Ah, ok then - apologies for the errant claim! Been a while since I played a game this far on vanilla. Thanks for clarifying.

Well, those "faction X asks for help to capture or defend city Y" objectives are just default base game sandbox events.
I can see how and why the edge case you describe would happen, but it should also happen in vanilla and other basic sandbox mods such as Classical World etc.
It's kind of a base game bug, rather than an Iberia mod bug.

Hi Fristi! First off, I love your mods, and greatly appreciate the help and knowledge that you offer other modders. Now for the report...

I'm playing the Iberia sandbox, and came upon a possible unintended edge-case regarding the objectives to help an AI faction capture/defend an AI city. I found that if I happen to capture the target city before the event timer completes, the objective is not cancelled. And when it completes, the city still suddenly changes to the aggressor faction (either from choosing to help the aggressor, or from it timing out and the aggressor being the default winner).
I've got a savegame from just before it happens, if you need that to take a look.

You can use the fisheries to create sea trade routes.

The little fort north of Paelontium seems to have its water access bugged out though. I'll fix that in the next version.

Is there no possibility of trading between the Paelontum-Lucus Asturum and Portus Blendum neighborhoods?

Ships sail, but it is impossible to create sea trade routes?

Ahhh, yes.
You'll want to go to iberia300bcdlc/resources/objectives/iberia300bcinv/spawnbarcidfamilymemberinvsandbox.lua and change line 12 from
if (getplayerfaction() ~= getfactionbyname("Barcids")) then return false end;
to
if (getplayerfaction() ~= getfactionbyname("Barcids") and getplayerfaction() ~= getfactionbyname("CarthageIberia")) then return false end;

I meant playing as Carthage in the sandbox is it possible to have hannibal and his brothers join the faction. Sort of how they spawn after taking a certain number of cities as the barcids in the invader scenario.

Oh and the general starting points and attributes are in Iberia300BCDLC/resources/scripts/iberiainvkingspreloadinit.lua

The Barcids should already spawn in sandbox. If you're not playing as Carthage yourself and you have at least 10 cities, and you haven't conquered all of their possible spawn points, then they should eventually spawn.

Any way to spawn the barcid family in to sandbox? Tried playing with some commands but no luck. Tried adjusting the script from the invader scenario as well but beyond me. I've also been trying to adjust the general starting points in the Invader scenario but can't seem to make it work. Wondering if you could point me in the right direction.
Love the mods, been away for a bit and came back to the punic campaigns. Amazing work.

Whatever you prefer.

I have a bug report to submit. Do you prefer it here or via PM?

'River port' tags are outside of my control. Game engine assigns them that way. Doesn't affect gameplay, so I don't care.

The impassable sea bits I've identified and fixed. The map editor accidentally copied some 'blocked' tags. It can be a bit temperamental like that when you don't pay attention. Will go live in Iberia 0.8. Which is far off.

In the north-east of Spain, at least three forts on the seashore have a tag - a river port.

In the Patiankorum area there is an impassable sea to the west. I started the game "New Home" for the Venets, tried to swim to the west and could not. Is that how it's meant to be?

I'll put it on my to-do list to double check all river names for overlap with bridges, thanks.

I've been playing as the Astures, and I've noticed that bridges frequently cover up the names of rivers. I appreciate how you've taken the time to label the rivers, so could you move the names where they're easier to see?

I think most of the cities in that region already serve as water-ports, and it's kind of dense with cities in that area, so I didn't feel the need to add extra water-port forts...

Been having a lot of fun in your map, well made and really encapsulate the feeling of the the vanilla game.

I only have one negative feedback, I couldn't find a single water-port Fort on the southern shore from the city of Mastia to Asta Regia. Is this by design?

Thank you for maintaining this mod, it's great to have extra content for this game.

Hey Fristi61 i love this mod and i just wanted to ask could you add more melee infantry like the Spanish heavy Scutarii and light and heavy Libyan swordsmen

If you can upload your old save somewhere I might be able to fix it...

gotcha, looks like il need to start a new game tho. No problem though! Your mods are amazing

Thanks for reporting, I found the cause for the error you got and fixed it. Please let me know if you run into more trouble.

Yes thats what i meant, sorry forgot the exact name!!!

Thanks for reporting. Not sure what you mean by '1 of the 3 brothers cities', did the ctd trigger when capturing Kastilo? I'll look into it in a bit.

