moving saves

[Prussian to the Iron]

how can i move saves from one computer to another? i know in previous games they were in a folder and i could copy and paste them to my flash drive, but i cannot locate it now. where exactly can i find the save games to move to my other computer?

If you have Vista: For Vista: C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembley\Empire\save_games\

XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[name]\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\save_games

Note that these folders are probably hidden.

i tried those. all my E:TW stuff is in steam. whats the address for the savegames there?

[Monsieur Alphonse]

They are there. Just change the properties of your folders so they show when hidden and you will find your saves.

ok, how do i do that on vista and XP?(i am moving it from a XP onto a vista)

[A Very Super Market]

No, all saves are supposed to be in the folders MA described. None in steamapps, which is where the game files are located.

so how do i make it so i can view hidden files?

and i am moving it from an XP to a vista. will this go fine?

[Monsieur Alphonse]

XP Configuration screen ==> map options ==> second tap (don't know what it is called in English since I have Dutch Windows) ==> chack: show hidden map and files.

Vista Don't know.

You'll need a big flashdrive or make several trips depending on how many saves you have. I think the average size of a save file is 50MB.

i only need to move 2 saves, and i have a 2gb flashdrive. thats nothing for me, i moved over a file with: RTW patch 1.3, patch 1.5, EB 1.0. EB 1.1, EB 1.2, the phalanx mod for EB, and the RS textures for EB in 1 go. 2 saves is nothing for me
