MTW-Redux Beta Released!

[Axalon]

Hi Jingo,

Well MTW/Redux is like that... Time goes and suddenly you want to play it all over again. France huh? Challenge? Well, I think that is part of what makes Redux stand out from other mods/projects, it is typically much tougher then all other stuff made for MTW, and obviously everything is tougher then raw MTW. France is a standard faction in Redux (as is England, HRE, Spain, Italy and Poland), which means it is supposed to deliver a solid challenge somehow. Some factions are tougher (Spain and Poland are the hardest), some are easier (England easiest amongst the regular factions) and some are in between (HRE, Italy and France). As for the rest, they are typically easier to handle, due to being less complex, better starting points and potential bonuses and so forth. The Muslim factions are probably the easiest optional factions in Redux (followed by the Byzantines). Saracens being the easiest of them all...

As for the English and their ships (in your example)... Well, if they got the cash and tech for it, they typically build a bunch of ships, and use them. Of course there are always exceptions to that, but that is usually what happens. My guess would be that something was not in place, or the enemy lands they (England) could attack was too well defended, could be that too... Try another campaign with France and see what happens, RX-campaigns have a strong tendency to be very different each time, much more so then ever was the case in the raw game, but it could differ quite a bit in the raw MTW too. Just a suggestion, while you wait for unipatch2...
