[The Blade That Was Broken]

I would like to know if this mod is dead and if its not, why not? Ill explain why I'm asking....This mod has been described as a byproduct of a Chinese mod called Han Zhi Shang and that the two teams were in collaboration and a lot of the work was being borrowed from Han Zhi Shang Black Studios team. Now that Han Zhi Shang is coming out with English patches is that a hint this mod is dead because why would you need two of the same mod in English?

This mod is not the byproduct of Han Zhi Shang, if you actually paid attention to the info sticky, and the text right underneath the forum title, which clearly states 'Based on the RTW mod "Three Kingdoms - The Fight For Supremacy' - a complete port to M2TW kingdoms with enchanced scripting" They just happen to be also porting their original mod over (and has some differences between ours and theirs)

Nice.Is the release near? I think only some balance of units and tweaked economy (no more dozens of full armies) should be done.

I reffered to the official release , this is still beta.

[Gigantus]

There will be one more patch that will combine all the previous patches plus whatever still cropped up.
After that we are going to concentrate on projects like balancing the economy (well, at least give it a try), building our own roster of units and balancing it, creating a huge script (that still doesn't slow down the game) - stuff like that. No fixed date on the release of that, obviously, this takes time.
It took me a couple of weeks to write the 16,000 lines script for 1648 - RotK has 1,600 so far The other guys are working flat out in their departments, so let's cross fingers and say that we'll have some awesome stuff ready before December.

Thanks for amazing work, keep it coming

[Gongsunzan]

For a beta its really enjoyable. Everything seems to work fine for the he bei factions. I get some crashes starting out playing on central plains. Havent tested ba shu ir anything. But if you guys gonna do alot if major changes there will be more bugs to work out so im not to worried bout crashes in this stage

What kind of thing have you in mind when you say "balancing the economy"?

[The Blade That Was Broken]

What kind of thing have you in mind when you say "balancing the economy"?

The money you get each turn is ridiculously high, which means this happens.

[Gongsunzan]

Oh u might wanna put a money cap on the smaller factions. One game i made gongsun du my vassal and the next turn i had almost 300k in money. Then i beat zhang yan and made him my vassal i was making so much money i couldnt spend it.

Might not be nessesary, I think the trade economy fix that Gigantus is trying out should fix that.

[Gongsunzan]

Hope so. Vassals give you half their money every turn. It should be half of what they make but its hard coded i think to be half of what they have.

[Gigantus]

There are about 4-5 approaches how to curtail income, we will try several combinations. The 'diminishing trade income' principle worked fairly well in 1648, but it needs some tweaking.

[Gongsunzan]

The player economy seems ok but its once you make a computer a vassal you get a ton of money.

[Gigantus]

Unfortunately I am not aware where vassal tribute is coded.

[Dumanthis]

Good to see more patches marching forward, magnificent work! One thing that I noticed that could use some checking is the unit battlemap banners: they don't flash white when the unit routs so it becomes a bit confusing when you are having a huge battle with numerous armies
