Why are most of the Dixie provinces majority Afro-American, and most of Texas Yankee?

Thank you for your amazing dedication to this mod

Thanks for another update. Have there been any considerations to updating civics so that earlier ones can have some more power lategame (i.e. like how Autocracy gets Enlightened Absolutism, something similar for civics like Monarchy, Republic, Civil Religion, etc.) and that they can interact with unique improvements more (similar to how the Fortified Monastery gets a bunch of religion civic bonuses)?

For anyone trying to get this mod to launch, here's what I've done that worked:

Make sure your Vicky 2 steam installation is on the 3.04 beta.
Delete your Vicky 2 cache (the Vicky 2 folder in your Documents > Paradox Interactive folder).
Unzip the mod, it doesn't matter where. You'll probably notice that you're unzipping a whole Vicky 2 folder with an attached mod. You don't need to unzip the ASWY mod inside it.
Launch Vicky 2 from this folder via the v2game file and not through steam. It should work.

Is this mod still being developed?

This looks like an interesting mod but I find it impossible to start. Deleting the cache will not resolve a ctd and deleting all of my vicky 2 data and having a a fresh install (with all the files copy-pasted over) not only does not resolve the ctd, but replaces the launch menu with cyrillic and managed to remove the installation in my steam library. A version that doesn't require a near wipe of the existing Vicky 2 data would be greatly apprecaited.

Thank you! An all-in-one download would be the best way to send this mod off.

Battle tower, sorry. They'll destroy a single one (but not the fortress) and the defeat condition seems to kick in.

Any advice for beating the first Angmar mission on the campaign? I try bottlenecking the deathstack down the starting path with obelisks but the lack of ranged units has gotten me beaten every time. There also seems to be a bug where I loose if they destroy a single watchtower on the northeast fortress instead of the fortress itself.

Do you think there's any possibility of adding in the Orthanc Guard (the descendants of the original Numenorian garrison) as an Isengard heroic unit?

Do you think there will be another update before the end of the year?

Excited to see another update but sad that the mod has reached the end of its dev cycle. Thanks for a decade of incredible work and for one of the most impressive M2 mods!

Why is Syriac not the primary culture of Lebanon?

Hello, I've noticed that every time the rename decision comes up as France it keeps renaming Setif, even though it has been named. The decision won't trigger without another province to rename aside from Setif though.

Thank you!

Why are Walloon and Picard not cultures by default?

Thank you. Though why would Miaphysite require a new religion? It's just the theological branch that the Armenians, Copts, Ethiopians and Jacobite Syrians all adhere to. Is there something related to Ethiopian content about it?

Why is Miaphysite called Coptic instead of Miaphysite, and why is the Nestorianism called Assyrian (and for that matter why does Assyria have access to a decision to implement Sharia Law)?

Hello,

I'm sorry for reaching out on your profile, but I didn't know how else to contact you. I don't know if you saw, but I did reply to your response in the Bulwark thread on other possibilities on how to include it in Interregnum. Moddb.com

Probably gameplay reasons since the Blue Mountains would disrupt an otherwise solidly Free Peoples area whereas Erebor would be on the borders of a bunch of other Shadow factions.

While obviously a deviation from the lore, it's not also implausible to think Sauron would make the same offer to another Dwarven faction - the time that Mordor's messenger came was never specified at the Council of Elrond, so it can be interpreted within that.

Thank you for providing an eta.

Thanks, I've made a thread: Moddb.com

Are there any plans to add the Bulwark as a New Republic or Rebellion capital ship?

If you can't distinguish between not wanting to have to sign up/join a discord to download an update to a mod that has been traditionally accessible on moddb and being lazy, there's no point in arguing the matter, it's simply your problem.

If the Beta has so few issues and is functionally a full release, which I can also affirm, just upload it and release a patch for it later like virtually every other major medieval 2 mod.

Is there any content for European powers attempting to reclaim their Arcadian colonies?

Hello, I'm experiencing a similar error to Achwell in the other download where there's a file with a name too long to extract. The issue isn't the directory since I'm just extracting directly into my downloads before I transfer it to my M2 directory, but that it appears one of the files just has an abnormally long name:

MTW2_Pike_advance_stopped_modified_concat_MTW2_Pike_intermediate_brace_step_forward_modified_concat_MTW2_Pike_advance_stopped_modified_modified_SLERP_15_31.cas

Edit: trying to start campaigns and custom battles is giving me a ctd error, I'll try downloading the 7Z.

Edit: Extracting directly from the 7zip to the M2 directory seems to have worked.

Honestly I wouldn't even consider 3K a good total war game, especially when compared to Medieval 2 - it feels more like a musou-MOBA hybrid with a total war strategic interface. I've recommended buying M2 and getting this mod for a good 3K experience over getting the official TW:3K to a lot of people on that reason alone.

I do have the beta and have enjoyed playing it, which is why I think it's silly to be keeping it an exclusive beta on a publicly accessible discord. I don't want to have to rejoin and navigate a discord I have no interest in participating in just to download the latest iteration of a mod I've been able to download through ModDB for years.

Why should we have to join a discord to download an update for a mod that has been consistently updated on ModDB for eight years? IIRC they said a couple of months back it was feature complete minus some cosmetic stuff, and it is incredibly stable and polished, so I don't really see why it can't be uploaded with a separate patch upload later for whatever might need addressing like most other active M2 mods.

The Discord was a mistake
