[octavian]

thx Carsolan

Yes, you can play it, and all will be the same except for the names of the units (for example Byz cavalry = stratiotai, viking carls = chinese infantry etc.).

There should have been a ReadMe file that came with the installation. If you can't find it in there, head to WesW's site because I know there's a very comprehensive changelist. If I were to list all of his great changes I would be here until night time. :D

P.S. Great work Wes

I love MEDMOD however, i have noticed a (possible) bug, my ships seem to be unable to land, no pun intended, in the marmara (think constantinople)
*goes off to write a song about how much he loves medmod, and how screwed up his life is going to be from now on, cause he won't be able leave the game alone http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif*

Actually, if you were to try and list all the changes, you would be here until next month Believe me, people who only play the mod have no idea of how much has changed. I am talking about 10,000's of individual changes. I have spent, on average, around 25 hrs a week on this mod, for over 15 months now, plus all the other thousands and thousands of hours that others have spent writing parts of the code, researching, and writing reports on their playtesting.

Now, getting back to your questions.... Go back to my website, and go over the Intro Readme for the mod that I have posted. Then find the Charts and Readmes folder, which contains all the other stuff you need to know. The best thing to do is pretend that you have bought another expansion to the game, because that is how big this mod is. (Though only five or six people have ever thought enough of the mod to send me a donation) :(

believe me wes, if i had a credit card + money, i'd make a donation, however, i dont really have those two key things, and my parents aren't all that crazy about me giving away their money http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif the mod is great

indeed wes, your stuff was the flavor that beats out chocolate and orange and all that stuff, i do like that vanilla icecream stuff though, but then again i put pepper on cantelope slices???
superb stuff that medmod,

I'm still playing the "no-unit" MedMod, as the complete package makes most of the text info in the game (italian version) unreadable (lots of and error reports)...any translation attempt resulted in ctd.
Too bad there isn't a way to make the game run in English (other than buying an US/English version, that is.)

Wes, how is boat building in 4.0? I absolutely love 3.14 EXCEPT I hate the restrictions (that don't seem to make sense) on where I can build boats. For instance, as the Italians I can build boats in France but not Spain, that doesn't seem to make much sense. Is this improved in 4.0?

By the way, I can't wait for a new Medmod. Hurry And if you need an experienced player to help beta 4.0 let me know. I usually get about 12 hours a week in. Although I have been losing entirely too often with 3.14.

Well, version 3.14 is set up to convert the entire game to English, and contains instructions on how to un-install the mod and return it to any non-English version very quickly and easily.

Wonderful I'm going to download 3.14 in seconds, then :)

Hey guys, recently instaled medmod IV 3.13 and keep getting this mesage everytime i go into a battle, castle assault etc. :
