I finished a pack with 2 new units, special for the Balkans:

Bulgarian cavalry and Byzantine spearmen

It is fully compatible with 1.05 patch

Numbers of units per squad are increased and also armour is taken into account. So Normans have defence which reflects their large shield and chainmail, the same with all other units.

Have fun with it, I hope you'll like it

download (http://www.badongo.com/file/2152618)

Installation
To install the mod you need to have programm called PakMan(downloadable in http://forum.sunflowers.de/showthread.php?t=3255)
before you install the mod,make backups of defs.pak,europe.pak and texts.pak!!(I recomend to create "Knights of Honor\backup" folder and move them there

Use PakMan (http://forum.sunflowers.de/showthread.php?t=3255):
1) make backup of the files: Knights of Honor/packs/defs.pak, europe.pak and texts.pak
2) run PakMan
3) open defs.pak
4a) right-click on any file in defs.pak
4b) follow: extract all files - to original directories (look at PakMan.jpg in the pack how to do it exactly)
5) do the same (step 4a and 4b) with europe.pak and texts.pak (and then close PakMan, you won't need it)
6) look that you have now new folders in your KoH directory (there shuold be following: defs, images, maps, movies, packs, system, Texts
7) decomprime HR mod
8) copy the files from Bulgarian pack mod to your KoH directory - files from BP/defs should replace files in your Knights of Honor/defs etc.
9) check if the files are copied in right places
10) check if there is new folder in your KoH directory (Knights of Honor/images) which were not there before you installed the mod (so now there should be following folders: defs, images, maps, movies, packs, system, Texts)
check also Installation1jpg and instalation-defs-quests.jpg if your mod is installed right - your folders should include same folders/files as are on the pics
11) run Knights of Honor and enjoy it

steps 3-5 are done in PakMan

Got the same problem.You must use pak man,open with it defs.pak,europe.pak,texts.pak in koh dir/packs/defs(europe,text)...,right click on any file in these dirs(defs.pak,europe.pak,texts.pak)=>extract all files to original directories.
You shoulf have these new dirs in your KOH dir:defs,maps,texts
After that you just need to copy/paste the files from the pack you downloaded in koh dir,replacing the old ones!

However i bet it won`t work yesterday i tried it between 10-15 times,but i couldn`t do it.I guess there is something wrong with the pack,probably a spelling mistake in some of the files....

ps:it wasn`t a stupid question :)

there was small bug which worked for me because I didn't uninstall everything else while testing the pack. Now everything is fine :go:

Sorry for that problem

The download link is fixed

Actualy By making this patch I realized I should weaken 2 units. I found that 2 HolyRome's new units (Bulgarian cavalry/Bulgars and especialy Turkic tarkans) are too overpowered.

But I'm glad you like the pack :go:

May I know how do I add it into the Holy Rome mod? If it's possible.

Both these units are in the 1.7 version and will be also in 1.8 version which is now being tested and balanced

if you want, I can send you actual version I could call "1.8 beta" and you can use it.
It has no bugs (I haven't found any yet) and the final version will perhaps difer mostly in minor tweaks that are matter of balance

Ok, I will wait for the final release of Holy Rome 1.8.

One question, do I need to patch my game to play 1.8 when it is released?

yes. 1.8 will be made to fit 1.05 patch
