Any tips or anything like that for the economy? I found the economy to be too hard and found myself often super broke barely getting by in terms of money. I really love this mod but I really cannot wrap my head around on how to do well in the economy

Depends of the faction, but imo the only hard one is Teutonic Order. You may try to improve your relations with the Pope and call crusade on Vilnius then snatch it.

Other than this, watch the unit upkeep as this has been raised.
And send merchants (their income is buffed) to far away resources for max moneyz.

Ohhh I see, I had no idea about the upkeep for some reason. Thanks a lot this info is really useful to know. Is there a huge threat to your faction being attacked in the beginning since you start off with low troops?

Edit: I tried out merchants and replaced some of my garrison units and my income is now a lot better. Leveling merchants is super good and things get pretty valuable even in Europe! Thanks a lot

Hi JLMP, thanks a lot for this mod !

Please what are the difficulty modifiers for campaing ? AI only gets a bonus in money ?

Hi,
From the mod side: AI gets more money + is slightly more aggressive towards the player.
From the vanilla code: AI probably gets more public order and higher success chances for agents, etc. but AFAIK no one has proven how this works.

Hello, I was playing with the mod, and suddenly, in the middle of a battle all the audio has disappeared
now everytime i launch it, it has no sound

Probably hit CTRL+M. Check settings, there's a silly option for "mute sound". Might be checked, if so, uncheck it.

Excellent mod! I unfortunately get the "unexpected error" crash occasionally during gameplay. Is there anything I can troubleshoot to try and fix this? Thanks!

The towers firing at you even when behind the walls is very obnoxious

Towers need to be manned to shoot, so take them and they will stop (by putting/marching your units nearby)
