Stainless steel (Medieval 2: Total War)

Maybe this is due to a conflict with the Russifier? I have an English version, it works stably, although there are crashes. Mostly when looking at the faction descriptions at the start of a campaign.
I installed 2-disk Mediaval - http://torrents.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=91244
upgraded to Kingdoms - http://torrents.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=376907
then put Lands to Conquer to pamper ( http://torrents.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=861059), but it is not particularly necessary
And, finally, SS 6.1 - http://torrents.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=815525.

And put SS 6.0 before that?

In short, the Russian translation can be downloaded from this link:

right on the first page. Along the way, there is another cool dude who will translate everything, but from his translation I took only the file by units, since it is more complete than in the first translation.
After installing the translation, there will certainly be a jamb with sound for new units. Look for an explanation of how to fix it on the third page of that forum.
My answer is Armalite.
I have 5.1, as you already understood. I did not install any other modifications. I have not digested realisms since the days of RTV. All this realism is expressed in the fact that you can't hire any normal person. IMHO, dubious pleasure. Here, damn it, you rejoice at every new unit, and suddenly you put on realism and step on the throat of your own song.

The SS mod is good for many: this is a new faction in addition to the old ones, and new units. By the way, the units are not only from Kingdoms, there are also brand new ones. The generals have a lot of chips added.
But this is not even the main thing. The main thing is that the AI, it seems, began to behave rationally. Maybe it seems to me, I haven't played that much, but so far the impressions about the AI ​​mind as about its analogue from MTV1.
Finally, diplomacy has ceased to be decorative. In simple MTV2, I generally stopped paying attention to who I was in alliance with and with whom I was not. To the point, all the neighbors are still climbing on you like a zombie. At the same time, there are weaker neighbors with whom the AI ​​is at war, but it breaks the alliance and climbs to you. There seems to be no such stupidity in SS.
Of the jambs, I can note crashes when choosing a faction at the beginning of the game.
And, I have another strange jamb - there is no Aragon faction when choosing a battle, and I still don't know what units they have. Who played for Aragon, tell us, pliz, are they somehow different from their neighbors?

Are you talking about custom battles?
I have not played the mod, but the availability of a faction in custom battles is usually registered in the descr_sm_factions file (data folder) in the custom_battle_availability line. It is possible that there was not enough space for all the factions, so if Aragon is set yes, then set no to the other faction.

migor, thanks for the advice, looked what kind of Aragon it is. Nothing particularly original, in terms of aesthetics, they are far from Teutons, but also cool.

Paren_iz_Kieva, Everything in the archive is for this) 100% Read the description of SS6.1 and the order of installation on the torrent.

DViS in SS pisses me off that the computer is running out of control - cities are developing as planned, and armies are replenishing at the fastest possible speed. In the usual Medi and LtC fashion, this did not appear so clearly, but here it is just a shiz. on vh / vh Lithuanians drove in 6-7 packs having 2 cities (large town & minor cities) and 2 fortresses (Fortress & Castle) ... here I did not notice this, which is very insulting ...

But the SS chips still conquer. :)

ZY but about Total Realism you're in vain. there were quite good mercenaries there. the main thing is to know where to hire what. ;))) And here there are very nice units, though for the appropriate price)

Armalite, and I am thinking more and more often: maybe it’s worth making it four times more expensive in text files of all units? And it’s true, small states have several elite armies ... On the other hand, how then to fight on two fronts? But this is not quite a problem, you can always get rich, and besides, AI will also face a financial crisis.

Problems will begin if you forget to change the price for someone, and the AI ​​of these boobies will begin to rivet in batches))). And there are a lot of hemorrhoids.
And I myself remove the rebels, put the numbers there on 200 ... Because I'm not interested in them.

I have a soft-lab version of Medieval II: Total War KINGDOMS installed, it is already in Russian ... I put CC 6.0 ... then 6.1 ... when playing for Kievan Rus it will throw it out !!! 12 gig is a bit hard to wake up

In version 5.1 I had a problem with enemies and neighbors. Most of them have a "boundless treasury"! I took out everyone and everything from Scotland, they have a small town and three full stacks of troops, and the treasury still surpasses 75,000 rubles, if you look at the rating of the powers. And before that there was a fierce war, they obviously spent money. What is it? Has anyone come across? I play on increased difficulty, but this is unlikely to affect so much ...

Paren iz Kieva. Go to Petrovka and buy a dvd Stainless Steel with the game. It is rusified and does not throw it away for anyone.

in 99% of cases, there are still glitches due to the difference in the languages ​​of the game and the kingdoms fashion, which is put in half with grief. I did this - put the Russian original m2tw then in the registry changed the language to English and then installed the kingdoms mod after which the ss5.1 mods and ss6.1 on top and a couple more mods - changing the odds, animation of archers, burning corpses and all that: ) everything works fine :) all the fun is 17gig installation :)

Strange, I have one glitch - sometimes it throws out when choosing a nation. This is quite tolerable. Right now I'm using 6.1 + realism - well, just a bow to the creators. AI is smart (well, it is clearly not the same imbecile AI that is in pure MTV2), and this is the main thing. Now diplomats are not just for furniture, but alliances and international relations do mean something.

I still throw it out when you choose an early or late period%)
realism - are you talking about realRec?

Regarding crashes when choosing a faction. I also had this all because of the Russian translation, I do this: I
go to the game directory: " Medieval II - Total War roadtojerusalem data text", well, how did everyone understand I had such problems with the Road to Jerusalem mod , I select all the files and copy it somewhere, for example, to the C: drive, and throw files with the English translation in place of them. I launch the mod, choose a faction, start the campaign, save in English, exit the game. I paste the files with the Russian translation into the "text" folder back, well, now you can play the new campaign with the Russian translation.

I wrinkle everything in English :)

also - everything is English, but when choosing factions - it crashes on the 5-6th faction change. :) And also 100% crashes if you first select one era, and then try to go back and select another era. )))))
But the rest of the game is stable, only slightly heavier than the usual Medi. =) But even more interesting. ;)

And how does SS differ from others, for example, Ultimate AI or Road to Jerusalem, the same LTC? They weigh less and there is also a redesigned AI ...

the main difference ... well, I would include a new world map, new models on the strategic map and combat ... new units ... a lot of scripts for the characteristics of heroes ... undoubtedly AI ... well, the guys completely reworked the game ... hence the size ...

Clearly, it's just that even with a high-speed grid (a friend has 4.2 Mbit per second) it will swing for ~ 40 minutes and it's not worth it, although maybe I'm wrong ...
