[MOD] Empires : Table Top Mod

[Paul59]

Also, a question : I can see in your screenshot that your pontic army has the correct FOG2TT flags and not the vanilla ones ! How did you manage to get faction specific flags working with the Global TT Mod ? I only have them in the normal TT Mod, I only get vanilla flags for exported FOGE battles. It looks very nice !

I am afraid I can't tell you how I did it. It's an extremely naughty bit of modding that I don't want anyone else copying. I would be court martialled by Slitherine if it ever got out!

It's an extremely naughty bit of modding

sounds intriguing and kinky at the same time ( who said modding before pleasure? )

I don't understand where I messed things up

while you bite your time figuring how to make the mod even better i remind you the dublicate "mercenary hoplite" unit that from empire exports as "massive eastern archers" . their empire ID ( cost, maintenance etch ) shows that were mostly intented for "mercenary phallangites" or something?

any updates in progress, this is my favourite mod, i don't even play vanilla any more

[FrenchDude]

I’ll probably release the next update in January ! I have a lot of work and because of Christmas and New Years Eve, I spend most of my free time with my family/friends eating and drinking too much. But I didn’t forget the mod don’t worry !
I’m happy to know that you’re enjoying the mod !

Thanks Spinocus !

A quick question for people using the mod : Have you experienced any issues exporting FOGE battles to FOG2 and the battle results back to FOGE, using my mod, since the last FOG2 update (1.5.34) ?

[nikossaiz]

Everything seems to work as always, few battles , seleucids vs antigonus, seleucids vs marya.

Hey guys,

amazing mod.
short question: Compared to vanilla FOG2 (without RiseofAI mod) the turn-time for the AI is significantly longer. Especially at the start and end of the AI's turn the game is kind of frozen for half a minute or even longer, and unit movement in AI turn is kind of laggy, not as fluid as in vanilla.
Just want to know if this is normal (i can imagine that due to the massive AI overhaul there are more scripts the AI has to run trough, so it can be reasonable. But i did not find any information about this).

Regards!

Yes it is normal ! This is due to the Rise of AI mod. This problem is a bit alleviated in the next update of the Rise of AI mod, but I haven’t used it yet so I can’t tell how important the difference is

[gaius21]

is it possible to update your mod with riseofthe ai mod 3.1? the newer version seems to fix the lag/stuttering.

[Pico2014]

I copied the 3.1 files into the mods folder and it seems to work. Turns are smoother/faster and AI moves directly at the beginning, which should be a sign that RiseAI is working.
But i only tested one custom battle.

Hello, I've copied the folder into the Documents/My Games/../Scenarios folder, I can see the scenario in game, but when I start it it crashes. It's a Steam install. I've tried this with another mod that also has a scenario and same result. I'm not new to modding, and the instructions are very simple, so I don't think I am doing anything wrong? Is there a specific version of the game I have to be on, or do I need to copy the game outside of Steam? Thanks!!

[Pocus]

That's probably an issue with the mod being too old, the original post is from nearly one year ago and if it has scripts, it will need an update. Mods are great overall, I always play with some, but the curse is that they need to be kept updated.

[JackAlexanderTR]

Hi Pocus, thanks for the reply, after trying multiple mods I can say this is happening with all mods. Was there a recent update to the game that broke mods? I didn't see an option in Steam to go back to a different version of the game.

[azcore]

I've updated Paul's Global Table Top mod to utilize the latest Table Top (1.5.32b) and Rise Of AI (3.12) versions. I've also updated the Empires Table Top Mod to be compatible with the latest version of Empires.

I'm currently testing it, and everything appears to be functioning well so far. If anyone is interested, I can upload the files to Google Drive and share a link.

[Pico2014]

Would be great if you share the updated files.
Thank you!!

[nikossaiz]

I second that!!

[FrenchDude]

I haven't been playing Empires for a while and didn't update the mod because of a very busy life !

I can't tell when or if I'll be back to the mod one day to re-update it

If azcore or anyone else whishes to share an updated version of the mod, feel free to do so ! I'd be happy to see it alive again !

Pls upload the mod if it is working. The old files give me error messages that the text file is missing something. Since i dont know modding I cannot fix it myself. Thanks for the love for this game!!;)
