Hello. Found another bug. I'm playing as Hilrborg. This kingdom is a vassal of Jorik. This liege has another vassal, Holdrness. So, in short, this Holdrness attacked me, even though he's a vassal of the same liege as me. Furthermore, I don't remember how it works in vanilla, but in this case, vassals have no ability to participate in politics. That is, vassals can neither enter into treaties nor declare war. They can only attack their liege's enemies, or the liege themselves if they want to break their vassalage. I checked, reloaded my save to this point, tried declaring war on Holdrness, and...nothing! There's no such option. So how did Holdrness declare war on me?! So, that's the bug. And it's a very serious bug, as it can simply break a campaign. With such a bug, the mod is essentially unplayable.

Warriordude, Well, you have to be careful with Viking raids. Too much and too often isn't good. For example, if you're playing some minor vassal and need to build up strength and develop over time, add Viking raids every 2-3 turns to the mix. It wouldn't be a game anymore. I think the raid situation is pretty normal right now. No more is needed.

I hope you add more random smaller invasions, would be cool to fight off raiders.

Yeah the expeditions are still something we will work on for sure. Regarding loot and occupy the effect actually isn't applied, i need to test and see what to fix. Thanks for your comments!

I think the Expedition degree was disabled in the original Shieldwall mod, that's why it isn't working.

its a really great mod just one thing - for the Sea Kings faction the expedition decree doesn't seem to do anything when I click to activate it ?

loot and occupy seems to have a worse effect on public order than just sacking it and then occupying it seperate

Nice job with adding basic decrees, expedition doesn't seem to do anything when I click to activate it

I have an older computer thats probably why.

c7eaver, I haven't seen any issues like this with the mod yet. Everything scrolls fine.

@warriordude they arent super fast but i wouldnt say its overly long either tbh.

The original Shieldwall mod I had very long turn times, haven't tried this mod in awhile, probably the UI screen?

thats odd. not heard that yet.

It‘s way smoother in Vanilla… I feel it’s loading cities / etc successively when scrolling - not too dramatic though

C7eaver, try the game vanilla and let us know if its still janky. i dont have issues personally

if you cant make it onto our discord to report bugs please feel free to do so here https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/3397195419/595162650440146772/

Depends, I've not had that issue whatsoever while playing, could be an issue with your game. Try the mod without any others

The campaign map is quite jerky when scrolling - is this the Game or your mod loading new calculations on the System?

Yeah noticed this as well now that you bring it up.

John Silver I've also noticed, will post a bug report

Hello. I've also noticed that enemy archers are almost always invisible in battle. They seem hidden, even in open terrain. It turns out that I can't see the enemy archers and can't shoot at them, but they can see and shoot at my archers. Is this a mod bug or is there an explanation? Maybe I'm missing something about some mod change regarding archers? But then, why can the enemy see my archers?
The screenshot I've attached highlights the area where the enemy archers are presumably stationed. In this particular case, I know the enemy has a single squad of archers. They become visible when they flee or die. The image shows that there are archers among the dead, but the squad itself is not visible.

Medium size is the one we recommend as it works best with the population system, you're free to use other sizes if you wish, it just won't work as intended.

Does shield wall continued work with a larger unit count or is it still medium?

c7eaver
1) Remove Shieldwall population update, this mod is it's continuation. That mod is outdated, dont use it at all.
2) There is a mod called Shields down while marching + ultimate animations, use that and replace the single versions you use
3) Put all the mods BELOW ours in the mod loader, probably works better

lasaGna, i suggest you ignore the advisor's initial dialogue, we have changed a lot of things, Circenn doesn't face any rebels in our mod.

Schtz. Wessel there are currently no plans to add more units, we feel like the rosters are historically sound. More units become useless fluff that don't add much to the game.

Are there any plans to add more units? Im curious since I've always liked big rosters
Also great mod! Im having a blast, keep up the good work

I am using some mods together with reforged as follows:
- SW REFORGED
- SW Variationn pack 3
- SW Population Update
- Shields down while machine
- ToB ultimate animations
- Boiling Soul beginne
- Unit Formation & Abilities (UFA) - SW overhaul compatible Version
- Blood Aftermath

QUESTIONS:
(1) How to understand whats a proper load Order?! Finding: some Order doesn’t Start the game….
(2) For UFA mod, do I need the SW version for Reforged?!
(3) any comments/experience on my set of mods?

