Short cut to get to new world

[Valza the wolfskin]

Hi I`m playing mtw2 for half a year.
i`ve completed two campaign with England and France.
but in the both campaign i didn`t reach to new world coz in the time when the round world happens my campaign would be completed or mostly.
could anyone tell me any ways or mobs that give me a way to get to new world quicker and make my campaign more fun.

Just change the time of the round world event. It's in descr_strat.txt if I remember correctly....

There is a new world event?

[gollum]

Yes there is Terentia, in (many) TW games certain things happen with "events". These represent historical occurancies that are hardcoded (set) to occur not before a set amount of time or triggered by some dynamic condition. For example the reforms of the Roman army in RTW are represented by the Gaius Marius event that has as trigger the building of an Imperial palace in any city in the Italian peninsula or Sicily. In M1TW and M2TW the introduction of gunpowder as a weapon is represented by an event that unlocks relevant buildings/units. Similarly with the discovery of teh New World.

I played turks and i found that i have no ship capable of reaching the new world.

anyway i've conquered the new world while playing england. but it's a very tedious process, getting troops from england to the new world. it's okay if you just need to take the rebel settlements, but this settlements start at a very low tech. it take quite a while before you can raise enough competent troops locally to face the Aztecs. despite their skimpy armor and non-metallic weapons, they mauled my full bar army of archer militias and bill militias.

IIRC you need a naval drydock that enables you to build Carracks/Grand Carracks that are the only ships that can reach accross the Atlantic.

Don't underestimate one of the mightiest American empires at the time. The only reason the idiot Spaniards were able to storm Tenochtitlan was because of disease, internal Aztec instability, and massive amounts of indigenous allies who wanted the Aztecs dead. Gunpowder, horses, skin colour, metal arms&armours, and even the Spanish irregulars themselves played little to no role in the conquest.
