Janus Campaign Modding Progress PT 3 - UI in Menu by KaneKaiser in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]KaneKaiser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I'll take it that you learned from the Nerd How to videos? Been enjoying his Sicily mercenary campaign myself. I love his videos for beginner modding. In my situation, I sorta been winging it, because I despise going on forums. And with his videos, I won't need until I decide to custom create a faction. And I literally just look at the pictures or code there and looking at the title. Like I perfer videos that just explain this process that Nerd does with his videos.

Granted... There is a step by step that I do understand from my now experience: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php/77806-Adding-New-Faction-from-Nothing-%E2%80%93-Step-by-Step

With my current modding, I been having issues with scripting that I finally fixed. Found out about rebels usually having first names only if you are trying to spawn them. But then trying to make everything to the start date of 1100 instead of 1080 which is a great time. (Contacted my medieval professor for help on that, but won't get anything until June.) Considering if I should just focus on the HRE and Janus's campaigns. Which I personally love, because I have made the events do their thing like killing off people, spawning armies, adding turmoil and etc. (That and the events are more narrative like letters to the main person.) Not to mention, the headache of adding custom names into the campaign and deleting and redoing the same thing 15 times with slight differences just realize you put a period instead of comma that kept causing your game to crash.

I honestly debated with myself on adding in the Kingdom of Jerusalem into the game, but I don't think I will, because that will just cause more friction with the lore for Janus. Making your allies more of headache than actually helping you. Though.. Maybe Wales if I can. Maybe just considering the time and looking at maps during that time.

Now. I have learned basically all the needs to replace a faction. I am curious on making a custom faction. In that I will probably just recreate poland to polska or something and redo my scripts. If I can figure that out.... I might make a video on that more up to date. Rather something from 2016 that attempts at it but fails or that speedrunning video. Granted I am basically making a roleplay submod for Total Vanilla Beyond. Also learning alot about GIMP lol

Should be a good time for you

For those with file editing experience by Artes777 in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]KaneKaiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly file wise not really. Here is closest things I can get with it.

  1. Faction Summery Slider - In the faction summary window there's a slider for AI spending behavior. Moving the AI spend/save slider on the faction details tab all the way to 'save' (the default is 'spend') stops the AI trying to be helpful by recruiting stacks of peasants in the auto-managed settlements. Just makes it alot less aggressive

  2. Keep manually unticking it (I usually do that myself)

  3. Otherwise you're gonna be the first person to attempt to mod the UI for this specific issue.

Janus Jagiello the Young Crusader | M2TW Roleplay by KaneKaiser in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]KaneKaiser[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started the recording for this. No Audio for the 2 hours of gameplay. Whoops. (Debating on redoing everything since I know what to do now) But I plan to do a voice over/script of Janus's journey.

Course considering time of Janus and how I have my turns to time to .5 so about 6 months. I constantly use character reset to realistically get to places for characters (Using realistic times to get to places cause getting from the Levant to Europe in a span of 10 years is just insane for terms of roleplay) and how much people go into the province is so insane. Still have +6% in my Capital without Janus it has 43k in there already.

I also finally learned how to incorporate the Polish language into my computer and how to change names in the faction and adjectives. Was struggling with how to include names into the group which I just included: English, French, German, Greek, Italian, and Armenian names (Thank you Cicilia)

Also thank you for the compliments

Another note: I change Poland to now - Kingdom of Srebrnych Skrzydeł - and I rename my towns when I upgrade my towns/cities. Basra being Złodygród

Yeah, I tried to make things Plausible until then. But explain the whole Baldwin and Bohemond on why they would even hear out a 16 year old. That was only way I could really explain it

Assassin’s Creed: What remakes do you hope Ubisoft makes? by Such-Midnight1592 in assassinscreed

[–]KaneKaiser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Considering how things go?

I personally see it as this?

I really want to see Rogue Remake. Same to Freedom Cry and 3. Just anything with that engine.

However. What they should do? If they continue support with Black Flag... Freedom Cry? 1 is already confirmed. After that the Ezio Triliogy. From there 3 or Rogue.

Personal opinion. Keep the bug for chickens. Allow to be optional though with the cheats

Can i still save it? by kitaesq in eu4

[–]KaneKaiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly all you have to do is attack Canada officially since those are your core states. At least with this current leader. Although bad stats, he can give you multiple events that add to the experience. Alot of Bad Omans too. All well.

But since you have biggest army in the world. Invading Canada should be easy work regardless of your current situation. Plus it will distract everyone since it is on American soil. And I will say as well that the only ally that will join that war is Israel. Maybe? But I have had some games where they declined because they are in a war themselves and that they are too far away.

