I don't know if you're still working on this mod, but it looks like barbarian factions have access to the religious buildings of all other barbarian factions, and temples no longer give access to their respective special units. Is that working as intended?

Apologies, been some time since I have been here. If the mod is throwing a db error, try disabling other mods which should fix this. With regards to compatibility with other mods, I don't have much time to dedicate to working out the compatibility issues but am happy for anyone to build on this mod if they'd like.

@goosefraba do you think its possibel to make it compatible with Big mods like ressurectum or glory of rome?? this mod is really cool, but with other mods it gets DB error.

Is this still working? I got a db error

Cool mod. Does the A.I. take advantage of the new buildings? (I've not yet had a chance to try it out).

Military building improvements need work for barbarians. There's no reason to build the 4th and 5th tier of barracks or stables for many factions, no further unlocks or experience bonuses

id suggest you try to download the mod again. and see if that helps. dont use any other mods

Hey,
I have Problems with the mod. The game wont start if I enable the mod.

Error message is: Building DB failed to initialise.


Any suggestion what it might be?
Thanks in advance

Hi RamzikBay, yes the Onager is the generic Darcian image. I am short on time these days but if anyone wants to incorporate or use my changes feel free to.

Hello. Many thanks for the work done. I noticed one detail. Britannia onagers have the wrong picture.

@Goosefraba, please also fix Royal Barracks (level 5 building) recruitment for non-barb factions, units from Army Barracks (level 4 building) cannot be recruited from here.

Also, if there are any missing units or issues please let me know. I have been very short on time lately so have not paid much attention to this mod over the past few months. Thanks!

Hey Thorongil, not sure why you are receiving that visual bug, I have been unable to replicate. Could you send a screenshot? If anyone else4 has experienced this please let me know.

I've just downloaded this mod but newly added units for barbarian factions are displayed as "Peasants".
I tried changing Unit Colour Scheme, tried both Vibrant and Realistic multiple times but it stayed the same.
I don't have any other mod installed so I don't know what is causing this problem.
@Goosefraba do you have a solution for this?
Also, thank you in advance, looking forward to playing this mod :)

I've modified my resources to permit only in certain regions to have stone walls, for barbarians and non-barbarians cultures. This because many regions/villages were too small to have stone walls. I gave the possibility of huge and epic stone walls only to major cities around the world (i.e. Athens, Rome, Pergamon, etc.). This balance the game even more further

I would personally enjoy the change. I don't think the large amount of shrines in the build queue is really an issue when there is an easy scroll feature on the right side of the queue. I'd be willing to bet others feel similarly, but I can only speak for myself here.

One question/concern I have not regarding the shrines is: I think the city view citizen path-finding bug is so minor that it shouldn't be worried about too much, but one bug I would personally like to see fixed or maybe even just looked into is the barbarian plaza bug. Any chance that will get looked at? I realize that some things with this game are virtually impossible for modders to get around, so if you can't fix it then it is what it is. But I think it would be a really good fix, especially if it impacts the campaign battle maps.

Other than that bug, I think the mod is perfect! It balances the campaign gameplay out quite nicely regardless of the plaza bug. You should be proud of the work you've done here.

Rumm90, I had a look at sharing all temples as requested. Only issue is that initially the building list is populated with over a dozen buildable shrines. I am okay to implement this, but am mindful that some of my current subscribers may not like this change. If there are others who would like this feature, please comment so I can gauge if others would like or dislike this change. Temple units are barracks and stable recruitable so that is irrelevant.

I will have a look at that this week, sorry for the delay been very busy the past few weeks.

Yeah ideally all barbarian factions can build each others tmeples across all barbarian factions.

I actually have another version of this mod on my local which has a few factions from BI in the Imperial Campaign such as celts and saxons. This does, however, reduce mod compatibility considerably, so trying to make this as fleshed out as possible. Looking at emergent factions as well like the Romeo British, i.e if a Roman faction takes a settlement in Britain they could appear. Just a bit of fun and challenge / expansion to the vanilla game.

Thanks Ruum90, any suggestions are always welcome. I can share temples amongst barbarian factions, is that what you mean? Would then all barbarian factions be able to build all temples? Is the benefit of this not needing to demolish a temple once a settlement is taken?

wow amazing that you're implementing suggestions since you added recruitable generals mod feature to your mod. It would also be cool if barbarian factions could have access to all barbarian temples similar to the recruitable generals mod which allows roman/greek faction to share temples.

Yeah, I'm not sure either. I'm looking forward to more content!

Wow that is a weird bug haha, thankfully it doesn't affect gameplay in any way. Not sure how to fix those two small bugs, currently focusing on importing factions from BI and balancing into another mod i am looking at, expanding off this one. Maybe I can fix those issues at the same time, not sure as to the cause though.

Love the new update! The Large and Epic Stone Walls show up on the battle map now. The plaza bug is still there as of now, but I'm not really sure what can be done to fix that.

I did find a tiny bug that isn't immersion-breaking or game-breaking. While looking at the Epic Stone Wall in the Huge City of Londinium, I noticed that the path-finding of the people inside the city is sort of off. They basically find themselves one-by-one clunking themselves in the corners of the gateways. They can be seen walking in place. This might be an issue with the game itself, but I don't recall this happening in generic Roman huge cities in the vanilla game. Here are the screenshots:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2885058508

This bug is not a bug that I am personally worried about. I just wanted to let you know. I am more so interested to see if the plaza visual bug can be fixed.

Overall, amazing work!

Season's thanks for those pickups, you're a legend. I have added those missing _constructed files and added the walls as instructed, hopefully that fixes the issues. Before this my knowledge of Rome modding was adding stone walls to barbarian factions, so still working it all out. Experimenting with adding BI factions (such as Celts), into the Imperial Campaign, as a seperate mod.

