Is lok90 another avatar of Loki?

[Stratman]

Looks great but where is the link?
BTW I sent my e-mail by PM.
Or it`s because mod doesn't finished yet?

Thank you for your efforts anyway!

Sorry, my PM was full and your PM was on hold. I got it now.

The mod is not yet finished as the PBEM is ongoing and we keep doing modifcations.

The mod by itesel is the whole WSS main folder.

So you'd better start from a fresh install and delete the vanilla WSS folder.

I will send you the link later tonight with up to date version

Wow this looks great! Your Charlemagne mod for AJE is so good. I always thought it was a shame this game didn't get one or two final patches, but this mod looks to fix alot of the things those would of added.

Based on our current pace, we still have at least 4 months of PBEM to keep fixing/modding stuff.

Would I be able to get a link to this mod? I added you as a friend on the forum but I can't DM yet apparently because I haven't made enough posts to do so. However, I'm really interesting in checking this mod out since I love WSS

Give me a few days and I will try to provide a link. We are doing a major change on conscripts management and a few testing turns are required.

However, the mod still WIP as the PBEM is still ongoing ( Turn 18)

I am so incredibly excited for this mod! Let me know if you want any help with colonial units and events (René Duguay Trouin's capture of Rio de Janeiro could be very cool). I am a professional historian of the period.

[Syrius337]

Sound excellent! I will check it our when it comes out.
Can I ask a question though? Do you have any idea how I can change leader stats and abilities? I've made some changes to the WSS\GameData\Models, but when I start a new campaign the changes aren't in the game. No idea what I am doing wrong.

Hello

Any help is welcome. If you have a list of colonial units raised during this period, it will be nice.
Adding some events, like the Rio de Janeiro Capture, by options is possible too.

I was thinking of making the Anti-Swedish Alliance a bit more powerful in terms of resources - manpower and money, but now I'd rather wait for your release and check it out.

I just installed the mod and it looks great so far! The expanded naval/colonial areas add a new dimension to the War of the Spanish Succession as the first globalised conflict.

However, a big issue I'm having is that the armies are not showing up on the map. They exist, I can select them, but the icons are not visible on the campaign map. I also noticed that some of the tabs in the strategic atlas appear to be mislabeled (for example, the map and the objectives are in the wrong places). Would you like us to post bug reports and technical issues like these in this thread, or via PM?

I'm so happy to see a fan mod for this flawed gem -- keep up the good work!

Hello

Could you please post a screenshot of the campaign map with one stack selected and also one with the mismatched tabs ?
Are you playing in french ?

Could also post the mainlog (WSS_Mod/Logs) ?

As attachment are not allowed in this forum, you can post them in the AAR Thread.

The WSS AAR thread appears to be locked. Is there a way to unlock that forum?

[Bohémond]

You can post in the WSS Technical forum support forum.

Thanks Bohemond for a fantastic mod, it really seems to correct the deficiencies in the base game. It particularly infuriated me that I couldn't do a Trieste-Mantova supply/reinforcement run as the Grand Alliance before.

I'm playing through now and can report everything bug free as of now

There was a mini-bug where English militia units were invisible on map for 1 turn but that passed and now all units are visible

Thanks again for your fantastic work!

Also @Syrius337 - this mod does not include the Northern War only the Spanish Succession grand campaign so if you want to beef up the Poles and Russians (good idea IMO) you have to do it yourself

[Bohémond]

Thank you HootsMaguire !

Credits to my teammate Delcastel for sugesting, moding, testing...... and playing this mod
