Any french traduction of this mod? I know it sucks but i play this game in french my first language and the total war modding community is 99% english. Installing an overhaul mods is hard for me cuz i have to play it in english in order to use it. Sometimes i found french translated mods for some mods. But not all the time

@drunkflamingo85193 жыл бұрын
Hi, I'm the lead campaign developer for Shieldwall. Just wanted to clarify one thing from the video: the mod works fully at ultra unit sizes - the population numbers will match up exactly with the unit numbers when you play on medium, but if you play on other unit sizes everything will still work and have the exact same balance as on medium. Playing on medium makes things look nicer because you'll pay exactly 80 population to recruit a unit of exactly 80 men, but that unit will always cost 80 population even if you change the unit sizes so that there are 160 men in the unit. That way you can change unit sizes without us having to rebalance the pop system for each possibility. Hope that makes sense. Medium sizes were chosen because they reflect (quite accurately) proper army sizes for the time period, which is a rare opportunity when making a total war game. For example, our Norman invasion is 7000 to 8000 soldiers, which is a common historical estimate for the size of William's army. Nice to see the mod being covered, if anyone else has any questions I'll try my best to respond :)

Thrones of Britannia has a lot of mod potential that I haven’t seen anyone take advantage of. Imagine if someone made a mod for it based on the Scottish War of independence, or the English Civil War, or the War of the Roses. The map and the mechanics could be used so well for that and this is the first time I see anyone make a big mod for the game
@adammac49602 жыл бұрын
That’s what I would say. Wars of the roses. Make the larger houses with there own sigils and the smaller factions as houses and Vassell states with there own sigils and armour etc suited to that age. Make Scotland the same. The main house like Bruce with its own Vassel states. This allows you to take a rival smaller house and challenge Lancaster and York. Would be brilliant

I love playing Rose of the republic on small unit size. It really turns everything into a deadly gang fight and then when you do mobilize and have 870 guys vs 700 it really does feel more epic. For ROTR and TOB small unit is historically accurate especially for dark age tactics they were essentially bloody gang fights and lots of vendettas.

alot of the arguments that channels like andy's take or terminator make are based on sheer nonsense , in terms of accuracy yes the ashigaru increasingly dominated warfare in japan and shogun 2 somewhat reflects that which is why i dont have a problem with it , but to then complain about ToB lacking action diversity (it actually has faction diversity) is what i have a problem with , shieldwalls and lots of levies like the saxon fyrd played an important role on the battlefield and were the dominant strategy in western europe and the island of britain (ireland was slightly different with its kerns), now you could say that even tho there are 20 varities of axemen in ToB they all play the same , well duh there is only so many ways in which an axeman can be used and only so many strategies/tactics that make sense

The one big problem I have with this mod is it takes FOREVER to get to the point where you're able to actually start attacking settlements and the economy runs soooo slooowly. Also, the AI is not aggressive at all. I've tried playing in 2 different campaigns and got bored after playing 15-17 turns without a single threat from anyone. I mainly spent my time trying to build things to levy the noble units as commanded. IDK if I'm using too many mods now (6 mods including Enhanced income, all 3 Variation packs,) or have them loaded wrong? I may give it another go when someone comes up with a mod that gives the campaign a kick in the ass.

@@kapitankapital6580 The mechanic is good for me. And i say that because (and correct if i am wrong) battles where fought that way in that era in England, norse warriors used it and Anglo-Saxons adopted it. The problem is that if you want to make that mechanic be balanced for both the player and the AI they should have done 2 things: 1) Make the AI use the shield wall more efficiently and 2) Make the AI much better at flanking. I also want to mention that they made such great siege maps in that game and they wasted it. Its only worth when you being attacked and you have smaller numbers than the AI. Otherwise if you attack the AI just sits on the first level of walls and behind the gate you attack.

@@TheTerminatorGaming I can't remember the name of the position but it's essentially the government tab, obviously there was no government back then, but it was a well known bug on release with no fix to date, I searched the hell out of it and even posted on threads about it and all I got was toxic replies from people saying to just not change it, when I don't see why I should ignore an important part because of a crash the devs ignored

I just tested it and I can indeed change my governors without a crash 🙏👍

@@TheTerminatorGaming amazing, I may just test it myself as it seems like a bug that doesn't effect everyone, but those who it does effect, there is no fix, just work arounds, which if you forget to do, your entire game crashes, I'll post a link if youtube let's me to a steam thread about it, otherwise Google crash, change governor thrones of britannia and it should show up. Thanks for testing though!!

One problem I had with ToB was that the AI only created 1 army at a time. When I was at war with West Seaxe for example they only sent 1 army. When I defeated that one they requrited another one. I had 0 challange at all! Is that something that this mod fixes? (I played on Very Hard) Anyone else feels this is a problem?

Never......West Seaxe would always hit us with a minimum of two full armies attacking separate locations, or at times 3 main stacks with a 4th smaller stack running around to just attack farms/mines/etc. The only low points in combat my friends and I have experienced in ToB was when we killed of the enemy king, his heirs, and runner up generals. Then we would have a few turns of peace as the other factions were trying to recover from having all their nobility wiped out.
