    Due to a corrupt set of saved games (2 days effort wasted) I've had to reinstall everything MTW.

    I had the command-line modifier to prevent the startup movie running when you load the game, and also the text file changes to correct the "disappearing corpses" bug.

    I've searched but cannot find the instructions on how to reinstate these Can any one help??

    well, for the start movie, just create a blank text file called skipcredits.txt in the directory root.

    dunno about other one.

    Hope this works - surprised no-one remembered it From DnC? "There isn't a patch for it as far as I know, but I can help you.

    This takes about two/five minutes to do.

    Do the following:

    - Go to Medieval - Total War > Textures > Men.
    - Scroll down towards the bottom untill you find DEADPAGE COORDS (the .txt file) and open it.
    - Scroll down (quite a bit down [;)] untill you see this:

    (Other units above - as you can see when looking at the "DEADPAGE COORDS.txt")

    25 15 235 286 282 309
    20 14 284 24 334 44

    25 15 235 286 282 309
    20 14 284 24 334 44

    SaxonHuscarles
    27 13 233 84 283 106
    21 16 40 233 78 257
    25 15 235 286 282 309
    20 14 284 24 334 44
    (other units below)

    - Cut and paste the part in Bold to the bottom of the list (below the last unit of the list), like this:

    (Other units above)
    PictishCrossBows
    26 13 226 311 277 334
    20 16 65 259 101 284
    24 15 289 232 334 257
    21 13 179 132 229 151
    JomsVikings
    27 13 233 84 283 106
    21 16 40 233 78 257
    25 15 235 286 282 309
    20 14 284 24 334 44
    (End of the list)

    - Make sure that this part looks like the following:

    (Other units above)
    EarlyVarangianGuard
    27 13 233 84 283 106
    21 16 40 233 78 257
    25 15 235 286 282 309
    20 14 284 24 334 44
    SaxonHuscarles
    27 13 233 84 283 106
    21 16 40 233 78 257
    25 15 235 286 282 309
    20 14 284 24 334 44
    (other units below)

    This way I know for sure it will work, if there are any enters between the deadpage coordinate entries it might cause problems, but I don't know this for sure, because I have never tested it.

    - Do the same with:

    Bonnachts
    26 13 286 179 334 203
    20 16 118 232 154 257
    24 15 125 206 170 230
    20 13 74 206 123 230

    and

    IrishDartmen
    26 13 286 179 334 203
    20 16 118 232 154 257
    24 15 125 206 170 230
    20 13 74 206 123 230

    If you're a bit lost on how to do it, I'll explain how to do it exactly with these aswell:

    - Look for this:

    20 13 74 206 123 230

    20 13 74 206 123 230

    20 13 74 206 123 230
