Great, Rhayno and all of you DBM team, thank you very much for your work.

1) When do you estimate for it to be ready? I ask only, because i don't want to start a new campaign if the patch comes shortly. As a fan, of course i do not want to ask any pressure for the patch to come sooner.

2) Do you plan some units to become a bit more expensive? I am playing the Seleucids and at turn 20, i have 120.000 denarii, so i could build too many, for instance, Argyraspides (they cost only around 650) and it just does not feel quite right.

[kahnage]

Will this fix the problem of AI nations having trouble keeping hold of their cities?

@Stath

I think units are purposefully cheap so that the AI becomes more of a challenge (aka lots of stacks). If anything, to force the AI to build/train the better units, the lower tier troops should be slightly more expensive than the higher tier troops (although not really accurate, it would make sure the AI recruits elite troops instead of dozens of stacks of levy troops....)

[k/t]

You should use recruit_priority_offsets for that.

Great news!

They are working on it

[Seraph07]

I've said it a thousand times, Mod creators are why Total War games are still around. Maybe y'all could lend a hand to CA to get Rome II in shape, as it stands this mod stands head and shoulders above it.

[Furin]

Great news, the mod is already very very good in version 1.0 and I am looking forward to you patches and improvements. Maybe you could please try find a different way to trigger the disaster buildings, as of now I get the popup message every single turn just by going through my list scrolls and checking my settlements. For example if some city has higher population than x or bank account is higher than y plus a random chance....

[rocoo]

Yea i cant wait

[naq]

GREAT! Please keep improving.

Macedonian and Ptolemaic can recruit the fourth level of phalanx, the agema. only one unit can be recruited.

So how can we retrain it?

[TiFlo]

Awesome news. Thank you for improving an already great mod!

[hyretic]

Yeah, great thing!
This great, my interface is in the patch.

[WarlordZ]

This looks great! keep up the great work! I have some submods installed though, will this interfere with them?

[xiaopaime]

It's a gtreat mod! I like it!

[alexej]

can`t wait to play this, keep up your great work!

[Sar1n]

This looks great! keep up the great work! I have some submods installed though, will this interfere with them?

Depends on submods, most likely it will overwrite them.

[Reno Melitensis]

I was hoping for a little more units for the Romans, Allies like the Maruccini, Umbri Sabini and others, all equipped with Italian style weapons and armor.

Cheers

[Pode]

Didn't see it mentioned in the patch notes, are you planning to rewrite the monitors to consolidate them into one monitor block to improve script processing time? I recall someone here posted sample code containing two settlements that would check all settlements in the list for owning culture and rename them using just one monitor block

[Ninjaheman]

How does this mod stack up against RSII?

[Stath's]

^It is fantastic.

Maybe, you have to expand your team even further and find a guy who will be responsible for answering the TWC members' questions. I understand that you are mainly at the MTW:Italia site. Do you have a place there where english speakers can communicate and have their questions answered by the team? Could you post a link?

Thanks again
