Are there any plans for adding some unit graphics for the era based units? The Dominions 5 mod forum's vanilla sprite overhaul has some very nice looking Polybian/Marian units, and they could probably just be tweaked a bit for the 4th century units, just a bit of gold to the helmets for a ridge and a bit of rounding to the shields

Awesome mod, absolutely can't go back to vanilla after experiencing the Overhaul. Currently using the Total Overhaul mod not this one but I have a bug report specifically for Senator. If the Senator dies you can't recruit another one.

There's a bug thread there, you know. Oh well, spilled milk and all that.

I meant that the Megamod was what I was using. I mostly commented under this mod because I figured the other one was basically a mod collection and it made more sense to write here.

Could be. Seems unlikely, though. I've not had a Fey Mood - so to speak - in a couple months, so the likelihood of me testing something that's been reported once in a five month period in a reasonable amount of time is rather low at present.

I will say that using the main mod is probably the most sane option at this point, since I never took the effort to add proper AI pointers to any of the individual mods. Plus, the starting armies are slightly larger on average in the main mod than in each individual mod, which reduces the chance of AI suicide even further. Nobody's forcing you to use it, but it is more feature-complete and generally stable.

Hm, could be a clash with Static Faction Defense?

I mostly use it to prevent half the AI's from suiciding by turn 10.

Otherwise I just use your mega-mod.

Update:

General:
Updated Amazon recruitment. Yes, I know it's been 5 months. Sue me.

That ought not be the case. The summon strings on lines 357-362 are free of errors.

I did notice that I don't seem to get recruitment offers for some of the Amazon troops. I think I only get the Poison-spear ones, and the Slow ones (garnet, iirc.)

Is "Gathering Storm" just supposed to summon a lone Amazon Sorceress?

Well, we will see once I finish organizing the full pack tonight-ish.

Fair, I suppose it's just a matter of 'fuckery' indeed, thank you for looking into it though.

It's possible (but unlikely that Magistratus isn't fully implemented in the normal fashion, and therefore is eating up ritpow 57. It's unlikely because it's already been determined to use ritpow 2.

Interesting, yeah must be some other fuckery because it was a brand new game, and the only mods used were your collection.

I look forward to tweaks to the magistratus though, thanks for replying Commisar.

This mod doesn't touch ritpow 2 or the magistratus in any way (at present). Corrupted save or some other fuckery is at fault.

The new Governor, added via update, has lake troll rituals as a consequence of his ritual list I think (I can confirm he has the lake troll rituals, but not why.)

Not your fault of course, the governor unit got added to the senator by a game update abit back.

@Arvay5 I think the idea with the aux's are for when you are emperor and have more money than you know what to do with since they are mercs. I like them. Stupid units are my favorite

Fixed. Saves broken, obviously.

Huh. Not sure how that got through QA. Oh wait, I don't have any QA's. I'll check.

The elephant unit is spelled "elefantus" everywhere except the recruit list, where it's "elephantus," so they can't be hired regularly.

That's the point of them.

Those Auxilius guys are extremely overpriced, stupid and they have terrible stats to boot. Might be more worth if they weren't a complete waste of resources.

Updated to take advantage of new functions from 5.05.

I was just talking about Barbarians/Senators needing some improvements with my buddy the other day in our duo run to destroy the empire, glad to see I wasn't the only one that thought as much. Thank you for your efforts!

A reminder: Sometimes steam doesnt update mods like it should. If an update's documentation mentions a fix that doesn't occur for you, go to ...\steamapps\workshop\content\160643\2586614127, delete the c5m file, and restart steam. This usually forces an update.

Update:

Fixes:
Scaled nonearby99req back to a known working restriction. If what I've been hearing over the last week is true, nonearby7req is acting like nonearby99req. If not, people are just not counting correctly.

Okay, woke up to all this. I expect that this has something to do with why nonearby7req was causing some people to not be able to use certain rituals at all.

Question; how do you create the Capitol without having one in the first place for a God Emperor?

You just have to enter in the .cm5 file and disable the ritual "Create Capitol" writing "#" at the start of each sentence like the following:

# newritual "Create Capitol"
# ritpow 31 # Senator
# level 4
# free
# cost 0 250 # 100 gold and 50 iron
# cost 1 75
# apcost 5
# terr 9 # city
# alterloc 243 # capitol
# nonearby99req 243
# soundfx 57
# descr "The God Emperor decrees that the current city is to be the new Capitol of the Empire.
# Only available if no other # Capitol exists on this plane."

For some reason, the command "nonearby99req" is not working properly despite apearing in the mod manual perfectly explained. So it's not Commisar's fault.

Or just unsubscribe the mod till its fixed to play without it

Error too

Gives me an error on start up with this enabled.
"Error in mod [...] at line 1009 mod command 'nonearby99req' did nothing."

Upon trying to activate the mod I receive the following error which then crashes the game, I am running purely the base game with no other mods active.

Error in mod 'E:\Games\SteamLibrary\Steamapps\Workshop\Content\1606340\2586614127/ImperatorEtBarbarii.c5m' at line 1009
mod command 'nonearby99req' did nothing

Turns out it actually wasnt showing up because I fucked up the unit name itself.

Update:

Fixes:
Fixed several recruitment issues.
Renamed Devil Archers. The cat's out of the bag now.
Fixed a couple of typos.

Units:
Added gatherherbs to Shamans of the Eternal Sky. It's always the little things.

Good catches. I moved on pretty quickly since I have so much ahead of me, contentwise.

First Wave Lancer has -Scourge of God instead of + same for Devil Archer also monster is called Devil Archers so it doesn't show up in recruitment list, and Shaman of the Eternal Sky doesn't have the Scourge of God tag so it shows up to, Also you might to give it gatherherbs in case if all your sprite guides die.

2. I meant the DoaNE Capital tile, not the four-tile full Capitolum. IIRC that can still be used to Coronate for the Senator.

1.) Maybe at some point.
2.)I would have, save for the fact that capitols take up 4 tiles, each of them requiring a different tile, and I'd prefer to keep jank levels to a minimum.
3.) What can be done with boats right now is minimal bordering on nothing.

One more thing: Give the Senator a custom boat unit, the Galley. It should have a more normal speed compared to the slow ships of other factions as well as transporting 5 more legionaries in exchange for having a slightly higher Gold cost.

Also, give the Senator a ritual that allows him to designate a city (or, priceily, a mere town) as a new Capitolum if there isn't currently one, to allow the Senator to tier up in no-capital Ages.

For the Senator, add more units early on that get at least Tier 1 rituals to go along with the Barbarian shamans getting rituals to build stuff too, maybe called an 'Aedile' as they were a lower office that was in charge of public works and the like.

The personal villa is a hamlet, and yes, it's a one square restriction.

Seems to need to be the last mod in the mod list to work in multiplayer and I does not say I can't build a personal village next to a hamlet but I guess that is a restriction?

Will once everything is "done"

do u have a collection of all these awesome mods of yours

Alright, I got around to dealing with that. I kind of wish I had a way of providing a proper "shield break" mechanic for weapons, rather than there being "does this ignore shields or not".

Oh, right. Those exist.

I assume this is an oversight not a big deal, Princeps Solaris don't have the second javelin the other early troops do

Well, hopefully I didnt tune those summons up too much. Getting bitched at for a month or so while trying to get all the other classes done would be mildly annoying.
