Amazon: Total War

**SubRosa** · 02-06-2009, 02:59

I am still working on ATW, although mostly I have been doing a Gorgon AAR here. Playing the Gorgons has been fun, and has helped me find many bugs that I have fixed. All little things like sprites not appearing correctly, the wrong banner appearing on empty Macedonian cities, the wrong faction name given in the pop-up text over Gorgon cities, etc...

I also went and created new Captain models for most factions on the Strat Map:

I also decided to not make New Amazonia a rebel faction shadowing Amazonia. With that in mind I am making some changes to their unit roster so they will be more distinctive from Amazonia. I will be removing all their hoplites and replacing them with a Warband for an entry-level unit, and a yet to be created Spearwoman unit for their second tier. Finally I will be giving them an entry-level horse archer, which I have nearly completed.

I plan to use this model/skin as a basis for a few more Celtic units, such as a Javelin-Cavalry unit for Gaul, and to replace the archers in the Light Chariots of the Britons.

this mod keeps crashing when I play as the Amazons and rtw is loading for the second battle since I started (i.e. load a game, fight a battle, attempt to fight another, crash before it gets to the battle). Seems to work when I try the Sarmatians, havent tried the other two new factions. Seems like an interesting mod though!

If it is CTD'ing while a battle is loading then you need to install it to a clean copy of RTW (and start a new campaign). I do not know why, but this fixes that issue.

yeah did that. Just got the urge to try RTW again so installed and patched it and then started playing with your mod. New Amazons works also so I might just play as them instead and not worry about it.

I uninstalled and reinstalled rtw, applied patches, put the amazon mod where its supposed to go and it still crashes on the second battle after a load or new game. New Amazonia has started to crash also so I cant get away with just playing them. I wonder if I'm supposed to do something different if running Vista.... I'm tempted to install rtw on my older pc running XP to see if it works.

It is possible that it is something to do with Vista. Olaf is also having problems and has Vista. But I know other people who can play ATW fine on Vista. So I am really not sure.
