1 TSK:
- Yellow axe fighters problem partially fixed - when all their set positions are used, they start to make a line under barracks.
- Too big radius of yellow soldiers - after their attack, they take almost all from their base (except some bowmen). They do the same when shooting their barracks above the mountain.

1 TSK:

Hmm... I guess they should be using the axe fighters for attacking.

- Too big radius of yellow soldiers - after their attack, they take almost all from their base (except some bowmen). They do the same when shooting their barracks above the mountain.

They didn't for me, but I guess you keep your soldiers higher up than I do. Well I'll decrease the radius then.

[kuba11100]

Hmm... I guess they should be using the axe fighters for attacking.

They attacked only two times - once at 1.50, once at 2.42 - the first one is really late, as they train soldiers at the start.

They didn't for me, but I guess you keep your soldiers higher up than I do. Well I'll decrease the radius then.

Bowmen at the top of the bridge, militias above them, above the bridge.

[Litude]

Oh, I always tend to keep my soldiers by the watchtowers.

German build added

[Fitz chevalerie]

hello !

just a question ....

can I (must I ?) download this release ?

there are some more lines in the lib files ...

[Litude]

@Fitz chevalerie:
I recommend that you finish translating the previous version of the game first and then consider updating it for the patch. Chances are that some lines in the patch will still be changed.

[Fitz chevalerie]

I do so , and contact you soon ...

I use my family as beta-tester

the greatest inconveniant is the sound , for the TSK intro , there was no problem , I have the original , but not for the TPR first mission

after some research (google) , I learned that the French version exists, published in 2005 but impossible to find at the moment ...
... possible that was a joke ...

[Litude]

I know that a French version of The Peasants Rebellion was made, but to my knowledge it was never released.

[Michailoff]

It's good project. General changes, such as music, the icon of iron mines, TPR buildings, or scout is OK. The missions, however, are another story - one surprised me miles, others just failed, however, is generally OK. Now I write specifically for each mission (I played for missions including 7 TSK):
Mission 1:
It's good. Three trials needed to ride out the initial attack, but for this third approach, I went well. Worse was to be the case later - an attack on the blue axemans in my implementation disaster - I was 9 militias. This prevented the execution of my old manoeuvre with the approach archers from behind - in addition to the rest of preserved super - all went to help. I had to find another way, what did it (took their cleverly using one axeman and attracting the towers and axe calmly broken). I accomplish it at the time about half an hour without the production of the army.
Mission 2:
Very good. For me - this is a difficult mission since the mission 4! The attack on the ferry completely fall - immediately come all the army. I had to use their old tactics, ai so I barely succeeded. Once you have anyone in the village was not the enemy (all went on the attack) I entered to the base and destroyed a critical structures. Mission finished in about 17 minutes without the production of the army, but it was not here so easy, as in patch SR2. Very good job.
Missin 3:
Here, my feelings are mixed - the mission was not impeded in any way. All the old, nothing has changed. Think over some petty change slightly obstacle to this mission .
Mission 4:
It's bad. This mission is far too easy, in my taktics nothing is not completely changed. Enemies army in the first and second base t?uk?em the same time, as before. For me - a simpler mission, the mission than 2 I thought that it will be harder than I was last here and please - such disappointment :/. For the first time your work is losing points with me, unfortunately, quite strongly :/. Mission finished in just over half an hour without the production of the army.
Mission 5:
Not good. Another mission, which is far too easy. Problems with axemans was not at all (the time until the invasion cavalry will pass and then they have broken with a minimum loss), Scouts attacks a castle I also did not supply them. Since the first invasion of purple cavalry and the baron at me calmly controlled the game and keep it running until the end. I defeated enemy forces in the initial army in half hour. Once again, the patch fails me. What's the worst - once again doing so in a way that really determined.
Mission 6:
Similarly, as in the case of Mission 3 - after all old. Why not add some new elements, which would hinder this mission? That is too easy.
Mission 7:
Finally, everything returns to its place - the initial attack caused considerable troubles for me - I was the smallest in the history of my adventures with KaM forces, but have broken with the help of buddy defence Walheim. It was, however, too little - not the enemy of my undermined that plan. I finished it in 52 minutes without the production of the army, but was close to forming the first by me in this campaign recruitment ...

In further missions due to time constraints have not yet played, but I can not looking forward to this mission, 8 and the next - I hope that they will not be so easy to lock me and finally to create a new army outside the mission 16 TNL (Yes - all missions in the campaign TSK, TPR and TNL (outside the mission said earlier campaign, 16, Dark Lord, which finished with the help of a very good tool, which are balistas) but once in a lifetime finished production without the army (even the poor rogue)).

English is my very weak side - I understand the written text only, without the aid of my brother, whether google translator hard put to me but one simple remark .

