After about three years of diminishing service, MSN has eventually given up the ghost...so I'll post here. I've added: trade_base_income_bonus bonus x requires hidden_resource connacht or hidden_resource mumhain or hidden_resource rogaland or hidden_resource hordaland to each of the port levels, where x is the tier (1,2,3). Discuss here what the CS can/will do. Thx. |

Updated and added that Wessex army and that fort on the road near Cheddar, 148, 37 (1 fyrdmen unit) I'll start a campaign as every faction on M/M (unless you prefer different difficulty settings) and see what should be done to make each faction harder to play. I was thinking what the script should do is: a) remove money from the player b) add troops to nearby rebels and main enemy faction(s) c) add money to main enemy faction(s) d) add infrastructure to main enemy faction(s) I'll also evaluate the difficulty rating for each faction. First draft: Norwegians: E Danes: M Wessex: M Mercia: M Northumbria: M Alba: H Irish: H Welsh: H Thoughts? |

The faction difficulties seem OK - might use that script to make one of them Very Hard (Wales probably) though
Let's keep the CS as simple as we can. If treasury adjustments are not sufficient then - and only then - should troops be added. If that fails then infrastructure might be altered but I'd rather that be avoided if possible. I think all testing should be on M/M. |

I believe the Irish aren't really H ... because they are pretty isolated on their isle, at least my first playtest showed not a really hard game vs. the Norwegians. On VH and with the planned CS though, it might be that the indicator H is reasonable. |

I'm busy/away until Monday/Tuesday - will try and get online if I get any breaks. Once the CS script is done, Aradan, let me know and I'll make a final (?) patch 3 Note to self: Adjust faction-intro difficulties, share cards, deactivate perfect_spy, activate FOW; remember empty.txt |

Addition to your note: Fix the description of Welsh Horsemen (remove the info about their missiles). Add text for the factions' starting units in faction intro text, as per vanilla. Welsh done (mostly). |

I'll test different locations and resources in Ireland, but what are the decisions about rest issues? |

Ireland ports already fixed as best as they can, I believe, only 2 don't ahve trade now, those that are at the western coast. I've mode the port of Tintagel to the north, so now Wigranceastre and it do have trade. Lothene: Agreed, but can't do anything about it, the region is historically shaped as it is; the only problem is that it's capital (Lindisfarne in vanilla VI) shouldn't even be it's capital, because it's not sure it even belonged to Lothene. But it does in vanilla, so we are following... Yep, DS is fixed, haven't changed anything. |

Cool with the ports - could you upload map_regions so i can tset those 2 remaining? So maybe Lindisfarne should have it's own province, and make a new (historically accurate) capital for Lothene? |

That's up to Pal, but I'm fairly sure he wouldn't agree. http://files.filefront.com/vi2+map+regions...;/fileinfo.html But I think you won't be able to do anything, the regions shape and location is...not good. |

Thanks. Not a big issue for me - i won't play as Irland anyway Another question about halie's textures located in models_units\textures\future updates - will they be included? 45 textures were updated in August so i guess some units will need new UIs - i hope it's not a problem if i make them in a week or more? Edit: I'll update your map regions with some border tweaks and addition of one missiong port as you haven't included those fixes from my previous updates :rolleyes: |

I actually removed some map tweaks because they messed up the AI's targeting, but I'm not sure we're talking about the same spots on the map... Okies on the rest. |

No to the extra region. I would have liked Thanet as a region too but I am trying to keep things simple. When 1.0 is out I'm going to leave Aradan with it (if he wants it) as I will no longer have time, at which point any greater work can be then be done. I have added in most of Halie's textures. I will not add in the remaining two or so as the current will do. No UI cards need changing or redoing. I adjusted some already - but I think the updated textures you refer to were mainly tweaks that would not affect the cards. I'm pretty sure no cards are outstanding.
