Iroquois: I is playin' them.
I'm playing as the Iroqouis in the Grand Campaign. In the below screenie, there is only one candidate because I reorganized the ministers in the cabinet. Taklose Mathla I is the absolute monarch.

I had a whole AAR planned, but I can't seem to find where ETW stores all the screenshots, if at all. The previous TW titles had them saved as tgas in the main directory. :shrug:
Anyways, I'm having lots of fun and am currently raiding Louisiana. I'll post a screenie of the battle sometime soon.
Re: Iroquois: I is playin' them.
Awesome! :2thumbsup:
Is it easy to mod?
Re: Iroquois: I is playin' them.
How is the fog of war situation?
Re: Iroquois: I is playin' them.
Cool! Wasn't it a Republic though?
Re: Iroquois: I is playin' them.
Hopefully your game doesn't lock up a few turns in, I made it to 1707 with the colonies (not US) and now it locks up every time I try to go to the next turn :wall:
There goes two hours of my life :laugh4:
Re: Iroquois: I is playin' them.
How are you guys doing this? Did I miss something?
Re: Iroquois: I is playin' them.
Warning: All versions of minor factions unlocker are very very buggy, some may result in you having to reinstall.
Always make backups.
:2thumbsup:

Man, these guys rock in melee. It's troublesome taking screenies without ETW storing them in a folder somewhere, so sorry for the small numbers.
And can you elaborate on the reinstall thing, Pevergreen? I only backup'd the file that was going to be overwritten. I hope that'll prove to be enough. :thinking:
Re: Iroquois: I is playin' them.
Hopefully that will be enough, but its always a good idea to have a copy of the entire data folder, if you have room.
As for screenshots, use fraps, then convert them with infranview. Its good, Monk told me so! :grin2:
Do you have the tech tree? I fear you will just be left behind later on.

Hah 2hours, played as the brits from 9am on friday till 2am, when i went to load my save game in the morning, both it and the auto save CTD~:mecry:
Re: Iroquois: I is playin' them.
This is definitely pretty awesome. An AAR would be even more so :2thumbsup:.
Re: Iroquois: I is playin' them.
Ooh, that was a short wait.
It would be a shame if CA released sufficient modding tools, and all the hard work went to waste. :P

I stil hope they do :tongue:. At the moment the mod is pretty unstable, and most of the factions that it unlocks have about 4 units each. We definitely need a mod to add in some more units.

It's a shame they didn't just make more factions playable in the first place. That would've avoided the entire issue.
Re: Iroquois: I is playin' them.
I just wish that I could play with the other factions In skirmish battles. (especially Ireland+scotland)

Ok, it's 1717. I drove the French out of Upper Louisiana and New France, leaving them with lower Louisiana, Newfoundland, and Acadia. I am allied with the Pueblo Nations and have trade relations with the Cherokee Nations and the Ottoman Empire (!!!).
When I conquered Quebec, it came with a port. With the port, I am now able to recruit Dhow's (sp?), those Arab trading vessels with 3 guns (:inquisitive: :laugh4:). This is gonna be awesome. My main army consists of Musketmen, elite Warriors, cannons. I keep some bowmen for longer range attacks and cavalry for brutish flanking.
Also when I conquered Quebec, I got ahold of a Classical University. I'll post the small tech tree sometime later.
Short-term goals:
-capture French ships with my crappy fleet of Dhows
-drive the French off my continent
-establish the Inuits and Hurons as protectorates
Long-term Goals:
-drive the British off my contient
-reduce Cherokee territory to Florida, then establish them as protectorates
-establish the Plains Nations as protectorates
-conquer a bit of territory in the Carribean
-conquer Iceland and keep it as my eye on Europe
-conquer some land in India
My heir is a woman. It isn't too unrealistic, as the Iroquois were a matriarchal society. IIRC, each longhouse was governed by a clanmother, who in turn chose a man as their chief. When a couple married, the groom moved in with the bride. Family trees were matriarchal.\
What else? Oh yes, PEVERGREEN: please explain the whole idea about Fraps, please. I heard of it, but have no idea what it's about. :embarassed:
No problems in the campaign so far. Fear us:

Yes, I know these guys're Maya. Shuddup.
EDIT: And about the fog of war problem, it only applied to the lands I started out with. As I keep a small garrison in each town anyways, it has no effect, really. The only problem is there's this small blind spot near the Great Lakes. That will be resolved when I conquer the Huron homeland as that fog of war problem doesn't apply to conquered territories, so far as I see.

Re: Iroquois: I is playin' them.
Fraps is a program, that lets you take screenshots and movies. Quite easy, really, you should download it.
Re: Iroquois: I is playin' them.
I might later. But I don't particularly enjoy doing AAR's. It's so time-consuming, lagging me behind in a campaign. Anyways, here's the Iroqouis tech tree. Military or the other are not available for research by the Iroqouis. But I did buy the canister shot technology from the Marathas last turn. I will see if my canons can use them.

Re: Iroquois: I is playin' them.
Excellent Meth!
Can you build artillery or only capture it?
The fact that they start as a monarchy is a bit disturbing. CA flunked history again. I will save the rant about the Pueblos being in Texas for another time….:smash:
Obviously theses guys have a bad case of recital cranial insertion.:shame:
Pontiac is now Iroquois? That is a little like making George II king of the Barbary States! :dizzy2:
:help:

Considering he's alive and leading armies in 1717 (three years before he was born) is even more troubling...
