Please make the Main Gate of Leuven (the southernmost Tolrania City) Destructible, The Zann seem to think it is, as a good chunk of them just group in front of it during a siege. Makes it easier to kill em, but its kinda cheap that way.

Nyeh, turns out im a dummy, a simple edit in the Desc_sm_factions text.
Although was giving the Empire Horde capability because of the Oblivion Crisis?

Im going to put this up here, just because this kind of thing irks me too when i try to modify family trees, but um, i noticed the Septims family tree doesnt show up in game. Though its definitely there in the descr.strat file. Could it be because of the last names? I know that with bigger mods, Eras Total Conquest for instance, adding last names to a family tree does sometimes make it disappear, or not work properly.
Can it be fixed, because im not very good at this kind of thing, what with the proper spacing between names in the strat file and what not?
Or is it intentional because of the oblivion crisis?

To Produno, please check the obsidian javelin items once again and edit them. They give me errors in morghs editor still.

did u start in 8300 or a bookmark much earlier?

The game is known to not being able to handle much past 300 in game years of game play. If it crashes on Jan 1st 8328, it likely has something to do with either the end of the year scripts that check certain things every 1st of a year, or perhaps a war didn't end somewhere in the map, a number of possible things.

EH, if u check the difficulty in the camp menu, it says full realism, difficulty, im not refering to the game engine.
Should probably bug produno about lowering the upgrade costs, and i do think the garrisons are much more realistic in this game. Simply because you cant actually command like 10k ppl like in reality how medieval sieges were.

In my book, this is also like Pendor, you can't just go all Dynasty Warriors Lu Bu style from the get go, you have to really work at it. And use your units, that being said, from my exp of Pendor, once you really get up there in level and abilities, u can do this without issue.
That being said, you could also edit the charfile,and export in a moderately rounded character with a good amount of starting gold, and you'll do fine.

I'm thinking Troop cost is intentionally like this, as the game seems to be following the style of Prophesy of Pendor. I noticed that 8 leadership (using an imported character from a prev version) only gets u a command of about 50 troops, the reknown and reputation play a big factor. In other mods 10 Leadership and under 100 reknown gets u like 200 men.
Full Realism wise, it would be extremely expensive to maintain a large elite squad of troops at all times, including, quarters, food, weapons and armour, etc, the upgrade costs represent basically having to reequip your troops each time. Which in perspective would not be cheap. Btw my char has 1 looting skill, i think if your looting skill is higher, you'll make way more money.

In a sense this does achieve the reality of the game, which was to make it so that no one faction is the "best" and so that Lords can't maintain overwhelming garrisons that the player could never attack. Some castles ive noticed only have like 200 men.

Im just gonna preliminary respond to this, and then check over these things for myself, are you sure you have version 1.168+?
If so, i also noticed there is some kind of Sea battle system with multiple ships, so its not the static native style where you already fight by boarding and engaging someone else.

Hey, at least it knows how to write. Good cause from your first comment i really thought you didn't know the meaning of writing an argument in an academic way.
So using bigger words and going on a long political rant that basically says the exact same thing as me makes you right?

I never said i was trying to refute anything u said, but do take your bashing somewhere else, and understand the context of the discussion before butting in, k. You're the only one here whose offended, in a discussion that wasn't even involving you.
And yes you are being a jerk, in my opinion, and apparent from the conversation i had privately with Elratie, i gave a suggestion, he asked me to elaborate, and i did that, and i accept the thought that if he doesn't wanna do anything, he doesnt need to or have to, i was actually just very happy he actually listened to what i had to say instead of just dismissing it like some other modders do.
And then you butt in, take my words completely out of context like Donald Trump, and preach to everyone like im the villain here for making a suggestion and backing it up with what i believe to be the general opinion. Had u actually looked at the discussion i had with the mod creator you would know that.
Yet instead of getting the full story you just immediately presume im some random jackass making a long suggestion.

Did i say your opinions are wrong or invalid, No, but i did say you that your acting very self-righteous for criticizing a discussion you know nothing about, yes.

Also using a host of big words, (My biggest word was self-righteous) doesn't prove anything. If anything it proves to most people you're very disingenuous, why don't you look that word up, and then read Politics & The English Language - By George Orwell and then come talk to me. The gist of that essay, anyone who has to use really big words and jargon constantly, doesn't really no what their talking about.