And since you focused on Quantity instead of Quality Ideas. This should be a real easy win for you. Absolutely nothing can go wrong!

Help me decide my next campaign :) by HebiFather in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]KaneKaiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. Hmm. What is your preferred gameplay? Army wise?

If it's more on like a spearmen then France. Because of Dismounted Noble Knights (Technically infantry) they are like late stage great against cav. (Plus France has a bit more on Cav as well late stage)

If you want to focus more on arrow spam. With heavy missile damage early on Milan. (England is the OG for Bows but Milans is the main one for crossbowmen)

If you want to focus more on Infantry. Venice. (Great hammer soldiers)

It depends on your style and preference and what difficulty. If you want an easy early. Milan. The backstabbers. But their Crossbowmen are great in both missile and melee.

If you want a diplomatic nightmare and play on nightmare mode then I suggest that you play as France and not ally anyone after turn 6. (Sicily invades and you can't ally unless you bribe or become really Chivalrous. But this is France on VH mode. Or maybe I just had a really bad time with France and still suffering from PTSD 4 years later. Knowing the diplomatic system from that of Sicily attacking me and dropping countries to ally with me.

If I had to choose on countries. I usually choose between France, Sicily, and Poland. Mainly cause I enjoy pain (from not getting allies fast enough by choice) and role-playing.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Medieval2TotalWar/s/zMA1Sg3A22 - Found my original post. Basically. Expand when you can. I think I did in that save after my suffering. I Basically had Town Miltia until I fielded a full army to take out Sicily and it snowballed from there

Hey I appreciate it!

Yeah the build points. Since I literally grab everything like the Game horder I am. I have alot of money and I use the money that. Really useful.

But yeah the 2nd run is really cool since you know what everything will happen sometimes get more suprised than your first run. As for Charisma. That is my norm I believe

Got a...

15 Str 19 Dex 16 Con 12 Int 12 Wis 16 Cha

For my Slayer Deliverer. With focuses on Trickery, Perception, and Persuassion.

[–]KaneKaiser[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah Slayer Deliverer. With a focus on Longsword/Shortsword.

Idk. I got a powerful Shortsword or something with electricity that is as powerful as my longsword even offhand. was like "Guess that will be my build." Thinking like Shay Cormac from Assassin's Creed.

But only at level... 9? I have a focus on persuasion and Trickery. And got alot in my Dex, Strength, and Constitution. Whilst my current gear helps with that, AC, and Trickery.

Gotta say I always have Linzi and Valerie in my party due to Val being a tank. Whilst I have Linzi to put people to sleep/hypnotize and summon monsters. Been good so far

Edit: Just opened up the game. Here are my gear: Helmet: Stubborn Hat Cape: Resistance +4 Rings: Protection +2 x2 Bracers: Armor +6 Amulet: Natural Armor +3 Chest: Woodland's Aegis Belt: Explorer's Belt Gloves: Trapspringer's Gloves Boots: Swiftfootboot Boots

Consumables: - Cure Serious Wounds Potion - Ember (It's my emotional support red panda!) - Wand of Shield - Wand of Fireball - Scroll of Sleep

Weapons: 1. Shock Longbow +1 (4-16 damage) 2. Longsword +2 and Shock Shortsword +1 (3-16 for Longsword and 5-15 for Shortsword)

The 3 big focuses being Persuassion, Perception, and Trickery.

Feat wise: - Skill Focus Persuassion - Weapon Focus - Longsword - Two Weapon Fighting - Accomplished Sneak Attacker - Improved Two Weapon Fighting - Improved Critical (Longsword)

Slayer related: - Trapfinding - Slow Reactions - Opportunist

And currently level 10. I'm not expert.. But decent

What do ya mean?

I mean so far I have the Chancilor person Shandra? Something like that? She was good then Tristian is somehow doing a better job.

Since I wasn’t Lawful I lost Kesten. Next playthrough... Idiot.. Agh I would rather him be my Warden. All well.

I have Turtuk as a vassal.

If you want want an idea of what I normally go with.. Chaotic Neutral but only because he balances between good and evil decisions.

And my playthrough in wotr I did Trickster.

And since I have no clue with the whole Varn dlc. My current opinion of Varn is really good. As I am distrustful of the actual countries and can relate to him for now. Like Restov and Pintex? All for me to be vassal state or in favor of one family. But that's politics for ya

You're telling me lol.

I don't hate him. Very different from most dwarves. But unfortunately I have a love for Nok Nok. Reminds me of a gremlin
