are there plans to include them?? i know this mod is a work in progress, you guys are still just in early era campaign, and you can't include every single political entity because this is M2TW not EU4. but i hope those two factions will be in the future. lithuania needs its mortal enemy, and the HRE needs its angry little brother. the middle east needs more conflict
edit: wow! this talk about 2 missing factions made me read more about the teutonic order, and i find out they still exist today. imagine that. they were a brief but powerful medieval faction that held their own lands despite not being a country. part of why i love SSHIP and M2TW so much is because i learn so much history in a fun way. this is why i hope for every major faction to be included

Does anybody know if the 500 unit limit apply to all campaigns or it's for each separately? I feel like it would allow to focus development if we made the early era campaign cover until 1300 only on paper, and have the late era one start at that date rather than 1390? for instance all Kostic units cover 12th and 13th centuries already (And it took many years); you could use the armor upgrades to cover the entire period without having to add extra units (like mailed knights -> Feudal knights in one), there's also the mongols as late game challenge; the Mongol invasion of Europe ended in 1291, therefore you can have Ottomans and Timurids as late game challenge for the later date. Another thing that characterizes the first period are the crusades; by 1291 Acre fell, and coincidentally around that date the reconquista in Spain also entered a stalemate that dragged for 200 years.
If that were possible then IMO it would be easy to make the rosters much more neat and organized (which I'm willing to attempt btw).
I understand that there are people who play the game for like 600 turns, but 1132 to the end of the middle ages (and way beyond, if you go by current rosters which have pike and shot stuff) is really large timespan to cover: 720 turns, with a start and end around 1300 you'd get a campaign of 300 and 388 turns respectively.
And sorry, just realized I missed the right thread, meant to post it in general discussion.
Thanks for the response. I know they are quite fantastical but found SHIPP's versions of them were more stable than the originals.
I have a unrelated question however. I noticed Russians look very similar to your typical idea of medieval Byzantines (particularly middle / late). To what extend was this Slavic nations copying Byzantium with the adoption of Orthodoxy and similar Viking influence? Was this done to be practical as they were an Eastern people or an aspiration to appear more Roman?
how to change faction flags in the menu ?
I think I have seen it in one of "ui" subfolders. There is place for .tga files such as building icons, description pictures, general user interface and also flags. Just open different files in gimp or photoshop you will find them easily.
EDIT: You can find files in data/ui/faction_symbols

How did I get backstabbed by my ally when I was Trustworthy?
It's a "Total War"
Even an ally may be tempted to attack if our garrisons are weak ! @Macaras is responsible for this part of the game. Maybe he will make improvements to this aspect ?
Doesn't that completely defeat the purpose of trusted ally?
I ended turn. My King died, -5000 florins. The same in-between turn, my new king died, another -5000 florins. No battles, just 2 natural deaths. -10,0000 florins for ONE turn. Mercenaries demand payment, etc. etc. etc. campaign goes up in flames.
Why the heck was the crown given to someone who was already dead, and why did I have to pay for a dead man's coronation?

I actually did it on purpose 😉 in the first versions the trusted ally would never attack, but I think it gave too much security to the player and made it too easy and predictable , just became ally, and with good reputation you can choose one enemy, eliminate, than another etc while being perfectly secure with other factions. So the trusted ally can attack you especially if some conditions are fulfilled - as Kostic- says low garrisons may be too tempting if the other has no enemies.
Do you guys have a community discord at all? Does SS have one?

Yes thanks. Many such fixes will be fixed in the next release. This has already been corrected in my working version.
Hey I've been really enjoying SSHIP.98 with only one minor issue. Warhorns seem to be missing or not fully implemented in battles? Here's some more info: https://imgur.com/a/Vu9P3gp
Can someone tell me how I can reactivate projectile trails? It's practically impossible to see arrows and such when zoomed out just a bit, and I'd rather like to be able to see what is shooting at what.
