 Caravel mod v3.3
Updated version
Dear user,
thank you for your interest in the Caravel mod.
The mod was made for Medieval Total War/VI version 2.1, english edition.
It modifies the early campaign of the main game, with the aim to make the vanilla gameplay shine.
It was made and playtested with the following settings in mind and its strongly suggested you play it thus:
1. Add after the -ian extension, the -loyalty:130 and the -green_generals shortcuts to your MTW exe shortut.
2. Choose to play either between huge (120man sword unit/200man spear/80man horse ) or normal
(60man sword unit/100man spear/40man horse ) unit settings. Once you have set the unit settings to your choice,
then choose the equivalent campaign ie "CRVL (huge)" or "CRVL (normal)" from the campaign choice menu.
My personal suggestion is huge, but default works just as well.
The campaign economics have been custom calibrated to the unit setting you choose, so make sure you have picked
the right one for your unit settings!
3. Choose hard or expert difficulty.
4. Turn off the clock in battles from the Game options menu.
In order to play the mod, you'll need to target the .rar archive that contains the Mod, to extract itself to
wherever your Main MTW game folder is.
The location of the main MTW game folder varies according to edition.
If you have the original game edition with the VI expansion patched to v2.1, then your game will be in:
C\Program Files\Total War\Medieval Total War
If you have the Gold edition, that includes combined the main game and the VI expansion and installs through DVD rom,
then make sure the game version is patched to v2.1 (for some gold editions you need to download and install the v2.1 exe
patch); for that the game will be in:
C\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Medieval Total War
If you have installed the game in a custom location, then target The Caravel Mod.rar to extract itself there.
You will be prompted if you want the files replaced (with those of the Mod), choose "Yes to all"
In case you have any question, suggestion or anything else you wish to say about the mod, you are more than welcome to
do so in the relevant thread in www.totalwar.org, at the Engineer's guild found in the MTW modification subsection,
found at the Medieval Total war section of the forums.
I hope you enjoy the mod, as much as i do ;)
Regards

Update 13/12/05 - Version 1 Complete now uploaded including professorspatula's excellent maps and new leader pic's
What does it do?
This mod allows you to play as all of the factions within BI as they appear or emerge within the vanilla game.
What version is this for?
It is for the vanilla Barbarian Invasion.
How big is it?
Approx. 3.9 meg
How does it work?
For all factions which are present at the start of the game just select them as usual from the campaign menu.
The emergent factions are marked as 'Not Playable at Start' on the Faction Selection Screen. To play as one of these factions, you must select one of the other factions that begins the game (as specified in the emergent faction's campaign description):
At the beginning of the game, the advisor will appear and ask if you wish to swap control to the emergent faction. If so, click on the 'Show Me How' button and the game will switch to auto-pilot until the faction emerges. If not, press the dismiss button. For example:

Version 1.1 - cursaders_unit_prod11.txt, crusader_build_prod13.txt and ProjectileStats.txt
Version 2+ - as above, plus any unit and building file defined by the campaign files found in \campmap\startpos.
Refer to the general_instructions.txt file for instructions on how to use this utility.
NOTE: All files are opened when this utility starts. Any changes made to the files listed below not using this utility while you have this utility running will be overwritten when any Save option is used in this utility.
It may modify the following files which contain associated information
about buildings and units etc. Note: <xxx> is the localisation folder ie. Eng
- \loc\<xxx>\descriptions.txt (Unit,Navel,Agent and Building Descriptions only)
- \loc\<xxx>\names.txt (Unit singular and plural names, building names)
- \loc\<xxx>\events.txt (ship sunk messages)
- \textures\men\deadpage coords.txt (new units)

Files can also be added to the following directories (and sub directoires of these) when new units/buildings are created.

- \campmap\Info_Pics\Buildings\
- \campmap\Info_Pics\Ships\
- \campmap\Info_Pics\Units\
- \campmap\pieces\buildings\
- \campmap\review_panel\Buildings\

The following files are also read (but not updated) to gain additional information.
- \loc\<xxx>\changes.txt
- \loc\<xxx>\glorygoals.txt
- \campmap\startpos\<campaign_file>.txt
Hopefully this will take alot of your editing hassles away.
When reporting bugs, please be more specific than "IT DOESN't WORK".
Please provide the actual error displayed and if it exists, the 'HedgesMTWDEditor.log' file found in the HedgesMTWDEditor directory.
Where posible it would also be very helpfull if you sent the files listed
above (including campaign, unit and building files but excluding the picture files) as that should enable duplication of the problem (not all of them) which will help provide a speedy fix.
Yours in editing madness

Disclaimer:
This application must be run at a resolution of 1024by768. Running at different resolutions may cause strange displays.
It has been tested on a Windows XP and Windows 98 platforms without any problems, although no guarantee is made that it will be able to run on all platforms or configurations.
This application handles all required formatting for you, however, while I have tested this, there may be the odd time when formatting is not done correctly. In such cases restoring from backup should fix the problem. If the problem persists drop me a line at the email address specified above with a description of the problem and a copy of the dodgy file. I will try and make any fixes required to this application to sort out formatting issues.
Care has been taken to find all possible combinations for combo boxes and lists used in this application but no guarantee is made that all details have been found. Most values required for these combo's and lists can be found in the MTWDElists.txt file found in the HedgesMTWDEditor folder. You may add additional entries to these lists if required without affecting the running of this application (unless told otherwise), although whether Medieval Total War will accept your changes is another matter.
While I have endevoured to make sure everything works you use this at your own risk. Prudence says you should backup your original files before you start over-writing them (including separate backups not associated with this editor).
Installation:
Unzip and install this directory (HedgesMTWDEditor) into your Total War root directory (ie. .exe directory)
