Hotfix 1.2.12.1

• Fix Dutch starting location
• Rename Roman to Greek
• Reduce field cannon prefab size
• Update Artillery info
• Fix siege locations for Jerusalem, Amergou Castle, Jakabhegyi castle
• Eastern European Castles are changed to T1 Wooden and renamed "Forts"
• Updated wanderer skills and equipment sets
• Add missing Swedish module strings
• Fix siege cannon firing positions
• Updated sound effects for campaign map sieges
• Review Swedish, Italian and British Hussar Upgrades
• Increase Grenadier throwing skill
• Fix for incorrect Swedish town/village culture
• Fix incorrect equipment sets for children
• Fix for pirate equipment sets
• 4x new types of workshop and changes to basic production
  

This update IS SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE...but you will miss out on the fixes unless you start a new game.

Notes on the economy - this is my first attempt at starting to improve the economy. Not every town can produce every item, so my hope is trade will actually function, and the right kind of workshop in the right area can be profitable. No doubt things will need to be tweaked with subsequent releases.

Update Overview: Video

It gives me great pleasure to announce the release of EoE1700 1.2.12.

This is a major update to the mod, and constitutes an overhaul of almost all elements of the original game.

Key highlights include:

• Transition to the new map
• New armour and weapon assets
• All files rolled into a single mod package (no other dependencies)
• New sound effects
• New scenes for Towns, Castles, Villages, Hideouts, and Tournaments
• New Cultures and Troops
• Field Artillery (thanks to @Sandipan)
• Many, many more updates along the way...
  

This is easily the biggest update we have ever done for either mod, and represents many months worth of work to bring this to the community.

With this release we say goodbye to Lemmy's Europe Map, as well as the Napoleonic assets - the entire mod is now within a single 3.5gb package, and there are no dependencies other than Harmony.

-----------------------------------------

EoE1700 - 1.2.9.5 - The "Cannons & Pirates" update.

This update is about bringing both mods inline with the map update, and some major bug fixes. Hopefully the mod is much more stable now!

NOT SAVEGAME COMPATIBLE

Empires of Europe 1700 - Hotfix 1.2.8.62

• Removal of all possible vanilla items
• New gear now correctly shows up for sale in all town markets
• Napoleonic gear is all renamed to be generic (not culture specific)
• Fixes to several broken troop trees and gear
• Reduced size of Asset Pack by 2GB.
  

THIS IS NOT SAVEGAME COMPATIBLE!

Unfortunately you will need to start a new game to see all the changes reflected. This will be the case for most of the early updates.

You will also need to download the asset pack again to see the gear name changes. This should be the last asset update for a while.

-----------------------------------------

Empires of Europe 1700 - Hotfix 1.2.8.61

• Fix to missing items - there will now be new gear available to buy and loot, and the majority of vanilla items are removed.
• Fix to version numbers
  

Updates live on Steam and Nexus. You only need to update the Core Mod, not the Assets Mod.

This is Save Game compatible!

-----------------------------------------

First Release - 1.2.8.6 (compatible with 1.2.9)

This is the first release which provides a playable baseline on which to develop further.

There is a lot of work still to be done on items, equipment sets, additional lords, and map changes.

Sandipan is also working on getting the Artillery mod working for next release.
