Hi CID007,
I will not talk more than I have to here ... but just keep on looking for the announcement of v.2.0.
Yes It is going to be in two Zipped files actually that would be extracted in the MTW main directory ...
Yes there is a new "complicated" tech tree. Also provinces would be a bit more unstable.
There are new buildings also.
It is going to me ~30 to 40MB download too ... for V.3.0 I will try to find a distributor and send it on CDs http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif The aggony of waitingPlease release soon http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif Komninos i asked you before is your Trojan update still available can't find it anymore in the upload section or 3ddownloads.If you want you can mail it zimoa@pi.be.When the new release is out i'me planning in making a website for it with screenshots,info,links to other sites that deal with ancient history and a download section.If you have any wishes let me know.

v.3 on Cd Komninos ??? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif
Is it so huge ? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/shock.gif
That's incredible
Anyway i don't think that downloading 30÷40 mb would be a problem (more or less 1 hour of downloading with 44 kbit/s i believe), the biggest difficult i met was the fact of not to have a clear instructions that lead me step by step to a complete installation.
I don't advice you to distribute on cd your new release... i'm not quite sure it would be a good idea....you may also have more files zipped, if it is a problem to have one huge file, but you should create a main file zipped (as you've just done for v.1) that include intructions step by step, complete, and, maybe, use self-extracting zipped files, that automatically overwrite the originals, only in order to make less manual the installation.
Excuse me if my english was not good, hope you understand enough well http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
Ok...i've stolen you much time and patience...sorry http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/dizzy.gif
...i think it will be a good work....
Thanks for all...see you http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
Hi all,
This is for those of you that have some modding experience and time for debugging ... The HTW V.2.1 Beta is here.
Things we are looking for are files missing, descriptions unit behaviour, game balance ... new ideas ... etc
You will need the two map images (TGAs) form V.1.0 and all the portraits flip and Antalis made that go in the Campmap folder. Then it should go with not much problems. If you stumble on some then check for something missing send me a PM so I can look for it too. As the bugs are found I will upload the new files till all is 100% there and good by that time flip would have uploaded the graphical files for it so the step to V.2.1 would be nice and easy.
BTW do it in a clean MTW installation cause several things will be overwritten from the default files (castles at least).
Thanks to all of you.
**rubs his hands, anxious to get home**
This is a beta 2.1 just for test. The graphics add ons will be in final version.
I´ve tried it:
The portraits: I hope that you´ll reorganize the portraits, because with my and flips paths to the portraits some factions will have viking portraits.
Landscapes: Why havn´t you included them in the beta?
From my first look it works fine.
I suggest you begin to play as the Persians, I've spotted atleast two unit errors that will need fixing in the "names.txt" file as it is unable to read them.
Yes, yes, yes, icons, flags, shieds and menus will be there. Portraits will be compiled from both me and Antalis.
As I told in the past, with wanna offer a nice Xristmas present. Komninos, chek please Landscapes.
Cheers
Ah that´s fine: So Santa will bring a great present http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gifQuote:

New shields for units ... more of the V.1.0 type.
I also see some mixed up with faction names in diplomatic screens like new alliances, allied go to war, ... etc
NagatsukaShumi thanks I will check ... I am positive that I have put in the names but I will cross check
Thanks
Sounds good plz make them by christmas or just after(Im going to be vacation and it would be a fine way to come back home) http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif
Hi Komninos,
I've already the v.1.0 installed on my PC, as you just knew, may i install the v.2.1 overwriting the v.1.0 ? Or must i install it into a new copy of a new entire MTW-VI directory copy, and then copy only the maps of the campaign of the v.1.0 ?
Thank you very much.
See you (ciao). http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
Really impressive battles, I like them very much http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
A suggestion: It would be wonderful if you could change the Forint (the money, false word?) to a greek based currency: I think "Talents" or Drachme, or Obol is a better currency.
Hi,
CID007 better on a clean MTW but It will work fine overwithing the V.1.0 ...
Antalis ... yes but I can't find where this can be changed and also the Hystorical formation names.
For the Greeks could be Athinean Drakma ... for the persians Golden Darius
I've just installed the v2 of the mod. For some reason I'm getting the original MTW campaign map instead of the HTW map. I'm assuming there is a campaign map that goes with the mod. Anyone have an idea what the problem is?
I have uploaded all necessary files and a guide to make the beta workable:
files and guide
In this zip are:
1.The two mapimages (but remember you have to convert them into tga´s).
2. Some Northtribes portraits:
3. A guide (the readme) how to install this files right.