Oh and saying im being hypocritcal as your argument, doesnt answer anything. Also, addressing only the parts of the argument that you like, doesn't show me you actually cared about what i was saying from the beginning, you just wanted to have someone to be angry at because again, you contributed something to the mod, and feel your more entitled to it then i or anyone else who has a well-thought out suggestion is.
And if people actually read, instead of just listening to the loudest voice in the room (reverse that how ever you like) we wouldn't have Donald Trump or any of the problems today, caused particularly by the right-wing of this country.

"And yes my way more informed and well-thought out opinion IS more valid than yours, because yours is neither of those things."
Well if it makes you happy to be better than me, hey go for it, stroke that e-ego you know. Basically your saying you whole purpose was trying to be right/correct, so self-righteous, yeah thats the exact definition of the word.

Hey jerk ***, don't take my words out of context and project what you think they mean on to them. I had a very amicable pm chat with Elratie, and i understand his viewpoint fully.

Oh, but apparently to you everytime someone says their opinion in an apparently less than kiss *** way, its your right to get outraged.

I had a long chat with Elratie and he nowhere expressed he was offended by my comments. But apparently your his spokesman huh.
If you want to be offended that's your problem, but take your self-righteousness out somewhere else.

The problem with public mods is that we mixed the privacy, single control(Or team control if you look at mods like Thrawn's Revenge) with allowing people to make suggestions and comments. There should just be no comments, and no opinions anywhere on Moddb, would that make you happy, huh jerk?

Democracy only works when everyone can make their opinions heard, self righteously trying to say someone else's opinion is wrong is what's killing America, and leads to dictatorships, or corporatism.

Its also impossible to have private or paid for content because frankly, the corporations designing these games would most likely constitute it as a copyright/trademark infringment, because you'd be making money off of their game. Or two, the issue of money would determine the quality of mod. If you want the whole argument, i suggest you google this and look for a reddit thread dealing with the whole subject.

Dont be a self-righteous jack hole, and don't reinterpret peoples words to how you believe they are meant.

Oh i get it now, you gave Elratie some models for this mod so you believe your entitled to making this opinion? Why don't you re-read your own comment and then tell me how wrong you sound. I.e your telling me i have no right to suggestions, but that because you made something for the mod you suddenly do? Oh wait, i don't see your name up there with the red tag "Creator".

So its not self righteousness then, its just the "im more entitled than you to feel this way", which kinda still is self-righteousness. If you wanna feel that way, why don't you go be a little thought police guy for North Korea.

Now if someone says "Your Mod is bad, please do a) b) and c)" i think the whole community has the obligation to shut that guy up, but reinterpreting my suggestion to that extreme is exactly what you did.

Its also pretty basic that if you don't have some sort of premise for making a suggestion, your gonna get a flat NO, regardless of what it is in life, try it sometime, try going up to a CEO and say, you should do X or shouldn't do X without sussing out the reasoning, see where it gets ya. (Oh and here comes the reinterpretation of that comment with the question, Are you a Ceo?followed by a bunch of negatives etc etc)

1) Too Big? Why Cuz to be realistic it would be 3 times the length?
I really think you should poll the people before u say its too big. If they generally think so, well, theres always the Sovereign Class which is only twice the length.

2) Only the front weapons firing in EAW basically is the point, it also can almost singlehandedly destroy most fleets. If u include a Front with about 10 Small weapons slots and 4 large ones, i dont think theres gonna be an issue, especially if you use weapons mods that Make the Lances L-Class and add shiny much bigger Xl weapons.
You could also make some Unique weapons with Extra Long Range that can only be used on the Executor. A couple of the modded XL weapons have a range of 250 so, its not unusual. Also if u note what AI ships do against Big ships, if they charge, they generally true to charge right up to the center point of the opposing ship model, so if the center point of the executor is to the back of it, all its weapons will be used, and it will probably be very effective if the players put alot of Flak artilery etc for this case.
3)It would go puff? Then give it 100k Hull. And this also assumes that players don't know how to give it Max Armour and shields. This also assumes Players wouldn't use it as part of a larger fleet action where they'd use about 4-8 Screen Ships which have a fast combat speed, and that all their ships move at the same speed in combat (they don't). Personally i'd tell them to edit the speed bonus from the Aux slot thrusters, thats what i do, i never have this issue defending a Bellator.

