De Re Militari and Calradia at War have now both been updated to 1.7.0, although after testing the original compatibility patch still worked I decided it was a good item to tidy it up. The vanilla units no longer show up in the encyclopaedia as they have been removed from all CaW parties, so it should not be able to acquire them. If you are usingFourberie (Roguery) mod however you can use my De Re Militari - Fourberie patch which will make the vanilla Bandit and Minor clans visible in the encyclopaedia. Don't forget that DRM is designed to be played with Realistic Battle Mod and I have a small patch for that also Calradia at War - Realistic Battle Mod Compatibility Patch. For those using RBM and Open Source Armory with CAW make sure CAW list below them in your load order to avoid crashes when crafting. Finally I have made a stand alone DRM edition for my Expanded Mercenaries that can be down loaded here.
My next objective is to give all of the CAW troops some civilian clothing.
depends on how many changes were made to the units in CAW in the 1.7.2 patch. I've had a report of it causing crashes within 1/2 a day of starting a new sandbox
Hi thanks for the mod. Does the mod also fixes the added projectiles in CaW like the fire arrows for Realistic Battle Overhaul? I remembered I did it myself some time ago or is it not neccessary anymore?
I didn’t change any of the load outs of the CAW units, just the states and occasionally the upgrades if it was to a vanilla unit (such as the slave units).
I do remember seeing fire arrows being assigned to some load out. That is the current issue with them?
Realistic Battle mod is changing the stats of any projectiles and calulates the damage based on velocity and weight, if i rememberd right. So any vanilla like projectils will be way off in balance, basically one shotting everything or does no damage at all. Basically the ranged gear in Calradia at War (CustomTroopGear.xml) needs to be balanced for RBM. Items that need to be balanced (or removed): cs_quick_crossbow, cs_largestack_bolt, cs_flaming_arrows, cs_explosive_arrows, cs_explosive_substance, cs_bombs, cs_slinger_stone.
Yes, but DRM depends on RBM. And the unbalanced items are also distributed to troops in your mod. for example cs_humar_archer using the flaming projectile.
If you have interest here are the weapons with fixed stats for RBO. But I have not tested it a lot. Especially with the bombs I have no idea how strong/weak they are.
here's a link to the beta of the CAW/RBM weapon patch. The one item I had a problem with was the cs_largestack_bolt as the original xml file doesn't contain a entry for thrust_damage so much xslt file has nothing to replace. The only current solution is to amend the CustomSpawns/ModuleData/CustomTroopGear.xml file and add thrust_damage="0" after thrust_speed="0"
I've also noticed some of the weapon parts are over powered, mainly the new two handed mace heads and the halberd head so changed those. Will hopefully upload today.
