Eastern wind - The high middle ages in the east (CURRENT VERSION 2.1 RELEASED JUNE 25th 202)

[Horde]

Wow, ok we shall investigate. Many thanks for reporting it. The Guelphs, Ghibelines and the Papal armies all have the exact same light mounted crossbow unit ("LH_Xbow"). They do not have any mounted javelinmen.

Currently it is set-up for skirmish, Ardaeshir can probably answer your question in depth, but give him some time as he's very busy in real life this week.

Thanks!

About the troop numbers, I´m quite sure it´s a bug, look, there´s more effective shots that crossbowmen in the unit!

Thats a great mod! I have downloaded the last version and had great fun! So many thanks for the effort you have put into it.

I think theres a bug, when playing as one of the two italian factions against the other (i dont know how to write their names in english), i found that a unit of light crossbowmen or javelinmen on horses did a tremenduous amount of damage, like 70 casualties against knights. I dont know if It happens to other people too.

The cause of the bug is that the LH_Xbow have 1000 (instead of 100) in column AP (Crossbows) of the Squads.csv, therefore they are shooting at 10 times the correct rate!

Exactly, just found that out myself. Releasing 1.22 as a quick fix - available from the main download link in the first post.

Also, a question. How can i use the mod lists to design my own scenarios? I have this mod and the time warp, but the editor only shows me the units of the base Game. I dont know if its intended or im clumsy.

When you click on the Editor button, select CAMPAIGNS/EASTERNWIND, then just create your scenario in the normal way. See my scenario guides in the Stickies section of the FoG2 Ancients Scenario Design forum:

Hi! How do I load the mod into the game? Sorry for the noob question.

Hi! How do I load the mod into the game? Sorry for the noob question.

See image below. You need to click on the button in the middle, once you hover over it it will say "select another module". then from the panel on the right, you click on "Eastern Wind" and then below press the button called "launch".

[vicco]

Thank you!

Hi, I own the steam version of the game. Please, where should I install the mod? Can you please indicate where to install the files? Thank you.

Unpack into:

Documents -> My games -> FieldOfGloryMedieval -> CAMPAIGNS

That's at least where I have it, on windows.

Thanks for your answer.

Hello Everyone,

Short announcement: As the first DLC for FOG:M was released, we are now working on making our mod compatible with the DLC.

Please note that the DLC includes some of the same armies were made available through our mod: Italian and Sicilian Armies for instance. Because of that we will remove the Italian, Italo-Norman and North African armies from our mod (and just leave in the vanilla DLC armies), because we feel it would be wrong for us to undermine the developer in this fashion.

The one Sicilian armylist that will remain in the mod is the Sicilian Moslem states 1044 - 1086. The reconquista DLC doesn't have any equivalent to that, so we will keep ours in.

Stay tuned, we hope to release the "post-reconquista-DLC" version of our mod soon. We are also planning to look into revising the current Polish, Bulgarian and Serbian armies, as well as adding a Wendish army.

Many thanks, we most assuredly will.

Awesome work, guys! Everything looks great.

A couple comments/bugs/mistakes:

1.) In the future could you guys use Mediafire as your donwload site? That Sharemods site is tricky to navigate and tries very hard to get you to install sketchy softtware.

2.) There appears to be a bug with the Byzantine (Trebizond) 1205-1261 AD faction. If you choose them in Custom Battles the game will skip the force selection process and loads right into the battle with the units already chosen and placed on the map.

3.) Crusader 118-1154 AD are missing their description text. MISSING_IDS_ARMY_INTRO_M_CRUSADER

4.) Qara Khitan 1132-1238 AD are missing their description text MISSING_IDS_ARMY_INTRO_QARAKHITAN

5.) Wendish Slavic tribes 1000-1168 AD ("tribes" is in lower case) and missing their description text. MISSING_IDS_ARMY_INTRO_WENDS

Thanks again.

Hello Mord,

Thanks for helping us locate the bugs, much appreciated!


Let me address the points in the same numerical order.

1. Thanks for letting us know about sharemods. I just went to the DL and all I got was the direct download link with no prompts for any software/malware/adware installation:


However, I realize that doesn't mean this will be the case for everyone, admittedly I'm running an AdblockPlus under firefox, so I don't experience some of the ads and popups on various sites, I guess this might be the same for sharemods. I can add a second link for mediafire. Normally, we used to have more annoying popups from mediafire than from sharemods (such as world of tanks ads opening in a new window etc).

2. Ok, I found what was wrong with the Trebizond armylist and fixed it. For a quick bugfix, please download this armylist file and replace the one in your mod directory:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/ggqrqqf7 ... t.txt/file

3-5. We are aware of that, there are also a few units with missing descriptions as well. We do plan to have all of this sorted out, but these are the lowest priority for us at this time. Once we have all the armylists polished, we will go back and fill out all missing text strings.

[Mord]

Thanks for the fix.

The only time I've ever gotten pop ups on Mediafire is after I click the DL button but thanks, I see that you added a second link. It's always seemed more straight forward to me. Appreciate it.

Yeah, I am a dummy. I remember you guy's having mentioned the descriptions hadn't been filled in. I'd forgotten between the first release and the update.

We are a bit slow recently with the updates and unfortunately you should not expect much from us for the coming week. We both have it real busy in our professional lives and plan to spend this and next weekends away in the countryside without internet.

But we will have much more time from June 21st on. Expect an update somewhere in the week of 21-27 June.

That's fine by me. To be honest I didn't expect anything from you guys until another dlc was released so anything before that is excellent.

We working on the next update, we should be done either today by EOD, or early next week (we are out of the city for the weekend again). Upcoming features:

- New English armylists for the 2nd baron's war (Royalist and Rebel).
- Updated texture for late average defensive protected spearmen. We found the vanilla graphics too similar to those of late raw defensive protected spearmen. So the "average" guys will get a slightly darker, more brownish garbs. The change is subtle, but it should allow you to differentiate between the average and raw units at a glance.
- A small graphical fix for an issue with the banners, a graphical update for the "average.
- Implementing more SmickeyMcgee graphics (For Turcopoles and Knights).
