That means better party templates for AI lords (added in 5.0), and hardcore finance setting (vanilla VC bug fixed so it works as intended in 5.0) and hardcore leveling (this setting really helps preserve parity with AI lords). Here's why: In VC, if you want difficulty, you want better parity between player and AI lord army composition. IMPORTANT NOTE 2: As of 9.0, the player has the option to manage any settlement, which allows you to finance temples for conversion (though in opposite religion fiefs they might be destroyed by riots), or to finance the construction of buildings to help out other lords of your kingdom.ĭifficulty settings: For the best immersive challenge, I highly recommend “Average/Normal” campaign AI difficulty, “Hard” tactical AI, “hardcore” leveling and “hardcore” finance, for a balanced and challenging game.

If you want to restore vanilla VC 2x as fast as realistic speeds, download the alternate full install version. IMPORTANT NOTE: Travel speeds are now realistic in the main download based on:ġ) mounted travel times between London and York vs speeds achieved in the Tevis cup Ģ) sea travel speeds from Ribe to London vs historical guesses at longboat speeds ģ) historical records of roman army marching speeds (couldn't find anything closer in time) Always just install the latest version-all updates are full working releases, not patches. If you tweak VC yourself and want to preserve your own tweak choices (instead of using the included ones from the 2.0 changelog), use the module installation optional file, or use winmerge on the full install text documents. Backup your original files in case you want to remove the mod later.

Installation: If you have not modded VC yourself, you can just drop the text files from the full install archive into your VC directory and overwrite.