Thanks for the update guys

Hi again sorry. This is the only mod i have active. Fired up a Circen play and i cant find the rebels im supposed to be fighting. Are there other required mods for shieldwall to work? thanks.

to be specific this is the wessex change specifically

Welsh vassal's removed and Cent & Suth Seaxe are now defensive allies instead of vassles.

Hello. havent played in years. Any suggestions of complimentary mods to enhance a Circen playthrough. Best of luck. Thrilling historical time period

Update Live
• Lowered the negative speed effect caused by fatigue
• Slightly increased archer fatigue
• Added Loose Formation to all skirmisher units
• Added accuracy penalties to the negative effect modifiers from fatigue
• Increased maximum unit width — units can now be stretched out more
• Custom Battles revamped: Introduced campaign units to Custom Battles, all major factions included in this first iteration, land battles only for now
• Added Loot and Occupy option for all factions when winning a siege
• Added basic decrees to all factions (first pass, more work to come)
• Removed home screen smoke (big deal!)
• Adjusted Wessex starting vassals

mod load order. make sure the name mod is above our mod in the order john

Seems odd, when i use the mod literally all factions have authentic names.

ShuriK , for example, I'm currently playing as the Hilrborg faction. This faction is unplayable in the vanilla game. This means the name mod doesn't apply to it; names for this faction will be in standard English. In short, the name mod only works for characters from factions that are playable in the vanilla game. There are ten of them: West Seaxe, Mierce, Circenn, Mide, Gwined, Strat Clut, East Engle, Northymbre, Dyflin, and Sudreyar. The rest are unplayable in the vanilla game.

Which factions do you mean? All the rebels and invading factions? Could you kindly make a list?

ShuriK, n3wo, the mod with names works. I tested it myself. I don't know how it will work in the future, but so far there haven't been any problems. The only exception is that the unlocked factions that were unplayable don't use this mod; those factions have regular names. Overall, I'd say this mod is compatible with Thrones Reforged.

Hi John, i personally use that mod in my free time and i can attest that it works flawlessly.

Hi John, we havent touched names so i dont see why it wouldnt be compatible. fair warning though we unlocked all factions for play so im not sure how the names will react like that. it should be fine.

im glad you are enjoying it

I hope this reforged mod won't be abandoned. "A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia" is a fantastic Total War game, unfairly maligned by many players and forgotten by the developers. Although, I think many of those who criticize the game simply couldn't handle its difficulty, as you can't spam endless troop stacks. Also, active diplomacy, both internal and external, is a big deal. In my opinion, many simply couldn't handle it. And with this mod, the game becomes even more awesome. Thank you, guys, for your work. I wish you patience and perseverance. And one more question: is this mod compatible with this one: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1749854085

Currently minor factions are not as fleshed out as the major ones. We still need to work on them, who knows what the future brings!

what a great mod ! it'd be really good for the minor factions to have custom units- Cornish spearman , Gael--norse warriors etc

We've discussed and for now I feel like personally it makes more sense for only skirmishers to have the loose formation. Melee units will use shield castle. This is still to be decided but thats the idea for now.

I've added loose formation to skirmishers in my current version. We will discuss whether it will go into the next update in a few days (probably will)

I am a tester, and I will let the devs give a more thorough answer however, formations for units is something I have reported on to them. But when it comes to archers, they already are kinda in a "loose" formation it seems. But still, the devs will be able to answer more thoroughly.

It seems like Reforge does not allow loose formation for Archers anymore… tried to enable it with UFA mod, but as soon as Reforged was enabled, loose formation button vanished… any idea?

Sounds really interesting. Thanks for the work and ill be really looking forward to the next update

Im making good progress on adding basic decree's to the minor factions now. we will likely release it in two parts. a simple set of decrees like the base game ones and then the second pass will see them become more custom per faction.

@Freeghost_with_Dutt Thats a great find.
