This is so true, and I've always felt like a #2, in both chess as well as RTS games (among other games). I simply find myself impatient or not motivated to teach myself and practice the skill knowledge needed to make wise and intelligent decisions during the games. I've always played with intuition. But this year I was able to gain much more knowledge than ever in terms of the TW series games. Give me a #3! (And I'm sure that 'the rest' falls under beginner players because after a short while beginners and newcomers enter #1 or #2, and then move forward.)

I always played as a #2 type of person. Always had the feeling, but always been working on getting the knowledge.

Did a Search on Steam for Tempiic and I haven't been able to find you on NTW.
Add me to your friends list... ^Glyndwr^

If you guys don't have me down yet, my Steam username is UglyElmo Send a friend request and i will accept.

**LadyAnn** · 09-18-2010, 23:04

I play by the sense of smell :)

**UglyElmo2** · 09-19-2010, 04:55

I would be much better but I am blind and my braile monitor begins to hurt my fingers during those long matches. :)

I had a similar experience tempiic, got the game and couldent find anyone on steam so almost gave up then aggonyducky kinda took me under his wing

, i remember the first 2 weeks i was mostly kicked from the games when i joined.

Peep about to be on wolves hunt list: Wheres you clan tag?
Wolf_Swoosh: Um wolves?
Peep about to be on wolves hunt list: Thats not a clan! (it doesent have <>!!)
Wolf_Swoosh: ....
kick!

It all ends happily though when those players on the list rage quit your game these days when you win the first skirmish of a battle killing their first unit.

Add me to friends and get amp on there too.

Steam names SwooshSo and AMPs

sad experience.... dunno why perhaps you feminized your wolf reputation too much :) leave some blood on your coat when hunting around

**ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88** · 09-19-2010, 22:29

I didn't know Magyar, that she, Swoosh, was a woman until 6 months ago or so until someone told me. She did a good job hiding it. Those wolf teeth confused me!

I know what you mean Swoosh. But at least they bothered to have some words with you first.

So far I am struggling with the basic things but I am making some slow progress in 1v1s. I have gained some stars this weekend so no more boots for me. I just wished that the lobby wasnt that well hidden. I am pretty sure it is locked too and that they lost the key to it as well. So these group and friends thingies really are helpfull.

I did catch you, amp and magy in a game last saturday though. But it didnt go too well on my part. Seems like my blades are dull and rusty, but apparantly we're fighting with rifles and muskets this time. Still I had fun and enjoyed a resurgance of old memories. Also thanks to Tomi and Elmo. I appreciate the invitation. Anyways, I better learn to enjoy the sight of my arty being hugged to death by horsies. That happens too frequently ;)

The most important thing is to use the debug camera mode as the normal camera is far too close in.
You can find the scripts file here:
C:\Users\S1\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Napoleon\scripts
Change the S1 to your computer account name
Open the file called preferences.script with wordpad and look for this line:
default_camera_type 1; # default_battle_camera <card32>, default battle camera: 0-totalwar 1-rts 2-debug #
change the default_camera_type 1 to default_camera_type 2 then save the file and reload or load the game.
Helps alot microing those spread out single file armies that ntw has and allows you too see your whole army or the whole map in one screen.

You may have to enable view hidden files and folders on your pc - also note this path is for windows 7 if you have xp it will be different.
