Count zimoa, you asked me to email you regarding the proper writing of english for all your descriptions. I emailed you in which you replied with a link to the beta version of HTW. I have not signed up for beta testing, however if you wish I can assist as best I can and download the mod. I dont know if you got my return email stating this mistake so I am posting here now.

You don't have to test but if you want to have a go with the Loc\Eng files and look for language errors you need the latest files that is why i passsed on the link...

Roger will do. No experience with the files mentioned but im sure I can figure it out. Will go over them in the weekend. By the way, tried the beta 3.1 http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...gc-stunned.gif Wow Very VERY hard at expert difficult level. I was wiped out in 14 years... and I never lost a single MTW game ever...

So it'll be out mabye at end of June? Sounds good... can celebrate my freedom from school by playing HTW. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/smokin.gif

Hey, I'm having some problems with the Troy mod. The campmap is wrong, it looks like the normal MTW campmap, but it's got the provinces and sea province of the Troy map. Help please

this better then Troja movie http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

Just a question about a certain function in the game. I noticed in the last version 2.1, I noticed that when a unit of hoplites were engaged in combat that the entire unit would fight i.e the number of supporting ranks would be 6+, this is good for pikes Hoplites should only be 1-2 which = 2-3 ranks figthing/supporting ranks. Easy fix, this can be fixed in the Hellentic_unit text file http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/handball.gif waiting for this great MOD

the reason for this is to give the Hoplites the advantage they need reduce it and they soon lose - dont worry tho pikes have a greater number of supporting ranks

What I was talking about is unit anamation, The entire unit attacking/moving at the same time. If you only have two/three supporting ranks it looks cleaner for the Hopolites when the unit is engaged.

Reiksmarshal, as you know the TW is a simulation. There were no units fighting like the Hoplitic phalanx in the Middle Ages so by doubling the number of supporting ranks we try to emulate the “othisis” the Phalanx performed. In this when the Hoplitic phalanx engaged the first 3 ranks would do the fighting but the rest of the unit would put there weight and push the forward ranks. Something like Tag-o-war but in the opposite direction. This had a profound effect on the enemy formations that fought in a loose fashion with no interdependency from the side or the rear ranks. The effect was that of a bulldozed rolling over enemy formations as it moved forward. The shields were used both defensively and offensively. Any enemy falling would be stepped over till someone would kill him using the 35Kg shield.

That is why all the hoplitic units have a double supporting ranks number.
Normal Hoplites – 6
Yficratian – 8
Sarissa – 10

I'm not a beta tester but could not resist trying your great mod in it's raw form :) One thing: it seems no valor is gained from buildings offering the bonus in their description. But probably it has been noted already.

Help with install
I am having problems installing HTW.

I copied my MTW(v2.01) directory to a new location and ran the HTW v2.1 Beta.exe

When the program is copying files, it pauses and throws an error:
campmap\Portraits\Hellenic\Catholic\assassin29.tga: This file contains invalid data.(error 21FC). You will have to run this utility again to completely install HTWv2.1 Beta.

I have run the installer several times with no new results. I looked in the above directory and the assassin files stop at 28. Is there something wrong with the installer?

I was really looking forward to playing HTW, it looks awesome. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

JBerto,

I too can't get the download to function properly. I get the exact same error message. To make things worse, I got a small taste of this excellent mod on Friday before the computer I downloaded to http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/gc-wall.gif I'm sure someone will give us a hand.

Could be a corrupt download please try to download it again,if you still have the same problem report back and i can have a look at the uploaded files.Thank you...

CZoF,

I downloaded the file again and the same error occurred.
