

Murad II

Suleiman the Magnificent


How are the great generals going to be implemented in gold version? similiar to TR for vanilla civ, or how the great generals function in warlords?

 

[Spartan117]

Carthage

Hamilcar Barca

Xanthippus

Maharbal

Hasdrubal Barca(maybe, a little unsuccessful as a general)

Mago Barca

If you have the great generals as it is in warlords, then you dont need too many names, i think. Great Generals dont come as often as they did in TR for vanilla civ.

 

[Spartan117]

Zulu(commanders during the anglo-zulu war)

Ntshingwayo Khoza

Cetshwayo

Somopho kaZikhala

 

[riesscar]

Will ya'll be using any regiments or 5-civ formations? I love this mod, but it loses much of its potential due to boring formations. I'm glad to help add it if you're interested.

 

[Houman]

We had regiment and got rid of it. It makes it too slow for most players. It is only decoration anyway.

I have yet been able to trade techs with any Civs. I am in 1946 and just finished scientific method. I know some Civs have other techs because I have a spy in a city and know what they are building. I load the game from the start menu and load it thru TR. Where do I turn on the trade tech button? I have looked all over and can not find it. Yes I had the alphabet and writing a very long time ago.

 

[vicentiko]

is it available already total realism for warlords?
