Things Get Worse, Pyrrhic Victory, The Burgundians Arrive - Roman Disaster Campaign - #4

[@jamesnatchut9350]

Dave, keep going. Surely things can only get better from here!

>things got worse exactly what you'd expect a 5th-6th century western roman dweller to say at any given moment of time

"And then..."

[@larrythelorry6186]

This series and mod is great. It's fun to see you genuine struggle with a game you're good at :D

[@jgenard]

So sorry about that unit card crash. Working hard to end it!

[@Tvalfager]

The palatini and the bodyguard units all spawn characters. Every unit with low men count does this!

[@Flow86767]

This mod is so great 😃

[@RigobertosTacoShop]

That med 2 Calvary rant.. I felt that right were I live. Literal will say to my self how I wish I was playing Attila or Rome 2 in those moments😂

[@PanzerblitzRnR]

Since the crash happens when using the building/unit browser, it's a good idea to quicksave before exploring them.

[@Tvalfager]

1:28:00 You do get to choose in this mod though! :D

[@armchaircivilian3076]

i'm loving this campaign Dave . As much as i sympathise with your mod issues, i'm amazed you can even get med 2 to work on win 11 - it crashes every time i win a battle on the battle map for me!

[@antonisauren8998]

Due to your videos I got into Tsardoms as Milan. Same install that worked perfectly fine last year, now crashes almost every battle. :

[@PanzerblitzRnR]

Have you used the 4gb patcher for your game applications? There are also units in Tsardoms that crash the game in battle. I don't recall which ones, though.

[@antonisauren8998]

@@PanzerblitzRnR Sure. As I said it worked fine year ago with exact same install. Unless some windows/driver update messed it up, it might be faulty italian unit. Back then I fought around Moldova most of the time.

[@reak73]

That final battle there went pretty much like almost all my battles in this mod go. I'm not the best total war player but I feel pretty competent in most mods/vanilla titles. In ID I just go from pyrrhic victory to pyrrhic victory

[@trombonegamer14]

I'm playing as dumnonia so a very different experience, but i usually rely heavily on skirmishers and dividing enemy forces to destroy them unit by unit. It's usually much less costly than a full frontal assault

[@Yuyam12]

This mod is amazing, but the unit balance is all over the place, units seem to have way too much morale. That cavalry charge at 23:10 would have routed that unit in the vanilla game.

[@SorcererDave]

That situation was not very normal for the mod. I think it may have been a combination of the enemy general's traits and the balance of power bar being so massively skewed against me that was boosting their morale. In the previous episode I routed an identical unit of levies with an identical cav charge.

[@Yuyam12]

@@SorcererDave Well there's that, but I suspect unit scale affects morale too, since on huge unit scale, units rout and return to the battlefield much faster than on small. Even on medium battle difficulty, I find it much harder to rout units using hammer and anvil tactics that in vanilla or other mods, where I'm used to playing on huge scale.

[@RigobertosTacoShop]

Not sure it its the mod or your choice, but it seems like the small units your playing with make losing your general a higher chance as well. Only 15 in a unit is terrible sounding

[@trombonegamer14]

Not sure what scaling he's playing on, but the mod definitely lowers the unit numbers of cav in general, and elite units tend to have less numbers than your average spearmen
