I decided with 3.0 to limit upgrading of towns to only villages player has built in game, I was concerned that being able to upgrade all villages could unbalance things and cause issues. So for now you can only upgrade villages you've built from scratch.

Can anyone help me find out how to use the magic system, ive been hunting for the roman ruins with the witch in them but havent found it despite lots of searching. am i going about this the wrong way?

Reply Good karma Bad karma+1 vote

Lady_Ashwood - - 382 comments

The roman ruins are located just outside the main northern border of Kingdom of Camelot. Also if you want more magic make sure magic is checked in mod options, it also helps if your pagan as Christians don't generally have the same access to witches which can be recruited from pagan sites. Also to cast spells yourself you need to develop a special hidden trait that requires a certain book read, a pagan belief and recruiting of the companion Katrin

Spoilers warning: So once you have 10 men talk to Rikk and a raiding party will spawn around you, defeat them and the looter will tell you about their ship which will spawn on the coast east of Durnovaria, defeat that and you will sail to Dorca's lair for the final battle.

Spoiler Alert!

So... I killed my fathers killer, I've killed Mab with white hilt (was that it for the questline? There's soo much packed in this mod I don't know if I'm done DONE or not...), are there other quests I should look for? (Also any hints on the romance companions and where to find them would be appreciated)

There is so much content in this mod, with a bit of polishing this is one of the greats, definitely top three of the story driven ones

For the hilt you have to first talk to the claimant to alt cult, for the hamper you just take a ship and go fishing off of ceredigon and the knife you talk to frank nobles that should be a good start

Love the mod, definitely one of the best I've played!

A few things off the top of my head:
- Crash when selecting Red Brothers in party menu
- Am not able to build a second castle
- Cannot have two children become companions at the same time, it will delete your first one and replace it with the second
- Sent a bastard on a diplomatic journey, disappeared from the game completely! Says he is trying to join party, but it's been 400+ days

But seriously, great work, really hope you continue improving this mod! :)

has a limit of 4 villages, wouldn't it be interesting to be able to link up to 3 villages for each city made? and one per castle.

thus the villages would be "conquered" when the city to which they were vassal was conquered.
not only to fill the map with cities, but to create only villages "without the need to evolve them".

This mod is fantastic in so many ways: The seasons, the hand made period castles and villages, the novel quests, the map. The only problem I have is the absolutely horrible performance. I have a super hot overclocked, tuned PC that can play other mods, VC with 600 - 1000 units with no problems, but this mod with a mere ~150 starts to lag. I've seen one or two other mods like this (in this and other games) and it could be inefficient scripts or graphics effects (too many particle fx, rays, fog, resource hog shaders, etc). I hate to say, I'm at the point where I am fighting larger battles now and it is hard to continue knowing these kind of battles are my fav, but it sucks to experience lag when i know this is totally unnecessary.

I absolutely adore this mod, but I am completely stuck on how to increase the population of a village, I got the village to highest prosperity possible, got them devoted to me and built every building in the village and it still tells me I need at least 300 people living in it. Is there any specific way to fill it up?

I just downloaded this mod and fell immediately in love with it! My one criticism (so far) is that my character is a militant pagan and it feels weird that my men lose morale for attacking christian priests. This could be easily fixed by making units follow different religions based on which towns you recruit from with units from christian towns being ok with attacking pagans and units from pagan towns being ok with attacking pagans. If that’s possible I know I’d really appreciate it. Again, I absolutely love this mod anyway so please don’t take this as hate :)

Can someone help me with the hamper quest, As I have talked to the villagers in two the village and nothing else happens, except them just going on and on about the same thing and I tried using my boat checking the coast, like they said nothing happens, I badly need this quest done as it's my second one left and I very much like to see the end of killing queen mab.

Hi this is months late, but all you need to do at this point in sail slightly off the coast and from the camp menu, just start fishing. (You don't actually need to talk to any fisherman)

Hi, funny you should ask. I am trying to complete the quest myself as I am writing this. How did you find the boar? I am not even at that point... When I find it, I will try to beat it and let you know. (I have been hunting from the camp menu but only finding regular boars)

Hi, at the first time, i tracked it near the south of a town, arround west of the hut in red color(i forget the name). Unfortunately, during the hunt my character died by the boars, 4 of them charged at me at the same time. lol, i could have finish that bloody boar and finished this desperate mission.

ok, I can confirm the boar quest is not through the camp menu "start hunting" option, you only get regular boars this way. I had the famous boar spawn after I camped and spent the night (regular camping) just a little to the south of Arth-Mor. In the morning, I saw the boar pop up as a "blue" target, not the usual white font of regular boars. Also, I was a vassal of Camelot, if this changes anything.

As for the holy grail quest, I myself had good relationship with the church, so that was easy. However, I remember there were other options in the dialogue but I did not try them. Sorry. Maybe I can try a different save and see what I get....
