Invis All In One [Totalwar 3kingdoms Realism] *Updated 12th Aug* file

[UPDATE LIVE]

[Incoming faction reskin- in next 20 mins

[Lui bei to green]
[Cao cao to Blue]
[Sun jian to Red]

Cao cao's vanilla Red uniform --> Goes to Sun jian [Wu faction]

Kong rong's blue to Cao cao [wei]

[will tweek cao cao to be a little darker and lui bei a little darker green tomorrow-

-"Realistically though" most armies were the same colour and were only separated by different armor styles and flags.

So- i'm going for the middle ground here. -Why lui bei was yellow default god knows...

yeah so far the ai are pretty meh at best- I'm hoping the blood dlc will add better animations and by the look of it "It will"

and yeah I do but it's not strictly for "Modding" - More of a discord for me, family- mates etc

-I Am trying to stay away from uploading edits to the main mechanics for the mod so when radious gets his thing going wont overlap with his work "aside the realism on the unit side" But I have made the edits for myself, but not put them with the mod yet as I am trying to focus on the battles/gameplay side of things and feels, leaving room for people to have custom camp settings/ other mods running parallel.

Time will tell, but I might need to separate "Realism" and "hardcore romance versions down the line" It's easy enough to do.

-Once steam workshop is up, il be uploading anyway.

-Right now this mod only covers about 70% of what I've changed for myself- the rest is edits that would almost 100% conflict with anyone else's mod.

yeah that was because of a bad edit to 1 line when I was editing loot amounts-

Happend to me too. Fixed now.

Was Campaign_variables- it somehow disabled itself in the file while I was playing about with loot. Just re-uploaded should be fixed- say if it is still not working. Cheers

I'm not getting any crash on startup, just tried it myself.

Do you mean battle? or game load or?

are you using any other mod?
and correctly installed etc?

Yeah do not use the beta as it's unstable and i have no way of knowing what is conflicting..as for Radious, It will always conflict with my work over unit's and stats/features because he goes for casual gameplay over realism and I go for realism over casual gameplay as I like the game to be as hard, but as realistic as possible-I dont get a kick from winning easy, but when I win hard- I expect a reward. ...It's why I usually use his work myself, but over-paste my changes and run that as my current game. [But that's my private mods] not what I upload -if you get me.

My mods are usually made to overlap other peoples work and add a hardcore spin on the overall gameplay. I usualy leave the money and other things that effect Camp difficulty as we all have different preferences to how hard we want the campaign. I find radious too easy myself so I often edit his work massively before I use it.

Most of us fall into the "Casual player" or "Hardcore"
and I always focus on battles primarily as I dont really give a **** about the story/ plot, just the pleasure of fighting and everything associated with it.

-I would rather have one or two epic 20-40k battles that decides the fate of multiple settlements, than multiple smaller skirmishes that have little to 0 outcome on capturing a city or region- given the state of settlement garrisons currently being crap to say the least-

With radious currently, it's just a spam army fest- great if you like constant action, but I like serious consequences to loosing my main army and being limited to a few "Huge" armies moving around - "Like they really did"

En.wikipedia.org

Downside is- you cant play this way without a good pc. -
but you can sorta get half way with a alright pc.

I'm not- So there might be your issue.
[Will be my issue once the game updates too eh ;)]

-Until it does I have no clue whats causing it, but if it's a crash most likely will mean they have changed the coding that I've edited somewhere in my mod.

"Usually means camp variables or something else" -I wont be able to fix it, or find the cause until they update it or someone finds what edit is causing it.

"This is why i dont edit anything thats in beta" - 7 days to die editing drove me up the wall with their constant updates so much i only ever update stable versions lol.

changed my mod description to highlight this issue, thanks for pointing it out and the forewarning.

-You will want to revert to stable then for the time being.

this makes romance,abit more drawn out and battles more gutsy. makes records mode more brutal -

"Until the blood update things wont go full hardcore and I can start working on that side of things too. -animaation edits and unit changes until l the mod tools come out.

"Unit editor etc" dont get me wrong,I can copy paste unit styles onto other units and make new units, but whats the point if they are not historically accurate and serve a purpose or change battle dynamic

"If it's the unit changes" - or some other dumb thing, id have to remake that part of the mod from scratch using new code- could take awhile as I spend a couple weeks perfecting this to how I wanted it -

-Currently 6 mins until the download is done for the new patch-Then I can start looking for the problem via- elimination.

Not good- wasn't in the camp variables- just tested- May be units or projectiles... testing now

Not in the projectiles- Could now be the Technology changes or unit armor/shield edits. -

Worse- It's not in the shields or unit's recruitment- or armor or technology.

-Means it could be in multiple things.

Not ******* impressed tbh. So far removed 70% of the mod and it's finaly working.

..il have to re-add the other parts now "each one at a time" part separately to find whats broken and whats not - then write it down and -start from scratch -_-

typical-

-> Expect it to take a good hour to find the ones at fault- and 2 houres to fix.

It's all good- I want to get back to my campaign lol -Cant untill this is fixed now =)

Good news- It seems to be about 20% of the mod- nerly reduced it down to 2-3 offending parts.

[Update] Seems to be just one thing.

"Melee weapon" -> now that I know its not most of the mod and the last blody thing I expected it to be,you can cut that time down, "right down" to 30 mins or less now =)

"To put it in context" This effects weapon ranges, stats and bonuses like damage v cavalry/infantry- and their individual dps.

""It's very unusual that this would cause this problem"" -Never seen this before, even when once they added more weapons to atilla after relese it would not crash the game

"I can easily say this is probably directly linked to the incoming blood mod" and it's new animations. -> "Good news" it more than certainly means battles will be more detailed as they pre-load the changes - "The dlc just "Unlocks" the code- but the code is uploaded before the dlc.

[FIXED] -Adding some other changes I've made over time too along with the update 07

[If money becomes far too easy, I will reduce the buff- but I made it so you should be able to support a semi-elite army with 1 City.

Vanilla was a little short given the increased recruitment capacity.

-Farming is now profitable.
-Money changes and farming.
-Gain farm now boosts farming massively-
-City farming now covers up to a small regional city food costs, to compensate a imperial city food costs are doubled.

-Cities now provide a stable net income. "You should be able to support 1 medium army" with 1 city.A elite army will cost around 3-2 cities with a focus. Overall money becomes less of a issue,

Tweeked, let me know if your finding yourself overflowing with cash - I wasnt and had 2 armies. 1 city and 1 jade trader. "Most buildings maxed near- and a regional city"

-Also fixed/ changed the repeat events granting items and reduced by half the rate. -In the future i will lower the value of items alot to balence out the spawn rate.

I was sick myself of not having armor or weapons for my generals that made them look actually respectable, however they could be abused to bring income in for the player at a unrealistic amount. -Weather people want that or not- I dont know - "Let me know in the comments.

-Next update will be to unit sizes, Planning on increasing general unit sises as I find cavalry very underwhelming late game and currently they struggle to take archer units out as fast as they would. -Give or take 10 horses. I think would fix that.