[Litude]

Mission 1

It's good. Three trials needed to ride out the initial attack, but for this third approach, I went well.

Wait? I never changed anything in how the initial attack worked and it took you three attempts to win it?

Worse was to be the case later - an attack on the blue axemans in my implementation disaster - I was 9 militias. This prevented the execution of my old manoeuvre with the approach archers from behind - in addition to the rest of preserved super - all went to help. I had to find another way, what did it (took their cleverly using one axeman and attracting the towers and axe calmly broken). I accomplish it at the time about half an hour without the production of the army.

Strange, I didn't do anything to make the first mission harder. Will need to do some looking into it.


Mission 2

Very good. For me - this is a difficult mission since the mission 4! The attack on the ferry completely fall - immediately come all the army. I had to use their old tactics, ai so I barely succeeded. Once you have anyone in the village was not the enemy (all went on the attack) I entered to the base and destroyed a critical structures. Mission finished in about 17 minutes without the production of the army, but it was not here so easy, as in patch SR2. Very good job.

Hmm... It was supposed to only make sure that the enemy would keep on attacking once they run out of resources, but I guess the code failed me.

Mission 3

Here, my feelings are mixed - the mission was not impeded in any way. All the old, nothing has changed. Think over some petty change slightly obstacle to this mission .

Don't think it needs any change. Only thing I could consider would be restoring the version that TPR originally used (with vagabonds, rogues etc.)

Mission 4

It's bad. This mission is far too easy, in my taktics nothing is not completely changed. Enemies army in the first and second base t?uk?em the same time, as before. For me - a simpler mission, the mission than 2 I thought that it will be harder than I was last here and please - such disappointment :/. For the first time your work is losing points with me, unfortunately, quite strongly :/. Mission finished in just over half an hour without the production of the army.

The patch is not supposed to make the missions directly harder. Just to fix errors in the missions...

Mission 5

Not good. Another mission, which is far too easy. Problems with axemans was not at all (the time until the invasion cavalry will pass and then they have broken with a minimum loss), Scouts attacks a castle I also did not supply them. Since the first invasion of purple cavalry and the baron at me calmly controlled the game and keep it running until the end. I defeated enemy forces in the initial army in half hour. Once again, the patch fails me. What's the worst - once again doing so in a way that really determined.

I need to really make the fact clear that I do not want to make the missions considerably harder. Whilst we who have played the game for many years now find the missions very easy, think about someone who's playing the game for the first time. Will be succeed in winning the missions if we make them considerably harder? I remember having problems winning the game back in the day.

Mission 6

Similarly, as in the case of Mission 3 - after all old. Why not add some new elements, which would hinder this mission? That is too easy.

It's quite fine as it is right now, in my opinion.

Mission 7

Finally, everything returns to its place - the initial attack caused considerable troubles for me - I was the smallest in the history of my adventures with KaM forces, but have broken with the help of buddy defence Walheim. It was, however, too little - not the enemy of my undermined that plan. I finished it in 52 minutes without the production of the army, but was close to forming the first by me in this campaign recruitment ...

Yeah I feared the initial attack would be a bit too hard like this. But during my testing I did manage to win it quite easily by positioning my troops correctly. The enemy never started shooting with his crossbowmen so it was pretty much the lance carriers that posed the additional challenge.

In further missions due to time constraints have not yet played, but I can not looking forward to this mission, 8 and the next - I hope that they will not be so easy to lock me and finally to create a new army outside the mission 16 TNL (Yes - all missions in the campaign TSK, TPR and TNL (outside the mission said earlier campaign, 16, Dark Lord, which finished with the help of a very good tool, which are balistas) but once in a lifetime finished production without the army (even the poor rogue)).

Well as said, it's not supposed to make the missions more challenging directly . Just to make sure that the enemy keeps on attacking until the end of the mission and such.

[kuba11100]

Don't think it needs any change. Only thing I could consider would be restoring the version that TPR originally used (with vagabonds, rogues etc.)

NO! Don't change it.

I'm thinking about differences between engines (1.32 and 1.58 ), because if I remember correctly, TSK missions in TPR engine are easier than TSK in TSK engine. I think I'll have to compare them, but have anybody did that before?

Michailoff, it's good to see you here. I know that some people don't know English very good, but try your best without using the translators (using translating the whole sentence - it makes really strange things). Try translating "nie ma tu za wiele" (there's not much) in google translator or "microsoft windows" in translate.pl

[Litude]

Yeah the TSK missions are easier than the ones in the original engine. I guess it's caused by changes in how the AI works, so the old scripts of TSK aren't 100% compatible with the scripting of TPR.

[kuba11100]

Tutorial (the one from another topic):
- one blue enemy melee group and one ranged group don't have defense position (about X 59 Y 95)
- stone (X 41 Y 15 and X 42 Y 14) cannot be collected above there. I haven't tested larger mountains.