If you're interested, I've explained the cause and solution of the problem in this thread: Solution "no corpses" problem.Quote:

Yes, please fix the problem with no dead bodies.
I started a custom battle and had terrible FPS But then I decided to restart my computer since it had already loaded quite a number of programs before http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif Then I started another battle and my FPS was good again. I mean WOW those units look really awesome. The way the Spartans Hoplites fought was AWESOME They are very deadly.
Can't wait for the final version
Thank you Antalis.
a few problems ive noted - these map be just me
first tho id like to fall on my knees and kiss komminos's boots and shake the hand of everyone who helped make this (cept Duke John hes god and ill stick to worshiping him)
now problems which may be just me
1) Banners dont show the faction symbol they show a black square
2) The stoa is a catholic building but it starts off in the Orthodox greek areas - and for some reason cannot find an image for it so displays a question mark bif and come sup with an error every turn and when u click on the Region - makes Orthodox impossible to play
thats it so far mainly because the damn 2nd error make sit hard to play a Campaign thru - the custom battles rule - and as soon as i finnish playing with the dead cords so bodies remain will be even better - good job guyz
Hi Sir,
For the banners, yoy need copy for now the ones from version 1.0. They are not included in this beta. Go to ...battle/flags/Hellenic, copy the flags to same directory in 2.0. There will be new ones in the graphics pack for HTW 2.0. However it will still missing the flags for Persians and Peoneans.
The orthodox thing, lets wait for Komninos answer. If you have Portraits pack from me and Antalis you may copy the Catholic directory for Orthodox directory.
see you
its building picture s iallready have copied the portraits http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Hi Sir Moody,
Have you downloaded the latest one ~14MB ... This should have the images of the buildings ... if not they should be there for the Catholics and copy them to the Orthodox. I will also try to check this out.
For the two flags that are missing copy two other flags and rename them.

Hey Komninos
can you please give me a basic idea of the Persian Troops descriptions, because I can't seem to find it. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/cheers.gif
kom - yes its 2.1 with all the new looking units - ive tried copying EVERY bif into Orthodox and zip it still cant find what its looking for it comes up with the same error every time
"Royal_Palace2 has been declared catholic but the picture has been requested from /buildings/orthodox but the image is not there or in the root directory - using default"
u get this every time when u click on an orthodox area with the building or when u click on the building tab
as catholic the picture shows and ive copied it over several times still wont show....
Hi:
1.) Some castles have no mapimage: The castlehilly06 and 07.
2.) I had a siege against a fort and decided to attack it (I believe it was Kephallenia) and then I got a castle with the small walls.
I don´t think that this was the right castlemap for a fort.
The stockages got the right castlemap.
Hi
I'm new to the board,but a vet at playing Total War
Installed the latest beta of this great mod units are super
Being playing the campaign since Friday,I've come across all the bugs so far mentioned, to play the campaign without the error I used Gnome's editor and removed "Catholic" From row 15 "specific religion" Royal palace sorry it's not a fix, but helps you to play the campaign all the way to the end without to much hic ups and that;s what beta testing is for
Comments and these are mine and in no way am I fualting a GREAT MOD
I found to many ships the map was covered in them,
To many cavalry units in battles played a battle against the Boeoteans in the campaign 3/4 of their army was cavalry "Hippis Akontistes" since the Greeks didn't use cavalry units extensively it does seem unlikly this would happen, I know from playiny NTW it suffer the same The Ai buying nearly all cavalry units.
could I suggest that ships cost more 30% support cost increased to the same or even more,
The same with cavalry units increase both the cost and support cost aswel as reduceing troop size ie from 80 to 60 60 to 40 40 to 20.
Is it true to history that the Greeks always revolted not very loyal generals all way through the campaign I had very unloyal generals had to kill off some of my own lads to stop revolts, found the trade and pop settingings made the campaign run along great.
Troop stats played good playing against equal armys with same troop types tatics did play a very important role in the victory. not always mine.
Hope this is of some help can't wait for my xmas present V2 of course
Thanks 4 a great mod
