I want to buy the STW and do not know where i can get it. Can you help me with this problem?
welcome the .org and welcome to sword dojo!
you can try via www.amazon.com
hope it works. stw is worth the effort
I `ve found it, thank you.
Another Question: STW is the first game in the Total War row, is that right?
Indeed. Followed by Medieval and then Rome. There are even S:TW adaptions for both M:TW and R:TW.Quote:

Hm, ok i notice that.
Would you tell me a little bit about the units? I know only Rome, an have no idea, what can be in the Shogun altogh I can imagine that there must be Samurai
...
Oh, ok, these arent so many units then in rome. Well its the earliest game...
How many japanese clans are in the game? And how is it to win? Is it like in rome, where you have to conquer 50 provinces and Rome itself, just in Japan, with Kyoto and so on, or is it completely different from medieval and rome?
there are 7 clans.Quote:

then there is a clan called 'rebels and ronin' which exists from... title explains ~;)
and the mongols of course
you can set your own winning conditions in stw we:
- conquer all*
- conquer 40 of 60*
- survive for 70 years
- destroy all enemy clans (except rebels and ronin)
the ones with * you need to choose one of. if you wish you can add one of the others. so you can combine them.
you have bought stw we now? I hope so.. ~:)
No I havent ordered it so far, but I will.
ok. ~:)

So you think, I should buy the "normal" edition of STW.
If I go on the site of Amazon, they write Shogun: Total War Warlord Edition (Jewel Case) by Electronic Arts — Windows 2000 / Me / 98 / XP
So it should go doesn`t it?
Anyway I have to buy first a computer and then I can play the game, but this will happen in the next two weeks.
yes it should, but unfortunately it sometimes doesn't. sounds weird I know.Quote:

But STW will work on xp, xp sp1, and xp sp2.
I know becous ive been running it on all of them,
(using On board gfx, Nvida Gfx, And ATI gfx, also on a host of difrent mother boards And ram types)
Although Many people seem to have problems. I am shure that they can be resolved.
Prehaps a new thread should be compiled with all the errors people get when trying to run STW,
I would be happy to Sift thru them and attempt to answer each problem individualy untill we find the "fix" as it were,
However I dont much relish the thought of sifting through A possibly unlimited number of Difrent titled threads,
So prehaps 1 thread for all stw xp probs should be created.
as for which game to buy. Most people who play online have w/e or MI as far as i can tell.
And games with origional shogun could be difficult to arange,
So prehaps that should be kept in mind.

[QUOTE=Puzz3D]Original STW frezzes on the autumn season after calculation the harvest income. An error is reported in a windows control panel showing the problem is in module aac_parser.ax. /QUOTE]
aac_parser.ax is reported to be a direct show filter, And it lives in system32
Many programs use this file So id imagine some could even update it "im just speculating"
But some of the programs that use this filter include Divx player.
Which is a strange player in its self IMHO.
i would not be suprized if programs lieke those edit the file To make it more compatibel.
However thats just me thinking out loud,
I will try to find out from Divx if they edit tthis file.
or if others would be likley to.
