difficulty levels?

[pevergreen]

Operating system?

wherever you installed steam, it will be steam/steamapps/common/empire total war

i presume you have Pack File Manager already installed? If not, you will need it, and I definately recommend getting Mod Manager, if you have not done so.

Thanks!

Do I need the apps just to view the files and find the modifiers that effect each difficulty level?

Indeed you do.

E:TW does what M2:TW did, it puts all the data in .pack files, to streamline loading and data access.

In doing so, the R:TW method of just editing files is no longer valid.

Pack File Manager (PFM) allows you to have a look inside the .pack files and it names everything that we know. Other columns can be worked out (quite a few) and its the best way currently to modify or check anything.

That is the version of PFM that I use. Its a bit old, but i think it has some stuff the newer ones dont. And probably doesnt have a lot that the new ones have as well.

Mod Manager:
