Game of Thrones: Total War Enhanced V. 4.9! news

EDIT 2019-12-12- Hello, Gerard over at TWC has made a lot of unit descriptions for the units in the mod, he had also done some traits/ancillaries but i didn't know what to use- they are in 3 separate folders in the data-folder and not in active use.

EDIT of 2019-10-04-

Hello, i've updated the GoT Enhanced SUBMOD for the first time in two years now. It didn't get the rest of the minor faction units, as it would be a waste to add them here if we are going to work on F&B later anyway.

However, it does include the rest of the unit_cards, most symbols/banners done, new Roose/Stannis/Joffrey/Tywin-custom model heroes in the custom battles and in the campaign, custom settlements from Westeros 1.0 excluding the Moat Cailin-settlement due to trouble implementing it - it might be added in a patch later, fixed some silver surfer units in the Nights Watch-roster etc. Might have done additional smaller changes.

EDIT 2017-03/09: Update with quote-fix fixing the CTD:s after most battles, UI-image fix fixing CTD:s for Lannisters when they recruit units using these pictures with too large sizes (has been changed) and EDB recruitment done!

EDIT as of 28/08-2017 - New MAC-compatible GoT:TW Enhanced version 4.9 uploaded!

- made Mac-compatible by TomSrx!

- An installer has been made for both the CD and Steam versions of the mod!

- Installer by Gigantus!

- More info down below.

Before starting the mod for the first time:

ALWAYS remove the rvm-file inside of GoT_Enhanced/data/world/maps/base - Otherwise the mod will CTD when trying to enter the campaign no matter what you do.

When done with the above, and if you want to play the campaign, start a new campaign or load a campaign:

Always start a quickbattle/custom battle and exit - then after you have done this (each time when you start the mod) the campaign will start up just fine.

With some factions you don't need to do this always - but there is a bug and the best way to avoid it is by starting and exiting a quickbattle first.

Also, never use "Auto Manage Everything" because that will cause the game to CTD alot for certain factions.

Regarding the music submod:

"This is what you need to do to get the awesome music to work:

1. Buy or download the albums of season 1 to 3.

2. The mod is already compatible with the music- you just have to get the music yourself and follow the instructions under this text - because i couldn't upload the full albums. And this mod is compatible with the full songs of the first three albums.

3. The game-files are already in their places - just download the music mod for 3.0 in order to get the two songs in that folder, don't touch the textfiles and place the songs in the music folder inside of data/sounds/music.

- Create this folder if it doesn't exist.

4. Place each song of albums 1, 2 & 3 in the music-folder inside of your sounds folder- which is inside the data-folder of your mod.

5. Remove the "Main Theme"-songs of season 2 and 3, as it is the same as the first song of season 1.

6. Rename all songs to numbers from number 1 to nr 67. Don't touch the two songs from the music mod that followed with the download.

7. To be secure- delete the event.dat and event.idx-files inside of your sounds-folder together with the music.dat and music.idx-files.

Now you'll have a fully working music submod.".

1. Adds all the finished remade basic troops of old factions - minus Dorne because Vltima forgot to send me the new Dornish units. I only ever got the Martells, which are new mid-tiers for House Martell - i never got the basic units previewed in pictures.

- All are fully implemented now!

Some pictures:

New basic Riverland troops with armour upgrades:

New basic Westerland basic troops with armour upgrades:

New basic Southern Knights:

New generic Dismounted "chose a region" Swordsmen and Knights- will have different shield-textures based on region:

2. Full basic rosters for these minor Houses:

Tully = Bracken, Mallister, Blackwood plus an almost finished Mooton basic roster.

House Bracken:

House Mallister:

House Blackwood:

Stannis/Tyrell = Florent.

House Florent:

Lannister/Joffrey = Marbrand, Crakehall and Lefford - these aren't entirely complete like the ones for House Tully though. - Swyft were rebranded into Lefford and got a new symbol on their shield texture.

House Marbrand:

House Crakehall:

House Lefford (they have new shields compared to the picture):

It also does add a few individual units such as Mountain Axe Clansmen for House Stark, new sellsword swordsmen, or Cuy Infantry for House Tyrell - basically everything previewed in MODDB is included.

Mountain Axe Clansmen:

Sellsword Swordsmen:

Cuy Infantry:

3. New Frey units, new textures for the Frey units, new remade mid-tier House Tyrell troops, new elite House Bolton troops plus new armour upgrades for these factions. - Also includes a slightly remade and improved group of Tully elite units.

Heavy Bolton Swordsmen:

New Tyrell Swordsmen upg0 and Spearmen:

It also adds new textures for the basic Northern units used by House manderly:

4. Adds the full basic House Penrose (another minor house) units for House Renly.

5. Added House Frey as it's own faction to the campaign, and with full recruitment.

6. Adds the House Frey Faction Description, Walder Frey faction Leader portrait etc.

7. Removes unfinished factions from custom battles, and i mean vanilla ones who sometimes spawned in quickbattles with mercs.

8. Fixes the portraits that were missing in the mercs-directory, which caused "unlocalized placement"-pictures to show for Riverland units and others recruited by some fations.

9. Re-made the regional system a little to have less armies with everyone in them - making more units unique for the proper factions.

10. Adds a huge amount of Warhammer animations if one would want wolfs, dragons, beasts, undead or mammuths etc.

11. Adds a Warhammer online Dragon model for House Targaryen (three Dragons).

12. Adds a Daenarys Stormborn hero-model.

13. All custom units and unit upgrades have gotten new LOD-values in the BMDB - the issue with sprites showing in close distances has been solved.

14. New era system in custom battles - Era 0 is the factions own units plus the regional basic units, Era 1 is those units mentioned above plus all the vasall houses/minor houses who has sworn the main House loyalty - For Starks this would be Umbers, Glovers, Mormont, Karstark, Manderly and Bolton etc - Era 2 is all mentioned previously plus the sellswords.

It's an ERA-system:

Era 0 (Early) - Only household troops and regional troops.

Era 1 (mid) - The above plus all the minor Houses (the Dothraki faction always has it's units in all eras, and House Targaryen have access to Dothraki from Era 1).

Era 2 (Late) - The above plus mercs.

5.0 will mostly be missing portraits and additions to the unfinished WIP factions - but i will put that on hold and move on to ADOS instead.

I am also expecting a guy to release balance/recruitment (remade EDU and EDB) soon after my release - and so i will update it with these files. This will hopefully make RTS-battles more stable.

A third guy was working on custom settlements in battle. We'll see if he was just talking or if he was serious. Would take two weeks and i think almost a week have passed by now.

Mr_Nygren (modder, everything else new basically. New transparant pictures. The work of adding region-specific rebels, capital-specific-rebels, mercs into the EDB, all new pictures not counting the ones Kenzo36 did, new backgrounds, new portraits, the recruitment-system which took alot of time to set-up and fixes of various bugs, silver-surfers and errors.)

Kenzo36 (all the longer unit descriptions in the currently released version (like six maybe), for the "CAV"-texts on a few pictures being cavalry and not infantry, for the Frey non-transparant hero-portraits and for the new unit-info pictures being in the released version for a few units -like the Lannister Swordsmen unit-info pic.)

Game of Thrones V 4.6:

VltimaRatio (unit modeller, all improvements on the models already in the game).

Mr_Nygren (modder, everything else new basically. Plus the implementation of everything.

Game of Thrones V 4.7:

VltimaRatio (unit modeller, all improvements on the models already in the game. Creation of every model, and it's an impressive and amazing number just in this 4.7 version - if we count the ones who aren't included, then he has done a tremendous effort this summer - basic units re-done for all, new elites, new minor houses, symbols, portraits for new units, textures, weapons, models).

Mr_Nygren (modder, everything else new basically. I have worked on the mod both in dec/jan (changes seen in 4.6) and may until now. Implemented all the units to my version of the mod, created some Targaryen symbols in custom battles, made weapon variations out of the raw-files VltimaRatio provided me with in january - creating more Targaryen and Dragon-units than just the spearmen, implemented units to the descr_strat, to the descr_rebels_factions, hidden resources to descr_regions and the units to the edb - basically made the units available in the campaign, fixed the CTD-bug that always crashed the mod at a certain turn plus done additional smaller stuff).

Jurcek1987 - Helped me with fixing a glitch making the Targaryen Spearmen hold their weapons wrongly - also added the Banner Carriers to the Bolton model - using the ones from the Western Overhaul as a base - the textures where then moved from the old carriers to the new ones that worked fine with the Bolton models.

Game of Thrones V 4.9:

VltimaRatio (unit modeller, all improvements on the models already in the game. Creation of every model but two, - basic units re-done for all, new elites, new minor houses, symbols, portraits for new units, textures, weapons and models).

Mr_Nygren (modder, everything else basically. Implemented all the units to my version of the mod, beaten the CTD-crash that was plaguing this mod, fixed the LOD-levels, added all the Warhammer animations, fixed the missing portraits if they existed, removed unused factions from custom battles, added House Frey to the campaign etc - basically everything but the creation of the models.).

The Return Of Reckoning team (runs Warhammer Onlines current build) - for the Warhammer dragons.

WhiffOfGrapeshot (mod-team-member of Warhammer:BotET) stated this:

"The Return Of Reckoning team runs the current Warhammer Online build, which was released for use. There should be no problems using assets taken from Warhammer Online."
