M2TW works very nicely on an Intel MacBook Pro

[Banquo's Ghost]

I really didn't think that M2TW would run at all well on my MacBook Pro (1.83 Core Duo) as the video card is only a Radeon X1600 with 128 MB.

However, a PM from Gorm informed me that he had installed it on his iMac successfully, and this emboldened me to try it out - hoping not to waste my euros.

Well, I can report that it runs extremely well and looks fantastic. I have a lot of RAM (1.5GB) so maybe that helps, but the battles run with all the effects like grass and suchlike. I have not yet tried it with anything but the default unit size, so I suspect that's where I won't get much further, but who cares - it looks great as it is. I'll add more information as I tweak.

I'm a happy Mac bunny! :balloon2: :balloon2:

Now I've got to figure out how to get past that wretched restriction on factions at the start...

Thanks for Gorm for his inspiration. :bow:

Well, good to hear it's all working out for you Banquo ~:)

To answer the quoted:


Open medieval2.preference.cfg [in your MTW folder} and add this:
Code:

[misc] unlock_campaign = true



Or


OR edit the descr_strat.txt file. Delete lines number 10 and 11, ie:

Code:

end unlockable

Or simply destroy a faction on the campaign map to make it playable, this doesn't count for all factions though - better just edit the preference.cfg file.
