IMPORTANT NOTE
if you downloaded the beta mod from here
http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/Mtw_Uploads/MTWbeta/
you NEED to get this file
STW_9_unit_prod.zip
from the same directory
it includes an adjustment to HEAVY CAV to allow them to be built in provinces without iron,
if you download the mod from 3D or MIZU/member server that unit prod file is already included
B.
far Below is the read me file included in the beta mod upload,
the upload is 18 files
BETA_STW_MOD_SPLIT_18 pieces.zip
BETA_STW_MOD_SPLIT_18 pieces.z01
TO
BETA_STW_MOD_SPLIT_18 pieces.z17
my isp is a bit glitchy at the moment, so i had to slit it into chunks.
download the lot, then use WINZIP to open the zip file and WINZIP will open the rest for you.
extract it to a spare directory, no fancy installer here yet,
(READ THE README)
make sure you have a clean copy of MTW with Viking Invasions and Patch 2.01 - no other mods, no campaigns in progress,
then copy the entire directory structure into you clean copy and accept all overwrites - there aren't that many, mostly just the loc files get changed.
any problems READ the read me file and make 100% sure WINNZIP is opening the zip file, no other archive software can cope with the split files i created.
NOW
this IS definately a beta, i expect and hope you lot will find some bugs - i am sure there are a couple, nothing terminal, just glitches,
FOR EXAMPLE
some scrolling maps dont work - i need to know which ones,
which province was attacked AND which province the attack was launched rfom
(READ THE README)
READ ME FILE
November 2 2003
Hi,
this is the read me for the BETA release of the Shogun Mod for MTW-VI patched to 2.01
There is a new campaign map, a new campaign, some units you will be familiar with,
and some you won't, we ran out of custom unit folders, so ninjas use the samurai archer folder.
Many name changes to units and buildings, but you'll get the hang of it,
INSTALL
extract this file set to a spare directory,
make sure you have a CLEAN copy of MTW Viking Invasions, WITH the patch 2.01
no other mods, no campaigns in progress,
then simply drag and drop this folder structure into your medieval directory,
accept all over writes,
when you get to the campaign selection screen scroll down the list,
the Shogun campaign will be the last one in that list.
KNOWN ISSUES
Speckling - the way Shogun and Medieval handles faction colours on units is different,
expect to see some speckling on the units uniforms, flags and weapons, short of recolouring all the animations there is no real way to fix that.
Daimyo's and heirs - these are not all sorted yet,
they will be done for the full release, you have a small sample set for now,
their stats are all wrong, i have yet to complete research on them.
Generals and Heroes, not finished,
you will see some generals appear with the name spare hero slot,
thats is intended, they will be filled for the release.
Mongols - not here yet,
time got away from me and i did not have time to get all the artwork done,
Scrolling maps on campaign pre battle screens - these dont all work yet,
i still have to make/duplicate some, it appears we ran into a few terrain mixes the dev's never thought of,
STILL i do not know all of them
if you see any please make a note of it and let me know WHICH province the attack was launched FROM and WHICH province was being attacked.
Province income - not finalised yet - BUILD FARMS
Trade income - not finalised yet
Units - not finalised yet, there are more to come - :-)
Faction and province bonuses, not finished, doen very roughly for this release
Clans - not all there yet, plenty more to come,
Starting positions and Units - not finalised,
no doubt as soon as i upload this i will think of more,
visit us down in the Dungeon (Alchemist Lab) at The Org
