Roland Jones posted:Yep, a Persian portrait pack and a unit one. They're not in the DLC list on Steam yet for some reason, but the search function brings them up. If you like these kind of modifiers, play a defensive pagan faith and do combat with an enemy army in one of your provinces with the right faith. The best defensive pagans are Romuva by the way, because they get the best levy modifier (+20%). Their holy sites are also incredibly close together (three in the Kingdom of Lithuania alone).

Just found out that Lux Invicta have been made compatable.  I have also noted huge slow down in my game as well. I thought it was due to my 45K Standing Army though.

SeaTard posted:Also Darkrenown, I sometimes get a bug where the game ends up launching (in borderless windowed mode) entirely within the frame of the new launcher screen. So I have a miniature sized game in a tiny little window. Quitting and restarting will fix it when this happens, and it only happens sometimes. Mini window is weird, not heard of anyone else getting that. Message settings is indeed a per patch thing, otherwise things break if my message behavior changes. DStecks posted:Well there's a finite amount of development time! And some things (like making ironman playable) just aren't that high a priority. Funnier every time!

The only defensive pagans I've tried so far are the Slavs, and it's gone... Poorly. Anyone have advice for them? Rumda posted:Better than getting knocked on the head like in our MP game. That was the first and only time I've ever been made incapable in battle in this game. And hilariously enough I had Inspiring Leader then too, and proceeded to win battle after battle until I finally died (not in battle). Vandad is inspiring even when he has massive head trauma.

Use the "become king" ambition to subjugate the whole kingdom, and you will have the three holy sites needed to reform the faith. Once you have reformed, everything becomes much easier.

See, my problem with you is that you've always got an excuse. You can never just say "yeah, that's an issue, I'll talk to the team about it", it's always got to be some smug reply because god forbid that Paradox doesn't always make the 100% perfect decision every single time. What you don't realize is that saying "we didn't have enough time" to make braindead-simple fixes makes you look worse than if you'd just said "The issue never occurred to us", or "we haven't decided how we're going to deal with this yet", because while those would imply some (insignificant) mistake on Paradox's part, they're at least an acknowledgement that a bug is a problem, and give some reassurance that a fix may be coming, as opposed to "It's not really a problem and gently caress yourself for wanting it fixed".

It's not an ideal situation for sure but you're constantly overreacting . Having said that, paradox do something about excessive time spent saving in ironman please  Number 1 issue right there for me personally. Also there are a dozen examples of Darkrenown saying 'thanks for bringing this to our attention, send us a savefile so we can try to reproduce the issue' amongst other things. Very little 'this isn't a problem, gently caress off'.

Right, I forgot that anything related to multiplayer is URGENT AS gently caress and must be dealt with immediately, which is why precious development time was allocated to balancing the ruler designer.

It's pretty much your choice how to read what someone sounds like online. Anyway, 2/3rds of what you contribute to this thread is good stuff but then there's the 3rd like this where you just look like a fool. edit: Anyway, I'm winding up my current Norse Empire game as it's just holy warring with no one able to stop me at all and I was wondering what I'd be missing out on starting a new game as catholic but without sons of abraham. That expansion sort of passed me by. I guess I miss out on messing with the pope and money from Jews? Any of the new muslim changes tied to Sons of Abraham?

It's more like 50% good posts though the other 20% is more being certain in his error of mechanics. The only Muslim mechanics really in SoA are the schools one which give you tech points and one that gives extra piety and make the character never decedent.

I am not being sarcastic, one of the mucky things about this game is how nobody understands 100% of it, so misunderstandings of game mechanics can become distorted into things "everybody knows", and the last thing I want to do is contribute to that. That was the purpose of me writing the combat-system effortpost, to clear up exactly how the combat system works, because that's something that I feel I understand pretty much completely.

nutranurse posted:Welp, time to conquer the world as one Artorius of Cornwall. Again. I almost always start as him too except I always make him Angra Mainyu because the fire must be extinguished. Lux Invicta is a fun loving mod. My other favorite start is Neapolis, because they're Imperial Cultist. I just wish there was an Ancient Egyptian Km culture to go alongside the Ancient Egyptian religions. Doesn't feel right restoring worship of Aten and Re but being called Aarif or Abdul or something.

So far I been playing as that dude from Antioch and just before he died he went mad and became infirm. I arranged a feast and dancing event came on. As soon I pressed the button to confirm it he died. God Save the Mad King! Cause Of Death:Dancing too much! (I wish that was true he really died bedridden and infirm. But not before knocking up his second wife though!)Now I am playing as a homosexual brave/content and honorable 16 year old. (Lux Invicta really loving rules why didn't I play this before?)

Dstecks gamers.txt is not this thread. I'm losing my mind with the Hashimids. My starting Emir died in battle three months in - I restarted because that's not fair and I'm a big baby. Five months in, my starting Emir dies a natural death. Come on. Two months in, my starting Emir fucks himself to death. Nine months in, my starting Emir is wounded and dies on Hajj. Fifth time round, he lived long enough to become King of Arabia so possibly the curse is lifted.

Thats pretty common with all three of the Arabian dukes. If your starter doesnt die upon start, you can usually make it to two kingdoms in 10 years.

Could the beta address the thing where Raja makes the game run worse than when the PDM guys went insane for a while and totally hosed up their mod? Like can I have an option where I just make useless blob land disappear and have the old map where the game doesn't slow to a horrific crawl at 1000 ad if I start in old gods? I would appreciate that.

It's not something that didn't occur to us, and it's not something we need to decide how to deal with, it literally is an acknowledged minor problem that we do not have time to fix. I don't see how this is smug or dismissive, it is an honest and reasonable answer reflecting the realities of the situation. We have a bunch of possible UI improvements and minor bug fixes that are at the bottom of the priority list which are unlikely to be fixed until we either run out of higher priority issues or someone is working on the same area and fixes them incidentally. I'd love it if they could all be fixed as they affect me just as much as they do you, but it would be disingenuous of me to answer in any other way.
