Tyberius Mod 2.0 Final Version (a patch for MTW-VI-XL mod)

After months of re-working on my patch I’m glad to show this community the final version of this work. Although based on XL mod, you will find substantial changes from the original version.
This mod is intended as mainly a graphic upgrade and unit upgrade over Miguel Kristensen's (Viking Horde)Total War XL awesome mod since my knowledge is on the graphics area and so far from programming skills, I decided not to make a complete mod for myself, so I asked VH permission to release it and he gave it to me.
Over all XL mod additions such as New campaigns, factions, and units,
Tyberius Mod contributes with the following additions and changes.

Battle mode Improved Features:

1.- Complete shield textures Improved.
Personalized and improved shields for every single unit, you will hardly recognize a re-used shield, even bare wood shields. Several units now use heraldry and faction colored shields, Some shields have been repositioned too.

Wow...I love it, it's wonderful Tyberius, breaths new life into MTW. The graphics are stunningly well done and vibrant, it's what MTW should have been from the start. All hail Tyberius for perfecting an already grand mod!

[seireikhaan]

Well, I guess I found out the answer as to whether or not save games will be compatible. Loaded up an old crusaders/high era game and got some really, uh, interesting things happening. Notably, all my units were different. Royal units were 20 varangian guard, and I had several units of 100 Knights of Santiago.

Not to mention all the rest of my units looked were basically a hodge podge of nearly every unit in the game.

[Achilleslastand]

Looks tremendous......will d/l and play after july 4th holiday.......wonderful looking work........btw is your previous patch included in this or does this contain all?

OOPs! I guess I didn't told you that all previous saved games (including those of my first patch will be messed up cause the unit position on the prod files has changed (if you can notice) in this order: all artillery are listed first, then archers,crossbows and gunners, Spearmen and throwing spearmen, Swordsmen and Axemen, Foot Knights, Militias and polearms, pikes,Javelinmen,peasantry,General units, Mounted knights, heavy lance cavalry, heavy bow cavalry, light lance cavalry,light javelin cavalry, light bow cavalry, light sword cavalry,and finally, camels.
so oops! oops! I think you will be used to this new order, which I find more logical...

Looks tremendous......will d/l and play after july 4th holiday.......wonderful looking work........btw is your previous patch included in this or does this contain all?

yes, this new mod has been worked over the previous one so you'll find all the stuff that were on it, with the exception of the african skirmishers, (I have given the african Warriors the ability of throwing heavy spears intead of the javelins of the skirmishers sort of unifying two-in-one units and replaced the skirmishers with the powerful Longsword Men-at-Arms, unit I think you'll love as I do) Btw this one adds a lot more...However as I said the campaigns started with my previous patch sadly will not work with this mod.

[Tyberius]

To the Admins:
Can you host this mod?
Could you please make this thread Sticky?
I think it deserve it

Thank you very much

I can't seem to get this file (patch 2.2) from Atomic Gamer. After waiting and waiting it still says 3 minutes to go and it never refreshes. I right click on it and manually refresh it and it tells me okay you may download now, but when I try I receive this message: Sorry, but the file you requested could not be found. Please use our searching or browsing capabilities on the left side to help you find the file.

[seireikhaan]

Yikes, those are some pretty big changes. I must admit, I'm a bit curious as to how the land bridge between Sweden and Finland will work out; I think there could be some interesting scenarios arising now out of it.

Also, out of curiosity, what do the sawmills and lumberjacks do? Are they strictly an income earner?

[Bill Westwater]

Looks great, will download and play it tonight.

[ragpick3r]

Tyberius, your work is truly amazing. great job! I just downloaded the 3.0 XL and Tyberius 3.0 all in one install and it works great.

I was wondering if anyone had any info on the new units and stats. I found some info for the XL mod and the new units for it, but would like the info for all the upgrades in the Tyberius mod. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

[ragpick3r]

Never Mind, I found the excel file within the download.... once again, you out-did yourself. Great Job!
I wish someone could put the XL units into a file like Tyberius did, that would be great! Thanks again.

[Tyberius]

Hi folks,
What Axalon states here is true, I made use of his images and forgot to give him credits for it. However it was a mistake, I had no intentions of receiving credits for something I haven't done.

The patches are going to be re-uploaded with images done by myself. I think I have demonstrated to be more than capable of doing all images as good as anybody could.

I will use this list that Axalon gently has provided to us and replace all the files corresponding to this list.