Also, I did some digging. In order to get the large/epic stone walls to render on the battlemap you need to include the descr_walls.txt file in your mod. In that file add "barbarian" to the level 3 and level 4 section for the roman culture. By default, any culture that isn't specified is given the default roman level 2 walls (see line 1431 in the file for their explanation of that).

Sure, here's what I noticed in data/ui/barbarian/buildings:
/#barbarian_paved_roads_constructed.tga is missing
#barbarian_cesspit.tga should be renamed #barbarian_sewers.tga
#barbarian_sewers_constructed.tga is missing (included #barbarian_cesspit_constructed.tga is duplicate of #barbarian_baths_constructed.tga)

Yes I noticed this too when I updated this mod. Vanilla BI has some oddities like roman buildings in the settlement battle map and some buildings missing completely, and walls just being named 'wall'. Can you let me know where you saw the missing building portraits or share a screenshot? Thanks!

Actually I just compared in vanilla BI and there's buildings missing/roman buildings on the battlemap there too in the same way haha. So not your fault, but if you managed to fix it you'd be a legend!

Hey man, great work! I played around with it an noticed a couple things. Look like some of the building portraits are missing for the barbarian paved roads and cesspit. Also, in barbarian minor/large/huge cities some of the building slots are showing roman buildings. There's also some missing buildings, such as the foundry

No problem. Happy to help! I did get a chance to look again at the epic stone walls and I noticed they are different than the stone walls. Thanks for clearing all that up.

Hey MrCrypto. Thanks for helping with testing, appreciate the effort. What you mentioned is not actually a bug but is a part of the remake. All factions large and epic stone walls are only described as 'wall' on the battle map. With regards to the Plaza visual bug, I will need to look further into that one. Seems the pathing of units is correct, but the Plaza just sits on a tiny hill. Not game breaking by any means, but a little visual oddity.

By the way, I found a couple of bugs with the new wall update. I used the in-game cheats to make Londinium a Huge City with Epic Stone Walls just to see if the new update worked. The huge city with everything certainly appears to be different and bigger than the previous updates of this mod. The walls even appear to be shaped different with the entrances especially being different, however the wall's actual name remains "Wall" and is not an Epic Stone Wall. I also noticed the central part around the plaza is bugged to where the roads go into/under the plaza hill. This might be a problem with Londinium, but if I had to guess, it's a problem for every barbarian-owned settlement and not just Londinium. I think the mod 100% works currently, except for these two bugs that I found.

The only two bugs I see are shown here:

1 - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2884490269

2 - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2884490259

I think that's a good thought. I think that particular idea would work best as a separate mod from this mod and the Barbarian Invasion mod we discussed previously. Not sure if that's what you were already thinking. That way, this mod and the BI mod you were thinking of can truly be "Vanilla+" mods. These are just suggestions, but I enjoy your work here on Steam and look forward to seeing more content if/when you post it!

What could be really cool, is introducing barbarian invasion factions as emergent factions, which will emerge as the campaign progress. Would be a ton of work and ambitious but could be something really cool, essentially combining both games into one.

No problem! That would be awesome. I think making a mod similar to this for Barbarian Invasion is a great idea and I would 100% support it if/when it comes out.

Thanks MrCrypto. I am always open to suggestions to improve this mod. What started off as introducing some basic buildings from Barbarian Invasion has turned into much more than I ever expected.
I am considering doing a second mod, which builds on this but adds factions from Barbarian Invasion as well, where appropriate, such as Celts or Saxons, with their unique units but re-balanced of course.

Absolutely amazing! This mod is literally jam-packed with features that make the vanilla game the way it should have been! Great work!

- Generals / warlords now recruitable in Proconsul's Palace and Imperial Palace.
- Barbarian factions now receive large and epic stone walls.

I noticed the same thing, Ruum90. I think it would be awesome to have a version of this mod that includes recruitable generals! I think it would also be cool to see large and epic stone walls added to barbarian factions in this mod if possible.

Ruum90, A version of this mod can be created to include recruitable generals. Let me know if this is of interest.

great mod but clashes with recruitable generals :(

Another large update today. BI city buildings now display on the battle map! Another minor update today changes large / very large cities on the campaign map to reflect their BI models.
If you run into any issues, please let me know.

I actually originally created this for my own use, as I made a similar mod too for original Rome but never published it. I then thought why not publish it, so others can enjoy it too. I have since made some additional updates I hadn't previously done, such as level 4 shrines for barbs or moving units out of shrines into troop production buildings.
With regards to buildings on the battle map, that is an odd one. You do get buildings on the battle map, but they seem to have their highest associated model from vanilla, i am also experiencing this with vanilla BI though, a siege workshop, for example, will display as an archery range (but be referred to as a siege workshop in game). Walls are not an issue though, stone walls appear as they should on the battle map which is the most important to me, at least.

I made exactly same mod for myself long time ago. But these BI buildings never appeared on battle map and city-viewing. I am going to try your mode today and check if it works in your mode😉

Amazing update! It works with all of the mods in my workshop collection too!

Nice, this is deffo a great update for Barbarians, I always find these so underpowered especially late game, easy to breach settlements as well.

I can add highways no problem, thinking of giving them to all factions, makes the game more balanced and movement more fluid. I'll have a big update coming next week, now that I know there is interest in this mod so watch this space!

No problem! Those all seem like great ideas. I think you're on the right track. I'm not sure how it would be implemented, but it would also be cool to see highways become available to the barbarian factions in addition to the large/epic stone walls.

Just a suggestion. I'm not sure if adding highways to the barbarian factions is even possible in the game, but it would be pretty amazing.

Keep up the great work! This is hands down one of my favorite mods for any Total War game!
