Post by: Tears of Destiny on April 25, 2012, 08:10:13 pm: Maybe we can set up a hot-seat campaign? I've always been interested in doing one again now that I have the time.

Post by: Berserkadin on April 25, 2012, 11:14:39 pm: If you feel like SS is to easy on its own (especielly endgame, just steamrolling the whole world is kinda boring) try out BYG, especielly the new fifth version. Just started out a VH/VH campaign as Denmark and it's really challening. Instead of 2 rounds per year you get 12, feels alot more realistic, supply system, totally different recruitment system, everything feels so much more realistic and much more challenging. Tried to start on gracul AI, but since I, as the player, cant play as recklessly as usual, it was a very punishing 50 rounds since the AI did that. Gangbanged between Norway and HRE and the pope hated me for fighting back, goddamn pope. A really awesome addition to SS if you think its to easy.

Post by: Christo on April 25, 2012, 11:18:11 pm: VH/VH, really?

Are you masochistic much?

If I'm correct, the AI gets insane bonuses, while you get shafted.

That's nowhere near realistic, I'd stay with H/H if I were you.
Title: Re: Who else here plays Stainless Steel for Medieval II Total War Kingdoms?
Post by: Berserkadin on April 25, 2012, 11:25:45 pm: Always playing on VH/VH since I as a player have alot more intelligence then the AI, I can adapt, it cant, so it's much more challenging (and fun). Already finished campaign as Eastern Roman Empire on VH/VH without BYG and it just got too easy halfway in. The battles are still abit to easy on VH imho. If I really where a maschochist, I would play BYGV with gracul AI, now thats just too goddamn hard.

Post by: Butan on April 25, 2012, 11:42:55 pm: This thread is funny coz I just started it some days ago, and its clearly a major mod for anyone wanting a REAL challenge on a total war campaign game; it clearly delivers, hopefully, coz the 5 minutes loading time at each turn suck balls.

Post by: Turboflex on April 26, 2012, 08:50:37 pm: Does BYG give AI garison script? I forgot which mod does.

I've played a ton of TW games, my main problem with single player is the AI doesn't know how to garrison cities properly so mods that give cities some basic garrison are ++. Even STW2 copied this and you get castle garrison units.

So even if you give the AI a shitload of cheats, he will still be a dumbass moving his stacks outside city and leaving nobody inside. cCheating AI that's fine, I could still win for a while but it just gets tedious fighting wave after wave of cheat stacks, and all nations around you basically hating you by default. It removes a lot of the diplomatic and economic aspects from the game.

In my campaign (no ai garison script but all BYG-5 IA activated), they perhaps misjudge some defenses (principally those who you can reach in a few turns with transport navy), but they man the borders accordingly and I still need to find a weakness in them. Even the poorest defended cities have at least 2/3 units or if they dont, they always have a medium to large army in a one turn radius of them.
They even man the interior of their country, so that if you break their border defenses, they often turn up with some army intercepting you.

Kingdoms or even SS is just too easy even on VH/VH, even though AI manages to mass more forces thanks to retarded battle AI almost every battle ends up as a heroic victory, would recommend it for anyone who haven't tryed it yet.

Raiders, Drenjar and even Huscarls don't treat to cav very well with their short weapons. And spear militia. lol spear militia.) to move around Denmark boxed me in. So I gave the pope the finger for threatening me so much and finished off England anyways with those spare raiders and drengjar. So hard to use raiders effectively but they are so good :'(

Title: Re: Who else here plays Stainless Steel for Medieval II Total War Kingdoms?
Post by: Ronin on May 23, 2012, 11:48:33 pm: Ok then. I am still fairly new to M2T so I just played vanilla until now, so let's stick with vanilla for the time being.

I have been played with England(finished), Venice(lost) Scotland, Denmark, Turks, HRE; had the most fun with the turks That it offered a differed kind of play. A more creative and abusive, to be honest. So let's go with the eastern factions that have good missile cavalry. Muslim factions, Byzantine, Hungary and such.

I think that having an army consisting of mass missile cavalry offers a powerful tactic. Surrounding the enemy from every side with your horse archers, and use heavy infantry to charge from front if necessary (or let enemy charge). This way the enemy won't be able to use their shields to cover from ranged. This tactic is called as "crescent tactic" by the eastern cultures if I am not mistaken by it's name. Not meaning "false retreat tactic", as some people refer the "crescent tactic" as the "false retreat tactic".

Best tactic in M2TW is Hammer and Anvil. If you don't know what it is go google it. It's been used since antiquity. Also a good sub mod that i'm currently playing is in the link below.

He is an amazing writer and is phenomenal at actually playing the game. They are all pretty long, but well worth the read. He tries to make a habit of putting the actual story update in the first post of every page. He does include battle scenes and gives somewhat tactical advice through them, so I can say as a whole reading and watching his tactics has made me a slightly better TW player.

It's simply wasn't hard enough, no matter the game, the mod or the civilization I played.

I've never played multiplayer. Only single player campaigns.

Title: Re: Who else here plays Stainless Steel for Medieval II Total War Kingdoms?
Post by: Tor! on June 09, 2013, 10:06:01 pm: Go to this folder: Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

There you will find a file called descr_events. That's the file that makes all events happen at certain dates, which then unlocks new units / armors etc.

So let's say you want to start in 1370, 150 years later than the late campaign start. All the events which has a date from 1+ and up have to be changed by 150. If any of the values are lower than 150, change it to 1, just in case some triggers are required. Some events have two values, change both with -150 value. That's it, pretty easy but a bit time consuming. After that go to descr_strat and change starting year to 1370.

If you want any other starting date, just change all values with the difference between late era start (1220) and your preferred starting date.

Heads up, first round will be spammed by all the events that happens up to your starting date. That includes the great mortality if you start after 1348 :P

For example; gothicarmor 200, 220, would then be gothicarmor 50, 70

I dont know if its generated randomly (date and number and strenght of stacks) but in my last game I played Lithuania too and I, at first, tried to challenge them on the field but their cavalry was just impossible to match, even with my militia pikemen.

I concentrated in defending whatever fiefs they were trying to surround and completely crushed them with ~~exploitation~~ smart use of the walls and gates :mrgreen:
Cavalry can only do so much in close quarter fights... And they had like 70% of their army composed of heavy cav :lol:

I read sumwhere that it starts at a specific date, when i saw them appear in my campaign (Denmark) i send a ship across the ocean to have a look :D Sum of the H Cav in this have great stats heheh are Lithuania more focused on inf then? I might try the campaign at sumpoint to see it for myself.

Post by: [ptx] on June 14, 2013, 07:06:15 am: Where would they appear from anyway?

Lithuania is focused on effective and cheap light infantry, such as lithuanian axemen, that, being totally cheap, will easily smash the spear militias and other such troops of their neighbours. They have some heavy cav (that is still lighter than knights), some horse archers and some decent archers + crossbowmen. Knights do give a lot of trouble, but the infantry forces i've met so far consist generally of various militia troops, that are inferior to my axemen.