4) If you're defining too big as, would take up half the space in the system, your wrong, i've had three Bellators floating over my home planet with no real space issues. Scaling it to twice the size would be just fine. I.e Bellator 7200 meters, Executor 19000, from the Star Wars Wiki, so 15000 meters wouldn't be too bad.
5) See reasons above.

In canon, Vader's Executor crashed into the Death Star II and exploded, Isard's Executor was impossible to destroy and (spoiler) the New Republic Acquired it and eventually used it 20+ years later to destroy a huge chunk of the Yuuzhan Vong Fleet by using it as a massive Kamikaze weapon.
Most of the other executors either had to be destroyed from the Inside or sabotaged at half built/repairs stages etc. Only Zsinjis(however u spell his name) was i think destroyed in a fleet action.

6) If u really still dont want to make an Executor, how bout a compromise, The Night Hammer for instance, is only 9000 Meters, slightly bigger than the Bellator, and to most Star Wars buffs, is equally Iconic, and could replace the Leviathan ship type well.

Its a great mod Elratie...but

Personally though, i dont think anybody cares if the "executor would be too big"
You may as a modder and thats fine because that's what being a modder entitles you to. And at least your not as callous about things like this as Cozur.

Theres already a mod that kind of uses the Executor design, called Elves of Stellaris, so i don't really understand the reasoning behind this, cuz her ships are way huge. My only problem with it is basically every ship from corvette to Superdreadnaught looks similar, unlike the Star Wars mod where there are a great deal of unique ships even if on principle an ISD is basically a giant version of a Victory class.

Both of you did great jobs, im just saying, i think most people can't really consider it a Star wars mod without Darth Vader's giant Super Star Destroyer lording over planets and intimidating the hell out of everyone. And also, i think most of us use mods that don't make giant ships like a Bellator charge headfirst into battle, cuz lets face it that's wildly unrealistic. If that were the case, and there was no mod that changed ship behaviors, then it'd make sense not to make a massive ship because it would look very weird charging a formation of ships.

And Yes i do realize you wont be able to make the executor be anything like it is In Star Wars Empire at War mods etc.

My Executor pitch aside, you could replace the Venator with a Tector Class (more realistic because its basically a stronger ISD) and move the Venator down to battlecruiser class, which was i believe it was defined as in legends canon.

This is actually a good idea, and i'm happy its Corey and his team that are going for this.
That being said i really think that yes Ascendency and ICW come first.
Its a good idea considering it allows us to involve all aspects of the Star Wars universe rather than just the space battles etc.
I have three suggestions:
One, you're definitely gonna have to do some kind of timescale overhaul, the vanilla game calculates in days, so to cover the period from 4 ABY to 26 i think it is, would go by really fast in vanilla. Perhaps scaling it down to hours and making each month equal an in-game day instead.
Second, to make it realistic, i would think the factions would have to have large starting fleets just because of the fact that the AI is bad at expansion early game(otherwise we'd end up waiting like 10 years to have a massive space battle when in this time period there was one almost every year somewhere.)
Third, would probably have to figure out a way to make the AI not corvette spam, it would defeat the purpose of fighting a faction like the remnant if all the built was corvettes.

Btw, for anyone experiencing an issue where the Ship Designer list does not in fact show all the ships that are part of this mod, please click New Design at the top of the list and then the auto complete box on the right side of your screen.
This should with the appropriate class selected such as GE Super Star Destroyer, add in the Bellator etc and son on.

I feel its useful to put this here because i spent about a day confused over this before realizing it wasn't a fault of the mod or game not reading something, it was just me.

I.e Three's a Crowd...

Problem, for most of the Moddb community we have seen a ton of "Joke" Mount and Blade Mods that were just total plagiarized smash ups of other peoples works.

Two, there's already two excellent ASOIAF Mount and Blade Mods, despite what most people agree is Cozur's god complex over one(but hey, its his mod after all and he is sole modder on it). Even then theres a well worked on alternative.

Three, probably nice to be a private mod that could be published when completed, but until this mod proves to the community that its not simply a troll mod and has its own uniqueness with all the proper permissions to the materials of other modders(such as using the Brytenwalda system as Produno has for his),this shouldnt be taken seriously to say the least.

Will we see Ysanne Isard? As she is the first era Hero in ICW for the remnant, or for that matter reborn Palpatine?

