Fix for Broken STW Historical Battles

[Red Harvest]

I found this info following some links in the Entrance Hall. I have not tried it yet. There are some historical scenarios in STW/MI that were broken by the 1.02 patch--apparently as part of a fix for reinforcement bugs in the main game. This should fix them.

Mimesaka Akechi has posted this fix for the files (the thread link

When I verify this fixes all the files with problems I might try to make a pack to upload to the .org.

Quoting:

Also, some people have had problems with Nagashino crashing to desktop, I decided to find out what the problem is and it is easily fixable :)

To make the battle work, go into C:\Program Files\Total War\Shogun - Total War\Battle\batinit\Historical Campaigns\Oda Nobunaga 1534\Nagashino

and open the Takeda Katsuyori file. There are 21 units in there and you need to fix 12 of them. All you need to do is delete the text that says:

Reinforcements::0
DelayTillEngagement::true

Then the battle works :)


I believe what happened was that in 1.02 they changed the way reinforcements work...and this messed up the historical battles, kakegawa has a fix similar to thise one and the last mongol battle as well.


Just recently came to my attention that many people don't know that it is possible to play as either side in the Historical battles and campaigns. It is quite simple, all you have to do is switch the ARTIFICIAL and LOCAL parts of the battle description, which you can find in your Shogun folder. :)

C:\Program Files\Total War\Shogun - Total War\Battle\batinit\Historical Campaigns\Oda Nobunaga 1534\Nagashino

Player::"Oda Nobunaga_xzy" 3 3 LOCAL "Oda" 0 false 5743 35013 130
Player::"Takeda Katsuyori_xzy" 5 5 ARTIFICIAL "Takeda Katsuyori" 0 true 24694 8388 305
