The mod "We The People" version 4.0.2

[nightinggale]

First release in almost two years and it's big. In lack of a workshop, you need to get it yourself from GitHub release page[github.com].

The changelog is in the download link and it is gigantic to a level where you might call it a new game. One change I will point out here is multiplayer support. There have been postings here about out of sync issues and I have personally spent ages chasing down all sorts of obscure causes of OOS triggers. To my knowledge there are none left so it should be stable by now.

Finally after 2 years we did it again and published another major release. :)
Thanks to all team members and supporters.

This is definitely one of the best and biggest releases ever made. A "milestone" which every WTP player (and also any other player as well ) should test and have fun...

So, does this make automation a bit less awkward than in the last version? I really liked the economic aspects of this mod, but the gargantuan number of resources and professions made logistics very micro-managey.

Edit: oh Christ, it added MORE resources. Not sure this is really what the mod needed.

I suspect that April might have something to do with it.

Well, maybe simply give it a try and judge then. ;)

I am getting a "The map is missing terrain to produce critical goods" error message when launching a new game, but the game still allows me to play. Any way to fix this?

[gungadin22000]

Nevermind, deleting old mod folder and reinstalling new one fixed it.

[nightinggale]

We released 4.0.1 with some bugfixes.

As for the warning about terrains, it's one I added. It triggers if the map doesn't provide the resources, which are viewed as needed to provide a proper gameplay experience. The goal is precisely what happened: you noticed it, did something and then started a new game without the warning.

[gungadin22000]

Sweet Christ, that's a lot of stuff added. Any guides on build order and whatnot?

[Schmiddie]

This is still a beta version! You will already find most of the required explanations in the "colopedia"! More will be added over time and of course in the final version.

[gungadin22000]

I'd actually be interested in the rationale for adding SO, SO MANY new types of resources.

[gungadin22000]

I found a giant, smelly bug. If the barrack is full, you CANNOT unload new units from Europe from your ships. This includes goods - took me ages to work out why I couldn't unload my sheep from Europe to the city since the goods apparently count as a unit.

I don't think much has been tested. I couldn't load soldiers on a galleon, which was actually designed to carry extra troops to defend the ship from potential pirate boarders. It would be realistic to carry 6 treasure or 2 soldiers rather than 2 and 0. The size of a soldier unit is about 300 men. Galleons were known to carry more than 400. Carrying 2 units of cavalry or artillery would be a totally different proposition. In many ways a galleon is the equivalent of today's combat support ship.

Ships were changed. Galleons are for cargo only. Colopedia is full of new information and is helpful
