iv recently began playing MTW viking invasion again, and started on the VI campaign as the irish i have almost won, only needing 4 provinces in scotland region and then the viking place however i am very annoyed as i have just failed due to having no heirs :/ what id like to know is, is there...

I was just thinking, that the MTW campaign itself should be really pretty easy to simulate, shouldn't it? Even graphically. I mean all you have is a 2D map with 2D icons, and the gameplay consists of completely trivial calculations. You could also build the engine step by step, starting out with...

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 32bit. Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, 512 MB RAM, ATI Radeon 700 series card with the latest drivers. Eagerly reintalled MTW VI, updated it, installed the XL mod, and performed the button fix. Still crashing after selecting my faction in campaign mode. I can play...

Hey everyone, seeing this community so active is quite amazing for a game that old. So hopefully enough people around to help me out. I played through the plain MTW1 with several factions now and am looking for mods. To be specific, I am looking for mods that considerably change the campaign...

Hi guys! I know it is my first post, but i have one problem wich i cant fix.I realy hope you can help me. I didnt play Medieval Total War over one and half year, an today when i instal game and enter campaign mode, black screen apears for second and then game crash.I play this game before on same...

Just instaled MTW1 on windows7 and It wont work. As soon as I click on start campaign after selecting a factiion it just crashes to desk top. Could a patch solve this?

I recently found my old MTW CD's lying around, so decided to install them and play them, however, whenever I choose to start a campaign, the game begins to load, but then as soon as it finishes loading it immediately opens the Pause menu, when it does this the bottom 1/10th of the screen is taken...

Hey, I'm currently doing a placement for a big french video game website and was asked to write a big compilation of articles about the TW series. Most of the text editing is done, but I'm now in need of screenshots. Unfortunately, the company computers run on Windows 7, which means MTW won't...

Hello CA. If any of you guys are still around here, maybe you can answer my question: Would you release the source code for Medieval:Total War for us fans and modders? Or would it be possible for someone to buy it? MTW is a very old game (6 years old), you cannot get any more profit out...

Hey I just got the game used and it didn't have the booklet in the case and i can't run the campaign tutorial without the game crashing and i don't know how to assign generals/princes to provinces as governors can anybody help me? Also if anyone happens to know where I could find a pdf version of...

Playing as the Hungarians in vanilla MTW, I raised a unit of Royal Knights and lo and behold, its general is no other than The Impaler himself. 9 dread. Butcher. 4 command. Started a war just to have him lead an army into battle. Long story short i decimated an invading Aragonese army and...

I just reinstalled MTW after a while, and I've noticed that loading screens take 45seconds to 1 minute. Is it normally like that? Its really annoying .. maybe I'm spoiled by RTW.

I doubt anyone will know what to do about this... but it made me unhappy and I figured I'd post it especially as if I ever figure it out it will be good knowledge. The AI in my campaign does not attack, ever. I let a campaign auto run for 40 years and no borders changed. Difficulty is on...

Here I go again. As the title reveals, I want to hear your thoughts on in-game money. Why? Because there are so many different ways to engineer economic models and each model has its own perks and drawbacks. For example, reducing upkeep for royal units to 0 is a very simple model for...

Woah, started a campaign with the English on Expert, after modding the game to include more trading goods and such, but also larger starting treasuries. It's a huge mess now Europe! The French have been completely anihilated by HRE, and the Germans are expanding rapidly in all corners. However they...

Hi everyone, I just recently found this forum and I am glad to see people are still playing MTW. I have been playing it since the beginning, and after taking a break from it and playing civ 4, I am now ready to return to MTW. I tried RTW and didn't like it and have read enough about MTW2 that I...

Im not sure if I'm alone with this. I had a search through google and didn't find anything specific about the problem. When I load up the battle whether it be a quick battle, custom or through the campaign the loading finished and the screen flickers. The mouse is how can i say? staggered? like...

In rome total war is possible to play a special windowed mode adding postfix "-ne" to the target line in the shortcut to the game. This way is particuraly helpful to people with dual monitor, as you still will play full screen on one monitor and be able to switch to the other monitor very quickly....

hello im new to this forum so im sorry if this is placed in the wrong area? basicly, i can load up MTW fine, i can choose a campaign (viking invasion included), i can select difficulty, i can select the faction now, sometimes it will load fine and i can play the game, although it will...

Please excuse me for my bad English. I just finished my dose of MTW for today - it rather made me do it. Ok, so I started High, conquest, Hard diff with French. At the very begining I was pretty surprised to see a number of extremely good soon-to-be governors. There were at least 3 of them with 5...

Woah... :sweatdrop: I've been having exam for the past two weeks and with only a couple of days left, the stress got to huge levels so I wanted to relax myself by playing one of my favourite games, MTW. And I decided to do the campaigns. I started English 100 Years and Saladin. Agincourt got...

Right, any ideas how to manage this battle? I'm clueless. I get my backside handed badly every time I try to do it. And in M2TW it's five times as easier. I just can't seem to stave off all of the cavalry that's being thrown at me. :help:

http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/2672/medieval1.jpg Any idea? Looks really good.

I always had this fancy about the Swiss Pikemen and Swiss Armoured Pikemen, but I never got around to actually using them in battle! Are they really useful?

i've been playing MTW on the same computer for years and never really had any problems. a few moths ago, the game started crashing on a very regular basis( and it almost always happens on the battlefield). in the past, on the very rare occasions that the game would crash, it would minimize and i...

i had to reinstall MTW because the game started crashing a lot and now i can't get the Tyberius patch installed. i can remember having to change the file path to something else when i originally installed it, but i can't remember what i had to change it to. can anyone help with this? i've tried...

Will moderate the Main Hall.

I haven't been able to play VI in ages, because the last time I had to uninstall it, something went wrong and it can't be installed again. I've deleted every scrap of the game I can from the PC that I can find, but when i put the disc in, the game insists it's still there and there is no option to...

Having recently read through the Golden Hoard thread I noticed that the old arguments for and against Halberdiers had come up. Personally I lover those guys. I completely replace spears with them. Yes they have low moral. You just have to make sure you build them only where you have some moral...

Been a long time since I played MTW, but I love it and installed it again. Installed fine, go into video settings and I can't get any higher than 640x480, my native res is 1920x1080 so it looks terrible. Is there some way I can force the res? I tried to patch it to 2.1 or something but I'm...
