I palyed Medieval Total War happily on my old computer -- then got a new system with Windows XP and started running into problems. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times but keep running into the following:
1. I can't make Longbows or Billmen as the English. Yes I built all the buildings. Ships don't seem to upgrade either.
2. Tried the Spanish -- still no upgrades from the archery workshop/guild/master. Do get better cavalry, though.
3. Recurrently, once I get to a fine, climactic of enormous size after 40-80 years, the screen gets f___ed up and I can't see anything. Essentially, i can draw mouse tracks all over the screen but that's about it.
Parenthetically, I have patched to 1.1. The above problems have occurred mostly while playing on the 'expert' setting -- although I don't see how that could be causing them.
