a small warning to modders,
If VI is not in your registry then the patch wont work,
(the dude who compiled the installer needs a stint in the naughty cupboard)
if you have no idea what i mean by that, then you do not need to worry, the patch will probably work just fine,
if you do not have a copy of VI in windows registry go browse the direct download page here at the org (not 3D) and look for VI modders patch. simply backup the files
Medieval_TW.EXE and version.inf, then install the content of zipfile into medieval directory.

Post IV and with "bug", Kings died at 56. Precisely predictable. No variation.
The question is post-"patch", using the above as a guide, what level of variation would you describe in comparison?
2) Is the age of death OPTIONABLE? Can this be modded?
3) The "bug" added a level of pressure (most realistic) to produce an Heir that was not present in pre-IV MTW. It made the fact that a Campaign would be lost with the death of an "heir-less" King TRULY relevant
Is there the same "pressure" and "relevancy"?
This sounds interesting, but the reality may be less so. Seems as if CA is attempting to preserve real relevance for Heirs, but I hesitant to install the Patch.Quote:

Thank you in advance for your response.

TS, heretofore, has not commented on the "Reinforcement Bug":
Please tell me what general, what period and what engagement, wherein the general in question experienced ABSOLUTE confidence in his "reinforcements"? Confidence being, that they would arrive "en masse" (or arrive at all); precisely as directed; and, in the "order" that was directed?
Absolutely, NEVER happened, anywhere, any point, for anyone, NEVER in history. You folks want this game to be "realistic" or what? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/rolleyes.gif
I don't feel that these troops should be looked upon as reinforcements just arriving on the battlefield. They are actually troops already present on the field but held in reserve to "reinforce" a weak spot in your line or exploit a breach in the enemy's formation. Hence the irrelevancy of the "arriving in masse or in formation" theory IMO. Rather like:Quote:

This wouldn't take much time or effort with the reserves already gathered on the field. One flag to signal the longbow to withdraw and a combination of signals or a courier to direct the feudal men at arms to advance to the right flank.
Even a general who is severely outnumbered will hold one or two companies in reserve until the foe reveals its intent or makes a breakthrough.

I keep getting crashes every once in a while. The last time I crashed was 15 mins ago, and then I just crashed right now. Anyone know what's going on with that? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/frown.gif
Guys, you better download the patch soon because there's a post on .com saying:

What? They've taken the patch down in order to meet some meaningless commercial release date that some bean-pusher has decided on? What possible advantage could removing the patch and then putting it back up in a few days gain them? I'm going to try and host it Up yours activisionQuote:

Anyone who wants the patch, PM me. (I have bandwidth considerations)
I'd be happy to upload but I don't know how or if it's legal and I don't want to be sued by mighty Activision http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gifQuote:

My guess is that Activision will officially release the patch when they make their announcement about Rome's release date.