Hey getting a CTD when taking over 1 of the 3 brothers cities in the second set of missions of the roman campaign . Error code here.

Maybe I'll have to try it out!... is there a way to give the AI players advanced recruiment options by default in every city? They are not start enough to strategically build enough barracks and stables to supply troops that are a threat!

New version out! The base version of the mod did not see any major additions, besides a redo of the Greek roster and some polishing on the map and unit graphics.
Full changelog here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/changelog/758525987

The main feature of the new version is in the campaign pack add-on, with a very detailed campaign of the Second Punic War.

Very good.

Another minor patch to fix another possible crash.

Minor patch out today to fix a possible crash and some minor outstanding issues. Changelog here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/changelog/758525987

I understand, stupid vanilla AI.... this game could rival Total War with the right amount of love!
BTW, I love your Campaign mod (and the invasion version a lot)... I cheat though by giving the AI more money than they know what to do with and a lot of recruits in surrounding cities

Thanks! This mod just uses the vanilla AI, so I can't really help with that. The same should occur in vanilla Hegemony III.

First of all, I love this mod! The only problem is the AI has a tendency to become stagnate, especially when it comes to growing their cities... I would like to think they are going the assimilation strategy, but I highly doubt it. Similar issue with the invasion expansion.

Game becomes pointless for the lack of AI scale with the player.

PS: I have about 400 hours on Hegemony 3 and played all the other Hegemony games

Ok guys, finally have a new version out.

The main new feature is the new scripted campaign, but it requires DLC so it has been moved to the add-on version of the mod here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=876564570
The no-DLC base version of the mod still has some new additions, such as a small map expansion in the northeast of the map and a lot of graphical polishing.

As always read the changelog here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/changelog/758525987

Thanks for the new up-date mate ..

I've accepted the steam friend invite. Feel free to message me and ask questions at any time, even if I'm not online I'll respond when I get back.

I was wondering if we could be steam friends so i can get some advice on the map i'm working on. The guides have been helpful but i could use a lot more. I am kind of a noob Thanks.

Mod received a small update today, mostly just for compatibility with the updated City and General names mod.

For compatibility with the much more sophisticated and accurate Historical City and General Names mod (which now extends over the Iberia mod), Iberia's original (much less accurate and complete) city renaming script (depending on which faction owns it) has been removed. People who want the feature should now subscribe to the Historical City and General Names mod.

Sorry, I've had a busy year so I wasn't able to update this mod in a while.
The sandbox and map are basically complete so the core of the mod is all there, but I'm still hoping to add some campaigns and graphical improvements.

is this mod considered complete? i have enjoyed playing it since it first came out, just curious lol

Thanks for the suggestions. I have poured quite a bit of research into the mod already, though there'll be some simplification on my part and attempts to reconcile the sometimes wildly contradicting sources of information.

I am yet to add campaigns, for which Appian and Polybius will probably be among my main sources indeed. Unit rosters aren't set in stone yet either.

However the cities on the map and the faction/faction group division are pretty much done at this point. It's a compromise between the various sources and game balance, so it won't be an exact match with any one academic model. I'm not likely to make many changes to that at this point.

That said if/when you play the mod and you have any academic questions or suggestions, feel free to let me know and I will try to explain why I chose to portray it the way I did, or if I feel like I really don't have a good explanation for it I might re-examine it.

Looks interesting, will download and play at some point. Just wanted to say that (if you're still working on this), Appian's Iberika is a great source for the Spanish factions an should probably be your main source. Other useful sources: Polybius' narrative of Spain in the Hannibalic war (mostly begins in bk2 or 3 if I remember correctly); Archaeological / linguistic evidence (esp from southern spain concerning Tartessos, and for the North east concerning the division between Non-Indoeuropean Iberian language and IE Celtic language (i.e. the Celtiberians))

This mod does not look half bad... ;-) Congratulations!

But Fristi I already have Hegemony related things to do this holy day season :O how could you!??!

Good stuff! Looking forward to sinking some time into this :D

You actually did it you legend!

0.4 is out, finally. It took longer than expected because some stuff came up. With 0.4, the map and sandbox scenario are now pretty much complete. Full changelog: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/changelog/758525987

good work

Okay, thanks for modding ..
