    Sweden looks good. - Unleash the Scandinavian hordes.

    Kaidonni - Does this mean you've finally got MTW to work on your PC?

    Yep, all thanks to Peter_de123 for discovering that NTW worked on modern computers - because of two of the campaign map buttons. Just needed to copy the two files over the originals, XL and Tyberius don't overwrite them. No CTD issues anymore, and I can run the campaign map on higher resolutions. Unfortunately, 1280x1024 is just too high a resolution for my eyes, and I'm limiting the campaign map to 1024x768. The battlemap will be 1280x1024, though - and I have to use both a modified GroupFormations.txt and the radar map in battles because I haven't been able to fix the mouse-over problems. I refuse not to fight battles, and I don't really see why I can't improvise. It might take some getting used to, but it still works. Any screenies of battles will likely be of the replays (I'm always too busy to take screenshots during battles themselves - someone could get an arrow in their eye! ).

    I am curious if GroupFormations.txt can be modified so that only one unit is required for a 'formation' (i.e. rank depth change, I modified the file).

    I believe in a society without rules, laws and regulations. A society where there are only ideas - strict ideas that must be followed to by the letter - and any failure to comply is punishable by death. This would be no dictatorship or police state, no one would be living in terror. It would merely be a 'reassessment of one's preferences,' people living in 'not-so-optimistic security.' So, welcome, those who are 'longing to be blindly obedient and loyal, unbeknownst to them.'

    For the same reasons as Martok has given, I respectfully disagree and vote for Ireland instead of Sweden. I have read somebody else's Swedish campaign story, but have never seen an Irish one.

    I 've evened up the votes. I just love those Irish units...

    And I gave the Swedes an edge Not'in like the axeman horde from the north taking out anything: swords, spears, cavalry, archers. Oh, the joy. I plan on playing Vikings in MTW:VI after I finish pushing around camels.