Is there a reason in Capital Planet Victory Mode, that the New Republic faction isn't technically defeated when you destroy their capital?

This means even if i'm the sole faction standing i have to decimate every or nearly every last thing of the New Republic's in order to get a military victory declared.

The Hand, Alignment and Imperials all give you a message of the player being defeated when you destroy their capital, but not the Republic.

Is there a way for the Remnant to start on or near Coruscant on any of the bigger maps, particularly the United Front map, started on Bakura there and just worked my way inwards from there.

I don't think this is a bug, rather just the AI being retarded, but one of them while they were defending their capital planet simple kept moving their fleet back and forth around the outer edge of the gravity well and it never attacked my invading fleet, so i was basically able to strafe them to death.

I agree with this, better to release full and working on a working game, than a full release that creates some annoying bug that ruins the all important 1.0 version of the mod.

Will 1.0 or future versions be for 1.82 or the soon to be default (its currently opt-in) 1.83 patch?
A late update for an older game yes, but i ask because Sins of a Galactic Empire already patched there's i think.

Interregnum uses those base game assets is probably why(even with LAA enabled).
I played 0.9 Ascendancy and never had an issue so yeah.
Thanks for the reply Corey, can't wait for 1.0 to be out.

I think i heard this in one of the videos but after doing my research over the sins engine and the various crash/freezes that tend to happen, and playing Interregnum and seeing the AI still spam the hell out of ships(and consequently getting freeze/crashes for the same reasons). Are we going to see something different in Ascendancy 1.0? I heard there'd be more focus on capital ships and of course only 4 factions means less things moving around.
8 factions or more on Interregnum large random or huge i guarantee gets a late game freeze up.

Looks interesting. But i thought Paradox issued a ban on all new mods for Ck2 and some other games being released outside of the paradox forum etc?

To both posts 1. Yes at some point far into the game theres just too much for the game to handle and it will crash at the same date, if youre unlucky it could be 20 years, or it could be 50 yrs like in mine.2. The war doesn't always trigger, although i think someone on our forum said there was a problem here too, but then again maybe you just arent allowing the event chain to work right, im not sure.
If you want to find out how the dragons work, tweaked since the first essos release you should go to the forum.
Just google Citadel A Game of Thrones, our mod forum should be there.

The current version of AGOT is incompatible with the current CK2.
If you have trouble starting the game, you might have parts of an old version that you didn't uninstall before installing the new version. If not, its probably as stated above. Yes all the important characters are playable, if you can't play them, you might want to get on the home website and ask them directly there. Plz no spam topics, make a clear issue and topic in the appropriate section if you do so.

READ THE COMMENTS PPL.

This guy clearly stole much of his stuff, he's a troll, this mod is a troll. When other modders who he is crediting, clearly have stated in posts that they did not give permission to this guy to use their work, refer to the Taleworlds forum and specifically any threads regarding feodorgera, i believe his other mod got deleted by the administration, you know this guy is trolling.

Nice concept, do it legitimately and fair to the players, allowing cheats and no one hit deaths because you can only do 5 damage and you might be regarded otherwise.

I know, he had that other one which wouldn't have been so bad except for kiddie porn, impossible to kill enemies, and a no cheats, that and stealing from people who i can guarantee would never give permission to use their stuff, as has been said.

The admins should seriously ban this guy for stealing others work and making troll mods, shows how little of a life some people have, which is kind of sad.

Look, other than the weak name and the fact that your excuse for the name of the mod is "it could be worse" i highly doubt your going to get a majority of anyone saying this mod is serious at all, let alone actually about something. A similar random guy release a M&B mod that was a joke actually because eventhough it was an entire world map with like 30 factions, it crashed too often and the guy basically made you die in one hit and scripted the mod so you couldn't cheat period.(he also added kiddie porn ******** in it but that's besides the point.)
Point is don't release mods that look like a total joke, yeah its offensive we get it people, calm the hell down and ignore this kid.

Honestly this mod is probably a total joke no matter what this kid says period. Theres alot of created content on the HL2 engine and CSS that i know of that's supposed to be funny, or supposed to be super awesome cool(models, guns, whole mods etc.) this isn't close.

Not to mention, Not being able to work on it and a 2018 deadline, doesn't encourage people to take the mod seriously.
