Hm, line 52 in the entities script is actually a Longbow script and I'm not sure what could have caused this error. Can you reproduce this error? If not then it may have been an unhappy coincidence with some other script event. If you can, then... I don't know, I'd have to think again...

When the envoys entered my fort:
[string "Resources/Scripts/EnvoyDuties/PerformEnvoyD..."]:60: Forcing script to end: (tail call)@-1
Stack trace:
...Clash of the Ancients/Resources/Scripts/Entities.lua:52
[string "Resources/Scripts/EnvoyDuties/PerformEnvoyD..."]:60
[string "Resources/Scripts/EnvoyDuties/PerformEnvoyD..."]:1354

Thanks, now the speed is not reset to 1.

O.k. I made a small change now - does this still occur? (You might have to restart your game if its currently running so the change applies.) Actually I introduced a line of script in April to fix another issue you've experienced, so I deactivated this now. Hopefully we are not running in circles :-)

I'm transferring the bug here with speed. The diplomat, when not in the city (walking or moving in the ship), it looks like his event switches the speed to 1. I had this noticeable when I carried the diplomat on the ship.

O.k. I made some changes which should adress theses issues (see changenotes).

However, for the envoys who do not progress with their work, I'm not sure if this fixes it. If this happens again, can you please select the city and type into the console pprint(getselected():getattribute("activeenvoy")) ? The result should be 1 if there's an envoy, if it's 0 although there's an envoy, then something is wrong and the script will not process this city/envoys.

I will look into all of this in ~2 weeks when I'm back at my desk.

The speed became 1 after the script was broken.
After the next purchase message, the game crashed altogether.

In a game with its own rules, I like one interesting bug: sometimes when war is declared, envoys are not killed in an enemy city and continue to work) Merchants can buy wood, and diplomats can improve relations.

I rebooted the game, everything was fixed.

The same trouble happened to the spies - a fifth-level city, one merchant, four messengers are waiting for infiltration. Everyone is standing and working. I transfer one envoy to be a spy for infiltration, I start it up, it all hung up at the preparation stage (I checked it for an interval of up to five weeks)...

Something has gone wrong with the diplomatic envoys. You send one - he improves the relationship, you send the second, third and more - they hang in the mode "Setting up"...

Oh ha... fixed this now - thx!

I have adjusted the conditions and it should work now in such a case as yours (thx for the save game, btw)

After joining Ligures discovered Ligurian slaves with the tag: homeless

I set the condition like this:

elseif (ad_ped_fort:getfaction():gethostility(playerFaction) < -0.8) and (ad_ped_fort:getfaction():getattribute("ally") == 1) and (ad_ped_fort:getattribute("infiltration") ~= 1) then

elseif (ad_ped_fort:getfaction():gethostility(playerFaction) < -0.8) and (ad_ped_fort:getfaction():getattribute("ally") == 1) then

This condition does not allow you to switch to annex

Instead of trying to annex the union state, my envoys are hanging on

Capital infiltrated.

According to the script, envoys must have the status: influencing nobility

In fact, envoys are stuck on: negotiating support

Ha ha you're welcome!

I've been looking for something like this since... Gold?

You're the hero I needed. =D

Yes, you can! No need to kill your friends

What's this? I can finally have way to diplo-annex friendly powers that I feel bad about invading?

\o/

Thank you!

Excellent mod! The method is similar to Europa Universalis 4 when a diplomat tries to improve relations between another country.

Thanks for your effort and keep up the good work!

Cool ty buddy.

Maybe ask in the CW mod thread if the author SGZ has set up sth special for Carthage. The Gov mod unlocks level 3 markets with the plutocracy skill, maybe that's why. It could be due to another mod though.

Ive also noticed that the level at which i can upgrade markets for my faction is only lev II where i see the Carthage cities i have captured is lev III. Is this normal?

I do have the colonise skill but when i send colonists to any Carthage city it doesn't have the option to actually colonise them in that city

If you've got the colonization skill you should be able to colonize cities and switch their native faction to your own (after it is fully assimilated). The governance mod only makes the assimilation progress slower. But if you "colonist bomb" the city it should work anyway. The slower assimilation progress depends on the factions governance skills/reforms and yours - the more different they are, the slower assimilation progress. So that may explain why cartagian cities are tougher to colonize.

Ah ok...That sux that we cant use them in a city tho. Another Question on Governance i tried to settle colonists in my conquered Carthage cities but it doesnt give me the option like the other cities i have taken. Any thorts as to why?

Ah o.k. I see...! I think scouts in saboteur stance are not intended to be used in a city anyway, they are just more efficient in raiding resource buildings and can ambush and fight like a regular combat brigade (here's a link to the Wiki [hegemony.fandom.com]).

Oh buddy i just re read your note...it wasnt a envoy it was a scout as they do the sabo.

The Mods im using are - CW9.6.1 , Reworked (City) Upgrades , Trade skills , Fortress , Slave market extended, Governance, Resource Wintering Upgrade, Every Port a Shipyard, Active Diplomacy and Weaker raiders.

Hey buddy Im playing Ghana Kingdom and have tried to use the scout in Carthage and the Garamanitians. Only tried these two atm as ive conquered the others in nth east africa. Im kinda moving east. Ive worked out that instead of taking cities as a first step i trie and take out all the resource supplies and starve them before i try and take their cities. Im actually only starting to use the envoys and scouts to help this as i kinda discovered what they can do by accident lol. Im playing on the CW9 map.

Hey, I've just tried this on the Italy map using a roman envoy in spy stance to enter a Veii city. I had no crash. Can you give more info on this? On which map are you playing, which faction, which city do you try to enter, which mods do you have active etc.??

Hey buddy not sure if this is a issue with your mod or the other one but the moment i use a scout to enter a enemy city to perform sabotage the game crashes its happened not 5 times in a row following the exact same action so something is up with it.

Hi, I've answered your question at length on the forum. I hope it helps. If you still have issues then I'll be happy to look into it again.

The thing with envoy officer upgrade specifically is that they can only be made while the envoy is in a city by hovering the mouse over its portrait. Outside cities the envoys upgrade tab is locked.

Hello buddy i just wanted to mention that i use your mod and i like it however i keep getting upgrade or promotion prompts for them but when i click on the there is no open option to do any kind of upgrade. could you look at why this is the case. ty

Well, in between job and family there's always a bit of spare time to enjoy some modding :-) However, I've mostly just been fixing bugs and connecting a few loose ends - basically polishing.

Good to see you're still working on this- will take a look.

v1.8.0 is live now including a re-design of envoy officers and re-balance of envoy stances (details in the patch notes)

v1.7.4 - those who want to play together with the Hegemony Gold Stances, but didn't quite like the idea of fiddling with files as shown in the discussion thread, will be happy to know that Hegemony Gold Stances is now compatible and the needed compatibility file will be created automatically.

v1.7.0 is now live - among some work on performance improvement, the main thing you might notice is the status string added to envoy brigades. This should make it a bit more transparent if the envoy is actively doing something and what goal or task he's working on.
