Iroquois: I is playin' them.

[Megas Methuselah]

I'm playing as the Iroqouis in the Grand Campaign. In the below screenie, there is only one candidate because I reorganized the ministers in the cabinet. Taklose Mathla I is the absolute monarch.

I had a whole AAR planned, but I can't seem to find where ETW stores all the screenshots, if at all. The previous TW titles had them saved as tgas in the main directory. :shrug:

Anyways, I'm having lots of fun and am currently raiding Louisiana. I'll post a screenie of the battle sometime soon.

[Rhyfelwyr]

Awesome! :2thumbsup:

Is it easy to mod?

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

How is the fog of war situation?

[Subotan]

Cool! Wasn't it a Republic though?

Hopefully your game doesn't lock up a few turns in, I made it to 1707 with the colonies (not US) and now it locks up every time I try to go to the next turn :wall:

There goes two hours of my life :laugh4:

How are you guys doing this? Did I miss something?

[pevergreen]

Warning: All versions of minor factions unlocker are very very buggy, some may result in you having to reinstall.

Always make backups.

Man, these guys rock in melee. It's troublesome taking screenies without ETW storing them in a folder somewhere, so sorry for the small numbers.

And can you elaborate on the reinstall thing, Pevergreen? I only backup'd the file that was going to be overwritten. I hope that'll prove to be enough. :thinking:

[pevergreen]

Hopefully that will be enough, but its always a good idea to have a copy of the entire data folder, if you have room.
As for screenshots, use fraps, then convert them with infranview. Its good, Monk told me so! :grin2:

Do you have the tech tree? I fear you will just be left behind later on.

Hah 2hours, played as the brits from 9am on friday till 2am, when i went to load my save game in the morning, both it and the auto save CTD~:mecry:

This is definitely pretty awesome. An AAR would be even more so :2thumbsup:.

[A Very Super Market]

Ooh, that was a short wait.

It would be a shame if CA released sufficient modding tools, and all the hard work went to waste. :P

I stil hope they do :tongue:. At the moment the mod is pretty unstable, and most of the factions that it unlocks have about 4 units each. We definitely need a mod to add in some more units.

It's a shame they didn't just make more factions playable in the first place. That would've avoided the entire issue.

[Greyblades]

I just wish that I could play with the other factions In skirmish battles. (especially Ireland+scotland)

Ok, it's 1717. I drove the French out of Upper Louisiana and New France, leaving them with lower Louisiana, Newfoundland, and Acadia. I am allied with the Pueblo Nations and have trade relations with the Cherokee Nations and the Ottoman Empire (!!!).

When I conquered Quebec, it came with a port. With the port, I am now able to recruit Dhow's (sp?), those Arab trading vessels with 3 guns (:inquisitive: :laugh4:). This is gonna be awesome. My main army consists of Musketmen, elite Warriors, cannons. I keep some bowmen for longer range attacks and cavalry for brutish flanking.

Also when I conquered Quebec, I got ahold of a Classical University. I'll post the small tech tree sometime later.

Short-term goals:

-capture French ships with my crappy fleet of Dhows
-drive the French off my continent
-establish the Inuits and Hurons as protectorates

Long-term Goals:

-drive the British off my contient
-reduce Cherokee territory to Florida, then establish them as protectorates
-establish the Plains Nations as protectorates
-conquer a bit of territory in the Carribean
-conquer Iceland and keep it as my eye on Europe
-conquer some land in India

My heir is a woman. It isn't too unrealistic, as the Iroquois were a matriarchal society. IIRC, each longhouse was governed by a clanmother, who in turn chose a man as their chief. When a couple married, the groom moved in with the bride. Family trees were matriarchal.\

What else? Oh yes, PEVERGREEN: please explain the whole idea about Fraps, please. I heard of it, but have no idea what it's about. :embarassed:

No problems in the campaign so far. Fear us:

Yes, I know these guys're Maya. Shuddup.


EDIT: And about the fog of war problem, it only applied to the lands I started out with. As I keep a small garrison in each town anyways, it has no effect, really. The only problem is there's this small blind spot near the Great Lakes. That will be resolved when I conquer the Huron homeland as that fog of war problem doesn't apply to conquered territories, so far as I see.

[Maleficus]

Those guys are Maya.

[A Very Super Market]

Fraps is a program, that lets you take screenshots and movies. Quite easy, really, you should download it.

[Megas Methuselah]

I might later. But I don't particularly enjoy doing AAR's. It's so time-consuming, lagging me behind in a campaign. Anyways, here's the Iroqouis tech tree. Military or the other are not available for research by the Iroqouis. But I did buy the canister shot technology from the Marathas last turn. I will see if my canons can use them.

Excellent Meth!

Can you build artillery or only capture it?

The fact that they start as a monarchy is a bit disturbing. CA flunked history again. I will save the rant about the Pueblos being in Texas for another time….:smash:

Obviously theses guys have a bad case of recital cranial insertion.:shame:

Pontiac is now Iroquois? That is a little like making George II king of the Barbary States! :dizzy2:

:help:

Considering he's alive and leading armies in 1717 (three years before he was born) is even more troubling...
