[disorder]

Haha, i guess that is a poor conscripts ghost who lost his head during a battle!

[Sigmar Heldenhamer]

oh so "sandwatch" is the spinning head i saw

[john duca]

Is the next patch near? I would want to know if in the next patch you will fix those crashes because of heights or something

[y2day]

John duca - I am pretty sure the heights map issue will be resolved with next patch. Not sure when it will be released but if I had to guess it would be in the next few days, most likely this weekend.

Also new sandwatch in next patch, I hope! I didn't like the head (lol) so Gig and I created something new.

[john duca]

Great! Thanks. Yup , the head was creepy.

[guanyu]

Are
the screens in campaign supossed to be cut off like that?

[Gigantus]

Please make a screenshot. Also tell us what your normal screen resolution is.

Is there a way you could script the ai in future to not put all their generals into one army. I hated destroying 3/4 of yuan clan generals in one battle as gongsun zan.

[Gigantus]

That is not possible unfortunately - it's basic hard code. The lack of regular units at the beginning may have to do with it.

Regarding the 'ghost head' cursor - it will be replaced with this spinning 'coin'

[Gongsunzan]

Also a minor suggestion could u have it so the generic general models have armor on instead of their civil clothes. I noticd this on cao clan that cao xiu and cao ang who have armor in portrait but in battle are very ill equiped. Just a visual aspect but i think makes more enjoyable to watch them fight. I guess for strategists this model makes sense but not for other clans.
And more on models, i think u need to set unique models for every faction so in the case of u bribing away a general he keeps his uniqe model. Probably alot of work thouygh.

overall amazing mod keep up good work

[Seether]

The battle models of (some) generals and captains is being changed in an upcoming patch.

As far as the unique strat_models, each faction can only have a maximum of 8 unique strat_models. Plus strat_models are assigned by trait levels for a specific faction. Let's take Taishi Ci for example. For him to have a unique strat_model, he must be assigned a trait with a specific level with a specific strat_model attached in the list for the Yangzhou faction. If you play as the Sun Clan and bribe Taishi Ci, for Taishi Ci to keep his strat_model his trait and specific trait level and strat model must be the same for the Sun Clan's list. Sound confusing? It is a bit, but in simpler terms the number of unique strat_models per faction is limited and the specific character, trait, level, and model must be identical and it is impossible for every character to retain their unique strat_models when changing factions. Some we can accommodate for, but for the most part a character will only have a unique strat_model for the faction they start the game with.

[Gigantus]

In RTW you could assign each character it's own strat as well as battle model when creating the character in descr_strat or via script. Unfortunately CA in it's wisdom decided to remove the strat model ability.

[Gongsunzan]

Ah ok didnt realize they changed that from rome. Is there an actual general suggestions thread stickyed somewhere? I seen script ideas but not a suggestion thread. I just dont want to cluter this thread with stuff like this.

[Gigantus]

If you have a suggestion that hasn't been mentioned yet, feel free to open a new thread.

[Sigmar Heldenhamer]

CA's Wisdom strikes again lol
