I just downloaded the 476 scenario, unzipped it in my Eu2 folder and modified my moddir shortcut so that it reads:

"C:\Spiele\Europa Universalis 2\eu2.exe" C:\spiele\Europa Universalis 2\476

however, as soon as i load the game, it claims that an excel file is missing :(:confused:

anyone has an idea what i did wrong? does the version in the user made scenarios forum have bugs? Does it only work with the standard directory? :confused:
 
Try "C:\Spiele\Europa Universalis 2\eu2.exe" 476
 
Wellll, further up the thread I've included some coats of arms for the British Isles nations. Some (Kent, Cornwall) already exist, others (East Anglia) can be pinched from elsewhere ('Tre Kronor' Swedish CoA is identical).

We could do with Mercia, Wessex, a shield for Northumbria, Gwynedd for starters.
 
I noticed you lacked some flags... this is what I have...
wessex.gif
kent.gif
cornwall.gif
northumberland.gif




All from this page (at my site)
 
Bugger me, that's excellent, Kaigon :cool:

So that's East Anglia, Kent, Mercia, Dyfnain, Wessex, Northumbria, indeed all the A-S sorted out. Huzzah.

EDIT: Only shield I can find even vaguely associated with Pengwern here:

The scenario seems to crash half way through loading. I have the latest beta patch but I also have various unlimited this, that and the other (EU2 unlimited Patch and that one for no max city populations) also so that might compromise stability. Other moddir scenarios like Vinland, Independent Europe, and AGC work though. The version I am using of the scenario is the current one. Earlier versions worked without a problem. I did think it was a problem with my entire installation but everything from the main scenarios, Napoleon's Ambition excepted, to the moddir ones work. Is there a particular patch or something of that sort that does not agree with 476? I will probably do a clean install - the scenario interests me and comparing it to Pax Romana that I am testing is interesting - but I would prefer if there were a simpler solution along the lines of getting rid of some patch or similar.

I don't know what it could be, maybe just bad luck downloading it? Someone else encountered this? Anyone have any idea? Hope you find out what it is. I may have screwed up something when preparing the .zip-file, though I don't think so.
 
I will clean install the whole game tomorrow or the day after to discover whether the installation of the entire game is the problem. I am getting the crash after downloading and overwriting the 476 directory repeatedly. If some scenarios like Napoleon's Ambition that worked before are no longer working - though every other scenario moddir or otherwise seems to work - there might be a problem with the game installation. I will report back and that should clarify the issue.
 
dont know how much you have done, but as you already posted at the top of this page in 476 China was going through the north and south dynasties period. in 476 China was divided between Northern Wei dynasty and Song dynasty in the south. Pingcheng was the capital of Northern Wei (should be in Hohhot province) and later moved to Luoyang. Northern Wei split into Eastern and Western Wei in 534, Eastern Wei was replaced by Northern Qi in 550, Western Wei was replaced by Northern Zhou in 570 and Northern Zhou conquered Northern Qi in 577. In the South, Song was replaced by Qi in 479, then replaced by Liang in 502, then Chan in 557, by this time the borders between north and south were pushed down to the Yangtse River. in 581 Sui replaced Northern Zhou in the north and conquered Chan in 589, thus unifying China. in 618 Tang replaces Sui as the dynasty in China and ruled China for 3 centuries.

just providing you with some basic info (which perhaps you already know). up to you how you use it in the game.
 
I've download the scenario, from its link (I've already forgot where:D ). But I would like to know if that version is the only one available, or if you have updated it recently.
Great team on this scenario!

P.S.: And why not implementing a "Celtic Christian" religion?
 
cathar knight, be patient, they are just taking their time, so that the scenario when completed will be the best mod available, the most perfect. or maybe Lofman and company just suffer from lack of help. it appear as though only him and snuggs are working on it, and i know from experience that a project can take a long time when only a couple people are working on it.

speaking of which, how far along is this scenario? I like what has been released so far, any idea of when everything might be done and released as a complete scenario? Lofman? snuggs?

Well, I'm still here :) I have loads of half-finished stuff on my HD. Only in the absence of progress elsewhere it slipped down my list.

Remember, I'm just doing the Isles. Anyone wants to weigh in with some other part of the world and I'm sure Lofman would be glad to have you.
 
I'm still here. Should I update the download with some new stuff (mainly the fact that I have the Avars in now, probably a little misplaced, but it will do for now)? I'm unfortunately also doing some other stuff such as studying, playing Age of Wonders and attempting to make a decent level 1 sprite.
 
The download has been updated. One thing maybe not too obvious is that I've reduced manpower values in Europe. So now the manpower for WRE is 16k and Visigoths 26k. ERE have 60k and is practically unaffected by the change. Haven't checked the rest. :)
