I suppose that village aren't going to be as "upgradedable", since sooner or later we would end up with a map full of big cities.

I don't mean the opening in the wall where the door will be build. The door is already there, what I mean is a very small gap through which I can look, just between the door and the door-arc. Like peeping through a key-hole.
There is a church looking building in my village, but when I checked what buildings I could add, one of the options was the church so I thought they would just remodel the church, or that the model for the construction site wasn't loading, so the game used the default, finished, model.

Mine, looks like it's already finished, except when looking through that gap. However there was still the option to build it when asking the Village Elder.

The gap is about maybe a centimeter wide. The door is already there. The gap is just between the wall and the door. I have to be in the right angle to actually see what's "inside" the church.

Just went to the church, checked the entire outer-wall, nothing. But when I took a closer look at the door, through the tight gap between door and wall, I could see the table but not reach it. When looking through the gap it seemed like the church was still being build and had no roof.
I tried opening, kicking and hitting the door, but to no avail.

Anyone knows where the "Drafting Table" for the church can be found in a Swadian Village? I build a mill and in that case it was the scaffolding, but I've checked my entire village about 4 times now and just can't find it. There is a church looking building right behind the village elder but that doesn't seem to be it.

What's the deal with those swords that requiere 45 strength?
I don't see how it would be possible to reach that without some cheating, and also they are soon made obsolete by Rapiers and other "higher" tech swords, that have no strength requirement.
Just wondering.

Yip, I just noticed today that if I pick Antipope, the custom troops I get are from the Swadian troop tree. Oh, well.

New question: There are some fation that don't appear in the tech overview, like the Noregr and Agonic order. Do they get bonuses and new units when reaching certain tech-levels, or not?

Okay, I'll do that.
Thanks a lot.

How does building structures in villages work in the present version?
I know that before you had to find a table with some papers and interact with it.
I got asigned the village of Rufar and wanted to check if I could build any structures. I found a table outside of village, close to a mine-looking structure, but couldn't interact with it. Is it that one, or is the correct table somewhere else?
The village seems to have all structures I can imagine, but it's as poor as it can be. At least I've seen a mill and it's surrounded by a wall.

Great. Can't ask for more.

So far the only targ-ish units, at least in name, that I've seen are the "Dragon-Guards", do you mean those?
I was just hoping for a bit more dragony look, something that went a bit more along the lines of the whole "Fire and Blood" theme. Oh, well.
I guess I could change the troop-names of the other units, to fit my idea of Targaryen troops a little better.
It's just a bit weird that there is the option of having the Master of laws recruit Targaryen units as well as your own faction's units aka Crownlanders, when playing as a targ. character.

You're welcome.

So far, he's just standing outside the city and not doing anything.

WoIaF has more roleplaying option: You want to take the black? Ok. You want to play a wildling? Fine. Etc, etc. However making money is harder, since you can't buy shops in towns, that generate income you automatically receive. You can buy acres of land, but have to go to each town to collect the money.
The latest version of CoK has a smaller, more densely populated world-map, the troops of the Free-Cities are more diverse and look quite nice, IMHO. Also some of the quests are pretty entertaining. The Night's Watch and Free Folks aren't present as actual factions.
I'd say CoK is better looking, while WoIaF is more complex. I like both of them, and go switching as I feel like it.

Well, I've seen a Recruiter walking around the map, I'll try giving him some more time.

Go to the Crossroad's Inn, it's close to Saltpans. There look for a NPC called Sir something. He'll tell you about the lost castle of his family. You'll need 10K Silverstags, to rebuild the castle, and an army of at least 50 decently trained soldiers, because you'll be attacked by a band of about 45 slavers who have made their home in the ruins. Then head over to Essos.

Little, but important, question:
I started with a Taragryen character, completed the Old Valyria quest and created my own faction in the hope of getting Targaryen troops, however in my village I only can recruit Crownland soldiers.
So how do get access to Targaryen soldiers? I took over a city and moved my court there, thinking it might help, but nothing so far.
Also I don't quite get how the recruiting through the Master of Laws works: Told him to recruit Targaryen troop, he took the money but nothing happened. Told him to recruit some Crownlanders, the same. Am I missing something?

I need some advice:
After spending sometime enlisted, my character has decided to start his own cohort of Legionaires. I've got some legionaires from Gaul, as well as Italy, 7 archers, and some celtic cavalery.
Now I joined the Roma Gaul faction as mercenary and I'm campaigning with them through Britain. The problem is everytime I try to engage one of the smaller enemy armies my soldier get pretty much slaughtered by the "Celtic Noble Warriors". My usual tactic of having my closequarters infantry in-front, with archers behind them and cavalry on the flank, doesn't seem to be working very well. I managed to beat an army of 80 men, including about 30 Noble Warriors, but it cost me about 38 of my 50 men, so not good.
Any advice on how to counter them? A specific troop-type, a formation anything et all, would be appreciated.

I'll keep checking back if there's any update.

How do I install the patch? I did like the readme said, but I don't see any difference. I had to remove the -overridebigfile add the end of the target line. I ran the link without the patch to check if it worked. The menus were in english, but the races were stated as Taidan, Kushan and $something. In game all the textboxes only showed more lines like $xxxx.
Then I put the locale folder in my Data folder "F:\GOG\Homeworld Remastered\Homeworld2Classic\Data\", and placed the lnk file on my desktop. I modified the target line to my configuration, and started the link. Exactly the same as the other version.
I tried fumbling around with the command line a bit, but didn't work out so far.

As far as I could see same goes for other mods as well, so I suppose it's got to do with the version avialable at Gog. It's the latest update and I've read that it gives some trouble with mods. The vanilla version runs fine though.

I need help getting this to run, and before you say anything, I'm rather reluctant to get a steam account.
I bought HRm through Gog and I have spend the last few days trying to get this mod to run, because I had a lot of fun with the versions for classic Homeworld 2.
I downloaded the files and copied them into the Data folder, then I created a shortcut and added -mod GundamUC0079.big to the destination line. Only thing I get is a crash message saying "General Failure" in different languages.
Any advice is appreciated.

First of all great mod. But I'm having a little problem. In the "Build" box and the task bar all the new units only appear as white boxes even though I can see the units themselves cleary on the screen. Also some of the projectiles come as white panels, for example the main gun of the hig assault carrier.
Is there any way to fix this?
thx in advance
