Hi King David and all,

I tried to go on in a campaign with your mod. As a Patrician
or as Roman the game freeses in strategic map at the stage of the movements of other armys. Fresh install, 1.1, plus Patrician 1.1.

thanks in advance

Were did you download the Mod from ? Also need the modified date on the patrician campaign file. Just click file properties to get the date. Are you still having problems with it ?

Please, Let me know http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/dizzy.gif if the update I just uploaded today here at the org test section for MTW resolves the problem. I plan on updating the respawn copy as soon as I find what is causing the crash. I am downloading the mod from respawn now and will tested on my PC. Thanks for your interest, apreciate it.

Make sure to apply the Giskard PaganImagePak to the Patrician mod. Also crank down the unit sizes in the obtions for better performance. You will still get those huge battles due to the huge barbarian armies. I found the problem with the crash was when you play as pagan faction the baronial court will crash the game especialy if you choose it. I played over 200 turns as a barbarian gaul with no problems after the adjustment. I also took the emissaries from the pagans barbarian factions and the performance of the game increased. The AI will saturate the map with emissaries if they are produced by pagans. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/shock.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/idea.gif

Hi,
Ok, all fine here with the new update. Being playng a campaign as Macedonnian, no crashes. What I liked was the amount of money we get from beggining: 80000$. I not tried as Patrician or Roman. Also I duplicated the Pagan folder.

In costum battles I have 2 times the slot Patricin as a choice. Normal?

Giskard PaganImagePak: what is this?

Any plans for a well modelled Cataginian faction? I'm a expert on this ancient armys.

No problems with performance. XP2000 512 ram, Geforce 4200, Unit sizes in Default.

Thanks

Glad you enjoy the mod. I have been posting allot of information on it at the dungeon Patrician Available thread.
I would point you in that direction so you can stay updated with all the changes. Did you get the fire arrows yet ? That update is available in the Test download section.
Also the Romans have their eagle for battle and the Cignum Unit identifier flag the eagle being most important Historicaly. The Eagle displays over the Faction leader legion flag. The Denarii adjustment was made due to the larger armies on the map.
In custom battles I dint do anything but changed faction names and of course you will se those awsome roman unit icons for the Romans and Patricians. That should be interesting, try playing with it let me know.
The Giskard PaganImagePak file is very important for the mod bacause most factions are PAGAN. The Game has a Pagan faction bug with the royal buildings and other issues discovered by Barocca so he made the fix and it works well with the mod. It basicaly fixes the review panel display of baronial court and other buildings without it the game will crash when you choose a building for the pagans. Most times you can play without it installed but I recomend all apply it. I hate crashes and dont want to put anyone through that.
I could use your help with the Carthaginians and any other ancient factions you would like to modify. Mostly unit icons and unit placements new unit identity. The mod is a goldmine of things that can be changed in the game if you look carefuly at the changes you will get some nice ideas for future expansions and for your own mods. I play it everyday and actualy enjoy it more than the default MTW.

Also notice during battle that you have battle formation choices in the group formation screen. Try them. My fave is line of battle key #1 Square for deffence and but they are all good. The AI does not get those choices but you do.

Keep the unit sizes at default due to the large size of some units and cav. It may crash your game if you make it to big. Keep me posted and visit the dungeon.

Hi KD

No problems since then, I,m pushing hard my system with no crashes. Played with Samnites, Romans, Patricians,etc.
As a newbie I can't post on Dugeon but I pik all the information there. Ok, using Giscard patch,fire arrows ok, love the spearmans also,ok with battle formations. I'm using also Double Down units, whats your opinion?

I'm studing a possible order of battle for the Carth's. Can they pass to Europe from Gibraltar, as Hannibal did? I have the sources for that but I can't get a way to begin. Help...
What do you'll need?

See you
